Joes POV
My heavy eyes flickered as I woke to bright lights shining in my eyes.
I moved but noticed there was something on my hand. Someone.
Alex.
I moved away and saw Zoe come running in.
"Joe!" She screamed hugging me.
Alexis woke up with bed head.
"What... what happened to me?" I said looking at all the wires that were attached to me.
Instinatly I was petrified.
Zoe glared at Alex not focusing on my questions.
"Zoe? Alex?" They both turned to me.
"What's happened to me?"
Zoe moved round to the opposite side to Alexis.
She looked at me with concern.
"Joe, you were beaten up..."
What.
"By who!"
"We don't know" Alex said.
Zoe once again turned to her,
"you need to leave, he doesn't want you here and neither do I"
"But..."
"But nothing, just leave"
I looked at Zoe shocked as Alex grabbed her stuff and left slowly.
Zoe broke down right next to me and I held her.
"I thought you were never going to wake up..." she cried into my bed sheets.
"Zo, I'm fine" I said patting her head gently.
She looked up and stared at my face for a while.
"You are the only one who I have left now, Joe"
I reached out for her hand and smiled.
After an hour or so I closed my eyes and somebody walked in the room.
I kept my eyes closed hoping it wouldn't be the police that have come to interview me.
I heard Zoe say something like 'he's just gone to sleep, you might have to catch him later"
That sounds like the police...
Zoe knew i was pretending and 'woke' me up.
"They want you to do your statement today..."
I shook my head, "my statement will be useless to them"
"Why?"
"I saw nothing, I only know that... that... Alex"
Zoe's face turned red.
Alexis was the one who came to my house before, maybe she got mad and didn't mean it.
Or just maybe, just maybe, she wanted me dead...
"I'll get her, I'll get her!"
I pulled Zoe's arm, "no"
"Yes" she pulled away.
"We don't even know if it's her!"
"I'm certain, Joe" she stormed out leaving me in a reckless position.
I bit my lip and squeezed onto the bed table to get up, a beeping sound went off.
Quickly I hurdled off and hopped through the doors.
So much pain took over me, but I had to go after Zoe.
Mum and dad were sitting down not paying attention to me, that was good.
Nurses and doctors all ran towards me.
"Joesph?!" One yelled.
"Mr Sugg, please"
I ignored them and still went after Zoe.
I heard a lot of footsteps ruining up the stairs.
"We need to get there, now!" I heard a familiar voice.
The door flooded with shirtless guys.
It was the guys.
I sighed in relief and collapsed onto the floor.
"Joe!" Everyone ran to me and then everything was a blur.
"Nurse!"
...
I woke up once again in my bed, but this time Caspar and Jim were sitting in chairs at my side.
I smiled, grateful for my friends.
Jim noticed I was awake and woke Caspar.
"You alright mate? You gave us a shock back there" he laughed slightly.
"Sorry..." my voice croaked.
"How are you buddy?" Caspar smiled.
I looked around me, at all the wires and monitors I was connected to.
"Good" a tear swelled up my eyes, I quickly shut them.
"It's okay to cry Joe, just let it all out, we are your best friends..."
I nodded.
"How many people can be in here at once?"
"Usually it's two when your unconscious or asleep, but they told us we can have two sitting and three standing"
"Oh, okay"
I let tears trickle down my face showing no emotion while they did so.
"Alfie broke up with Zoe..."
Caspar put his hand over his mouth.
"What?" Jim squinted his eyes.
"Yeah-" I was interrupted by a knock at the door.
"It's Tanya" Jim wavered for her to come in.
"She is okay to come in right?" He whispered.
"Yeah" I smiled.
"Oh god Joe, look at you" she nearly reared up her self.
She leaned over Jim and hugged me.
I smiled and breathed in her honey and lemon scent.
"Did you know Zo and Alf had--"
"Broken up? Yeah..."
"Why did you tell me?"
Tanya bit her nail.
"Guys, come on" Caspar nodded at me.
They both smiled at me.
"And Alfie's excuse was... he's in love with his best friend"
"Who's his best friend?"
I said nothing, but Caspar already knew.
Jim and Tanya looked so confused.
"Alex..." Caspar said for me.
"Why would that bother you?" Jim crossed his arms.
"Can't you see? He's bloody in love with her!" Caspar emphasis love.
"W-wait? What?" Tanya said shocked, but smiled.
"Joe... I'm so sorry" she said, sympathy smothered all over her face.
"But, how do you know, for certain, it's Alex?"
"Because Zoe assumed that it was Alexis..."
"So Alfie didn't tell her a name?"
"No..."
This made me overthink so much...
"Zoe..."
They all looked at eachother.
"She going to lash out at Alex right now! I need to go" I started to move.
They all pushed my back onto the bed gently.
"Please please!" I said struggling.
Wait. I've got an idea.
"Get me in that wheelchair!" I said pointing to the bottom of my bed.
They all lifted me onto it and Jim, Casp, Tanya and I were all speeding down the corridors.
"Go go go!" I screamed we all ran into the lift. And then I realised we needed to get past security to get out.
"Put me in your car!" I said to Jim.
"Joe..."
"Now!"
They had never seen this side to me, and really neither had I.
"Please..." I cried.
I was weaker than ever, Jim chucked a jacket me to go over the hospital clothes.
"Where are we even going?" Jim reversed out of his parking space.
I had to think while Caspar helped me with my Jacket.
"Marcus' house"
"Got it!" We pulled out of the car park and past security and sped down the road.
"I don't want Zoe to do anything stupid, especially spread my secret while Marcus is there..."
