House of memories Part 2

An: you guys wanted a second part so here you go...

Y/N's POV:
My legs began to slow down aching from the 30 minute sprint I had done but I was a few seconds away from the front of the complex. I was praying they hadn't left yet. I don't know what I would do if they had.

I came to a complete stop as I opened the front door of the complex, I now had to tackle the dreaded stairs. Bloody elevator was broken, of course it was! Without hesitation or even a second to think I hauled myself up the first of many flights.

It was taking while but I got to properly think about this. Was I doing the right thing? Perhaps if get there and they'd be gone, or perhaps they'd see me and tell me to leave. Perhaps they hate me now. Especially Joe. If what Caspar said was true then he most likely doesn't love me anymore. But what if he just told me that so I'd come back, what if Joe doesn't actually love me or never did. What if...

Then I stopped. The tall Raven door loomed over me. This was it I either go in or turn back now. This was my last chance to get away....

But I reached for the door handle and opened it with my key. The lights were off and it was silent. I was too late...
They were gone..
He was gone..

I couldn't help but cry at the thought of how coming home with a girl latched onto him, for him to be so engrossed in her that he'd completely walk straight past me and get it on with the stranger.

I was tired and my body now felt frail. Carelessly I went over to the dining table and sat down holding my head in my hands. The tears continued to cascade from my face as I closed my eyes and saw him..

*flashbacks*
There was Joe stood over me looking concerned, with his hand held out for me. I took it kindly. His grip was firm but gentle and it made me feel safe. But I hardly knew him, we weren't exactly close, so as soon as he helped me up, I began to limp away, saying thank you under my breath.

I suddenly felt his arm drape around my shoulder carefully and before I knew it he had walked me home.

I couldn't help myself. I hugged him tightly and thanked him again for helping me. He said goodbye as I closed the door. I managed to quickly get upstairs, and locked myself in the bathroom. I didn't want to be interrogated by my mum. Not again at least. She didn't have to know. I just splashed water onto my face. It stung but it was refreshing, and I went to bed. I had to tell no one.

Needless to say I was eternally grateful to Joe as the next day the girls who had harassed me were really nice to me and gave me back my money. They stuck up for me and helped me for the rest of our school years and it felt nice.

*end of flash back*
I opened my eyes again. Everything was blurred by the remaining tears in my eyes. The memory reminded me of that time I was being chased around the flat by Caspar and he had managed to trip me up and I collided to the floor. He then charged at me and went to tickle me when Joe came storming in and rugby tackled him off me. He net Caspar downstairs and helped me up. I remember how I felt when I looked at him, and the way I looked at him when he helped me, both then and 13 years ago.

I looked around for a bit to distract myself from the tears. When I saw a stack of photos on the table. They must've been some old ones Caspar found of us three when her went to get his camera before I left. The first one I saw was of me stood in the doorway of the flat grinning like an idiot. This was taken on the day when I first moved into the Jaspar household. It reminded me of that one time..

*flashback*
I heard the bell ring as I sprinted to get it. It was results day and Joe was going to walk with me to school for the final time today. I was already dressed and waiting on the stairs. It was summer so I had my dungaree dress on with a white t-shirt tucked underneath and a thin grey cardigan thrown over the top. My hair was wavy and I had stuck a dainty flower crown on top of it to try and look cute. And finally converse. Joes converse that he left in my bag. I still hasn't given them back and he hadn't realised yet so there was no harm in keeping them for a tiny bit longer right?!
