I stand in the kitchen with my phone in my hand.
The photo is still on the screen.
I zoom in, trying to see who it is.
Oh...
Thank god.
It's not Joe.
I don't care if it could be, I'm going to tell myself it's not because I need him. I want to know he's mine. That sound possessive, I know. But seriously, if you're in love with someone, you need to have them with you because they enter your thoughts as frequently as you blink or breath. It's sort of become normal to think of him.
I click my phone off and put it in my pocket when it starts ringing.
It's an Australian ID so I answer.
'Hello?' I say.
'Emmy!' I hear my brothers strong accent cheer through.
'Tim-Tim!' I reply happily. His name is actually Timothy but I call him Tim-Tim as he calls me Emmy. Somethings we used to do when we were younger.
'How are you lil' bro?' I tease. He hates how he's younger than me, because it's only by a week and three days.
I can practically see his eyes roll to the back of his head.
'Yeah yeah, only by a week!' He retorts.
'And three days.'
His laugh is slightly muffled but it's his and I realise how much I miss it, a pang going through my body.
'Listen Emmy umm... Mum wants you back.' His tone now slightly more serious.
'What? Why?'
'She says she can't keep paying for everything. You need to come back.' Timothy says.
(A/N: Timothy is Robbie Kay (person up there) & Oncers will know how hot he is as Peter Pan ;) he is British and so is Lily Collins but oh well - I'm a rebel )
'No! I'm not coming back!' I say defiantly. Timothy sighs and I raise an eyebrow, I know he can't see me but I don't care.
'Emma, you have to. She's already bough you a ticket home, your flights on Monday. And she said if you didn't come back she stop putting money in your bank account.'
I squeeze my eyes shut, thinking through the possibilities.
'Tim-Tim, ask mum if she'll let me bring someone else too.' I ask.
'Okay...' He says.
'Thank you Tim-Tim, I love you!' I say.
'You too..' He says embarrassed.
I laugh and hang up.
'Who was that?' Joe asks coming in to the kitchen.
'My brother - Timothy. Joe there's something I need to tell you..' I look at the ground.
'Shoot.'
'Well my mum want me to go back. And I have to otherwise she'll stop supplying money for me.'
Joe goes silent.
'I promise I will be with you through it all. We could have a long distance relationship and Skype and I'll come over for your birthday and stay for a week and-' Joe begins, but I cut him off.
'Joe I want you to come with me.'
