Silence...
Silence is what I had heard for the next two weeks after my argument with Joey.
Silence and Pain evolved me, didn't even go to school. I don't even know why, I'm like this. We aren't dating and he doesn't want to be friend. He said it himself.. And he meant every fucking word.. "Aemma, pet?" Mam said as she knocked on my white wooden door. "Hm?" I said in response as my face buried it's self into the pillow. "Get ready hun, we're having guests over." Mam said as she soothed her voice. "Okay.." Is all I responded with. "Be down in a second." I said as well. "Okay, pet." Mam said before I heard her Victorian heels clicking on the wooden flooring beneath her. I just laid there, helpless. Felt like shit and looked like shit. Cupcake snuggled herself into my arms trying to comfort me. "Hi cup.." I whispered as I snuggled my face into her fur, feeling safe and loved. I groaned and sat up, and looked around my room. Clothes everywhere, dishes stood on my drawers, dust is crevasses I can't reach. I sighed, and stood up. I trembled to my suite bathroom and switched on the shower. I looked at myself in the luxurious mirror afterwards. Boney face, horrendous eye bags, collar bone on perfect sight. I scoffed and and hated the way I looked right now, I just lifted my hoodie off and over my head. Rib cage in perfect sight as well. I just continued to strip down. I walked into the shower and let the hot water consume my identity. I just stood there as the hot blazing water trickled down my back, leaving red marks in its trail.
------------------------------------------------
I had gotten out of the shower a couple of minutes ago, and I was now changing into my outfit. I wore a white skirt, with a jumper and some white sneakers. I finished getting ready and sat at my vanity, deciding on if I wanted to cake my face with makeup or not. I decided not too, I just pulled my blonde hair into a half up due and put a nice white bow on and my rose gold glasses on. I stood, I felt descent so I left my room and walked down the old Victorian stair casing. "Oh Pet. You clean up nicely." Mam say once I stepped into the kitchenette. "Thank you Ma." I replied, slowly making my way to the stool so I can sit down. "How are ya, pet." Mam asked as she placed a cup of tea and a small plate with a biscuit on it, in front of me. "I'm good Mam, thanks." I replied giving her a reassuring smile. "That's good, well I presume you should know who's coming over." Mam said with a sigh and a small smile as well. "Uh yeah, who is it?" I asked before I took a small sip of my tea. "It's Gerard's step family. The Allen's they just moved in with them, so we decided we'd have them over for dinner." Mam said as she put the freshly homemade rolls into the oven. "They have a son that's three years older than you. His name's Mark, I know three years is far but you should get to know him hun." Mam said as she dusted her hands off on her bakery apron. "Oh, that's nice. I guess I can try to talk to him. Will Johnny, and Gibs be there though?" I asked while I wiped my mouth with a napkin. "Johnny no, Gerard yes. Gerard isn't really fond of his step family from what Johnny told me so he will be sitting next to you, dear." Mam said as she started to work on the main course. "Oh okay, that's fine. When will they be here?" I asked while fidgeting with my fingers. "Uhm, approximately two hours from now." Mam said just before she continued to talk. "Hey hun, I need some eggs and some other things for dinner. If I provide a list for you then will you go make a quick stop at the market for me?" Mam asked sweetly as ever. "Yeah, I'll walk. I need to get out anyways. Just write down the stuff you need then I'll go." I replied with a nice warm smile. "Okay dear, I already planned on asking you so I already did." Mam said as she walked over to the drawer and got out a lined yellow sheet of sticky note paper. "Here." Mam said as she handed me the small sheet and continued to cut up some onions. I don't know how this women doesn't even shed a tear when she cuts them. "Thank you. I'll be back in a couple of hours." I said as I walked out of the door and down the gravel road.
I had just gotten to the market and grabbed a trollie, and started to look at the list.
Eggs
Flour
Peppers
Cheese
Apples
Peaches
Biscuits
Sugar
Crisps
I first went to get the eggs, until I saw him. The familiar blonde haired boy with a blonde haired girl. Aoife? I mentally questioned. I didn't even question myself to ask why she was with them till I saw his hand placed on her lower back that held her pink thong that stood out with her low waisted jeans. I broke. Why did it hurt when I saw it. Why did I shatter into billions of pieces that could possibly never be put back together. I just walked away to go get the eggs till I locked eyes with him. Joey. I know he saw the pain, I know he knew that I saw what he did. "I fucking hate you." I mouthed to him, all he did was look away. I just wanted to get the hell out of this place until to my luck someone called my name. "Aemma, over here!" Gibs was standing right next to the crisps. He knew what he was doing, he knew that I was breaking because of what I saw. Gibs walked over to me and grabbed my waist pulling me into his side as he leaned down and whispered. "Just go with it Sunshine." as he began to walk with me. I looked back at Joey and saw his jaw clenching. It fucking hurt, why was he jealous. He said he didn't want me to be his friend and said we aren't dating so why does he care. "I need to finish this list Gibs." I said as I held up the yellow piece of paper "Okay, let's go Sunshine!" Gibs said with a cheeky smile. I laughed and followed him.
We were now just leaving with 40 minutes to spare before the rest of Gibs family came. "Aemma, wait!" A masculine voice called out to me when I was walking out of the market with Gibs beside me. "Go on, I'll be with you in a second." I said to Gibs, Gibs just nodded and walked away. Thunder struck in the sky, soon rain droplets started to poor for the newly sunset sky. "Are you with him." Joey said to me from behind. I turned around as my hair stuck to my forehead because of the rain. "Are you with her?" I asked in return. Joey looked at me. He saw me, he saw what I saw in him. "No. I'm not with her." Joey said as he lifted the hood of his hoodie over his now wet curls. "Then, I'm not with him." I replied, still standing there, still getting soaked. "I hate you so much Joey. I can't even fucking explain it!" I said as I threw my hands up. He just stood there. "Why'd you do it." I asked. "Why are you ruining yourself." I asked again "It's who I am! It's a copping mechanism. I have Nothing to hold on to Aemma! Nothing. I don't do friends and I sure as hell don't do girlfriends either! I'm not a boy you'll see at school that will have a random girl on their lap." Joey said, finally breaking again. "You have me! I'll be your friend! I want to be your friend not because I feel bad. But because I want to." I said in reply as tears flooded my eyes eventually falling from my eyelashes, blending into the rain. "I don't need anyone, Aemma." Joey said as he shoved his hands into the pockets of his jeans. "I'll be your friend." I just said walking up to him. "I see you Joey Lynch. Just let me in." I said as I cupped his face with my cold hands, getting the warmth I needed. "If I let you in then, I'll hurt you.. And I can't have that. I'll be your friend but nothing more Aemma Kavanagh." Joey replied slowly. I hugged up, I wrapped my short pale arms around his torso and hugged him with all my strength. He hugged me back, I didn't expect it at all. He placed his chin on top of my chin. I was short, I barely even reached his chest. "I need you to let me in, Stud." I said, as I still hugged him. "I can't let you in just yet, Queen." Joey said as he rubbed my head with his hand. The rain consuming us. and the market sign illuminating us with bright light as we stood there hugging.
