Caspars POV
When I wake up the next day, my cheeks are wet with tears. What have I done? Have I ruined my friendship with Joe?
I fall asleep for another two hours and when I wake Joe is at my door. There are bags and suitcases behind him.
"Joe?" I croak "what's going on?"
He leans on the doorframe and looks down
"I thought it would be better for both of us if I moved out" he says quietly
I jolt up "No! Joe you can't! Please don't!"
His eyes meet mine and for a moment I get lost in them, they were beautiful. The colour of the ocean. Maybe..... What if I did have feelings for him. I shake the thought away. The silence continues for a second before Joe sighs "I really don't want to do this Caspar but......" He trailed away "I love you and I always will. Just knowing that it don't love me back hurts a lot." He said "Caspar, say you love me and I'll stay!" Joe said. I open my mouth but no words come. Joe smiles and shakes his head. He walks ofer to me, kisses my cheek then leaves. Taking his things with him.
As soon as I hear the door slam I break down. I cry and cry until there are no tears left "I LOVE YOU!" I scream "I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU!" My voice echoes around the empty flat. I wipe my eyes and grab my phone. I press Zoe's contact and she picks up after three rings
"Hi Caspar" she says
"Hey" I say "um....... Zoe...."
"Caspar what's wrong? What's happened?" Her voice is frantic.
"J..... Joe's gone" I say quietly
"Caspar? What's do you mean?" I don't reply "Caspar! Are you there?!"
"Yeah sorry" I wipe my eyes again
"Where's Joe?"
"I don't know, that's why I asked you. Last night he told me he love me and I got confused and rejected him. This morning I woke up and he had packed all his things and said he was moving out" I sob
"Oh Caspar....."
"Do you have any idea where he could be?" I asked
"No sorry Caspar. Try Dan and Phil. Or Jim and Tanya. Or Oli" she says
"Okay thanks" I say
"Listen Caspar, my brother is an idiot. He overreacts sometimes. He'll be back soon okay?"
"Okay" I say and hang up.
I have to find him. I have to because..... I love him
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Dan? Phil?" I knock on the door again and Dan answers, his hair dripping and a towel around his waist
"Caspar? What are you doing here?" He asked pulling the towel up slightly.
"Have you seen Joe!" I ask
"No sorry" he says. I walk away before he can say anymore.
Next I call Tanya but she hasn't seen him either.
I head to Oli's flat and bang on the door until he opened it.
"Caspar?" He asked
"Have you seen Joe?" I asked him
"No sorry. Is everything alright?"
"I'll explain later" and I ran down the stairs an out into the streets of London. I call Joe but he doesn't pick up
"Joe, please come home. I....I've figured it out now! I know what h want and that's you! I love you Joe. Please. Ple-" the message stopped recording.
Joe's POV
"Joe, please come home. I....I've figured it out now! I know what h want and that's you! I love you Joe. Please. Ple-" I played the message over again. He did love me. So if he loved me...... Why am I hiding out in Wills flat.
"Joe, food" Will said from the kitchen. I go to the kitchen and Will and Arden, who had flown over for a week, had already started on the food. It was a steak pie with chips and salad. I eat a few chips, some lettuce leaves and leave the rest. Caspar won't want me if I'm fat.
"Are you not hungry?" Arden asks
"Not really. I think I might move back home tomorrow"
Will nods and smiles at me.
That night, I lie awake. My stomach is rumbling like crazy as I hardly ate anything but I won't give in. I can't.
