chapter 15

IVY'S POV
*i scream as the random person picks me up. not being able to see who it is, scares the crap out of me. they cover my mouth and i jerk around being scared.*

joey- baby its okay. it's just me.

ivy- promise?

joey- i promise.

ivy- you scared me.

joey- i'll make it up to you.

ivy- howww?

*i pout and joey frowns. i cup his face to turn his face into a smile as i start to giggle. i wrap my arms around him tightly and feel him hug back. i'm acting like i'm okay, which i somewhat am, but i need my sister back.*

joey- baby.

ivy- yeah?

joey- i know you miss her. she's going to get better.

ivy- it's almost been a month..

joey- i know, i know. on a good note, i tried making you breakfast.

ivy- you didn't burn the house down?! good job!

joey- bully.

ivy- you love me.

joey- yes i do.

ivy- and i love you.

joey- yes you do.

ivy- cocky much.

*we both laugh softly before i walk into the kitchen, leaving joey behind me. i grab a plate and put my food on it before sitting down at the counter. i watch joey scoop up his food. i never knew i could find someone so perfect. i get taken out of my thinking when i hear my phone ringing. i rush over to it thinking it could be the hospital and it was. i answer quickly*

ivy- hello?

hospital- hi, is this ivy?

ivy- yes that's me.

hospital- we have some news on your sister.

ivy- what is it? is she okay?

*joey walks over to me and intertwines our fingers. he starts rubbing his thumb over my knuckles. i lay my head on his chest as i listen to the lady on the phone.*

hospital- it's been almost a month. i'm sorry but she passed.

ivy- no..

hospital- im so sorry sweetie. she tried holding on the best she could.

ivy- thank you...

*i hang up the phone and put my face in joey's chest. i start to cry softly, now knowing my only sister is dead. joey wraps his arms around me and i start to cry harder. i lost everything. my parents. my sister. i don't have a family anymore. i only have joey. i can feel my chest to start getting tighter as i cry harder.*
