joseph barrelled up the stairs like a mad man, taking four steps at a time and barging through joanne's door. "explain."

his girlfriend sent him a warning look and stopped comforting joanne to get up off the floor. "outside, joseph."

they made their way out of joanne's room, leaving the brunette a mumbling mess on the floor. she crawled onto her bed, levelling out her breathing and focusing on heather's voice through the door as she told her brother about everything since day one.

when that stopped, she shuffled to her pillows and lay staring at her window, moments later, heather slid under the blankets next to her and joseph pressed a kiss to the side of joanne's head.

"good night, jojo. you're not going anywhere tonight." heather murmured.
