I Still Need You

Chapter 4

2 weeks later...

Joey's POV

These past two weeks have been going great I was waiting for Daniel after his shift but he texted me that he wasn't going to get home right away because he had to stay for a meeting. I sighed and decided not to text him back.

It's been about an hour since Daniel texted me and I was getting hungry so I decided to go to Urth Cafe to go and get some dinner for me and Daniel once he gets home.

Daniels POV

Okay I know this is wrong but I didn't stay for a meeting but I was going to have dinner with a guy I talked to today during work. We decided to go to Urth Cafe because who wouldn't?

It's been about an hour since I've been talking to Ricky. He seemed really interesting, he had many interests that were appealing to me. Soon enough without me noticing I reached out from across the table to take a hold of his hand. We were just having small talk for a little while more when I suddenly felt this tense feeling in my stomach. No, it's not butterflies it was more of the feeling of something is going to happen and it wasn't going to be good.

As the night went on, I still felt the feeling as if at any moment something was going to happen.

As I heard Ricky talk on about how our coworker wouldn't act nice to others I heard a gasp from behind me but I decided to not pay attention to it. I was staring at Ricky with my hand on top of his when he suddenly stopped talking and was staring, not at me but behind me.

I hesitantly turned around and instantly regretted it. It was Joey, red-faced, fist clenched closed holding two drinks in his other hand.

"J-Joey, What are you doing here?" I said as I quickly pulled my hand off of Ricky's.

"What am I doing here?! The question is what are YOU doing here Daniel? Weren't you supposed to be at a meeting?" He said a little loud so everyone could hear.

Ricky instantly got up. "I'm really Daniel I have to go. I really enjoyed our date! We should do this some other time!" He said while walking away and winked.

Fuck.

"Date! A d-date Daniel?" Joey said softly looking down throwing the cups into the trash and walking back hesitantly.

"No Joey! It was just, I-I was just having dinner with one of my coworkers." I said unsure of what he was going to do. The thing is, he didn't do anything instead he walked away and got the order and threw it in the trash and ran out of the restaurant. I saw his car speed off probably back home.

I quickly paid and got in my car and headed home to Joey. When I arrived home I opened the front door and stumbled upon suit cases. I heard rustling upstairs and I ran up to see Joey crying packing up his stuff into another smaller suitcase.

"J-Joey what are you doing?"

"I-I'm leaving Daniel! I never want to see you ever again! You t-thought I wasn't going to f-find out about your little date?!" He said staring angrily at me.

"I-I to-" he cut me off.

"No! I've had enough of all your bullshit! I'm done! Never speak to me again!" He said while pushing me aside and went downstairs.

"Joey you can't do this to me!" I said tears forming in my eyes because I realized, he was actually leaving.

"I can and I will." And with that he walked out to his car with all his suit case and threw them inside his car. He quickly got inside the car and locked it. I frantically started to try to open the car but nothing worked. He lowered the window just a little bit so I could here what he was going to say.

"Never talk to me again." With that he pulled up his window again and drove off. I tried to run to catch up but he was too fast he sped off and I just fell to the hard sidewalk and cried because I soon realized that I have lost the love of my life all because I couldn't stop being such a slut and try to talk to every guy I see.

I fucked up big time. But I will get Joey back because

He's mine.
