JOEY'S POV
*i stare at the pill bottle and freeze. why didn't she tell me?*

jen- what's wrong joey?

jen- joey!

joey- sorry what?

jen- why did you freeze?

joey- just.. look.

*i turn the bottle towards her so she can read the label. her face goes from confused to soft.*

jen- did you know about these?

joey- no, i don't even know if they're hers or her sisters

jen- go talk to her, i'll keep looking through them

*i nod and jog upstairs. ivy was in her bedroom so i knock on the door.*

ivy- who is it?

joey- it's me

ivy- come in me

*i hear her giggle as i open the door and walk in. as i walk in, she walks over to her bed and lays down. shes wearing blue shorts with a white top and her hair is wet and brushed. i lay down next to her and kiss her cheek. i smile big , earning a smile back. i grab her hand, holding it in both of mine and look at her. her face softens as she looks at me.*

ivy- what's wrong j?

joey- did you have anxiety and anti-depressant pills? that might've been too straight forward but i saw them and i need to know..

ivy- don't hate me..

joey- baby, id never be able to hate you

ivy- they're mine.

*i dont say anything to her. i look at her and hug her tight. i play with her hair and hear her sniffle. i made her cry. no no no.*

joey- are you okay baby?

ivy- i-i'm fine..

joey- i didn't mean to make you cry i promise.

ivy- i know you didn't joey

*she takes my face in her hands and rubs my cheeks with her thumb. i take a deep breath and watch her as she calms down. i pick her up, putting her in my lap and i start to rub her legs. she lays her head on my chest and grabs one of my hands. i intertwines our fingers and kiss her hand. she giggles and looks up at me, causing me to smile at her.*

joey- god you're my favorite human ever

ivy- my boy

joey- only yours

ivy- promise?

joey- i promise buttt only if you promise that you're only my girl

ivy- i promise

*she laughs softly and turns her face away. i pout and kiss her cheek a bunch. i see her cheeks get a tint of pink and i start to tickle her waist.*
