Chapter 16: "It'll be even worse when she finds out about you and Joe"

*A Few Days Later*

THIRD PERSON POV

Kennedy was sat at Debbie's kitchen table, a plate of food in front of her which she had yet to touch. Her head was resting on her hand and her leg was bobbing up and down, biting the inside of her cheek.

"Not hungry?" Debbie questioned whilst pouring herself a glass of water. Kennedy snaps  out of her thoughts as she makes eye contact with Debbie.

"Not really" She stats poking the food with her fork before dropping it back on the table, slouching back in her chair.

"Heard Joe's Home" Debbie trails off sitting opposite Kennedy, Debbie is given an eye roll in response.

"What about it?" Kennedy says blandly as if she couldn't care.

"I'm sure he wants to see you?" Debbie said in a 'Duh' tone. Kennedy shakes her head before standing up.

"I'm going to the pub, to see mum" Kennedy says the last part of the sentence quieter. Debbie looks at her shocked.

"Finally. Too sort things out?" She questioned.

"The last couple of days, I have kind of sorted things out with her" Kennedy smiled, but it didn't last long before it faded "she told me she doesn't want me to see Joe again, after what he did to our family. Not that's it's a problem now, but she doesn't want us to sort thing out" Kennedy rambled. Debbie gave her a look of sympathy.

"Look, as I've said, I may not trust Joe completely yet, I can tell he really cares about you. At the end of the day it's your decision" Debbie had gotten up from her seat and placed her hand on Kennedy's shoulder.

"Well I'm still mad at him, so at least I don't have to worry about mum getting annoyed at me just yet" she smiles before heading out and too the pub.

*At Home Farm*

Joe walks to the doors of Home Farm after hearing them open, seeing Noah running in. Before Joe could speak Noah engulfs Joe in a huge hug, taking Joe by surprise.

"You're okay?!" Noah asked frantically.

"Yes, a little sore and a headache. Other than that, I'm good" Joe smiles ruffling Noah's hair before they both head to the sofa.

KENNEDY'S POV

After me and Charity had patched things up, which happened quicker than I had thought, I headed back home, getting my keys out guessing Debbie was out as the door was locked.

I made myself comfortable on the sofa kicking my shoes off, placing my feet on the table switching the TV on, shoving a bunch of crisps in my mouth. Not long after the door flew open and Noah came straight in.

"Debbie's out" I say my eyes staying glued to the TV.

"I'm here to talk to you actually" he shot me a cheeky smile before sitting next to me, turning off the TV.

"Hey! I was watching that" I said with a mouth full of crisps.

"And I need to talk to you" He says in the same tone as me.

I was struggling to take in everything Noah was saying all I was hearing was him talking about how bad Joe was wanting to see me blah blah, because I saved his life blah.

"He wants to see you, I mean, you saved his life" he smiled sweetly. I gritted my teeth.

"Right, come on" I say as I walk us both out of the house, locking it behind us. Me and Noah split as he heads towards town, and I head to Home Farm. I walk straight in to find Joe sitting on the sofa, his eyes go wide when he sees me.
