    Three more texts added to the hundred others.. Not even a single read, was left on the screen..  My worry got tremendously worse by every day that pasted without seeing Joey.. I've been staying at Aoife's house for the past couple days, cause I couldn't bare to see anyone but her and Johnny.. My heart beated for Joe, he raced because of him.. But he's gone. 

A ringing of a phone filled my senses, cutting me out of my thoughts.. I picked up my phone and held it to my ear. "Aemma?" A voice said from down the line. "Yes, mam it's me." I said as my voice cracked. "Oh Aemma, We desperately need your help, pet." Mam said from the other line, that's when my body shot up. "What's wrong, mam?" I said as I sat up on the guest living bed. "It's Joey, pet. He's been staying here, but he hasn't came out of the room since... The incident." Mam said, I was confused.. "Mam, what incident?" I questioned, as a sigh filled my ear. "Oh pet, The Lynch parents died in a house fire pet, a couple days ago.." Her voice ached as she told me. I realized why Joey hadn't answered me, why he didn't call, why he was a ghost. "He needs you, Aemma dear." Mam said as I got up and put my shoes on. "I'm coming mam, check in on him for me.. Okay?" I said as a tear trickled from my eye. "I will, Pet. Be careful dear." Mam said just before she killed the line. I put my phone in my pocket and grabbed my keys. Aoife was at work so I shot her a message. 

I left the house and into my car. Immediately, driving off once I had started it. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~

My heart was racing.. I felt like I was going fall. Like the world was caving in. Please, please.. Tell me he's okay.. I opened the grand door to my house. "Aemma, pet! You made it." Mam said as soon as I opened the door. "Where is he.." I said as I kicked off my shoes and dropped my keys and stuff onto the wooden floor beneath me. "He's in the guest bed upstairs, pet." Mam said, I didn't even stay for the rest. I immediately made my way upstairs. Upstairs to him.. I knocked on the door, I slowly opened it. I saw Shannon curled up next to him, trying to get to him.. "Shannon, let's give them a minute.." Mam said as the petite brunette girl, looked up at me once she left Joey's side. "Bring him back.. Aem.." Shannon said to me.. My heart cracked clean open in my chest. "I will, Shan.. I will." I said as I hugged her. Her tears staining my shirt. She pulled away and walked away with my mam.. The door shut closed. I looked at my boyfriend that looked broken and vulnerable on the white silk sheets that he sat on.. "Oh Joe.." I said as I came to him. I sat on my knees, next to him. "Joey.. My baby.." I whispered as I wrapped my arms around him. I felt him tremble from the sudden touch. His body jolted.. My heart kept breaking from seeing him break right in front of me.. "My baby.." My voice ached.. "Come back to me, my Joey.." I whispered to him. His arms wrapped around me as he cried into my stomach. "That's it, there's my Joe.. You're okay.." I whispered to him as my embrace tightened around him, as he broke in my arms. "I love you, Joe.. Don't ever leave me again baby.." I whispered to him as tears of my own slipped form my cheeks. His grip tightened. He held me like I was the only person who felt him and his pain..  I kissed his head as he cried to me. "You'll be okay Joe... I'll be with you, baby.." I said as I pulled his head away from my stomach and looked at him. "You'll always have me Joe.." I said as I kissed his lips. His tears sliding down onto our lips. I climbed onto his lap, as I hugged him. His hands hugging my waist as he let me help him.. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After hours of tears and comfort, me and Joe ate some food. He hadn't eaten since the incident. The crumbs lined the empty plate. I wasn't really hungry so I split my sandwich in half, so Joe could have more.. "Here Joe.." I said as I handed him the other half. "Are you not hungry..?" Joey asked, his voice breaking in the process. "No, I ate earlier." I said with a soft smile. He looks at me, I look into his eyes.. I can see everything in him, he's breaking.. I want to pick each piece of him back up and bandage him back together.. "You're going to be okay, Joe.." I said with a soft smile as my eyes fill with tears. When Joe hurts, I hurt.. I understand what it's like.. Every piece of me knows.. "I know, Aem.." Joey says as he places the plates on the night table next to him as he lays back. "Come here.." Joey says to me. I move towards him as I lay next to him. He snuggles his body and head into my side, as his hands run down my sides. "I love you, Stud.." I said as I kissed the top of his curls. "I love you too, Queen." Joey said as he relaxed into my touch.. 

I hate to see him like this.. I wish I could protect him from this world..
