Emma stumbled back, hitting the counter with her back as stares at Caspar wide eyed.
"How dare you!" Caspar spat, his face inches away from Joe's as he clenched his fists, whitening from the grip.
But the sudden mood in Joe's face changed. It went from scared to a smug face. "Cmon, Casp. Just tell her already."
"Tell her what?" Caspar pondered, stepping away from Joe and giving him a deadly look.
"Oh Caspar stop playing stupid. This has been going on for two months already!"
"Whats been going on for two months?" Emma spoke, her body hiding behind Joe.
"Don't." Casper demands.
Joe shakes his head before sighing, "Emma he's been ch-"
Caspar cuts him off. "I've been cheating on you."
In that moment, everything in her shattered. Everything became blurry as tears swelled up in her eyes. Her whole body felt weak.
Before Caspar could even dare to explain, Emma ran off to her room. Shutting the door and sliding down it, tears staining her cheeks. She could hear the faint yelling of Joe and Caspar. But suddenly it all stopped and footsteps began to come closer and closer and before Emma could lock the door the tall frame of Caspar stood in her room as she still shook from all the crying.
"Emma... I'm sorry." He spoke, his voice trying to be comforting.
"J-just why?" The words trembled out of her mouth as she tried to breathe.
"Emma, it wasn't you. Okay? It wasn't. You're perfect and beautiful and I only wish you actually loved me." Caspar sat next to her on the bed, his hands brushing against her cheek as he spoke.
"I do love you." She replied, harshly.
Caspar scoffed, "You don't. You think you do or maybe you do but it's not as big as your love for Joe." Emma furrowed her eyebrows, confused at to what he was trying to say. "Emma, you love Joe more than me. You always have. I started to see someone else when I realized it. You look at him differently. You talk to him differently. I love you, Emma. I truly do. But I didn't want to get hurt, I really didn't." His eyes started to get glassy as both of them had tears running down their faces. "You love Joe. A lot. A-and I didn't realize it til now but I'm in the way. He loves you Emma. I broke bro code." He jokes.
Emma chuckles, half laugh half sniffle. But she still felt a burning angst inside her. "Caspar, I do love you a lot. When i'm with you I never really thought about Joe. I loved you so fucking much Caspar. This completely shatters me inside and I don't care if you think I don't love you. But I love you. I fell so hard for you and you ruined all of it."
Caspar nodded, "You'll be okay." With that he got up, exiting her room.
'You'll be okay' He never loved her. He never even cared to consider her feelings.
But soon everything will be okay for all of them. Well, maybe not Emma.
