((Why did you let him in?))

Joes POV

I stayed out until 10:00pm just walking and thinking. I always did that. When my phone clock hit 10 I had to run home. Usually the house is quiet but tonight there were 2 voices.

"Haha! No way!"

"Yep! That's my mum for you!"

I slammed the door shut and the voices went hushed. I threw my bag on the floor and stomped upstairs. I heard movement in Zoës room.

I went in without knocking and I found the blonde haired boy sitting on the floor staring right at me with fear in his eyes.

Why would he be scared?

"because look at you Joe. You tried your best and then everything crumbles down on you. No point in you staying alive."

"Why did you let him in?" I felt myself hissed at Zoë.

"Because he said that he wanted to talk to me so I convinced dad to let him have a sleepover." Zoë informed me calmly.

"Obviously! He would let you do anything!" I argued with her.

It wasn't fair! Zoë got everything!

Flashback.

Punch. Punch. Punch, kick.
"stop!" I yelled but by that time everything was already black.
I woke up in the school bathroom. I looked at my watch, it was 4:00 and I needed to run home. I forced myself up even though it hurt loads. I looked in the mirror quickly and lifted my shirt. More bruises means more scars.
I arrived home.
"Happy Birthday to you!"
This day was Zoës birthday and she was turning 11.
For my birthday we had a party. Well, if a party is where everyone ignores you and there is only 5 people there.
I walked into the kitchen and there were around 30 people standing and singing happy birthday.
Zoë was going to open her main present.
She ripped of the golden wrapping paper and inside it was a mp3 player.
I really wanted one of them for my birthday and I asked dad loads if I could have one but he always said no.
Zoë smiled her head off and then put down her presents and went to dance.
The whole night was me sitting on the chair in the corner trying to forget the big bruise on my chest and the big whole in my heart.

End of flashback .

"So yes or no Joe?" Zoës voice was starting to extremely annoy me.

"Repeat-" I started.

"You always blank out Joe!" Zoë said, "Were you going to say repeat the question?!?"

I rubbed the back of my neck and sat down.

"Yeah."

"Dad said Caspar can stay if you join in."

It took me a moment to actually let those words sink in.

But no matter how much I wanted to go into my room, my mouth said, "Okay."

I heard 2 sighs in the room.
One was from myself for being so stupid.

Two was from Zoë. She was probably glad that I said yes so she can hook up with Caspar.

'She doesn't like you Joe. Look at the pain you threw at her.'

Zoë got up and walked out of the room and shut the door behind her.

"Wanna play truth or dare?" Caspar winked at me.
"What? A game for little babies." I snapped back.

"Okay. Joe? Serious now. Joe, what happened? What is wrong? What happened the day when it was the awards assembly?"

Wait.
How did he know that?

What have my 'Friends' told him?

'What friends? They just hang out with you because they like Zoë.'

"And also Oli wanted you to have this." Caspar threw me a crumbled up piece of paper.

I opened it and to my surprise was the poem I wrote.

My fists clenched.

I couldn't believe that Caspar knew about the worst night of my life.

I wonder if he knows what happened after we all got home.

No Zoë wouldn't tell Caspar that.

It was too serious.

I stood up and my body seemed to grab the blondes collar.

"Nothing that concerns you." I whispered in his ear.

I then let go and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Zoë came rushing in, "Joe! What did you do?"

I just messed up big time once again.

'Look, why would Caspar like you. Why do you want Caspar to like you?'

I don't no brain. I don't know.
