Joeck one shots 💞

Back to you - Pt 2

• Conor's pov •

I had had enough of Jack being depressed, so I decided to do someone about. I suggested that all the boys came over for a little catch up session but I could tell my little brother was nervous. He was so nervous that he showered twice and sprayed everywhere and everything with disinfectant. I hadn't seen him this worried in along time and it was all to impress his ex - Mr. Joe Sugg.

"Conor! Do I look okay?" He came storming into the main room with his seventh outfit change of the evening. This time he had chosen a pastel pink hoodie, a plain white cap and white ripped jeans. To be honest, I thought there was a bit to much white going on but I had to stop him from worrying so I just said he looked good and checked my phone.

Oli - can't wait! I'm nrly there, just stuck in traffic

Caspar - I'm w Oli so I'm on the way! So excited! There better be pizza, I'm starving

Josh - I'm checking up on Joe then we're gonna set off, will be alittle bit later than expected but u know... need to be prepared

Mikey - just turning the corner! Be ready for LP to enter the building!

Shit... everyone was nearly there and I hadn't checked up on Jack to see how he was doing.

"Jack? Mikey's just turning the corner so time to come out and socialise!" I said as I entered his room. Jack stood up, checked his hair in the mirror and hugged me.
"Thank you so much Con. If it wasn't for you, I'd be drinking my weight in alcohol right now. You've really helped me and I appreciate it. Thank you."
It was nice to know I was helping Jack out of his dark point and back to the normal Randy we all love. It was my pleasure. I hugged him back and we both walked back into the main room.

As soon as we sat down, the doorbell rang - a lot, you could tell it was Mikey at the door.
I gestured for jack to go answer it but a worried look crossed his face.
"Just take a deep breath and gather yourself up, don't panic. Take your time." And with that, Jack stood up and confidently strode towards the door.

This was gonna be a night to remember.

•Jack's pov•

A mysterious wave of confidence passed through me as I found myself striding to the door. It was like my legs were in control as I was not ready to socialise yet, but my legs just kept on going.
I opened the door, ready to face the past.

"Hey Jack! Omg you don't know how much I've missed you! Come here!" Suddenly I was embraced in a famous Mikey pierce hug, it felt weird to be hearing his voice in real life and not just coming from my laptop. He squeezed all the air out of me but I managed to gasp a quick "stop please". Mikey quickly stopped and let go.
"Hi LP, nice to see you too." I welcomed him in and he sat down next to Conor.
I followed after him, regaining air as I went.

"So then, you gonna tell me why you climbed into a hole?" Wow, Mikey was straight to the point - no messing around with him! I looked down in thought but then I realised, there's no point in explaining my story every time someone new asked,
"I'm gonna wait until we're all here, no point repeating myself is there?" Mikey shook his head and grabbed for the snacks Conor had layer out. Classic Miley, always reaching for the food.

Suddenly a buzz came from my phone, it was Oli.

Oli - me and Casp are here! Make way for the boys! Can't wait to see you again Jack!

Shit, more people. My breathing intensified and I couldn't control it.
"Omg mate, are you ok?" Mikey asked. I nodded, grabbed a drink and ran off to my room. The past was catching up with me and I did not like it.

(Flashback)

Everyone came flooding in as they heard the door slam.
"What did you do?" Josh asked and tears poured down my face. In my mind, I was innocent - I hadn't done anything to hurt Joe. But the more I thought, the more I realised that I was never there for him.
"Answer me Jack! What did you do to make Joe leave?!"
I couldn't answer his question. Before I knew what was going on, Josh slapped me...

"I can't believe it Jack, you were everything to Joe but you blew it. I'm off to find him. You better think about what you've done." And with that, everyone left.
I was alone again.

(Flashback over)

I couldn't go through that again, my mind couldn't take it.
A knock at the door awoke me and I sighed.

"Hey, just to let you know that Oli and Caspar are here." Conor gave me a sympathetic smile and grabbed my hand, leading me to the main room.

"Omg! It's really Jack Maynard!" Oli screamed like a fan girl, he never failed to make me laugh. This was the first time in months that I'd been able to show my face to anyone and it felt good, I mean, the flashbacks were horrible but at least I had people there to protect me.

Oli and Caspar stood up and hugged me,
"We've missed you, Jack, we really have." Caspar said, this meant a lot and tears started forming in my eyes.
"Omg, Jack don't cry! We're together again - just like the muppets! We won't ever leave you again, no matter what."
We all sat down and ate pizza until Conor's phone went off - he left the room and started pacing down the corridor.

•Conor's pov•

"Hey Conor."
"You okay Josh?"
"Ye, me and Joe are just turning the corner, won't be long now"
"Just be careful what you say, Jack's still in a dark place right now."
"And Joe isn't?! He's the one who Jack hurt by not being there! Jack deserves whatever me and Joe have to say to him. He ruined Joe's life."
"You know what mate, just come see for yourself how much of a state my brother's in. Then we can talk. See you in a few."
"Ye we'll see, bye"

Maybe my idea wasn't so good after all. Josh was going to ruin Jack's life again and it was all my fault. I couldn't help but feel sorry for Joe, he was being controlled by this ginger prick and there was nothing he could do but stand and watch. I just needed to figure out a plan to bring Joeck together again and make everyone happy.
It wasn't that simple though.
