Sorry the last part was very awkward what is my life?

It's about 8 am, I wake up from Joe texting me.

'Good morning Mia.'

'Heyyy.'

'What time am I picking you up?'

'I don't know,maybe just after lunch.'

'Okay.'

There's a picture of me and Charlie on Instagram,it's the end of the bed and you can see half of Joe's face. Joe likes it then I get a text.

'I'm in your recent Instagram picture haha.'

I thought he would pick up on something else.

Charlie wakes up and turns to me. He rubs his eyes.

"What are you doing here? What happened?" He says,laughing.

"Oh I don't know,I'm Joe Sugg."

"Please be." Charlie's still laughing.

"Hmmm,me or Joe?"

"You you you."

"aww but I would chose Joe over me."

"You hate yourself so that's why."

"No....."

We get out of bed and get dressed,then we have breakfast.

My phone goes off,it's Joe again.

'Mia what do you think I'm going to say too you?'

'That you love me and that your going to just pretend I never fucked him.'

'Mia fucking hell.'

'You wanted to know.'

'I was going to tell you that your mums not coming back. She's found someone,so she says. So she's moving into a house and leaving me with you. She's left us money if we ever run low on the rent.'

'She's leaving me?'

My face drops,I know Charlie can tell.

'Not just you,me too. Apparently I know more about you then she does.'

'No. It's just you actually understand what I'm going though and she says I need help.'

I can feel my eyes filling up with tears,Charlie comes over to me.

"Are you okay?"

"My mums leaving. She so say has met someone on her holiday. So she's living with him."

"Who will you stay with?"

"Joe. But my mum promised she would never leave me."

"I'm so sorry Mia,but at least you've got Joe."

"That's true. At least I'm not living on my own."

Before I know it,it's time for Joe to pick me up.

"I told Joe."

"What about you know...."

"Yes. I'll tell you if he says anything. I'll FaceTime you when I get home."

"Okay. I love you."

"I love you too."

We kiss each other,he opens the front door and waves us off.

"Bye Mia."

"Bye." I wave at him.

We slowly get to the end of his street. Joe makes it awkward by not taking to me. I think he doesn't know what to say to me.

"What do we do Joe?"

"I don't know Mia. Zoe's gone,Alfie's fuck knows where. I'm your uncle,I find it a bit strange to be looking after you."

"Your Joe Sugg. Your be great at looking after me." We both smile.

"I haven't heard a thing from Caspar."

"Why the fuck isn't he talking to you?"

"I don't know. Anyway,how was the film last night."

"It was great."

"Well I was in it." He smiles at me.

"I didn't realise." I say,laughing.

"Did you get any sleep?"

"A bit."

Nothing was for the rest of the wag home. When we get home I sit on the sofa and watch tv,when Joe comes up behind me.

"Mia."

"Your annoyed at me aren't you."

"Yes and no."

"What have I done?

"You had sex with him. You've been with him like a day."

"I know. But you don't need to be annoyed Joe."

"You showed him your arms,you most off. That's why I'm annoyed."

"I don't like showing people,you know that."

"Then why show him"

"I said I would,plus he was going too see them whatever."

"Mia,you said that you don't like showing people then you say tha-." I cut him off.

"FINE. DO YOU REALLY WANT TO SEE THEM?"

He says nothing. I roll up my sleeves.

"That's worse than mine."

"I know."

Joe starts to cry.

"Joe?"

He hugs me.

"Your mum,she didn't find someone,she died."
