Our Story (A Joe Sugg fanfic)

I Need to Tell You Something | chapter 6

Maddie's POV

We had been on a lot of rides so far and there was only one that we still hadn't gone to; the Ferris wheel. I've been begging Joe to go to it for quite a while but he always seems to banish the idea and no sooner, I would find myself on another ride. But this was it, I'm going on that Ferris wheel whether he likes it or not. The thought of him scared of heights has crossed my mind but I doubt it, a strong guy like him would not be scared of heights !

"JOE," I screamed over the sounds of people yelling and screaming.

"yes?" He answered.

"CAN WE GO TO THE FERRIS WHEEL PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!" I said whilst jumping up and down and tugging his arm like a little kid.

He sighed before mumbling a yes and I quickly pulled him over to the ride and stood in the line. The line wasn't long so we didn't need to wait a long time. While I was looking at my surroundings, I spotted a guy looking at me. Not the way that someone would when they're daydreaming, or glancing over. No, this was the kind of stare that freaks you out. I felt his eyes burning through me and taking note of everything that was happening to me. Joe must have noticed because he hugged me and I heard him whisper something in my ear.

"I got you, you're safe,"

I have no idea how he would know what i was thinking of, but I let it slip.

The line was very short and there was only 2 people ahead of us. I looked over at Joe and I noticed he was biting his lip. I had learned, through the few hours that I have spent with him, that he only bites his lips when he is nervous and right now, it looked like his lips were about to bleed.

"Whats wrong?" I asked Joe.

"Nothing, lets go. It's our turn now." I agreed, and we hopped into a small carriage.

The Ferris wheel was filled with different coloured lights and it all looked very beauiful as the sky gradually had gotten darker. The stars started to shine and I was feeling very excited. The Ferris wheel was very big and it probably fits more than 35 people. I have always wanted to have my first kiss on a ferris wheel. Yes, believe it or not, I am 21 years old and had never kissed a person before (on the lips). I am the kind of person that wants my first kiss to be with the person I love. Something i would hold onto forever.

"It's beautiful, isnt it?" I stated to Joe.

"It sure is. Maddie?"

"Yes?" I said as i turned around to face him. I had just noticed how small the carriage is but i decided not to mind it.

"I need to tell you something,"

"Okay..." I said, unsurely.

"I'm... I'm.. uhh.. umm scared," he said, as he was biting his lips. I noticed how scared he is and chose to encourage him.

"Everyone is afraid of something. You dont need to tell me, but i promise i wont judge." I stated, hoping I have encouraged him enough.

"Okay.. well, umm. imscaredofheightssoimterrifiedrightnow." Joe said in one breath. I was surprised how he pulled it off. He said it so quickly that I was not able to hear any more.

"I'm sorry, Joe. I did not get anything you said."

I watched as he took a deep breath and looked at me straight in the eyes.

"Alright, please don't laugh." He said, asking for confirmation.

"I wont, i promise."

"Okay," Joe said, taking another deep breath, still biting his lip, "I'm scared of height so im terrified right now."

Whoa, did he really just say he was scared of heights? I mean it did cross my mind but Joe? JOE FREAKING SUGG?! Apparently, he does and its so cute how he told me about it. Awwww. What do i do, though? I am not a very comforting person which might explain why I have only a few friends. Do i hug him? Or no, that would look weird, wouldnt it? Oh well, lets just get it over with.

I stepped a few feet forward and hugged him. He soon returned the hug and we stood there for a few seconds too long. I don't know why, but i felt safe in his arms. Like he is going to protect me from everyone and that i had nothing to worry about.

"What was that for?" Joe asked, curiousity written clearly on his face.

"I dont know, you just looked so cute. You know, you look so adorable when youre terrified. Plus, you needed to be comforted." I said, confidently.

"Remind me to get terrified more often," he said, laughing. I soon joined him and we both started laughing not realizing that the ride has ended.

Our relationship so far was very confusing for me; we acted like a couple and we were both comfortable with it. It was fun being comfortable and acting weirdly with other people.

We got out of the carriage and made our way towards the parking lot. I looked around, feeling a little self-concious. Then I spotted him, the person that was staring at me before the ride. I scooted a little into Joe's side. Joe didnt notice the guy which I guess was good.

"I'm gonna go pay the parking ticket, you wanna wait here?" Joe said.

"Uhh, yeah sure." I said unsurely.

"Okay, I'll be back in the blink of an eye!" He said, as he ran towards the machines.

I stood in my spot feeling as if I am being watched. I turned around, quickly skimming my view when the same boy that was staring at me before and after the ride started walking towards me. I quickly turned around and opened my phone. I find that when I am using my phone, I feel safer. I looked up and he was right there, staring at me. I had no idea who it was, but I did not feel safe.

"Hi, you must be Maddie," he said, in a thick italian accent.

"No, I believe you have the wrong person," I said, slightly shivering. I dont know why, but I didnt think that telling him who I am would be a good choice.

He stared into my eyes and I saw the determination in his eyes. I was going to turn around and start walking away when he suddenly grabbed my wrist and squeezed it so hard that I couldnt feel it anymore. I was terrified.

"JOE," I yelled, trying to get out of his grip. All I wanted to do is to be in Joe's safe arms, but he wasnt here. All I could do is hope. Hope that he would be able to come help me, hope that he had nothing to do with it, and hope that I'll be able to be safely put back in his arms.
