A YouTuber's Tale : Discontinued

Caspar P.O.V

Turns out I need to watch Notting hill considering what just happened. I'm surprised she didn't push me away when I kissed her back actually, just like the last time I lost control of myself because I was with her.

"This is a lovely garden Jade." I say, as she runs ahead of me to a bench out in the distance. "Where are you going?"

"Come here." She gestures, jogging off towards the bench. I run over to her, like we're kids running around a playing field, until I reach the bench she's sat on.

"For June who loved this garden. From Joseph, who always sat beside her." I read. "This is the bench in the movie?"

"Yeah." Jade answers, sitting down on it. "They say some people spend their entire lives together."

I sit down beside her, stroking the hair from her face that the wind seems to have blown across it. She looks up at me through her eyelashes.

"Seriously, how did you know that Notting hill was my favourite movie?" She asks me.

"Because it's also your sisters favourite movie." I laugh. "It's like I'm seeing both of you."

She laughs. "So, are me and you officially seeing each other?"

"I don't really know." I shrug. "I didn't know if you just wanted to be friends."

"Well." She says, placing her hand on my face. "I think today has changed that."

With that, her smile creates some sort of force that brings me to kiss her. When my lips touch hers, her fingers lacing through my hair, it's like there is no other care in the world.

Emily P.O.V

My case is fully packed to stay over at the hotel tonight, and it's not even noon. Why I've packed so early? I guess getting away from Joe for the night has motivated me to leave, because after what happened, I don't really want to have that talk about it.

I drag my case upstairs, placing it beside the door. Almost tripping over the rug, I walk over to the TV and collapse onto the couch, shortly before hearing a light knock at the front door.

"For god sake." I mutter, as I was just about to get comfy with cartoons. Crossing my fingers behind my back in the hope it isn't Joe, I swing the door open to spot Zoe and Alfie stood there with a large box in Alfie's hand.

"Hey Em!" Zoe greets, giving me a hug. "I haven't seen you in ages!"

"I know, great to see you guys. Come in." I motion, standing away from the door. I close it behind them, stopping the cold wind from entering the flat.

"Hey Alfie, I'm Emily." I greet, giving me a hug as he puts the big white taped up box next to my case.

"Nice to meet you. How am I supposed to tell you and Jade apart?" He asks.

"You can't." Zoe laughs. "I love your accent Em." She compliments.

"Thanks Zoe." I laugh, sitting on the opposite sofa to her and Alfie on the couch. "How have you both been? Do you want a drink or anything?"

"I'm alright." Alfie says.

"Yeah, me too." Zoe answers. "And yeah we've been great actually. YouTube is all going well. You excited for your meet and greet?"

"Yeah, but a bit nervous."

"Don't be." Alfie reassures me, pulling his phone from his pocket. "Do you happen to know what time Joe is back."

Hopefully never.

"Um, he's in a meeting but I'm not sure. It should be quite soon though, some time in the hour."

"Ok, I've just got a camera to give him and help him set up." Zoe explains. "We used it when we were little."

"Awh that's sweet." I say.

"I didn't know Caspar was out with Jade?" Alfie asks me, looking down at his phone and up at me.

"Did he text you?" I ask him.

"No, look." He says, passing Zoe the phone, and I get up looking over his shoulder.

Examining the photo on his phone, it's in a park somewhere, but I don't recognise it. I scan the photo, just like any other, until I spot the bench in the distance.

On the bench sits my sister and Caspar, Jade's arms around Caspar's neck, his hands resting on her jaw as he kisses her.

"Awh, that's cute." Zoe says. "It'a nice to see Jade is happy after the way you guys grew up."

"Yeah, it is." I smile, examining the photo. "Wait, Alf, scroll down." I say, and his finger swiped the screen to view the comment section.

"Is that Jade? With Caspar? OMG!!"

"Jade and Caspar!! ❤️❤️"

"Jade and Caspar I ship it!!!"

"#jemily!!!"

I scroll through some more, coming to the realisation that they've just been outed, and probably haven't even realised yet.

"Shit." I mumble to myself, pulling out my own phone. I dial my sisters number quickly, but she only picks her phone up on the fifth and final tone.

She speaks. "Hello?"

"Hey Jade. Um, have you checked twitter recently?" I ask.

"No, I can't here can I without a massive phone bill!" She laughs. "Why?"

"I'll explain when I see you. For now, you and Caspar need to come back here."

"Why?" She asks. "Em, what's happening."

"Just come back sis ok."

"We're on our way." She says rapidly, hanging the phone up.

I look back over at Zoe and Alfie who are flicking through even more photos of the pair, like a trail of never ending pictures. Kissing and hugging, the best date of my sisters life has just been publicised to the whole world.

"She isn't gonna be a happy girl." I tell them as there is another knock at the door.

"That's Joe." Alfie tells us, jumping up from the sofa and opening it. I hear his voice when the door opens, one that I've actually missed for some reason.

"Sup Alf." He greets walking in. "Heya Zoe, hi Jade."

I look up at him, and when his eyes randomly catch my face, he notices the catch.

"Oh sorry, Emily." He smiles, looking me up and down. I can sense the awkward in the air, orbiting around me and him like a bad smell.

"Joe, shall we set this up?" Alfie offers.

"Um yeah, lets go." He agrees, his eyes never leaving my face. I don't know if in his expression it's an apology, sympathy or plain awkwardness, but it's not nice.

Alfie picks up the box and Joe follows him down the stairs. I look over until both of their heads have disappeared out of sight.

"Ok." Zoe sighs, standing up and moving onto the same sofa I'm sat at. "What's really up with you and Joe?"

I looked confused. "What?"

"I knew it from the moment we walked in. Something's up."

"How did you know?" I ask.

"Well-" she says," just like you and Jade, I know when something is up with my sibling."
