The Other Sugg (COMPLETED)

11

"Zoe, I'm telling you, the boy hates me. Like full on hates me." I sighed as I stirred my morning tea.

"I'm sure he doesn't hate you. Maybe he was just having a bad day." There she goes. That's the thing with Zoe, she always saw the good in people. I however....

"He threatened me! Kept telling me to stay away from Brad and that I was a whore and stuff like yes, I fucked up and slept with Maynard but still! Oli broke up with me and-" I quickly shut my mouth and silently cursed to myself.

"Woah! Wait.... You were dating Oli... as in Oliver White.... Joe's best friend?" I sighed and slightly cringed as she spoke.

"I wouldn't say best mate... I mean that's Caspar..." I trailed out and she made a huff noise on the other end of the phone as I grabbed the cereal from the shelf. Yes, I'm having cereal for dinner, don't judge me.

"Loey." I rolled my eyes at her. She sounded so much like Mum when she said my name like that.

"Yes, Oli White. Besides, it wasn't like we planned it or anything. He actually ended it because of how Joe would be if he knew so in all fairness we ended it so neither of us hurt Joseph." I tried to explain as I grabbed the milk out of my fridge and tried to find a spoon. Zoe just sighed at the other end of the phone at her pathetic excuse of a sister.

"Why is it that you can date Alfie, who was friends with Joe first but I can't date anyone Joe remotely knows?..." I trail off, finally voicing the question that keeps replaying in my head. I hear my older sister sigh again before she finally breaks the silence.

"Cause it's Alfie. No one wants him." I roll my eyes at her joke before hearing Alfie shout 'I heard that' in background and Zoe laughs at him.

"Zooooooeeee..." I draw out her name like the pouting little sister I am at the moment and Zoe stops laughing.

"Loe... look Joe knows Alf is a good guy and trusts him, that's why he's okay with it. Jack is a good friend but bad when it comes to girls and Joe was just trying to protect you. As for Oli well... I think he's just worried about ruining things between you and Joe if something had happened. And I know Brad is a great guy from what I can tell and that he's really smitten with you. Just talk to Joe, okay? You two were always close growing up, I'm sure you'll get past this too." I sigh at my sister's words. Ever the wise one, that girl is. I'm close to both my siblings but Joe and I were always closer in the sense that we have similar personalities. Zoe was the one I always went to for advice though as she's got 4 years on me and usually has already been through what I'm currently going through at that moment.

After getting off the phone with Zoe, I send Joe a text that reads 'we should talk...' and he replies back not long after. We set up a lunch 'meeting' of sorts for tomorrow to hopefully blow over this argument we're having over Jack.

Hopefully...

*The Next Day*
After having to give myself a pep talk, I enter the cafe my brother and I agreed to meet at. Even though we technically live in the same building, we do have busy lives. He was apparently over in Brighton for two days, visiting Zoe and Alfie.

Immediately, I spot Joe in the corner and noticed he looks quite sad. I quietly make my way over just as he looks up to see me.

"Uh... hi..." I awkwardly greet him before sitting down.

"Hey..." He greets back just as awkwardly. I take a deep breath and begin the apology I had to mentally prepare myself for before coming here.

"Listen, you don't know how truly sorry I am about what happened with Jack-" I don't get to finish though as Joe cuts me off to have another go at me.

"I warned you not to get involved with him but you didn't listen and the worst of it all, you were dating Oli behind my back! You bounced from Oli to Brad to Jack all within two days! Only whores and girls with no self respect do that!" I feel tears starting to form but I try to hold them back.

"Do you not know any guys that aren't my friends that you could screw over?! Do you ever think about anyone else but yourself?!" I glare at him as I feel the first year fall.

"You don't mind Zoe dating Alfie but I can't even look at one of your friends without being judged or told off by you! And for your information, I never had sex with Oli! The whole year we were together, not once did we take it that level in the relationship! But you know what thanks to you and your friendship with Oli, I lost a great guy who also happened to be one of my best friends! I don't even speak to Oli anymore! But you know what you can keep your judgemental arse away from me if all you're gonna do is called me a whore over and over!" With that, I stand up from my seat and run out of the cafe.

There was only one person I could call at a time like this when I need proper good advice or shoulder to cry on.

James.

I quickly dial his phone number and he eventually picks up on the third ring.

"Hey, what's up?" I sniffle a little to keep from crying, why makes his voice do a 180° from happy to worried.

"Loey?"

"Joe's an arse of a brother..."I trail off.

"Listen, Joe is just feeling betrayed. He literally just found out you were dating Oli behind his back. How long were you with Oli anyway?"

"A year..."

"Oh..."

"Yeah..."

"So what are you gonna do?"

"Well I don't know, to be honest, cause I don't want to be around him right now.

"Come over here and stay with Jadley then, we'll promise you a good time." I could hear him smiling over the phone as a smile forms on my face.

I ended up staying with Brad and James in their hotel room that night, wanting to be as far away from my brother as possible.
