(Joes pov)
"Joey are you even listening to me??" - Lexie
"yeah Lex, you were talking about how I should start working out more" - joe sighed
"yes. you need to listen to me, okay, I'm being serious because of your injury you're starting to lose your six-pack because you haven't been in the gym lately. Lexie Mathews doesn't date boys that don't have six packs" - Lexie
"yeah. I'll tell the trainer that I want to tone up" - Joe
"that's my boy! hey I gotta go tay and her friends are here." - lexie
"Are there going to be any guys there?" - Joe
"well duh. can't have a party without boys Joey. I've got single friends you know. I love you Joey!!" - Lexie
"yeah uh bye Lex" - joe
"bye baby!!" - Lexie ended the call
I dropped my phone onto my chest and ran one of my hands over my face.
after y/n told me to leave I went straight back over to my house. I had my own house but it was across the street from my parents.
I can't have her mad at me, not after I just got her back. I need advice from someone but I can't ask my mom because I know she'll end up telling y/n what I told her. I knew I could talk to y/n's mom, so I walked across the street to their house. my parents went home for dinner so I knew I was set to have a private conversation.
"Hey Joe" - your dad
"hey uh where's y/m/n?" - joe
"kitchen" - your dad
"Okay, I need to talk to her" - Joe walked into the kitchen
"Hey Joey!" - your mom
"hey.." - joe
"you okay?" - your mom read his body language
"not really... I need to talk" - joe
"of course, do you want to go sit out back?"
- your mom
"sure" - joe
once we were situated out on the back deck she turned to me, waiting for me to start.
"I'm going to tell you something and I need you to promise you won't tell y/n" - Joe
"Okay... I promise I won't tell her" - your mom
"thank you. I haven't told anyone this, not even my parents or Ja'marr." - Joe
"go on." - your mom
"Okay so uh, ever since we transferred to LSU. I had feelings for y/n. like I had a crush on her."
- joe
"oh my gosh.." - your mom couldn't help but smile
"I was going to tell her at our graduation party but I chickened out. I'll forever punch myself for that. but anyway, I had a massive crush on her. like every time we made eye contact my heart stopped. I was terrible at flirting though, and comparing hand sizes stopped working after a while. she was everything to me, and I was so scared that if I confessed to her and she didn't feel the same way our friendship would be ruined. that's why I never ended up telling her. when I got drafted I was happy that I'd be coming back to Ohio but then y/n told me she was staying in Louisiana. I tried to lose feelings, but I quickly realized it wasn't going to happen and instead, I'd have to suppress my feelings. I never had intentions of losing contact but when I started dating Lexie six months ago she didn't like that I talked to y/n every day and told her everything. Lexie told me that she'd break up with me if I didn't stop talking to y/n. stupidly I started ignoring y/n." - Joe
