Only you (A ThatcherJoe/ Youtuber fanfic)

Joe Flashback Special Part 2

Joe's POV:

My dad had left a few hours ago and now I was just laying here. Clueless as to what to do with myself.

"Come in." I said as there was a knock at the door. "Hiya." My cousin Sam entered. "How come you're here?" I asked. "Your dad sent me. He didn't know whether to face you or not so he sent me so you're not alone. What happened?" She came to hug me. "We had a big argument about him not being there for me. I guess you know why I'm here..." I spoke. "Yeah. I'm sorry to hear about that Joe." She sympathised and I just sighed. "Anyway, how are you feeling?" She asked. "Okay, I guess. I'm a little worn out and have a bad throat, that's all. Has dad told Zoe? Mum?" I asked.  "No I don't think so. I can ask but if he had, i'm sure they would have visited by now." She admitted. 

"I guessed." I sighed once again and we engaged into deeper conversation. "I wanna live with mum." I blurted out suddenly. "Why?" She questioned. "New school, just my mum. She doesn't need to know about this and I never have to talk about this again." I continued. "I'll ask her if you like. I won't tell her though, don't worry." She suggested. "Thank you Sam." I hugged her. "There's just one more thing..." She admitted worriedly. "Your dad wants to send you to a clinic. A centre where you stay because he's worried about you and he can't keep an eye on you all the time if you go home." "But what about mum's?" I asked panicking slightly. "I'll talk to him about it for you." She offered.

"I can't believe him. He can't control my life anymore! I'm 15. I need to do what's right for me and live with mum. I just can't go back to dad's or that school. I just can't..." "Excuse me one second Joe." She smiled and headed out to take a call. "Okay so I just got off the phone with your dad...he doesn't want you to live with your Mom. At least not yet. He wants to get you help. He's on his way to talk about it with you now." She explained. "Doesn't he understand?! I don't want to talk about it. I want to live with mom and never speak to him again!" I shouted. "I understand, but he doesn't. You'll find a way Joe. Do you want me to stay or go?" She asked. "Please stay with me Sam? I don't want to face him alone. He stresses me out too much." I sighed and she nodded.

"Dad i'm not going! End of! You can't control my life anymore. I'm living with Mom and that's the end of it!" I shouted. "Really? When was this agreed? Have you asked your mother?" He asked. Laughing slightly. "Sam asked earlier and she agreed." I lied. "And what if she asks? Finds out hmm? What then?!" He shouted. "I'll tell her. But not now. When the times right, just get out of my life and stay there!" I shouted and he stormed out once again.

"Ugh! Why did he find me?  Why did he have to find me? I'd be better off dead! Everyone would. I'm just there, no one wants me and no one likes me. What's the point?" I cried into Sam's arms. "Shh, that's not true and you know that." She tried to soothe me. 

"Mom won't even answer my calls. I've tried. But what am I supposed to do Sam? I can't go back to dad's? I get released tomorrow." I sighed. I wasn't wanted. "How about you come with me. We go to your dad's to collect your things then drive to your Mom's? Explain." I smiled and nodded. "Okay got some rest. You have my number if you need me and i'll be back in the morning for you." She kissed my forehead. "I'm not 4!" I laughed. "But thanks Sam."  

"Good morning Sam." I smiled as she entered my room. "Morning. You ready?" She asked.  "Yeah just need to get some medication from them." I smiled and she nodded. "Right now Joe. These must be kept with your parent or guardian. Will this be this young lady?" The nurse asked and Sam shook her head. "I'm taking him to his Mom's." Sam smiled. "Okay, 1 every day and these... they're sleeping tablets. One a night, just try to sleep most of the time for the first couple of days. Does your Mom know? I haven't seen her come to see you." He asked. "No, not yet. She will soon though. Obviously." I commented. "Okay well here you go and if there's any problems, down hesitate to contact me." He smiled and me and Sam thanked him as we headed to Sam's car. "Have you spoke to her yet?" I asked Sam. "Nope but she has to take you in you could have died." She admitted and guilt rushed over me.
