Everything, Joey

9

Today I fly home , my mom is worried sick.
Joey and I get on the plane and we don't speak for the whole journey.
We get in Uber and I finally break the silence,
'Joey ?' I say looking at him worried.
.'Yeah?' He says turning to me.
' do you believe in love?' I ask.
He frowns, ' of course I do ... she's right in front to me' he smiles as he says it.
How did I ever get this lucky? Why does Joey love me?
I hug him as the car is slowly stops in front of my house.
' I love you and thank you' he says before getting out the car and going back into his house.
I get out after him, ' Joey wait' I say as he turns around.
I kiss him softly, just in case... That it's the last time I kiss him.
The kiss lasts about 2 minutes.
I pull away and look at him a sadly , ' this isn't the last ' he says whispering placing a hand on my cheek.
I smile a lil as he takes his hand off my cheek walking into his house.
I thank the uber driver as I take my stuff ringing the doorbell.
My mom immediately answers and opens the door quickly before pulling me inside, ' my baby!!! Are you alright !?' She says looking at me worriedly.
'Y-yes I'm fine' I say quickly.
I look at her as her face grows pale, she is staring at my neck...
I turn to the mirror and see a hickey.
That's it my life is over. Goodbye world.
' did you do it?' She says not looking at me.
' no mom, we didn't go that far' I say looking down.
There was about a one minute awkward silence.
'Just get inside' , she mumbles and I do as I was told.
I went straight up to my room and jump on the bed.
I get a message from Joey.
Joey messages:
Joey: I miss your lips already :(
Me: I'm missing you already :(
Joey: I really want to see you again
Me: I doubt my mom is gonna let me
-
' maya come here for a minute please ' my mom yells from downstairs.
I disconnect from our messages and walk down the stairs looking at her.
She has a serious look on her face and as I can tell, this isn't gonna be good.
' sit ' she demands as I sit across the counter from her.
' maya you need to stop seeing this boy ' she says holding her hands together.
' why mom? He makes me happy ' I say frowning. Why does she want to take away my happiness ?
' because maya it's best for you, he's just going to break your heart by going off with another girl. He's not going to want to date a sick girl who has to stay inside for the rest of her life. Think about it !! Maya you have to stop seeing this boy it's not good for you' she says looking me in the eye.
She's right. Joey is soon going to move on to someone else and not even remember who I am, I'll just be at the back of his mind named the sick girl who I liked.
I don't say anything as I get up and walk back up to my room.
I sit at the window still looking out at joeys driveway imagining him pulling up in the driveway with some beautiful lucky blonde girl with blue eyes flirting the shit outta him.
Smiling and twirling her hair and leaning in for a passionate kiss as he kisses back.
And worst of all seeing how he has moved on, from loving me.
I get down from the window still and immediately text him.
He reply within seconds.
Joey messages :
Me: Joey
Joey: maya
Me: we need to stop seeing each other.
Joey: what? Maya what did I do!?
Me: Joey you just need to move on ,
-
My messages get interrupted by a phone call, I answer,
Joey call:
Me: Joey please
Joey: maya I don't know what I did wrong I-I love you so much I'm never going to let go of you okay!!?
Me: Joey ! Look! You someday are gonna have a girlfriend who isn't sick, who doesn't stay in the house for the rest of her life, who can have kids, get married, have a family...
Joey: and I don't care about those things right now. I care about you maya...
Me: just stop. I don't want to see you anymore okay! I'm doing what's best for us...
- call ended-
Saying those words hurt so freaking bad.
I tear rolls down my cheek as I block joeys contact number and lay back in bed,
It's true I don't want my heartbroken ... Even though I don't blame him for not wanting to date me.
After a few tears my eyes become heavy as I fall into a sleep.

( dream )
' Lauren I've wanted to ask this for a long time and I really really love you... Ever since the day I met you ' Joey says as he holds both of her hands looking down the beautiful girls eyes.
She smiles so perfect it makes my heart hurt even more.
I watch as he gets on one knee looking up at her.
I can't hear what he's saying anymore because of how loudly my heart beats...
She jumps up and down smiling and hugs him tightly.
If only that was me..
He leans in kissing her like its the last time he's going to kiss her,
Tears form in my eyes as everything becomes a blur until the rolls down my cheek.
I can see now Joey looking at me still disappointment in his face from the day I told him to leave me alone.. I might not of seeing his reaction but I felt it.
He walks away with the beautiful girl smiling which wasn't a fake smile for sure

' hello?' I say a little quietly into the phone...
