" You're my favourite entertainer " I heard Jack from in the bathroom . " Is that so ?" I answered back sarcastically getting up from the bed and towards the bathroom leaning against the door frame.  Jack smirked with toothpaste around his face which was adorable. From what I could tell last night was the best night I ever had. Yet where does it leave us? I pushed the thought out of my mind as I watched Jack get ready for the day ahead of us. I told Jack that I had left my stuff at Joe's house because I didn't know that I would end up here, to which Jack laughed and said it was fine for me to go back.

Joe's POV:

I got back to London not wanting to be whining around anymore especially in the Zalfie house hold any longer than I already did. I needed space so that's what I need. By the time I got back to London it easier than I thought and back to work was easier than I thought, however, she was still in the back of my mind, like all of the time i just couldn't stop. 

I opened my front door with bags in one hand, as I came through I saw that the living room was fairly tidy apart from a few bags which I assumed wasn't mine. I called out for Byron but who would be home at this time of an hour. I looked around seeing where Moxie would be sitting smiling and laughing at me for silly things that I do for the vlogs. She was on my mind a lot recently hoping she would turn up here but I knew he wouldn't. As I finally found out she had left a few days ago, it  broken me more than I was ready was.

I gravitated to something that would numb the pain , a bottle of beer not just one but a couple. Reaching for another one , I heard the front door click assuming it was Byron. I placed my lips to the bottle downing it faster than I should normally should, turning my attention to my phone I decided to place some music not bothering whether whoever walked in would be pissed off or not.

Cruel by Zayn was my first choice of the song even though there was two that I wanted to play. I didn't tend to play him as a artist but what was happening in my life right now the song would fit how I was feeling right now " It's such a cruel world saving my love for you " I sang at the top of my voice with a  drink in hand still as I didn't place it down the first time. As soon as I turned that's when I saw her beautiful face. The song changes which made the moment special

"Baby let me be your man so I can love you. And if you let me be your man then I'll can take care you for the rest of my life ". I sang looking into her brown eyes. She was smiling at me but frowned almost straight after.

Moxie's pov:

I turned up to Joe's front door to hear very loud music. As I opened the door I saw the man I once loved dancing very drunkenly to  Zayn. I couldn't help but laugh walking closer to him. I stood there until the next song had changed, by the time it did, he had turned around and saw me standing there smiling for some odd reason. " let me be your man so I can love you. And if you let me be your man then I'll take care of you , for the rest of my life" I heard him sang. My smile faded almost straight away as he stopped singing leaving us standing looking at each other.

"You're drunk Joe " I said wanting to touch him.

"You left me " Joe whispered still very drunk

I didn't want to tell him that it wasn't me who had left but he was right overall I had left him to come back to see Jack. Both me and Joe walked closer to each other but stopped near enough for us to touch each other.

" Joe we can't do this " placing my hand on his cheek. Joe purred to the touch knowing that he just needed me here. Green eyes meeting brown ones.

"Your pr... pregnant stay here " Joe cried falling onto his knees and placing his hands on my stomach. And that's when I lost it. I looked down to see the man who I told I was pregnant, yet I wasn't, it was all an act

Joe's POV:

" You're drunk Joe " I heard her say to me

" You left me " I whispered to her making her feel somewhat bad.

I let my feet do the work as we both walked closer to each other near enough for us to touch. I needed her so much it physically hurt.

"Joe we can't do this" she spoke placing her hand on my cheek , I leaned into her touch purring like a cat.

" Your pr... pregnant stay here " I slurred now falling onto my knees. I remember when she first told me and when she joked about it the time before that. I placed my hands on her stomach looking up to see her brown eyes filled with tears.

End of Joe's pov

We both stood like this for a while not wanting to break the moment. Joe pick up the courage to stand up and look right at me , I began to say " I need to go " not looking at him anymore. Joe sighed as I picked up my bags heading to the front door.

" I LOVE YOU !" I heard him say for the last time closing the door behind me letting the tears fall down my face.


Thinking 'bout you lots lately

Have you been eating breakfast alone like me?
Thinking 'bout you lots lately
Or are you moving along?
Thinking 'bout you lots lately
Have you been feeling empty beds just like me?
Thinking 'bout you lots lately
Or are you moving along?

Scared of moving on, but you're already gone
So if you're moving on
Are you moving along?


Later that evening

" Jack stop !" I screamed as he placed whipped cream on my nose

" Jack stop !" I screamed as he placed whipped cream on my nose.  After what happened between me and Joe , I need to get out and have some fun with Jack.  " Looking gorgeous babe " he said looking me up and down. I had picked a tracksuit set for comfort but at the same time it I made it more dressy. As he continued to look me up and down I took the opportunity to place some whip cream on his nose " keep your eyes on your drink" I smirked. Jack ignored the comment contuining to drink the rest of his milkshake.

 I decided it was time to go home , nobody was around and it was pretty much late

I decided it was time to go home , nobody was around and it was pretty much late. Jack agreed that it was getting and the fact he was bored anyways. "I think I'm going to be sick " I told Jack as I covered my mouth with my hand as sick was coming out.I did this about 5 times till we got home it must of been something I drank or eaten I wonder.

We eventually arrived home , Jack placed me in bed and left telling me that he would want me to get some rest without him moving around in bed, which I was totally fine with after all he did move a lot.

What both if them don't know that , this was all an act

I took of my fake baby bump , gathering my thoughts as I lay in the bathtub for the rest of the night.
