Chapter 18

~STILL JOE'S POV~
Me and Caspar walk into the hall together, holding hands. I look for where Hayley was sitting. She was with Zoe and Alfie who were also talking go Oli, Marcus, Dan and Phil. This was perfect.

The pair of us walked over to the table. Hayley looked at the two of us and then our inter-locked hands. She jumped out her seat and hugged us, "I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT!" She exclaimed. The three of us hugged and then sat down.

"So what was that all about at the bar Joe?" Marcus asked. As Hayley went back to the table, he saw our hands, "Is this a joke?" There was excitement in his voice. The rest of the group looked causing Zoe to clasp her hand over her mouth, "Oh... my... god..." she gasped.

I looked at Caspar. He had a beam so bright on his face.

"OH MY GRACIAANEES! WHAT IS HAPPENING!?"

We turned and saw Joey and Daniel with there arms around each others waist and the rest of the party looking at us.

I looked at Caspar and he nodded.

"Me and Caspar... we settled our differences. We found out, thanks to Hayley that we both had a thing for each other... and here we are," I smiled. Everyone clapped and cheered, saying they knew all along Jaspar was real as we kissed.

~HAYLEY'S POV~
"Well done," I looked at Alfie.

"What do you mean?" I question.

"You got Jaspar together!" Connor exclaims, coming up behind me, "Honestly your cupid!"

I laugh, "You think?"

"Yes!" Connor laughs.

Everyone goes back to partying and then we have the cake (happy birthday was sung a second time). Then Troye comes up, "Fancy singing again?"

I laugh, "Are you sure?"

"100%," Troye smiles, "And I need to ask you something really important."

I raise an eye brow and follow Troye to the front. He sets me up a microphone, "Ready?"

I nod and we sing Ease.

I'm down to my skin and bone
And my mommy, she can't put down the phone
And stop asking how I'm doing all alone, alone
But the truth is the stars are falling, ma
And the wolves are out quit calling, ma
And my home has never felt this far

But all this driving
Is driving me crazy
And all this moving
Is proving to get the best of me
And I've been trying to hide it
But lately
Every time I think I'm better
Pickin' my head up, getting nowhere

Take me back to the basics and the simple life
Tell me all of the things that make you feel at ease
Your touch, my comfort, and my lullaby
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night

Now I'm down to my skin and bones
My baby listens to me on the phone
But I can't help feeling like I'm all alone, all alone
The truth is, the stars are falling, babe
And I'd never ever thought that I would say
I'm afraid of the life that I've made, I've made

But all this driving
Is driving me crazy
And all this moving
Is proving to get the best of me
And I've been trying to hide it
But lately
Every time I think I'm better
Pickin' my head up, getting nowhere

Take me back to the basics and the simple life
Tell me all of the things that make you feel at ease
Your touch, my comfort, and my lullaby
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night

I've been lyin' to them all
I don't need it anymore
Don't you worry about me
I'll be fine if I can breathe
I've been out it for too long
Taking shit for how I'm wrong
How I'm wrong
Always wrong

Take me back to the basics and the simple life
Tell me all of the things that make you feel at ease
Your touch, my comfort, and my lullaby
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night

Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night
(Take me back to the basics and the simple life)
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night
(Tell me all of the things that make you feel at ease)
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night
(Your touch, my comfort, and my lullaby)
Holdin' on tight and sleepin' at night

Me and Troye walked off the stage, "So what was the important thing you wanted to ask me?"

"Well... I have already asked Zoe and Alfie about this and they agreed," Troye began.

"Right..." I say, taking a drink of my J2O.

"Well after the wedding because this could take a while... I would like you to sing and be in the video for my next song."

I begin to cough as my drink goes down the wrong way (anyone else have that frequently?) "Me?!"

Troye nods, "Your voice is amazing! And it will go perfectly with my new song."

"Are you sure?" I ask.

"Gurl, you will be the legit next Beyonce," Tyler says, coming over.

I smile at him, "I doubt that."

"Don't doubt. Dream!" He says.

"So... what do you say? You will have to fly to America though..." Troye asks.

"Definitely!" I smile.

*3 months later*
"Zoe I'm sure you look beautiful!" Poppy exclaims.

Let's get you up to date.

1. Zoe has chosen her bridesmaids; me, Poppy, Darcy, Louise, and her second cousin (A/N; it's up to you guys to make up Zoey's second cousin! Must be 13 - and specify details, names and wether she (has to be a she) will be friends or enemies with Hayley. You have a day ☺️) unfortunately, Zoey's cousin wasn't able to be here as she lives in Scotland and she had some exams to do before coming down for the wedding.

2. Alfie has chosen Marcus to be his best-man since they have been friends since the beginning.

3. Zoey's dad was giving her away.

4. They were getting married in two weeks

TWO WEEKS!

"I'm not sure..." Zoey says, "I mean it's pretty but I don't think it suits me!"

"Oh come off it chummy!" Louise says, "You look amazing in everything!"

"Well..." Zoey comes out and we all gasp.

"Zo you look amazing!" I exclaim, running and hugging her.

"You think?" She asks but there isn't unsureness in her voice. A happy cheery tone instead.

"Trust me if Alfie doesn't fall for that... he is not a good husband," Louise smiles.

"So... should I take it?"

"1000% yes!" Poppy exclaims.

Next we had the bridesmaids dresses. Zoe loved them and so did we so we brought them, buying a extra one for Zoey's second cousin.

"You will love her," Zoey says as we leave the shop.

I hoped I did...
