When I met you in the Summer

Chapter 7

Emily's Pov:

Shit. Shit. What the hell is Joe doing here?

"Joe?" I questioned.

"Em." He said engulfing me in a hug.

I saw Nash tense up.

"Nash why don't you come in." I said because I wanted to make it clear I wanted him not Joe.
He stepped in.

"Joe so, what are are you doing here?" I asked him.

"Your brother called and invited me to stay for a few days.

"Gee, I'll have to thank him for that." I said as I turned to shoot Josh a dirty look.

"Um, Joe. This is my uh- friend Nash." I said. "Nash, this is my friend Joe." I said putting an emphasis on Friend.

They said hello and I could feel the awkwardness.

"Um. I'm gonna go and get some snacks." I said leaving the awkward living room.

Nash's Pov:

"So, you took Em out on a date, huh?" Joe asked me. I nodded. "Listen here, Em and I have historyyy." He said. Um what? When. "We're basically together without the title." He said. Um, that's kinda what Em and I are. What has she been keeping from me.

"What are you talking about?" I asked him.

"You know. Em and I." He said. Em walked back in.

"Em, I think I'm gonna head out." I said.

"Nash." She breathed. "I-I'll see you tomorrow yea?" She asked.

"I don't-" I began and I saw her innocent face. "Know." I said.

I slammed the door entering my apartment. Bryant and Cam all walked in to see my anger.

"What happened?" Cam asked.

"Emily has some type of male friend who she's with but I don't know.. I don't really understand it." I said.

"So, what did she say?" Bryant asked me.

"She said nothing about him. Her Brother hates me because of months ago and he called him up because he's like her ex boyfriend back home or something." I said.

"Dudee." Cam said.

"What?" I asked.

"So she never said anything about him not one mention of him?" Bryant asked looking at his phone.

"Nope. He's the one that told me they're basically a couple still at home in New York." I said.

"Um. Well I don't know why she wouldn't have told you about him then." Bryant said.

"What's his name?" Cam asked.

"I know." I said. "Um. Joe." I slurred.

"So is this him?" Bryant asked holding up his phone to his Twitter profile.

"Yea." I said. "How'd you find him?" I asked.

"You may have stalked her Instagram but not Twitter. They use to tweet each other a lot a few weeks ago. Hey look, she tweeted Shawn the other day." He said.

'Check your dms @shawnmendes'

Wtf?, okay to be honest I didn't really care that she tweeted Shawn.

But Joe. Joe was a problem. I needed to know what he is to her. What am I to her?

I woke up at around 9, after getting like no sleep last night. I had a text from Em.
'Can we talk?'
I responded telling her yes. I knew she was probably at the recording studio around now, so I decided not to expect it to be anytime soon.
She's inside my head.

Emily's Pov:

"Emily, I'd like you to meet Austin." My dad said as he introduced me to Austin. Austin greeted me with a warm hug.

"Hi." I smiled.

"Hey." He said.

We talked a while and got to know each other before going over the verses. To be honest, he was perfect. But I couldn't get my mind off of Nash basically running out on me last night. It's all fucking Josh's fault.

We recorded the song after a few more hours of rehearsal.

"we should chill tomorrow." Austin said.

"Definitely." I said.

"Okay." He said. "Do you wanna join me and my buddies going to universal studios tomorrow?" He asked me.

"Sounds fun." I smiled. "I'll text you my address." I said. He nodded.

"See you tomorrow." He said giving me a friendly hug goodbye.

"Bye." I said.

I knew Joe would wanna do something tomorrow before he leaves but I don't give a shit. He had to of said something to Nash to piss him off and ruin any chances I had with him. I need space from him. He's clingy. He's almost like obsessed with me and its weird. In starting fresh here and he doesn't need to be a part of it.

Now I have to go and face my biggest fear. What's gonna happen between Nash and I?
