It's All About You ⌘ Joe Sugg ✓

Chapter 40

Eila's POV

"I can't believe Zoe walked in on you... That's gold!" Alfie says in between bursts of his signature cackle. He is grinning at us both toothily and I wouldn't be surprised if my cheeks are fiery right now.

Joe and I decided to postpone our activities for later seeing as the mood was so ruined, and now we're down in the hotel lobby with Laura, Caspar, Alfie and Zoe. We're all dressed in our festival outfits - mine is a bright, neon pink skater skirt, a crop top with 'Nirvana' written across it and white converse. Joe looks super cute with a red bandana, grey singlet and black skinny jeans. Caspar is sporting some rather interesting marmite pants...

"Well lets not stand around all day, we should get going. Everyone will be wai-" Zoe says cheerily, however she is interupted by Alfie before she can finish her sentence. Alfie nods discretely in my direction and Zoe shuts up, a smirk on her face. I don't have time to wander what that's about before Joe is tugging me out the door towards our shuttle bus.

Everyone piles in the little van - somehow I end up in a tight sandwhich between Laura and Joe, and I glance over at the quiet girl to my right. She looks pretty in a careless way, her face bare of any makeup and black jeans in tatters. She would look ten times more beautiful if she smiled a little bit - at the moment her mouth is a straight line, her eyebrows pointed downwards in a sullen expresion. I have kind of gotten to know her a bit better these past two weeks, and she is usually being sarcastic and noisy, and when she's around Caspar she is often smiling.

I can't help but worry about her despite the apparently thick skin she has. Even the strongest people can be weak sometimes - all it takes is someone or something to hurt you terribly. Laura is not the kind of person who opens up about her feelings, so I leave her be for the rest of the trip.

When we arrive at the festival location, I swear to god I can feel the ground vibrating beneath my feet from all the bass. Everywhere I look there are people - people in tents, people wearing fluro, people dancing, people talking - the place is packed. In the far distance I can see a huge stage where various artists will be performing tomorrow night. At the moment there is only a DJ up there, however there are still quite a few people dancing.

It's lunch time at the moment, and Joe told me that he has special access to a Nandos tent - something which made me feel instantly happy. Joe leads me and the rest of our group to the tent which is pitched a small distance away. I can already smell the rich aroma of chicken and peri peri sauce.

We all enter the tent with our stomachs growling and mouths watering - however something in the tent makes me forget about food completely.

"Eila!" Dan and Phil walk over to us and awkwardly raise their hand like the adorable, socially incompetent geeks they are. I am so happy to see them both that I forget about social boundaries and pull them both into a hug.

"I didn't know you guys were coming!" I pull away from them both and look back at Zoe who is giggling into Alfies shirt. I mentally fangirl about Zalfie and then poke my tongue out at her.

"Neither did we until last minute - Joe and Caspar invited us." Says Phil, his eyes flicking back and forth between me and Dan, who is smiling at me. He glances behind him and I follow his gaze until I spot Marcus and Niomi approaching us. I grin even wider and move forward to give them a big hug. Dan, Phil, Niomi and Marcus then all move around the group saying hi to everybody. Joe pulls me out of the commotion towards him, where he is holding a plate with my favourite Nandos food piled on. I grin, kiss him on the cheek and proceed to start shovelling my face - It's really the only thing you can do when you're faced with such delicious chicken.

While we all eat lunch we start chatting about Youtube. I can finally partake in this conversation now that I'm a fortified youtuber - shockingly my subcriber count has grown to 700k in the past week since Joe and I announced our relationship. I never thought that all that hate would amass to such a positive growth, and all of my friends are now congratulating me.
