I woke up to a phone vibrating and just as I thought it was Conor's as no one actually ever calls me apart from the standard "you've had a car accident" call which honestly, I don't even own a bloody car so what the. "I swear you haven't stopped vibrating" I whispered in desperation for it to shut up before turning it off and rolling back into bed that I unpacked and made at 5am after all the shenanigans with the boys.

I was now woken up by loud banging on my front door and honestly everything was hazy and my brain was not functioning anymore. I got up and unlocked the door to reveal a stressed out Conor. I winced inside remembering that I had his phone and that he is probably about to shout at me like a mother who's child has just done something ridiculously dangerous.

"Gabbie, where the hell is my phone?!" I've never in my life have heard Conor's voice that high or loud. My shock showing through as my eyes were nearly filling up the whole forehead space and I felt like I was wide awake.
"It's right here" I clumsily ran to my room and unplugged his phone tripping on a few boxes on the way. " I have a meeting in about 20 minutes and I'm gonna be late" Conor's stress has suddenly stressed me out "I am so sorry Conor I forgot I had it" I could feel tears forming in my eyes which is not that unsurprising as I am really lacking sleep right now so my body is reacting weirdly. "I need to go" he rushed past me and slammed my flat door.

Oh god.

I decided to check my own phone which I haven't done since yesterday night. There was actually a few messages

Joe;
Hey, how's your new flat going? Can we have a coffee and talk?

Jack;
Is everything ok? You rushed off yesterday. x

Oh god.

I replied to Joe telling him to come over in a few hours and texted Jack back saying I'm all good. I went back to bed hoping I could get some sleep before Joe comes. I got woken up by a text.

Joe;
Be there in 30 min.

I decided to grab a quick shower and once I stepped out I pulled on a top and sweat pants as we were still staying at mine I didn't bother to do any make up or my hair. I was scrolling through my phone when the door bell went off and a Joe Sugg has appeared before me with a breakfast and a coffee.

"Favourites" his smile was already apologising and I knew exactly what was about to come. "Come in, its all still a mess..." right now I wasn't sure if I was talking about the unpacked mess or our relationship/friendship and I think Joe caught on. And award for the fastest time taken to make things awkward goes to me! I mentally rolled my eyes at my self and sudden realisation of how cringe I am hit me forcing me to make some weird faces I'm glad Joe couldn't see.

We talked about the basics before finally getting to the topic we both avoided yet needed to talk about.

"Can I talk first?" Joe unsurely questioned.
I nodded and sipped on the coffee indicating approval as I myself did not know what to say.

"I know you've probably seen my snapchats and probably figured out what happened and I know that you would never give me another chance because I have massively fucked up everything. I was jealous and didn't think of what I was doing and I do apologise for messing with your head because I have feelings for you and you mean a lot to me and it wasn't fair for me to do what I did if I wanted you to be my girlfriend and etc I understand that I have hurt you but please forgive me?"

I was staring at my new table rather than at Joe as I knew as soon as I will look at his eyes mine will start filling up with tears. "Jealous of what?" Is the only thing that I could think to say right now. Did I do something wrong?

"Well when you were at Olis and we FaceTimed you were alone with Jack and I thought that maybe he would try and talk to you"

"What Jack does, does not say what I am going to do Joe. You were angry and annoyed with him but at the end of the day hurt me." I felt a tear slip down my face and now that I finally looked at Joe there were tears on his.

"I forgive you but we can't just go back to where it was, I need my space to do what Is me and what is best for me and maybe along the way we will get back but not now, not yet."

We both stared blankly at each other till there were no tears in both of our eyes before Joe stood up and walked stopping next to me indicating to stand up. I collapsed into his body and whispered "you're still my best friend" to which he responded by hugging me tighter and whispering "always your best friend"
