reagan's pov

i sat up and called joe back, but it went to voicemail.
"hey joe uh this is reagan but i'm sure you knew that. i'm sorry i hung up on you i was very stressed i told my mom and things didn't go well." i said tearing up reliving the words she said to me.

"i just want to congratulate you on yalls win. you are definitely winning the national championship. sorry again bye." i said hanging up and going back to the room.

river was already asleep so i just got in bed and fell asleep. it was now the next day and i had got back to my apartment early that morning. i unpacked and decided to go to joes apartment.

i got there at around 9 am and knocked on the door hoping it was to early. i got no answer so i knocked again before finally he answered.

"hey sorry if i woke you up i was just—"

"joe come back to bed!" i heard a voice and all of a sudden this short bleach blonde haired girl came and hugged him.

"leaving i was just leaving."

"no reagan please." he started but i just ran and even took the stairs leaving.

i got back to my apartment and kelsey was sitting eating ice cream. i couldn't take it anymore so i broke down crying. she came over and hugged me.

"let it out it's fine you'll be okay. i love you reagan i'm always here for you." she said and i cried even more.

she calmed me down and gave me some ice cream and we sat in my bed.

"what happened r?"

"my mom called yesterday." i said and she immediately knew.

"that bitch whatever she said reagan is not true at all."

"she said i was dumb and ruined her life. also that i killed my dad." i said grabbing a tissue and blowing into it.

"she's such a stupid bitch ray you know it's not true all of those. you are the smartest girl i know. she ruined her own damn life by acting like that if i ever see her i'm beating her ass." she said and i laughed hugging her again.

"also joe called me last night. i hung up because it was right after the whole situation and he went and slept with some random girl."

"how do you know?"

"i went to his apartment earlier to apologize and she was there with his shirt on all over him."

"wow i really thought he liked you."

"me too. i guess no one does." i said.

"shit the hell up ray everyone likes you. joe likes you boys are just idiots and don't think before they act." as she said that we got a knock on the door. i had an idea of who it was and so did she.

"i'll go get it." she stood up and walked to the front door. my room was right beside it so i could heat everything.

"joe fucking burrow you need to leave right now."

"please let me talk to her i can explain."

"explain what how you act like you like her then sleep with some skank we got it."

"no i was just upset because when i called her last night she didn't talk and just hung up. i got really drunk and fucked up."

"please just let me talk to her."

"okay fine."

shit shit he's coming in here. quick act like you're asleep. i rolled over and closed my eyes acting asleep.

"i know you aren't asleep." joe said.

"yeah i am until you leave."

"please let me explain ray i was upset."

"oh you were upset that i hung up on you? joe my mom had just told me i ruined her life and killed my dad sorry i couldn't talk about a ducking football game at the moment." i said pissed off.

"wait what happened?"

"and i left you a voicemail congratulating you on the game after. joe i couldn't breathe on the phone with you and i almost passed out. please just leave."

"reagan i'm so sorry i didn't know."

"yeah of course you didn't."

"no i'm serious. no one deserves to be treated like this and i promise i will not bother you for the rest of your life but just let me to you this." he said grabbing my hands.

"you did not ruin anyone's life and you sure as hell did not kill you're dad. reagan you are the smartest funniest cutest girl in the world you don't deserve that." he said grabbing my face and giving me a peck on the lips standing up.

"i don't deserve you. you deserve all the happiness in the world and i hope one day you get it. i'm so sorry for treating you like such garbage i'll leave you alone now." he said about to leave and i stood up running to my door hugging him.

he hugged me back and i cried.

"she hates me joe she thinks i'm a worthless girl just causing her problems my whole family hates me." i said and he just grabbed my head hugging me again.

"shhh baby girl you aren't any of those things. you are the most amazing person i've ever met."

"she told me i shouldn't waste my time on volleyball because i'm not good enough."

"hell no. you are doing the olympic training. i will call her myself and tell her off reagan you do not deserve that. i'm so sorry."

"it's okay i'm used to it i guess."
