It Started With A Photo | Mitchel Cave

Emma's POV (TRIGGER WARNING, SENSITIVE CONTENT)

"Angeline was probably my first true love, i mean i had other relationships before her but she made me feel....alive" He let out a deep sigh and looked back out the window. "We started dating 3 years ago, we were only 18 at the time, we did every thing together and i really, really thought she was the one, but about seven months ago is when it all fell apart, she got me into hard drugs and..." I could see the tears forming in his eyes. I scooted closer to him tangled our fingers together and he continued "We started getting into fights every day and she became more distant, and then one night i walked in on her with two other guys and i broke it off right there.." the first tear trickled down his cheek and i held his hand a little tighter,"But one night, after i thought i was over her, i saw her while walking home with some guy and all of those memories came back, later that night i overdosed on heroin and ended up in the hospital, then rehab for a month and a half, but if it weren't for the guys... I'd probably be dead" he lets out a sigh and his tears were more frequent. "M-Mitchel" my words come out as a whisper. "Its ok. You don't have to say anything" he wipes his eyes. I sigh "Listen, I've been through bad breakups, nothing like this, but i still know how bad it hurts. And the one thing i have to say to you is she doesn't deserve you, you are sweet, and kind hearted and she doesn't deserve to have that, and you...you deserve so much better than her". He tilts his head to look at me, after a couple seconds of just staring at each other until he pulls me into a hug. We just stayed there like that for about two minutes until Mitchel's phone rang. He backed away sniffling and wiping his eyes before answering the phone.

The phone call was short, "That was Clinton, i totally forgot we had a interview today, i got to go but ill text you" he sighs. "Yeah...Ill see you later" he kisses me on the cheek and rushed out the door. I was kinda left speechless, i didn't know he did hard drugs and i didn't think the story was that bad but i shook off my thoughts and continued on with my day.

It was a sunny Saturday and i was doing my normal editing and answering emails until i get a call from Mitchel,

E- oh my god, no way

M- yes way

E- i-i-i mean i have to plan and see if im free and-

M- hey, hey calm down, you'll figure it out. i gotta go but ill talk to ya later.

After he hung up the phone i threw it on the couch and did a little happy dance because i was so excited, i've heard about warped tour before, and i like that kind of music so i hope everything works out.

I sighed and flipped my phone to the other ear, ive been on hold with a bunch of different people, for hours, trying to work out a schedule for this summer. I ended up changing some jobs and just canceling some and hung up, i got another call and almost screamed until i saw it was Mitchel, i had been texting him all day about my stress because he is a very good listener, "hey em" his voice was calm and soothing, "hey' i sighed and rubbed my eyes. "i have a surprise for you just open your door" he said quickly and hung up, i scoffed and trotted to the door. Behind the door Mitchel was standing holding roses and he had a cheeky smile across his face. I couldn't help but let out a little laugh but i was also very happy at the gesture. He gave me the roses and pulled me into a hug. I closed the door and walked to the kitchen searching for a vase, "so i know you've been having some trouble with all of you clients so me and Riley wanted to help you out" he said while sitting down in a bar stool in front of the counter. "what did you guys do" i question. "Riley found a photographer to take the jobs that you had to cancel and your still gonna get half the profit" my jaw dropped open at his words, i felt the crushing stress lift from my shoulder and i let out a happy sigh. I walked around the counter and pulled him into another hug "thank you" i said with my head buried in his neck. "No problem" he replied.

this one is a little shorter but ill have a longer one up in awhile, updates are going to be less often because of school but im trying :)
