Sober - {Jemi}

Friends 2

DEMI P.O.V .: There was Joe, standing in front of me with a huge smile and his eyes dampened. I would have liked to run to hug him, but I couldn't, I was furious because he hadn't come on time, and I was disappointed that he hadn't told me that in three months it would be his wedding. I walked to him and slapped him in the face while all the inmates looked at us.

Joe: what did I do now?

Demi: let's go to the patio, we only have a few minutes so please ... don't waste time (it was night so the whole landscape was nicer. We sat on the grass next to each other and I watched him while my eyes were about to burst into tears) you forgot the damn visiting hours

Joe: what? no, of course not Dems ... let me explain

Demi: I hear you

Joe: today I had a concert, I finished a little later than the agreed time and when the plane landed here, it was time to end the visits. I arrived 10 minutes late and they didn't let me see you, so I waited all afternoon until I could see you

Demi: wow

Joe: and you ... you received me with a slap (I laughed and threw myself on him hugging him so we both fell to the grass)

Demi: I'm sorry Joey, this place sometimes affects me a lot ... I'm afraid of losing you again, like last time

Joe: I told you that that will not happen again

Demi: you are the best Joseph

Joe: (We sit down again) Is there something else you should tell me?

Demi: maybe I shouldn't because I'm going to get into trouble but, Sophie sent me your wedding invitation

Joe: what? (he asked puzzled)

Demi: honestly, I had no idea it was so soon

Joe: Demi, I ... I'm sorry, I really didn't know that she would do that

Demi: don't feel bad, there's nothing wrong with loving someone so much to get married

Joe: I don't know if I'm ready to settle

Demi: oh come on, if you are ... you're just afraid

Joe: maybe I didn't explain myself very well; I'm ready to settle down ... but I'm not sure that with her

Demi: How are you not sure you want to settle with her?

Joe: Sophie is not like I thought and there are nights when I see her by my side and I ask myself ... is this what I want for a lifetime?

Demi: I can't understand exactly where you want to go

Joe: I don''t want to marry and then realize that I made a mistake ... she is not you (his words had left me in shock) I mean, I would be sure to marry you in the hypothetical event that happened

Demi: yes, I understand ... it's a pity that we've never worked as a couple

Joe: If we had the opportunity today, would you be my girlfriend again?

Demi: I don't know, maybe ... probably 

Joe: things like that hurt me

Demi: I'm sorry, I didn't want to cause you that

Joe: it's not your fault (he took my hand in his and caressed her) I wish I had not let you go

Demi: me too Joey

Joe: sometimes I miss you ... not physically, but what we had as teenagers

Demi: I share that feeling (I smiled slightly and looked into his eyes)

Joe: I remember that I could protect you from everything, and it was beautiful

Demi: you still do it (we lost one in the other's gaze, we got together until our lips brushed but I pulled away from him) I-I'm sorry

Joe: Demi I-

Demi: no, really, sorry ... we should never get to that point, you have a girlfriend and it wouldn't be fair to her

Joe: wait, I have to tell you something ... it's something I feel

Demi: no, you're thinking with your head confused. Don't say anything now (I got up from the floor and took his hand) it's too late, it's time for you to go

Although at first he resisted leaving, after giving me a big hug, he left promising to return next week.
