Joeys Pov.

"I got a call from Joeys m-" is the last sound of Daniels voice before it faded into the room him and his mom were talking in. They closed the door behind them, leaving me to stare at a blank, wooden door, the other two on the other side.

I stood there, staring at the door, thinking about what came out of his mouth that I didn't hear. I walked over to the couch, turning on the TV trying to forget about it. Its pretty hard. I Turned on the TV and watched whatever came on. The result was some cooking show, but I really didn't care. I didn't even want to watch Tv. I just wanted to think. Think about what they're talking about. I knew it was about me, so I have the right to know, and to ask, but the problem is I don't know how to.

I knew the two were in a separate room, upstairs, door closed, talking about me in private. I knew it had to me important, or maybe even Bad for them to go in private. It cant be Daniel telling him about the relationship, he already told her. It was a phone call from someone I know, the phone call being about me.

I heard foot steps coming down the stairs, and I tried acting natural, like nothing was bothering me at that moment. Daniel and Maria were still mumbling things that was almost inaudible to my ears. They stood in the kitchen, for about five minutes still talking.

I didn't know how to feel. Its another story if it was something about them, but I clearly hear my name come out of his mouth while telling Maria. I didn't know if I should tell them I heard, and wanted to know who the phone call was from.

Once Maria left for her room, most likely to seep because it was 11:30. Once I knew she was gone, I walked into the kitchen and up to Daniel. "what was that about?" I asked, a very stern and concerned look on my face. Daniel went blank, like a ghost was right in front of him. "Uh nothing, Its personal" He said, giving a fake and awkward smile at the end of his sentence. "Personal? That was about ME!" I said, louder than before. "Joey if It was I would tell you." He said, leaving into a hug. "Don't touch me." I said, hitting his arm away. "Tell me right now, who called me?" I said in a quite angry, aggravated tone. "I said its personal" he said, turning to walk away. "IT WAS ABOUT ME!" I Shouted, loud enough for each one of us to hear.

He started to walk up the stairs toward his mothers room. "yea, go to your mommy" I said, only so he could her. "Ha, at least I Have one" he said smiling, going into Marias' room. I stood there, feeling like I was stabbed in the chest. he Knew how much my mom effects me. Thats why he said it. He wanted to get to me. I heard him ask his mom something about Leaving, than coming back downstairs, elbowing me, while walking past me. he was holding a bag, with clothing and other things. He picked up his phone an texted someone.

He stood in the kitchen, on his phone. silent. the whole house was full of an awkward, silence. I stood there watching him stand in silence, for what seemed like years but in reality was was ten minutes. I saw headlights and turned to the window, to see a truck pull in, one of Daniels school friends he told me about. He opened the door, and right as his foot stepped out I said "why." He turned his head a little bit, stopping saying nothing, and walked out of the door.
