chapter 12

a/n- this will be depressing.

Emma Pov: I was upstairs in my room when I heard yelling. I got out of bed to see what was going on.

when I quietly stepped into the hallway.

Daniel: your always so busy you never have time for me anymore!

joey: that's not true Daniel. YouTube is my Job!

Daniel: and then your always around Emma, you never talk to me anymore

Joey: shes my daughter, just as much as she is yours

Daniel: sometimes I wish I didn't have a child, I wish it was just you and me again!!

Joey: Daniel!!! careful what you say!!

my heart broken. Daniel never loved me. he never wanted me.

with tears streaming, I go back to my room and take all of the clothes out of the closet, throwing them into a bag. I grab my phone and my charger. I also left a note on the bed.

"I heard everything. im sorry I was such a burden. go back to your old lives before I fucked everything up. ill be ok."

I go out to my padio and climb down the stairs to the backyard.

I run away as fast as I could. I then called the one person I trusted. Colleen.

colleen: hey girlie is everything ok??

Emma: No! Daniel said he never wanted me!

Colleen: were he and Joey fighting?

Emma: yes. please come get me. im a few yards away from their house.

Colleen: ok, im heading out right now.

I waited for colleens car, crying my eyes out.

when she pulled up to me, I open the passengers door, throwing my bag into the backseat.

colleen leans over and pulls me into a hug.

"Im so sorry Emma"

"C-can I stay with you for a few days?"
"as long as you need."

when we got back to colleens. I collapsed in colleens arms while she hugged me.

I continued crying my eyes out.

then my phone started vibrating over and over again. 7 texts from Daniel and 4 From Joey.

"I got it Emma, go set your stuff in the guest bedroom."

as I walked to her guest room I heard colleen on the phone.

"Yes she is here, but I told her she could stay as long as she needed. shes really upset with what you said.." then she paused. "Ok but she will want to stay here. I allow her too.. ok see you soon"

Daniel pov: Joey and I were fighting again when I yelled "sometimes I wish I didn't have a child. I wish it was just you and me again" I then realized what I said.

Joey and I cooled down, I decided to go talk to Emma, praying she didn't hear a thing, because I didn't mean it at all.

when I got to her room, she wasn't there. on her bed was a note.

"I heard everything. im sorry I was such a burden. go back to living your old life before I fucked everything up. ill be fine."

I broke down. she heard me yell. I didn't mean it at all. I yelled for Joey and he came rushing up the stairs. I held the note up. he grabbed it and read it. he collapsed onto his knees in tears.

"Where is she Daniel?!" "I don't know!!"

we decided Colleen would be our first choice.

colleen told us Emma wanted to stay with her, but I wanted her home. in my arms.

Joey and I got in the car and drove to Colleens.

Emma Pov: Colleen knocked on the bedroom door and opened it.

"hey... just wanted to let you know your dads are on their way. Daniel wants to apologize. I think you should give him a chance.."

my heart dropped. "Daniel said what he said. he said he wish he never had me." she frowns. "I know. but still... give Daniel a chance. when he gets angry he says shit he doesn't mean. he didn't mean to target you and make you feel bad."

then the doorbell rang. colleen got up and I slam the door shut behind her. I fall back onto the bed in tears.

seconds later the door opens again and im pulled into someones arms. Daniels.

I move backwards. terrified. scared. Daniel looks heartbroken.

"Emma.. I am so sorry. I never meant to say I never wanted you. I never meant it. I was just mad. I know what I said. I never meant for you to feel unwanted. I was angry. I love you and I love Joey. your my princess. please forgive me."

all I could do was fall into his chest. sobbing. my heart still broken but what Daniel said made me feel slightly better. "I- I love you dad" he and Joey surround me in a hug, where as all I could do was sob the rest of the pain away.

I decided to go home with them. when we got home. Daniel goes to get out of the car.

"D-Dad?" I said quietly.

he looks over to me. "Yes princess?"

"you said you wish you didn't have a child. do you still mean that?"

his eyes teary. he grabs my hand and looks me in the eyes. "Absolutely not. I love you so much. I never meant to say that. I was angry. I didn't know what I was saying. im so so sorry Emma"

I nod my head and we walk in. I head to my room shutting my door, falling onto my bed. tears fall down my cheeks.

a few minutes later someone knocks on my door. "W-who is it?"

I heard Joeys response. "C-come in"

Joey opens the door and walks into my room shutting it behind him.

"Hey Emm.. you alright?"

I nod, wiping some of the tears away. he pulls me into a hug. "You sure your ok?" I shrug my shoulders. "you know Daniel loves you right?" more tears fall and I bury my face in Joeys chest. I start coughing and hyperventilating trying to stop crying. Joey rubs my back. "Shhhhh its okay Emm, let it out"

then someone else knocks on my door. Daniel.

he walks in, looks at me and then gives joey a guilty look.

he walks over to me, pulling me into his arms, holding me tight. all I could do was sob. I clung onto him.

"Im so sorry Emm, im so sorry. please stop crying. im so sorry"

"I love you dad, never let me go"

"I wont Emm. I wont. I love you"

we spent the rest of the day, him holding me, while I clung to him. cuddled up with the people I call my parents.
