(joe's pov)
yesterday, i came to a realization. the feelings i had for y/n back in college never truly went away. i didnt admit to y/n's mom that she was right that i still liked y/n, but in my head i knew she was right.
she's why i finally broke up with lexie. i knew she treated me like shit and still stayed with her, but y/n being there to comfort me just made me want to end things. i wanted my attention to just be on her after all the shit i did to her while we were living in different states.
that's why i'm so jealous of her and tee. i wanted to be in the spot he was in; i wanted to be taking her on dates, i wanted her to watch me at practice, and hang out with the other girls because she was with me.
now that i've excepted the fact that i still have feelings for her, i need to come up with a plan. this time im not gonna chicken out, im gonna confess to her what i've wanted to tell her for a very long time.
the first step in that direction is actually talking to her, because i haven't been doing that the past couple of days.
come over?
that's the first text i sent to y/n. i've been an unreasonable jerk to her the past couple days so i'd be surprised if she answered
why? you've been ignoring me and now you want to hang out?
fair enough.
i want to apologize. thought it'd be better in person.
i'll be over in ten.
thank god she's not mad enough to refuse to see me.
the next ten minutes seem to go on forever. i sat on my bed just staring at the ceiling and waiting for a knock on the door or a ring from the doorbell.
i picked up my phone to see that had been 11 minutes, and i lost hope until there was a knock on the door followed by the doorbell.
i practically sprinted down the stairs, through the living room, and up to the door.
i took a deep breath before i opened the door, she had a pissed off look on her face.
"hey" - joe
"hey" - you
"come in" - joe moved to the side and let you in
she sat down on the couch, i followed and sat a couple feet away from her.
it was silent for a few moments, i was trying to collect my thoughts and perfect my apology. when i was ready i cleared my throat, causing y/n to look at me.
"i'm really sorry y/n. i shouldn't have ignored you like that.." - joe
she scoffed at my apology, and that's when i realized this was going to be a lot harder than i thought.
"why'd you do that?" - you
"i- i was just kind of annoyed that you were going on a date with one of my teammates." - joe
"what's so wrong with me going on a date with your teammate? wouldn't you rather i like someone you know rather than someone you don't?" - you
"it's just that if it didn't work out between you too i don't want it to be awkward at practice and at games. it's my job, and i can't have stuff like that messing with it." - joe
"that's not a good excuse. i'm confused because you call me your best friend but you don't want me to be happy." - you
"i do want you to be happy-" - joe
