Hello There // Joe Goldberg x Reader

Chapter 4

Joes POV

Well here I am, in the basement, with Aaron's body lying in the glass box while his head is bleeding. How did things end up like this? Well, let's go back a few hours.

Time: 10:30 a.m.

After you left the shop, I got a text message, or should I say, you got a text message from Aaron asking if you wanted to hang out tonight. You, being the sweet and kind person you are, agreed. Let's just say, I wasn't too happy and I knew I had to put a stop to this. He texted you, saying he would pick you up around 8. That's when I knew what to do.

(Y/n) POV

Time: 7:30 p.m

You were putting on your earrings when you looked at your clock that was hanging on the wall. It read 7:30, meaning that Aaron will be here to pick you up in 30 minutes. You smiled,  excited to see Aaron. You wondered what he had in plan for you two.

Time: 7:50 p.m.

Just as you were putting mascara on, you heard a grunt from outside your apartment. You looked outside your window but you saw nothing. You shook your head and thought it was probably your imagination

Time: 8:00-10:30 p.m.

30 minutes went by, maybe he was running late? Soon after, an hour went by and then another hour. You were upset and mad to say the least. Why hasn't he shown up? Did he seriously just stood you up? So many questions were running in your mind. You accepted the fact that Aaron wasn't coming. You didn't realize you were crying until a small drop of liquid hit your hand. You wiped your cheeks and decided to change out of your outfit, putting on an oversized sweatshirt and some shorts. Going into bathroom, you took off all your makeup and washed your face.

Time: 11:00 p.m.

After coming out of the bathroom, you got a text from Aaron.

Aaron: I don't think it's ever going to work out between us, sorry not sorry lol

You: what do you mean?
You: Did I do something?
You: Aaron?

At that point, he left you on read and didn't respond. You silently cried before deciding that you should probably rest. You went to bed, with the aching feeling of pain in your chest.

Joes POV

Time 7:50

I looked at my watch and it read 7:50. Aaron should be coming soon and speak of devil, there he was. I was hiding in the alley behind a dumpster. When Aaron came at the right spot, I decided to strike. I took a brick and hit him in the head, hard. He grunted and fell. I made sure no one was around and silently dragged his body in the alleyway. I knew I didn't kill him because he was breathing but he was knocked out. I made sure no one was looking and put him in my cars trunk, which was parked a little bit further from me in the alley.

I then drove to Mooney's and dragged him to the basement, putting him in the glass box. I made sure to get all of his belongings before putting him in the glass box. I wondered if you were still waiting for him and decided to just end things between the two of you. Surprisingly, he didn't have a passcode on his phone. What an idiot. I then texted you on his phone and ended things.

Aaron: I don't think it's ever going to work out between us, sorry not sorry lol

You: what do you mean?
   You: Did I do something?
You: Aaron?

Your replies to him broke my heart and I knew his breaking news broke yours. But this was Aaron that broke your heart, not me. I would never break your heart and don't worry (y/n), I'll be there to fix it soon. But for now, I'm gonna have to deal with this idiot. Although, I do wonder to myself,

Is this all really worth it?
