You & I... Joe Goldberg

Chapter 3: My wait. (His POV)

It has been 18 days, Callie. Where are you? All your profiles are private, and I don't wanna follow you. I'll seem like a creep, right? Will you ever come back to Mooneys? Please come back, Callie. Please. I check your profiles' everyday. Making sure your posts don't go up. Your tweets have me anxious. 2 a day, and sometimes 3 if we're lucky. But I can't see it. You're private. Why? You really didn't seem like the type that is private, you seemed out going, like beck. I know you didn't want the attention, but you needed it. Beck. Beck she wanted everything. Every little bit she could get. And I provided the things she needed, but she still didn't have enough. Do you know what that means? It meant that she was selfish. And you wanting me to wait is also selfish. I know nothing about you, Please come back, Callie.

The bells jingle and I quickly looked up. Charlotte? Im sorry, Callie. You probably don't know her. Me and Charlotte dated. She was everything to me. She hurt me, and I knew I couldn't do the same. I spared her. If not she would've been dead. Do you know how she hurt me? She cheated. She cheated with her high-school sweet heart. I don't know his name, and I wish she could've told me. She saved him. He would've been a dead man.

"Hey, you" She said softly. Gosh I missed her voice, but I have you. This could've been you, Callie. But you want to be stubborn, which I don't mind. "Hey." I replied, not even making eye contact with her. "Hey. Look, I'm sorry. I fucking messed up. Please, Joe. Please forgive me." She pleaded. I looked up at her, meeting with her green eyes. Gosh. The pain has been boughten back, and I know shes been suffering. "I forgive you." I said blankly. "Joe. I didn't mean to. I know that I hurt you and there's nothing I could do to change it. I fucking miss you. I am so miserable without you, Joe. I thought. I thought you would come running back, but I am the one who needs you." I saw a tear roll down her cheek. I quickly wiped it. "I accept your apology. The past is the pass. I'm sorry that you feel like that, you're the one who messed up. Not me." I replied. She started sobbing. Gosh. What do I do? I quickly ran to her, caressing her hand and holding her tightly. I know she needs this. I have to be the bigger person. Callie, when it comes to people, you should be open minded.

After Charlotte's crying session, she went on a whole rant on how things didn't work out with him. She also added how much she needed me, and that she misses me. "Charlotte, I miss you too." I said, hoping it'll assure her. She placed her soft, tiny hand on my cheek and kissed me. I couldn't disobey. I needed this as well. Hunting for you, Callie. Is hard. Its making me go psycho. I need to feel whole again, and Charlotte is the only one I have. I kissed her back, feeling her soft lips against my cold lips. Her lips next to mine felt like magic. It felt good.

The bells rang again. I pulled away and turned towards the door, Callie. She looked confused, and mad? Who is she to be mad? She made me wait 18 fucking days. Is she out of her fucking mind? She left me. Charlotte on the other hand looked like she's known her for all her life. She stands up and gives Callie a hug. Are they friends? Impossible. What. The. Fuck. Is. Happening? They both turn to me, and I smile awkwardly. "Uh-" I said before getting immediately cut off by Charlotte. "This is Callie. Her and my brother used to date." She smiled softly. Oh? You know Charlotte because you and her brother used to date? "Yeah. I've met her before. She came to the store to buy.. whats it called?" I asked. Pretending like I forgot about you. Callie. I would never forget about you. "Misery." You replied in an annoyed tone. "So you guys met? Cool. Callie this is my boyfriend." Charlotte smiled at me. What the fuck did she just say? Boyfriend? The look on your face got more aggressive. Its like you were aggravated? Do you care about me? Then why did you fucking ghost me for 18 days and show up on this day? Why not yesterday? It really had to be today. I smiled softly, knowing if I say something that'll upset Charlotte, she'll cry. "Cute." You replied with an annoyed tone. "I gotta go." You glare at me then walk out. Was that coffee for me? Was that a donut in the little brown bag? Did I just screw everything up? Yes.
