Our Story (A Joe Sugg fanfic)

You Used to Cut? | chapter 10

Maddie's POV

"Do youthink she's okay?" I heard someone ask that sounded like Zoe.

"I cant believe this. It was all my fault! This would not have happened if I didnt ask her to come live with us," that was definately Joe.

"Look, Joe, you did a good thing. Stop blaming yourself!"

"Right I might have just gotten her killed and I 'did a good thing,'"

"JOE CALM DOWN. If it wasnt for us, she could have been been harrased or whatever in a hotel. No one to take care if her!" Zoe said, in an effort to comfort Joe.

"Fine. Can you tell me what you saw again?"

"Joe, I've told you a billion times."

"Please?" Joe pleaded.

Zoe sighed then replied, "I entered the house and I heard a huge thud. It sounded like someone being pushed on to a wall. I also heard some shuffling upstairs so I went up the stairs. I searched through the rooms and when I entered Maddie's room, it was all black. The lights were turned off. So I opened the lights and she was laying on the ground, unconcious. I didnt know who it was, but I saw a figure running away from the window. After I saw Maddie's condition, I called a doctor straight away. They came and checked her and they said she would wake up soon. Then I called you and you came," Zoe said. I was surprised, was I actually knocked out? and more importantly,  who was it?

I tried to open my eyes but that didnt work, it required too much energy. I tried to speak, I tried anything to give them a sign that im awake. Nothing happened.  After a couple minutes I tried again, my arm twitched slightly but nothing more.

"Did you see that?!" Joe asked Zoe. "Her hand moved!"

"Joe youre turning crazy, nothing moved she is still unconcious."

I tried again, I need to wake up.

My hand moved more this time. I tried opening my eyes but it only half worked. I could see Zoe and Joe, both their backs were turned to me. So they cant see me.

I tried to speak but it only came out as a whisper. At least it was loud enough for Joe to hear it.

"Zoe, I swear I just heard her speak," Joe said.

"Youre starting to imagine things, Joe."

I spoke again now, but louder.

"Joe," I said because that was the only thing that popped into my mind.

I watched as Joe turned around. He came running towards me.

" MADDS? MADDIE? Are you alright?" He said, obviously worried.

"Yeah," I said normally now, though I still feel very tired.

Joe kneeled down and hugged me and I felt the same feeling I felt one day ago; safety. I hugged him back cautiosly before he pulled back. Zoe came in and hugged me too.

This felt nice. Knowing that someone cares about you is a nice feeling, I didnt experience that before causing my attempts to commit suicide.

"Thank you," I told them. They looked confused and shared a glance.

"For what?" Joe asked.

"For including me in everything. For caring,"

"No problem, youre part of our family!" Zoe said. I felt relieved.

My parents were not aweful, in fact, theyre really nice. But theyre not the kind that you would go dumping your whole story to. Theyre too nice and fragile.

"Come on, yoy should get some rest," Joe told me.

"Yeah as if the whole time I was unconscious,  I didnt get enough rest. Seriously, im not tired," I told them with a hint of sarcasm.

They both laughed lightly and then we fell in an awkward silence. There wasnt really anything to say and it looked like they knew I didnt want to talk about this incident.

We stared at each other for a while longer before Joe decided to leave.

As Joe exited the room, Zoe turned serious.

"Maddie, you used to cut?" She asked.
