Sara's POV
Joey entered the classroom and walked up to me. His eyes were all red and a bit puffy. Was he crying?
He gently pulled me outside carrying my bag. I leaned on the locker making it easier to balance on my crutches.
He made sure all the students have left the halls. Then he grabs on my right wrist and pulls up my sleeve. I tried to pull my hand back but he had a tight grip on me. His eyes glistened as he looked into my eyes.
"Sara, I'm so sorry for all the things I put you through. I didn't mean any of the things I had said. You are the most beautiful, loving, caring, sweet, funny, loyal girl I know. I can go on for the many reasons I love you. You didn't deserve all the names Violet and I've been calling you. You were right about Violet...all she wanted to go in get in my pants and when she did she pushed me around and made things that I didn't want to do. I wanted to come to the ice rink but Violet told me if I went with you she would hurt you. She kept on forcing me to do these horrible things. I should've just ignored her and should've been there for you. I should've protected you at all cost. I'm so sorry" he sobbed and pulled me into a hug.
I hugged back. "Please be my best friend again. I've been a mess without you. I need you to be with me. I've been going through somethings and I want to try to make on if the things right. My grandfather had died, Violet pushing me around like this, and making you hurt yourself." He cried into my shoulders.
I've never seen Joey cry throughout my whole life knowing him. He is really hurt and I can tell he needs someone to be with. He really cares about me.
"Oh Joey, I forgive you." I said while playing with the back of his hair.
Joey got up from the hug and tears were running down his face. He looked and me a forced a smile then ran out the school.
"JOEY!! WHERE ARE YOU GOING" I yelled trying to keep up with him.
"Miss. Ryder, why aren't you in class" principal Zach popped out of nowhere. "I was trying to find the bathroom" I lied. "What! You have been going-" "found it" I said cutting him off.
*after school*
I hopped in Mads car and asked her if she can drop me at joeys house. I explained to her everything that has happened earlier. I even showed her my cuts because everyone will know eventually. Before I reached his house I stopped by the gas station and bought his favorite ice cream 'cookie and cream'.
I arrived at Joeys house and knock on the door three times. Jen (Joeys mom) opens the door. Her eyes we all red and puffy. "Hey, I haven't seen you in a long time" she said trying to smile. "Yeah, I'm sorry for your loss" "I'm glad that your here, Joey hasn't been able to sleep for 4 days now. He won't even talk to me, so I'm glad you are here" she said opening the door to let me in. I smile and Jen helps me up the stairs.
I knock on joeys door. "Mom, I said please go away" Joeys voice cracked. "It's me Joey" I said while opening the door to let myself in. I close the door behind me. Joey was laying down on his bed still crying. I place my crutches on the wall and hop to joeys bed with the ice cream still on my hand. I sat next to Joey and he just looked at me. I wipe his tears and removed the ice cream out of the bag.
"Hey, everything is going to be okay. Here I got you your favorite ice cream" I opened the ice cream tub and scooped a spoon full of ice cream. "Thank you, but I'm not hungry" "since when do you say no to ice cream?!" I placed the spoon in front on his mouth and he chuckled and took a bite. "It's colddd" he said with a mouth full.
"Do you want to watch our show? (Rick and Morty" I asked. He nodded and opened his tv up to Rick and Morty. Joey layed down on my lap I then played with his hair. A couple minutes later Joey was out cold asleep.
I couldn't get up because I didn't want to wake him up. I messaged my mom saying I'm spending the night over. I then turned off the Tv and drifted off to sleep as well.
