Tahlia's p.o.v
"So what should we do today"? Austin looks at me as I shrug.
" I don't mi-" i get cut off by a knock at the front door.
" I'll get it" I shrug as Austin follows behind me as we walk to the bottom of the stairs and open the door to see... Joey.
" Who are you" Austin asks as Joey looks at me.
" I'm uh Joey" He shrugs as Austin's looks at him with anger.
"... Tahlia can I talk to you" Joey looks at me as Austin sarcastically laughs.
" You surely cannot" Austin tries to shut the door as I stop him.
" Austin it's okay, I got it" I give him a reassuring smile as he nods and I shut the door behind me.
" Tahlia.. I still like you.. I have for 3 years" Joey huffs as I give him an annoyed look.
" What the fuck, why wouldn't you have told me that 3 years ago"!? I huff in annoyance.
" Because I'm running out of time" He sighs.
" Don't play dumb Joey, Why are you only telling me now"? I roll my eyes.
" Because, Tahlia I'm running out of days"! Joey growls.
" What the hell is that supposed to mean" I huff.
" Tahlia, I'm dying" Joey's voice cracks as I look up at him into his eyes.
" Don't say that" I tremble back in shock trying to comprehend what has just happened.
" I have coronary heart disease" Joey gently smiles.
" W-what, Why are you smiling"!? I look shocked at him as my eyes begin to fill with tears.
" Because, I was lucky enough to be able to find you again, before I leave" Joey gently smiles as I walk closer to him and hug him. For an hour we discuss why there is no way to stop the disease, he tells me about how he has travelled the world and seen so many things... It was like we never tore apart.
" So.. will you, may you please spend my last few months with me"? He gently holds onto my hand as I smile at him with hope.
" Of coarse I will" I smile as I rest my head on his shoulder.
" I don't want your sympathy Tahls" Joey sniffles as I slowly nod my head.
" I understand" I sigh.
" I love you.. alot" He mumbles under his breath as I act like I didn't hear it.
" H- How.. how many days do you have left"? I dread looking up to him as he sniffles.
" 3 months they said" He shrugs.
" Okay... well let's not waste it then" I stand up holding his hand, trying to be the most positive I can, also at the same time having to deal with the fact he is dying.
" Well, where do we start"? Joey gently chuckles as I think.
" You've always wanted to go to Hawaii"! I grin as he smiles.
" Okay, so what, are we going to Maui"? He grins as I nod.
" We'll leave tomorrow" I nod.
