1.7

Joe was landing at the Philippines after fourteen hours. Those fourteen hours were hell. All he could think of was Emma and if shes okay and what he's going to say when he gets there and he was just overall nervous. 

Joe was quick. Very quick. The airport was full and he ran through it all. All the cabs being taken but as soon as he saw someone who was still talking to someone as the cab waited he duck in to the cab begging the man to drive. Now he was driving to the address Emma's mom gave him. 

As soon as he pulled up at the small house, his heart was beating 10x faster and his body was going numb. He kind of just stayed in the car staring at the house. At one point he saw Emma's silhouette. His breath hitching as he tapped away on his leg. Joe was tired. Goddam tired. But he had to do it. Thanking and paying the cab driver he walked up to the front door. His hand going up to knock on the door but stopping mid way. He felt frozen. Frozen to the point where he was about to fall. 

The door opened, a tiny girl standing by the doorway. 

"I'll be back soon, Grand-" Emma's spoke, cutting off as she saw Joe standing in front of her. 

"J-Joe?" She stuttered. 

"Emma." 

"What are you doing here?" She asked, closing the door behind her. 

"I came here for you Emma. I don't want you to leave. I want you to be with me, Emma. I'm in love with you and I will never stop being in love with you. You don't even know how much it pains me to see you hurt. God, I would never treat you like that. You're too precious to lose." By now he had her cheeks cupped and he wanted to so badly kiss her. 

"I'm fine. I mean I was hurt. But I realized Caspar was right, I am in love with you still. He was just trying to not get hurt and hurt me along the way. I really don't care anymore. I forgive people too fast but I really don't care. Trust me I wish I didn't leave. But fourteen hours back? Might as well stay for a while." She laughed causing Joe to shake his head a chuckle. 

"Oh Emma." He said, kissing the top of her forehead before bringing her in to a hug. 

a couple days later

Emma walked into the apartment, Joe behind her pulling her suitcase in. 

"Caspar?!" She called out. The sudden sound of a loud thump and footsteps coming upstairs made her turn her head. There he was the blonde haired boy coming to her with a hug. 

"Oh thank god you're okay." He breathed. "I'm sorry. I really am. God Emma." 

Emma laughed, "It's okay, Casp." Joe walked to her side intwining their hands. "Everything is going to be perfect now." She smiled at Joe. 

Caspar was a bit taken aback at their gesture but soon a wide smile appeared on his face. 

"I ship it."
