Joe and Caspar woke up like any other day. Getting up (well attempting) and brushing their teeth. Then, (mostly Joe bc Caspar doesn't give a fuck) changing out of their sweatpants into some clothes. And for both Caspar and Joe the first thing they like to do is say good morning to Emma. 

But today, they both walked out of their rooms, at the same time. And thats when it hit them. Thats when it hit Caspar that they were basically over- her knowing he cheated and didn't love her. But he did, just not in that way. He frowned, letting Joe go first because Emma would basically not want to talk to Caspar. Joe opened the door to her bedroom, his smile fading as he realized Emma wasn't there. His eyes wondered around the room, landing on her closet full open with all her clothes gone. He realized her vanity had nothing in or on it anymore. Her laptop gone, everything that seemed useless staying in her room. 

"Caspar!" Joe yells. Caspar walks in the room mid way asking 'what?' he stops as he looks at the bare closet. 

"Emma?" His eyes curve up with worry and Joe furrows his eyebrows. 

"It's all your fault! You did this!" He yells, pushing past him to go get his phone. He dials and places the phone to his ear.

"Fuck!" He yells. 

He rings Zoe, asking her if Emma is with her but Zoe is more confused than he is. "God, Emma where can you be?" 

That whole day Joe went to possibly every hotel in the city looking for her. And now he was on his way to her parents home, knowing if he called they'd lie. The train was going slow to his dislike and he kept tapping his fingers on his leg. Nothing was on his mind other than thinking of where she could be. 

Once he got to her parents house, he rushed to the front door knocking harshly on the wood. A tiny figure appears from behind, the same figure as Emma. But to his dissappointed, it was her mother. They looked identical to each other. Her mom was basically the future Emma. 

"Joe? What brings you here?" She asks. 

"Well, Emma ran away. Kind of. She wasn't there when I woke up and all her clothes were gone. I was just wondering if you know where she is?" His voice was filled with hope. 

Emma's mother looked at him for a while before sighing, "I shouldn't be telling you this but she went with her grandparents. Caspar hurt her so badly. She needed to be away from you guys, she said she'd stay here but you'd come looking here either way. But Joe, I know you guys love each other and I just want my baby to be happy. She'd be happy with you." 

Emma's mother gave Joe an address, her grandparents house. In the Philippines. 

And that's when Joe bought a ticket to the Philippines. For Emma.
