An Unexpected Romance - Joe Sugg Fanfiction

Chapter 1

Me and my bestfriend Avia sit in the back of a taxi to go to a birthday party of some boy I've never even met but I had nothing better to do than to go to it. I pull down my dress a little bit, god I wish I never agreed to go, it always ends up me dragging a broken hearted, drunken Avia away from a party because she's gotten too drunk and then gets way too emotional over boys she's just met. Not that I mind, I'd rather save her from making a fool of herself.

We pull up outside a block of apartments and I climb out of the taxi while Avia pays the fare. We press a buzzer at the bottom of the apartments and wait til we get buzzed in.

"Who is it?" a male voice comes through the speaker, with muffled music in the background.

"It's Avia and Grace!" she says excitedly. Urgh I've always hated my name.

"Second floor on the left!" he answers. 

There was a buzzing sound and I push through the door and start heading up the stairs, holding onto Avia for support. We take 5 minutes getting up the stairs because of how high our heels are and we couldn't stop laughing.

Avia knocks on a door we got told to knock on. I fidget with my dress as we wait for someone to answer.

The door opens and I look up to see a someone who looks around my age with a blonde mass of hair piled on his head and sparkling blue eyes. He smiles at us and opens up the door, making enough space for us to pass through.

We make our way into the corner of the room and pick up two glasses of champagne located on a silver tray. I sip. Mmmmm.

Half way through the party Avia was talking to another bunch of girls while I stood next to her nodding and smiling, not really listening to what they are talking about when a shrill voice catches my attention. I move my focus onto a girl in a red tight fitting; short dress, blonde hair and heels so high it made her legs look miles long.

"What even is this shit music Joe? Fucking hell!" she screeches waving her arms about making her way to an Apple Mac laptop that has the music on.

"No-one would listen to this shit, even if it was the last song on earth" she says while searching for a different song.

"I like this song" someone says.

She turns towards me with a face full of disgust. Shit did I say that?

"Of course YOU would" she says looking me up and down. I fidget under her gaze, I hate people looking at me.

"Sarah be nice" the boy who opened the door to us earlier say uncomfortable, coming forward from the crowd that has now made it's way around me and this 'Sarah' girl.

"Why, is she your new slut Joe?" she says, her eyes averting to him, back to me, and then back to him. He looks dissaprovingly at her.

"How could you even say that" he says, making his way to her.

"Leave me the fuck alone" she screams in his face, walking at of the apartment.

He trades glances with another boy with blonde hair who is extremely tall and he just shrugs.

I get tapped on the shoulder and turn around to see Avia, her hand over her mouth. I immediately understand. I pull off my shoes while looking round for a toilet. She's gonna be sick!

I pull her downstairs because I couldn't see a toilet upstairs. I pull open the first door that comes into sight and luckily it's a toilet, so I push her forward towards the toilet, while I shut the door.

She heaves into the toilet while I take the bobble off my wrist and tie her hair up for her and fetch some toilet paper.

"Here" I hand her the toilet paper and she wipes her mouth.

A knock sounds at the door so I go open the door.

Joe turns and faces me, his eyes downward as he rubs the back of his neck.

"Um, I just want to say sorry for my girlfriend" he says as he looks up at me. My breathe catches. He's so beautiful.

"It's alright, it's not your fault" I say, shifting from one foot to the other.

"I didn't even get chance to ask your name" he says as he leans against the door frame, crossing his arms, his biceps popping.

"Grace" I extend my hand, smiling politely.

"It's nice to meet you, I'm Joe" he says, his smile genuine and friendly as he shakes my hand.

I hear a spewwing sound coming from behind me, and turn around to see Avia still throwing up, so I turn back to Joe.

"Is she okay?" he asks.

"Yeah she's fine, I just need to get her a taxi home" I say as I turn away from Joe, heading to go pick up my phone from the sink, and dial a taxi and order one.

"Grace how are you even gonna get home? You haven't even got your key and I can't have anyone sleep tonight as my house is getting decorated" Avia says as she lifts her head from the bog.

"I'll find somewhere to stay" I say looking down at her, leaning against the sink.

"You can stay here if you want" Joe says. I look up at him.

"Thanks but I don't want you getting in trouble with your girlfriend" I say with a small smile.

"Don't worry about her, if she asks I'll just say you stayed here with Caspar" he says, smiling back at me.

"Caspar?" I question, lifting an eyebrow completely confused.

"My roommate" he says smiling.

"I don't want to bother you" I say, turning around and washing my hands.

"It's no bother honestly".

"Oh okay, thanks" I say, turning back around, drying my hands on a towel on a radiator.

He smiles at me and walks off. I look back down at Avia, picking her up and help her to the sink so she can wash out her mouth.

I help her back up the stairs and out the apartment and into the taxi that is waiting for her outside.

"Make sure you call me before you go to sleep so I know your home safe!" I safe as I get her into the taxi. She nods and I close the door, making my way back upto the flat.

Well this is going to be a fun night!
