Joe paced the apartment alone and eventually texted Caleb.
🗨J: Going out. Be home by 11
🗨C: You better beg. You don't deserve her.
He wanted to tell him off, but he was right. Joe didn't deserve her. He never had, but it wouldn't stop him from wanting her. He had never been to her apartment, but she had told him where it was. He needed to convince her he was her soft place and not to push him away.

Ella had no choice but to let Ava in. She knew her sister, and she would never give up.
Ava's eyes scanned Ella taking in her sweatpants and oversize t-shirt. It was Joe's, but Ava wouldn't know. Her eyes lingered on the ice cream.
When Ava finally spoke, she said, "What's he done to you?"
Ella said, "What? Like you don't know."
"You can pretend and lie, but I know the truth. I know Joe Walch is back and working at your school."
"So." Ella didn't want to talk about Joe. She wanted to talk about Ava and Tony.
"So the man broke you and now you have to see him at work."
"How do you know he's back?"
"Because I googled him. You've been acting strange, and then I saw him and you lied to me last week, so I googled him."
"Maybe, I've been acting strange because you've been lying to me!" Ella was angry.
Ava's eyes widened. "What?"
So she could google Joe, but Ella wasn't smart enough to know about her and Tony.
"I know you're the mystery girlfriend. How long have the two of you been lying to me? Since September at least."
"Joe Walch told you, didn't he? You've known for over a month?"
"No, he kept it from me, too. He finally told me this week, because I was upset Tony was staying for a girl who was too good to want to meet me. You're my sister and he's my best friend. You lied to me... both of you."
