I'll Fix Your Broken Heart (Lawson Fanfic)

Chapter Seven - Heartbreak Again

(Joanne's Point of View)

It had been a week since that night with Joel. I'd seen him about but hadn't really spoken to him since. To be honest, he hadn't even tried to speak to me either. I'd wanted to talk to him however, I thought it would be best if he were to make the first move and speak to me after the kiss. I didn't even know what I would say to him if he were to speak to me. I mean I've hated the boy from the moment we met. Now all of a sudden we've kissed and I don't know. I'm just confused I guess. I don't know what to think or do. I headed out the front door to my car when I noticed him down the street. He was out in his garden with a girl. I wasn't going to lie but when I saw that I was crushed. How could we kiss one week and the next he had moved on to another girl? Was I just nothing to him? After all that bullshit he hadn't even changed at all. I made my way down the street to his house. The girl had just disappeared inside. I stood at the end of the path and waited on Joel turning around. He eventually did and a smile spread across his face.

   "Joanne!" he said sounding surprised. "I've been meaning to come see you or call but I've been busy."

   "I can see that." I snapped. He just looked at me confused. "Don't even think about giving me that look. Joel do you think I'm blind? We live on the same street. I can see what's going on. You haven't changed at all. You just pretended so you could do this. Kiss me then hurt me. You're no different to my ex. It's no wonder I'm close to giving up on relationships. So you know what? Just go to hell. Don't even bother speaking to me again if you see me around." I said before turning around.

   "I haven't even done anything!" he shouted after me. I just made my way home as fast as I could. I was just so glad that no one was home when I got back. I locked the front door behind me and ran up to my room slamming the door behind me. I collapsed on my bed and burst into tears. Once again I'm the one left heart broken. I was genuinely beginning to like Joel. More than a friend as well. I pulled my cover over my head and stuck my headphones in. I hit play for my music and turned the volume up as loud as I could handle without my eardrums almosy bursting. I just couldn't believe he would do that after making a big deal about changing the way he was. I mean he does that, takes me out in the middle of the night to talk, kisses me, doesn't speak to me for a week then I see he has someone new. He can clearly move on quickly. Obviously I meant nothing compared to what he had said that night.

(Joel's Point of View)

I headed back into the house after Joanne walked off. I didn't even know what to think. I hadn't done anything. Not that I was aware of anyway. I headed into the living room where the lads and Aimee were. They'd come up here for the day because they were bored down in London. I found that hard to believe though.

   "You took your time." Adam said when I sat down next to Ry.

   "Uh yeah. Joanne came over." I said. Ryan sat up a bit more clearly now interested in the conversation. See he's the one I've been banging on about Joanne to.

   "And you didn't think to introduce us to her?" he asked, nudging me.

   "She didn't come over to ask me on a fucking date or kiss me mate! She never wants to speak to me again." I said, snapping slightly.

   "How come?" Erin asked softly.

   "I don't even know! I mean I've not done anything. I haven't even had the chance to talk to her since we kissed that night." I explained.

   "Joel, when exactly did she come over?" she asked. I paused and then answered her.

   "Uh just as you headed back in here." I mumbled. All four of them just looked at me with looks that said I should know why. I didn't though. It just wouldn't click at all.

   "Mate, she probably thinks you and Erin have a thing. I mean she's never seen Erin before so it would be natural for her to think that." Andy said. I sighed and threw my head back. How could I be so stupid? It was so obvious now. She must have seen Erin and I in the garden and thought we were together. I mean sure Erin's really pretty but she's Andy's ex and its just Joanne who I want. No one else.

   "Makes so much sense now!" I said. They all just looked at me again. "Uh what?" I asked.

   "Fuck sake man! Go get her! Explain it was just a misunderstanding, that Erin's just a mate. I've listened to you whine and go on about this girl for ages now. I am not about to just watch you give up on her over a stupid misunderstanding." Ryan said. I nodded and stood up, running out the room and the front door. Time to go win back the girl I love.
