Requested by: IamLizziet

Today Joel was coming home, I decided to prepare him one of his favourite dishes. I was just casually cutting vegetables when the tears started falling while I cooked. I felt tears started to stream for no apparent reason, I didn't cut any onions. But God, why am I crying? Today feels like a horrible day.

I was preparing Joel his favorite dinner with steak with some sautéed veggies. Then at the same time I was baking him a chocolate cake. But each movement I made, I felt tears steaming down my face.

Oh God. What was wrong with me? Today should be a happy day, my boyfriend is coming home. Oh come on Lizzie cheer up! I told myself and I pushed through.

It's like one of those days that you wake up and you feel sadness but you're just trying your best not to break down. I took a deep breath. Willed myself to continue.

I just hoped I wasn't full on sobbing when Joel walked otherwise that would make him miserable. I heard the front door open, he was muttering a few curse words that was my favorite sight to see.

"Honey I'm home!" Joel calls out, I stayed silent. I heard him pull off his jacket and shoes, he walks over to me and wraps his tattooed arms around my waist.

"Wow babe that smells good. What are you making?" He asks me.

"Oh you know your favorite food." I said through tears, Joel took the knife out of my hand and put it down on the chopping board.

"Baby girl are you crying? Do I need to kick someone's ass?" Joel asks and I shook my head no. He sighs and pulls me into his chest. I just felt the tears flow.

"Uh I'm just having a bad day is all." I say muffled against his hard chest. He sighs.

"Come on let's sit." Joel says, while he turned off the stove and took me to living room. He tried his best to cheer me up.

But nothing worked, I just didn't know what was wrong with me. But you know it's just one of those days where you're emotionally drained and just wake up sad.

I sighed and decided to trudge back to the kitchen and managed to somehow finish dinner. We were both content and I found Joel sitting with acoustic guitar and started strumming. I did love it when he played music.

My poor boyfriend looked exhausted, but he was trying his hardest to cheer me up. He begins strumming and sing my favorite song Bad Day by Fuel.

"She said I would not understand
She left a note that said I'm sorry, I
I had a bad day again
She spilled her coffee broke a shoelace
Smeared the lipstick on her face
Slammed the door and said I'm sorry, I
I had a bad day again
And she swears there's nothing wrong
I hear her playing that same old song
She puts me up and puts me on
Had a bad day again
She said I would not understand
Left a note and said I'm sorry I
I had a bad day again
No,
And she swears there's nothing wrong
I hear her playing that same old song
She puts me up and puts me on
Oh I had a bad day again
She said I would not understand
She left a note that said I'm sorry, I
I had a bad day again
She left a note that said I'm sorry, I
Had a bad day"

I still had tears flowing down my face. Joel sighed and hugged.

"Hey love, come on. We should take a walk." Joel says to me, I agreed. We got dressed and headed toward the car and he drove us to the beach.

I pulled off my shoes and rolled up my jeans, while we walked hand in hand along the shoreline. I closed my eyes and let the ocean breeze pick my hair up. The fresh air was making me feel better.

We sat down and watched the sunset and Joel began telling me something.

"Remember the day we met you that you slipped a drink on me. I thought you were the most beautiful girl I had ever laid eyes on." Joel says with a chuckle.

"Oh you still remember that. You should blame that Liv because she was the one who pushed me into you. And look at where we are today." I whispered to the blonde haired vocalist.

"Well good thing she did. Because we wouldn't be together now would we?" Joel whispers, we looked at the sunsetting while I laid my head on my boyfriends shoulder.

Joel's blue eyes gaze into mine, while he entwines our fingers.

"Thank God you stopped crying baby. Otherwise I would have lost it." Joel says, while I bury my face into his shoulder.

"Well Joel it was only a bad day, I'm allowed to cry once in a while." I said with a giggle.

"Yes but I don't ever want to see you cry for anything because you're too precious to me and it hurts me to see you pain!" Joel whispers while we stayed on the beach until nightfall. Watching the stars while we laid back.

I turned onto my side with a smile.

"Well it's a good thing that I have you by my side then isn't it Joel Hokka." I said with a smile.

"Oh yes it is indeed!" I said with a sigh. He pulls me close to him with a smile.

We went home and had our chocolate cake with ice cream while we were watching Underworld.

"You know I always Selene and Michael were good together." I said with a smile laugh.

"Oh like we're good together also right." Joel says.

"Indeed but we're even better together." I said with a smile and gave him a kiss.

"I love you Joel." I say with a smile.

"I love you too Lizzie!" He says with a smile.
