Falling In The Wrong Direction

Breaking The News To Caspar

Emma's P.O.V

I'm Emma and I'm 20 and my birthday is on the 2nd of December, I HAD a boyfriend called Alfie before this happened....

It' s been a long night! I felt like I could do no other than phone Caspar, he's the only one I can trust. My boyfriend decides he' s gonna go out to a pub and find another woman. Well I just hope she knows what she's letting herself in for! He left at 7:00pm and at 1:00am I had heard nothing from him, so I rang him. The worst mistake I could have ever made. He answered so at least I knew he was okay, but he was with another girl! I asked who she was and he said her name was Sara and he was back at her house so not to worry about him getting home. Out of fear I asked "Are you and her a thing?" Raising his voice a little he answered "I'm not sure but we could be" It was not official that they were together but it seemed like he wasn't bothered about hurting me, the one who he said he loved! I hung up the phone and slammed it down on my bed. I started sobbing my heart out into my pillow, why should I be the one feeling bad. Honestly, I didn't want to talk to anyone but I knew Caspar would be mad with me for not telling him because we were so close. My finger was getting closer and closer to the button to dial Caspar, until I pressed it and then I had made a commitment and couldn't back out now. Tears started to form in my eyes, he wasn't picking up! Until he did, I had a sigh of relief. "I don't know what to do Caspar, I need you to come round as quick as you can! I need your help." I said to him, begging him to come round to mine. "You were lucky my phones not on silent, I'll be there as quick as I can" He said with a worried expression.

Caspar's P.O.V

I'm Caspar and I'm Emma's older brother. I'm 21 and single. My birthday is on the 24th of August.

I really want to know if Emma's okay and I need to get there as soon as I can! She's relying on me for help. She always goes to Alfie for help so I'm worried somethings happened between them. Unless he's just out with his mates and she knows I won't be because I don't drink. Anyway, whenever she does need me I'm there, like the time when Alfie was at the pub the other night and she locked herself out the house. I know that's no big deal but I have a feeling that tonight is a very big deal. I mean, she phoned me at 2:30am! Anyway, I'm off to go and attempt to 'help' her, I'll do my very best. "Might see you later Joe, I'm off to Emma's, it's an emergency." I said to Joe (who was wide awake on his Xbox still) I said it as quick as I could before I ran outside and jumped in my car. "Good luck, hope she's okay, see you soon." He said with his head in the TV screen.

Joe's P.O.V

I'm Joe and I share a house with Caspar. I'm 24 and we met through YouTube. My birthday is on the 8th of September. I'm also single.

I need to get over there and see if Emma is okay! She's my best friend's sister and I need to be there too. I'm gonna leave it 30 mins and then go over to see if they're okay, then all the crying bit will be over because I'm not very good at dealing with extreme emotions.

Emma's P.O.V

Caspar's car has just turned up outside, thank God! I rush to the front door and yank it open as fast as I can, flinging my arms round Caspar and bursting into tears."What's happened?" Caspar said. "Alfie, it's Alfie, he's cheated!" I said fuming....

Caspar's P.O.V

I knew it! As soon as she phoned me for help I knew something was going on. My sister is going through so much and there is hardly anything I can do, just try and make her feel better. I really thought Alfie was the one for her. Obviously not! I can't believe what he has done, he better watch out....

Joe's P.O.V

I'm on my way to see them. Caspar text me saying 'It's Alfie, just like I thought. The cheater!' to let me know what was going on which made me want to go round even sooner. I was almost there when I saw him, it was Alfie! He had just come out of a house on the street I was on, and he was with the other woman. I didn't want him to see or recognise me so I looked away, but still looking at the road ahead. I heard my name being shouted, it was clear he was shouting me, it was 2:50am and there was no one else on the road. I didn't dare look, he wouldn't have remembered tonight anyway from all the drinks!

Emma's P.O.V

Caspar warned me that Joe may turn up at any minute because he was up and wouldn't want to miss anything. I casually said "Whatever." I didn't mean it in a horrid way, I was just in a trans and was thinking about how this had even happened. My whole body had turned numb from how hard the situation hit me. I couldn't cry any more, I had no tears left and its only been almost 2 hours since I found out. Like Caspar said, Joe did turn up and gave me the biggest heart warming hug anyone had ever gave me, I felt like I belonged with these 2. Joe said "Hey, you okay Em?" whilst giving me a nudge on the arm with his elbow.

Joe's P.O.V

'Hey, you okay Em'? What the fuck was I thinking. Course she's not okay! She's going through a massive trauma, the answer gave me the impression that that was a stupid question. The answer was "NO, I am NOT okay. This is the worst night of my life!" I knew that was coming. She's gonna think you're a complete dick now Joe, well done. I tried to take our mind off of that question and asked "Do you want a drink of hot chocolate or something?" And she replied "Yes please, hot chocolate, but no toppings"

Emma's P.O.V

Every time I said his name I burst into tears, maybe I wasn't as numb as I thought. I lay there for a while, with my head resting in Caspar's lap, my eyes closed, trying my hardest to stop the tears from flowing. When Joe came back with the hot chocolate we all sat down and I said that Caspar could tell Joe the story of what happened and after that, I didn't want his name mentioned. We were finished.

Caspar's P.O.V

We were all sat there together with a blanket on us slowly falling to sleep, until....

Joe decided to tell us what happened on the way here so Alfie could be heading this way with the other girl. By this time, luckily, Emma was asleep. I prayed inside my head that he wouldn't turn up! If he turned up at the door the door bell would wake Emma up, we'd have to tell her who it was and then she'd freak out. It'd just make matters worse! We were all super lucky, they didn't come to the door all night and we all fell asleep at about 4:30am.

Joe's P.O.V

I had to tell them, well, at least tell Casper. I was lucky that Emma fell asleep and we were even luckier for Alfie and his new lass not to turn up. We all fell asleep and i'm praying a 'happy ever after', but things would have to change....
