A New Beginning • Emmerdale

Chapter 14: "I saw it. I saw it all"

KENNEDY'S POV

"When I first met you, I felt drawn to you. I wanted to stay away, I just couldn't" Joe started grabbing my hands "ever since you walked into my life I knew you were the one, the one who would be able to help me change. You are different" he smiled "you gave me too many chances" he laughed.

"Too right I have" I say seriously, but letting out a little laugh at the end "but seriously Tate, mess up once more and that's it. I'm serious"

"I won't, I promise" he said putting his arm around me pulling me into his side. We sat there in silence for quite a while, just enjoying each other's company without feeling the need to talk. It was quite nice.

**************

I woke up at 8am the next morning which was  quite early for me, I still didn't feel 100% which is what I think was why I woke so early. After me and Joe just cuddled together for a while, we had some food, then I left to come home after saying about how I wasn't feeling well.

"Want to do something in a bit?" Debbie questioned as she leaned against my door frame.

"I would, i just don't feel too good." I shake my head slightly sitting up a little in bed.

"Oh really?" She asked as she walked in and sat at the end of my bed "Whats wrong?"

"I have a headache and I feel a bit sicky" I cringe, us both knowing how much I hate sick.

"I'll go get you some paracetamol, do you want you want anything else?" She have me a sad smile whilst standing up from her spot. I shook my head, not wanting to eat anything yet in case it made me sick. I closed my eyes as she left the room.

A few minutes later, Debbie returns holding a pint glass of water in one hand, and a box of paracetamol in the other. She places them on the bedside table before quietly leaving not wanting to disturb me.

I woke up at 10:30am, looking to my phone and seeing a bunch of messages. I squint my eyes in confusion, I turn the brightness down a little, the screen hurting my eyes as I look at the messages.

'From: Joe

Morning:)'

'From: Joe

Ken?'

'From: Joe

What's happened?!'

I roll my eyes and laugh slightly texting back a quick reply saying I was asleep and that I'm still not feeling great. I put my phone back in the nightstand and take two tablets followed by some water.

The headache soon turned into a migraine, I hadn't moved from my bed all morning. I was so bored to say the least. I get the strength to slowly get up and head downstairs, as an amazing smell of whatever food was being made filled my nostrils, holding my head every now and again when I'd get a sharp pain.

"Hey, What ya making" I smile at her getting a fork ready, feeling absolutely famished.

"The only thing I can cook, spaghetti bolognese" she laughed

"Hope you've made enough for three" I laugh, she turns around and looks at me confused

"Three?"

"Yeah, you, me and me" I laugh "I'm starving" she rolled her eyes laughing.

"I don't know how you can eat so much" she said smirking.

"Neither. I just can" I shrugged.

"How you feeling now?" She asked as she was finishing off with the pasta, placing a generous amount of it on two plates bringing them over to the table i was sat on.
