Miles Away ( Joe Sugg/ Thatcher Joe)

" Marley I swear to fucking god," He paused and looked at me, a look I never wanted to see." If you don't get your fucking slutty ass over here.." I could feel his stare on my back as I went to exit my room. " What are you going to do? I told you I'm fucking done... I just can't do this anymore.. I-" I was suddenly pulled back by two hands and thrown to the ground." DON'T YOU EVER FUCKING SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT ITS NOT DONE TILL I SAY IT IS.." I attemped to cover my face as he began to throw punches." ppp-ll-ee-a-sss-ee.." I couldn't get my words out an overwhelming pain erupted through my entire body." I swear to fucking god.. Talk to me like again and you're dead."  and with that he abruptly left the room slamming the door in his rage. I cried for what seemed like hours.. I had to get away.

My life used to be actually be good. I had a boyfriend who actually treated me right. My friends were amazing and my family couldn't be happier. But like they say all good things come to an end right? My parents got a divorce and moved away and since I just turned ninteen they though I could "handle" myself. I decided I would move in with my boyfriend of a year Matt. I met him when I was 18 and just getting out of school. I moved to the states when I was 16 leaving behind so many friends, I was devastated. But then I met Matt and I guess you could say I fell for him. I fell for the hold him at least. When I moved in with Matt he began to look at my different. He drank his life away and most of our fights left me beaten and bruised. After our last fight I decided I was to move back to the UK and live with my cousin Alfie. 

                I quickly picked up my phone dialing the first number that came to mind. I tried to keep my sobs under control but I just couldn't bear the pain." Ello??" a perky voice answered. I began to sob quietly trying to get my breathing under control. The line went dead silent and I could hear the pain in his voice as he spoke.." Marley baby girl.. What did he do this time?" I could just imagine him clenching his jaw and his hands balled into fists. I continued to try and speak but nothing came out only the sound of my lungs desperatley trying to get some air." Baby girl calm down.. Please you're scaring me." I could feel the hot tears run down my cheeks as he began to smoke. Alfie and I had always been close, I was an only child and when I lived in the UK we used to hang out almost every single day. He cared so much about me and I knew him listening to me cry would kill me." Alfie.." I breathed out into a quiet whisper.." Yes, I'm right here whats wrong??" I could hear the worry in his voice increasing by every second.." I need to get out of here.. he's going to kill me one of these times." I began to sob quietly re playing the scenario in my head. I looked down and my now white blouse was covered in blood. The line went dead silent once again." I'm buying you a plane ticket.. pack your bags and hop on the next flight and get over here." and with that my life changed forever.

Marley's POV-

The smell of bacon filled my noustrils as I sat up abruptly in my bed from yet another nightmare.  Some times I forgot I didn't live in my crammed apartment with Matt anymore so I quickly scanned the room searching for him. I let out a sigh of relief when I realized where I was, Alfies. I got up and quickly threw my long brown hair into a messy bun. I looked at my self in the mirror and realized my black eye wasn't get any better and I had been here for already two weeks. I opened the door and peaked my head around the corner scared of who I was going to see. I was glad to see it was just Alfie.

" Hey Elf," I smirked as I walked around the corner watching him juggling the eggs,bacon, and toast.

" Rise and shine sleeping beauty," Alfie kept smiling until his eyes reached my eye. He just sighed and looked down, pain clearly visible in his eyes.

I frowned and quickly looked down embaressed. How could I ever be so stupid and give a dumbass so many chances after he continued to smirk. I looked up at Alfie and flashed him a shy smile.

" Good news! " Alife exclaimed staring into my hazel eyes. I smirked and just looked at him nodding so he could go on.

" Zoe's coming over today and Joe, we're all going to lunch." I nodded. I hadn't seen Zoe in forever. Last time I had her and Alfie came to visit me in the states. I used to be quiet close with the Suggs but we all drifted apart when I moved. 

" Joe too, really?" I smiled. We used to be close. Bestfriends actually. But when I moved and he got a girlfriend we didn't keep in touch. He was adorable in the beginning but then turned into a complete ass before I left. I shrugged the thought off and smiled at Alfie again.

" Yes and they'll be here any minute so go get dressed..." I began to walk away but Alfie grabbed my wrist and pulled me into a tight hug." Listen, you look beautiful with or without a black eyes.. Don't think other wise." He kissed my forehead and pushed me towards my room.

I stumbled into the room and looked through all my clothes. I wasn't in the mood to try or look at all decent because what was the point? I sighed and pulled my sleeve up revealing many cuts reaching up to my shoulder." Well, there goes my chances off wearing a tanktop.." I sighed and continued to dig through my suitcase until I found the perfect outfit. I tossed on my black long sleeve shirt with some simple jeans and some vans. I fixed my messy bun up and sighed lookng at my black eye in the mirror. It was sure to draw a lot of attention.

I heard the bell ding and I quickly tried to cover the blackness around my eye but I realized nothing would do, there was no point. I felt hot tears fill my eyes and I quickly wiped it away with my hand.

" MAR, there here." Alfie. I knew he would be in a good mood, well he always was when Zoe was here. It was about time they started dating. They would always rough each other up and yell with their little british accents. 

I took one big sigh and practiced my fake smile in the mirror." Here we go I thought to myself." I stumbeld out my door to only be greated with gasps and stares from Joe and Zoe. I mean they knew about my problems with Matt but they never really knew. Or at least that he beat me senseless. 

" Mar...." I looked up to Joe looking at me with sadness in his eyes. I stared into his eyes for what seemed like hours and it suddenly hit me. I needed him, I needed my best friend again. Joe suddenly engulfed me in his strong arm. I could smell his after shave and it brought tears to my eyes. I began to sob quietly into his arm while Alfie and Zoe watched in silence, pain in their eyes aswell.

" Shhh, I'm here now.. You're okay Mar. I got you." Joe kept whispering into my ear. I felt my stomache drop and I shyly smiled at him. I felt butterflies...
