(y/n's pov)
It was a week later and joe and i have still been distant with each other.
and i know i'm the one to blame.
i miss what we were before everything happened with jonah but i don't know how to fix my mistakes.
i was doing my makeup and getting ready for a doctors appointment when joe walked in the bathroom.
he stretched slightly and yawned.
"good morning" - you chuckled
"laughing at me?" - joe smirked
it felt good to have a moment that wasn't tension filled.
"how'd you sleep?" - you
"not too bad, the couch really isn't that comfortable though" - joe
that's another thing.. ever since we got home joes been sleeping on the couch.
"start sleeping in the bed with me again then"
- you
i looked at him in the mirror, hoping he'd have a happy reaction.
"nah it's okay, that couch isn't that bad" - joe
my makeup was finished and i was done having awkward interactions with joe so i left the room shortly after he said that.
"y/n?" - joe
"what." - you
"can i still go to the appointment with you?" - joe
i turned and faced the bathroom, joe was standing in the doorway looking at me with a serious look on his face as he fidgeted with his bracelets.
"why couldn't you go?" - you
"sorry for asking.. i- i just didn't know if you still wanted me there" - joe
"of course i want you there joe, why wouldn't i?"
- you
i was hoping this would lead to a talk so we could clear things up and get back to normal but joe just retreated back into the bathroom and turned the shower on.
"joe.." - you
i walked into the bathroom and joe was about to take his shirt off but stopped when he saw me.
"can we talk?" - you
"about what?" - joe
"us" - you
"what's there to talk about? we're engaged but you might still have feelings for your childhood boy best friend. that's all there is to talk about"
- joe
he was blunt and this was a side of joe i've never seen before.
"joe-" - you
"look you can't defend yourself here." - joe
"do you still love me?" - you
"what the hell? what kind of a question is that?"
- joe
"do you?" - you
"yes, of course i do?" - joe
"then why haven't you said i love you back for a week" - you
"because you hurt me" - joe
i felt my eyes fill with tears.
"now can you please leave. i- i have to shower"
- joe
"jo-" - you
"please- please go y/n" - joe looked down
*45 minutes later*
when i left the bathroom jonah had called me, and near the end of the call i said something out of nowhere.
