hi. im alive.
Joe's pov
"heeeey" i say to taylor who just stepped in hall and has sunglasses and scarf on with coffee in her hand.
"soo loud!" she gasps.
"sorry, just wanted to make sure you're okay."
"let's just say i envy your inability to get drunk. I don't remember much from the last night"
"yeeeah that's probably for the best" i say and taylor just nods at me.
"summer lovin'" i start singing quietly.
"oh god, that i do remember" she says embarrassed and i just giggle, she was so adorable and excited last night.
"aaaaaww two lovebirds" cisco comes up from behind. Of course he was there all along.
"will you ever stop?" taylor says in frustrated tone.
"no" he just smirks.
"and we obviously aren't 'loverbirds' cisco"
"oh oh as you say alwyn"
"see you guys after class" taylor says and goes to her class. she's been off since this morning and i have no idea why.
"byee" cisco waved his hand.
"hi guys!" a brunette girl approaches us.
"hey" we smile to her.
"oh this is my roommate Caitlin snow, caitlin this is joe"
"nice to meet you caitlin" i smile.
"nice to meet you too joe, i guess see you later!" she says and runs off to her class. Even tho i hate people she was kinda cute. She had chocolate brown eyes and silky brown hair.
"bye joe i'm gonna see you on a break"
"bye cisco" i smile and go to my class.
Taylor's pov
I finally finish my lectures and go to cafeteria where cisco and joe approach me with one girl.
"taylor this is caitlin, caitlin this is taylor" cisco says and i fake smile to brunette girl.
"nice to meet you caitlin" i shake hands with her.
"nice to meet you too taylor" she smiles back and i go and grab waffles with coffee as usual and go sit alone.
i see how 'trio' gets their food and sit down together, laughing about the jokes which aren't funny at all. Soon i see one more blonde girl who looks like emma - my ex best friend. they all welcome her.
I eat my food in silence and get going to dorm where i finally let out my emotions and start sobbing. I feel how my hands start shaking and soon i even can't breath properly.
"no no no please no" i stutter trying to calm myself down but i get more anxious when i hear footsteps near the door. I shut my eyes and pray for whoever that is to go but unfortunately that person is joe and he steps in with something in his hand which he hides immediately.
"hey hey what happened?" he rushes over me and hugs me tightly. I wanna tell him to go but I can't say a word.
"shh, just breath okay? take deep breaths" he tells me but i just shake my head and sob.
"c'mon tay take deep breaths, in and out please" he begs and starts deep breathing himself as i try to mimic him, which i successfully do after a while.
"what happened?" he asks and rubs my back in effort to calm me down and it really works i have to say.
"m-my dad he got in car crash today" i say and tears stream down my face faster now.
"oh my god, I'm so sorry love I'm so sorry" he says softly and wipes my tears with the pad of his thumb.
i just sob on his chest and soon get tired from crying, i just close my eyes and lean on him. He kisses me on head and picks me up before tossing me in the bed.
"hey joe?"
"hm?"
"will you stay with me until i fall asleep?"
"sure, yeah" he says and sits down on my bed, rubbing my legs above the blanket and after a while, I fall asleep.
Joe's pov
After making sure taylor was asleep i get up and head straight to jitters.
"sorry guys i'm late"
"no it's okay soo what did you wanna tell us?" cisco asked.
"so i just found out it's taylor's birthday tomorrow so i wanna do something special for her and i thought maybe you guys could help me" i say and look at cisco and caitlin.
"maybe some perfume would be good?" cait offers.
"yeah but she doesn't wear make up" i sighed.
"does she wear jewel?" she asks again and i just shake my head.
"i know what would be great!" cisco shout while sipping "killer forst" coffee.
He tells me his whole plan and that wasn't bad idea after all so we start preparing for everything as it's getting late anyways.
