Me and Joey sit on my couch, cuddling while watching a movie. I move to kiss him but he just kisses my cheek and turns his attention back to the movie.

That's strange...

I wonder if something is bothering him? He should be able to talk to me about it.

"Joey is something wrong?" He bites his cheek and shakes his head. I cup my hands around his face and look into his eyes. They're cloudy with something that I can't tell.

"Nothing is wrong Kristen. I just-," he sighs before he can continue. It's me, isn't it? What could I have done?

I decide to stop prodding him for information and go back to watching the movie.

Maybe if I reach for his hand...if I do it subtly...he won't notice. I think while slowly gravitating my hand toward his.

Of course this is to no avail, because he moves his hand away as soon as my fingers come in contact with it.

"I'm going to go get a drink of water, want some?" He once again, shakes his head. I get up and walk into the kitchen and pour myself a glass of water. I can feel a headache coming on, so I decide to take some Tylenol.

"Where do we put that crap anyway?" I mumble to myself. When I walk out of the kitchen Joey is nowhere to be seen. I didn't hear the front door open, so he still must be here. I look to see the downstairs bathroom door shut, and the bottom glowing with light.

I set my glass of water down and sit back on the couch. The Tylenol just so happened to be in that bathroom, well I had some in my room too, but I felt to lazy to go and get it.

A small bing startles me while I watch the t.v. I turn my head to see a soft glow coming from the couch, it was coming from Joey's phone.

I knew that I shouldn't be one of those crazy girlfriends, but he's just been acting so weird lately. Just one little peek? Maybe some answers lie right there, in his phone.

I shut up my subconscious telling me not to do this and quickly reach for his phone. I look to see a message from Holt saying:

She's really that clingy? Wow

Wait what?! Are they having a conversation about me? And is Joey calling me clingy? Ugh, I knew it. Something is wrong.

Hmm..but what if I'm jumping to conclusions. If I could just read the conversation, I would actually understand.

I open up their chat and look at his last few messages with Holt.

Joey: She's crazy, all she wanted was for us to spend time together

Holt: I still can't believe that...that's a thing?

Joey: Can I say, super clingy girlfriend lol

Holt: She's really that clingy? Wow

This conversation is about me? Ouch. I hold the tears in and put his phone back in the original spot.

Was I being to clingy? We did spend almost every waking moment together. We see each other every day. Not to mention how we spent so much time together during Thanksgiving break. We had dinner at my house and his family came.
