An Unexpected Romance - Joe Sugg Fanfiction

Chapter 8

I stare at my ceiling. I don't know how many hours I've been here but I can't even think, right now I'm focusing on the white patterns on my ceiling to try and clear my mind.

"Darling, will you please tell me what's wrong? You've been in your room for hours without a word" my mum says. I ignor her. She tries again.

"Darling you've not eaten anything, that's not like you. Please come downstairs".

I can't speak because if I do I'l break down and I'm too proud to admit that I've actually got upset over a boy. My mum sighs and walks out the room, shutting my bedroom door behind her. It's hard on her and my dad because I've never been like this before and they don't know what to do but right now I just want time to myself. A knock sounds at the door but I don't move.

"Grace" a gentle voice speaks. I turn my head. Avia!

"Oh Grace." she says as she notices my sorrow. She's the only person really in the world that I can truely talk to about anything. I break down into choked sobs and she instantly rushes over to me and cuddles me to her chest.

She strokes my hair as she shushes me. "Tell me what's wrong".

I calm down enough to speak. "Joe. Caspar. I've really fell for Joe but Joe said Caspar and him both really like me. I really like Joe and I've never felt this way, but I wouldn't break their bond over this and I definitely wouldn't hurt Caspar that way. He's been nothing but nice to me" I sniffle.

Avia chuckles. "Sounds like your in a bit of a kuffufle aren't you chick? Having two insanely hot boys like you at the same time and both wanna fight for you".

I look upto her with a frown and smack her arm gently. "It's not funny."

She shakes her head. "I know it's not, sorry. Why don't you just tell them both how you feel?"

"Because...I don't know" I say as what Avia's said filters through my mind. Why didn't I think of that? Well I guess that's what boy trouble does to you.

She smiles. "If Caspar truely likes you he will understand enough to let you be with Joe, if not then he will just move on anyway".

"Yeah I guess" I say, sitting up looking for my phone.

Avia hands me my phone from my bed side table. "Call Joe".

I stare at my phone and bite my lip. Do I?

Well anythings better than sitting here. I dial. Ring-ring.

"Grace? Are you okay?" Joe's worried voice comes through the phone.

"Yeah I'm fine" I say, wiping my nose on my sleeve.

He pauses. "Have you been crying?"

"Umm...yeah" I say. Well might as not lie.

"Who's made you cry?" his voice comes straight after mine, a little angry.

It makes me laugh at the irony. "You" I smile to myself.

"Me?" he asks, his voice a little smaller this time.

"Yeah" I say smiling to myself when I think of how he must look now.

"Grace. I'm sorry I told you how I felt, I know it was wrong...I didn't know it would make you upset" he says in a sad tone.

"No it's nothing like that. Look, listen. I'm coming round your place. Is Caspar there?" I ask.

"Uh yeah, he came home a few hours ago and we made up" he says.

"Okay. I'll be round soon" I say as I hang up.
