I wake up and stretch while rubbing my eyes. I adjust my eyesight to look at my clock. 8 o'clock. I climb out of bed stumbling like a zombie into the spare room.
I open the door slowly expecting Zoe to be there lying in bed.
'Zo?' I say when I realise she isn't there.
'Oh.' I slur out-loud remembering Zoe stayed at Alfie's last night. I grab my phone and run down the stairs into the kitchen. While my smoothie was blending I check if I have any new messages.
"I'll come round at 10:30 so I can help you with the outfit!"xxx-Zoe.
No messages from Joe? He didn't even reply to my goodnight message? My thoughts got interrupted by several notifications on my phone. Twitter, Instagram, snapchat, Facebook. I decide to ignore them and carry on with my smoothie. After I finished drinking my smoothie and catching up with some dance moms I run upstairs and do my daily routine. As soon as I finished putting on my mascara the doorbell rang.
"Hey hey!" I shout as I open the door to reveal Zoe.
"Hi!" She squeals while hugging me.
"Let's get to work!" I say while getting my laptop and sitting on the sofa.
---------------JOE'S POV--------------
"Can't you just stay with me a little longer?" Kalel moans as I'm walking out the door.
"I wish I could but I have to do some editing kal." I say pretending to frown.
"Okay I'll see you later then!" She says pecking me on the lips.
As soon as I'm out of Kalel's house I drop a quick text to Jessica.
"Hey Jess, sorry I didn't text you last night I got caught up with editing. I'll come round later though!"xxxx-Joe.
I get back to the house and finish off some editing I did for a Sugg Sunday Special!
"Um Joe?" Caspar shouts from his room that's opposite mine.
"Yeah?"
"Have you been checking your social media?"
"No why?" I say confusingly.
"You might want to."
I go onto Twitter to have a look at what Caspar's talking about.
"So I guess JJ really isn't real."
"Wow Joe. You choose Kalel over Jessica?"
I start to get a little more confused the more I read these tweets.
It's the same on Facebook and Instagram. Only on Instagram there's pictures of it.
Pictures of me and Kalel at the table. Me and Kalel holding hands, me kissing her head, Zoe having a go at me, and then. The worst one yet. From the best angle they could get. Me. Kissing Kalel. On the lips.
"Shit!" I scream. I see a few comments saying,
"Jessica doesn't know yet!"
"Joe has a lot of explaining to do!"
I just hope Jessica never sees. But that's impossible.
-------------JESSICA'S POV--------------
After around an hour or so of me and Zoe working hard we finally take a break. I'm now getting mentioned in more things on social media than I was before Zoe came. What's going on?
"Kalel you're ruining everything."
"Wow Jessica doesn't know!"
"Feel so bad for Jessie."
Know what? What are they all talking about.
"Joe why Kalel? You had Jessica there all this time!"
What? What do they mean why Kalel?!
I start to get more and more inpatient when I start looking on Instagram.
Joe and Kalel kissing? At the same restaurant Zoe and Alfie went to? The one I was suppose to go to?!
And on the lips? Joe has a lot of explaining to do.
"Hey Jess, sorry I didn't text you last night I got caught up in editing. I'll come round later though!"xxxx-Joe.
"No thanks." I reply bluntly.
With that reply I turn my phone off and face Zoe.
"You knew?" I say starting to cry.
"I'm so sorry Jessica. I wanted him to tell you, if he didn't I would've. I didn't think it would be like this."
"I just want to be alone." By now I was properly crying.
"Sure thing Jessie. Text me soon. I promise, he will pay for this." Zoe says giving me a supportive hug.
"Thanks Zo!" I say wiping away my tears.
After Zoe left and another five minutes of crying I run upstairs to do my night time routine. I jump into bed and get underneath the covers keeping my phone off.
The thing that annoys me most is that he lied to me. I don't know if I can do this now. I'm so lost. I say to myself before turning off the light and going to sleep.
