Safe In Your Arms (Joe Sugg/ThatcherJoe fanfiction)

Chapter 8 - Fights

I enter the restaurant and scan it try and find my dad. I spot in in the corner of the room sitting at a table. I walk over and when he sees me he gets up and hugs me "Hey dad!" I say cheerily "Hey Katie-Kat!" We sat back at the table. We both look over the menus and dad asks "What you gonna have Kate?" "Oh, umm... I think I'll just have a salad" "Hunny, Joe told me what the doctor said" I looked down at the table "I don't want to talk about it dad" I can feel tears starting to form in my eyes. "Kate I think you should come home with me tomorrow" I dart my eyes to my dad, he looks devastated "Dad I.." "Please Katie" I want to stay in London but I cannot hurt my dad, I hesitate "Okay dad" He gives me a little smile and I smile back.

The whole dinner is spent mostly in silence, I didn't want to leave London, I didn't want to leave Joe... Once we left the restaurant dad walked me to the hotel. We hugged goodnight "I love you Katie, I'll see you in the morning. Good night" "Love you too dad, good night." I got in the lift and remember earlier tonight. I was so happy being with Joe but now we were gonna be separated by exactly 544.9 miles. When the lift stopped on my floor I ran to the room, unlocked the door then I closed the door a lay with my back against it and I cried. I cried because Ericka and I's trip was being cut short and it was all my fault! I cried because I had to leave Joe behind and that was my fault. I cried because I knew I was sick. The doctor was right, I had done this to myself and now I had ruined everything. I cried straight for at least an hour, after I had dehydrated myself with crying I got up from the floor and grabbed a drink. I looked at my phone to check the time. 10.23. I also had 4 missed calls from Joe, 2 from Ericka and 7 texts from each of them. I unlocked my phone and searched for Joe's name. Ring, ring, ring. "KAT! Where the hell have you been!" "I was out and-" "You had Ericka and I worried sick!" he was angry which just made me angry, "I'm sorry Joe, but you knew I was out!" "I didn't think you'd be out that long Kat!" "I'm 18 Joe! I can stay out as long as I want!" then I hung up the phone and I threw it at Ericka's bed. I screamed and started punching a pillow. Once I had took all my anger out on the pillow I lay down because I was exhausted, then I cried myself to sleep.

4am in the morning

I had been woken up by 'Good girls' by 5sos started playing. I knew that was Ericka's ring tone so I didn't move. Then 'Thinking Out Loud' by Ed Sheeran started playing and I knew it was Joe, I didn't move. After about half and hour my phone rang again, this time it wasn't playing any music. I got off of the bed and grabbed my phone from where I threw it last night, I looked at the screen. Dad. I quickly answered, "Kate, where are you!" "I'm at my hotel, why?" I could tell he was in the car because I was on speaker phone. "Ericka is worried sick about you Katie! Why haven't you picked up your phone?" He was angry, why was he angry? "I was sleeping!" "We will be at the hotel in 2 minutes" He hung up. Who was we? Him and Ericka? I went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. I looked awful. My mascara had ran down my face and I looked a mess. I hadn't even changed out of my dress. Then there was pounding on the door. I walked to the door and opened it. Dad, Ericka and Joe stood in the doorway. Ericka hugged me "I thought something happened to you!" I push her away a walk to my bed, I sit on the edge and put my head in my hands. Dad kneels down next to me, "I'm sorry Kate, I'm so sorry sweetie!" I fell to the ground and he scooped me up in his arms like he use to do when I was a kid. I started crying into his shoulder, "I love you dad! I'm so sorry for scaring you, I love you so much!" I clung onto his neck then he sat me on the bed, "Kate I love you so much" I looked at him, he was crying, the last time I saw my dad cry was when my granddad died. I hugged him tight. I turned to look for Erick.  "Ericka, I'm sorry!" I walked to her bed and sat with her. "It's okay Kate" she hugged me and after she let go I looked for Joe. He was now sitting on the edge of my bed with his head in his hands. "I'm gonna go get some drinks from downstairs, we all need to talk. Ericka give me a hand?" Ericka nodded and followed my dad out the room.

I made my way back to the edge of my bed next to Joe. "Hey" he didn't say anything "Joe I'm s-" "Don't tell me you're sorry!" he stood up and placed both his hands on top of his head. "Joe-" "Save it" this made my mind up for me, I didn't want to go home and leave Joe but he doesn't want me. "We're done" I muttered "What?" Now Joe was looking at me, I looked up into his eyes. He'd been crying, a lot. I stood up and kept looking at him. I couldn't do it, I couldn't loose him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and held onto him tightly. "Joe, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean for this to happen! I love you so much Joe I don't want to loose you!" there was silence for a few minutes and then he wrapped his arms around my waist and buried his head into my hair. "I love you too, Kat" he whispered. "I'm going home tomorrow Joe" Joe pulled away and looked into my eyes, "What?" "My dad wants me to go home so I can get healthy again" I started crying and Joe pulled me into his chest. His white t-shirt soon had mascara all down it. "We'll sort it out Kat, I love you" Joe pulled me out of the hug and then into a kiss. Ericka and dad came back into the room. "I think they sorted it out" Ericka whispered but I still heard. I pulled away from Joe's lips and turned to her. "I love you all!"

Dad stayed for another half an hour before returning to his hotel, Ericka went to her bed and fell asleep straight away which just left me and Joe. "I better get home now" Joe said grabbing his jacket, I took it from him "No, stay...please" Joe smiled "You remembered your manners" he winked. I went to the bathroom and took off my dress and put on some baggy shorts with a black vest top. I then took off all the mascara that had left black lines on my face. When I exited the bathroom Joe was already lying in my bed with his eyes closed. I went to the bed and climbed in beside him, I lay looking at him. God he was perfect! "Whatcha looking at Kat?" he whispered, I pushed him playfully because he gave me a scare "What was that for?" He pretended to look sad and he was rubbing where I'd pushed him. "I thought you were asleep!" "You think I'd fall asleep without you there to cuddle?" I giggled "Joesph Sugg you are honestly the most soppy person I have ever met!" He wrapped his arms around me and he rested his hands on my bare back. I surprisingly liked it but I was still nervous because my spine stuck out so much because I was so thin. "Are you still wearing your jeans?" I asked curiously, "You really think I'd wear skinny jeans to bed?" I shook my head and laughed "Good night Joesph" "Good night Kat" he kissed my forehead and pulled me close enough that I felt the heat coming from his body.
