You and I

Chapter 33

"Where's Tori? Is she here?" Kat asks as she runs back into the house with her dog's pen and runs up stairs to put it in Sam's room.

"Not yet" Devyn shouts up to Kat as she runs to join me to wait for Tori just as she does Amaani walks into the house with her dog Milo, she greets me and Devyn and then runs up to Colby's room.

Amaani and Kat are leaving their dogs Milo and Kiwi with their Boyfriends while we are all in South Africa. Devyn was about to call Tori just as she ran in the house out of breath.

"I-I'm sor-sorry I'm late" she pants as she goes to kitchen and grabs a bottle of water.

Devyn takes Tori's bag and puts it into Corey's car that we are taking to the airport along with mine and the other girls stuff in the car as well. We say goodbye to the boys as we all get into the car and Devyn drives us to the airport.

I'm so not ready to see Joe again I left without saying anything but it's his own fault for making me feel Pain for being with another girl who is probably way prettier than me.

We board the plane to South Africa and I instantly become nervous as anything. What if I see him again? What will he say to me? What will Caspar and Theo say?

We arrive in South Africa and grab our suitcases and go to our hotel we booked for 2 days. Tomorrow is Mum's funeral and as soon as it's over we're going back to LA so that I can go and get my key for my new apartment.

We all settle in and order room service because none of us could be bothered to go out and eat.

I wake up at 9am to my alarm going off I switch it off as the girls wake up as well. Time to get ready for moms funeral I thought. 'Mom's funeral' those two words kept repeating in my head as I go and get ready.

It is now 10:15 when we all finish getting ready I had a black dress with black heels, sunglasses and a black hat. You could instantly tell I wanted to be discreet I didn't want them to see me there. Once we were all ready we head down to the lobby and wait for the Uber Katrina ordered for us 10 minutes ago.

We arrive 15 minutes later at the church just on time for the funeral to start. We head in and I instantly spot a big framed picture of mum with me, Caspar and Theo. I spot Caspar stood next to the picture with Theo crying in his arms. My heart pains to see my two siblings like this and I'm not even there with them at the front to do anything. I look around the room and spot Joe sat down with Oli, Jack, Josh, Byron, Grant and Conor. I see Joe's head move and look around the room probably to look for me. I quickly scurry to a seat that's close by and the girls follow behind. I hide my head behind the person in front and look over carefully to see Byron put his hand on Joe's shoulder and say something to him. Joe nods along agreeing with whatever Byron said and puts his head down.

(Before)
Joe's POV

Me and the boys along with Caspar, Theo and their dad walk into the church and spot there mums coffin already at the front of the church with a big framed picture next to it with Emily, Caspar, Theo and.... Amy. I sigh as I look at the picture and look at Amy. Where are you baby? Where were you going when you boarded that plane?

We make our way to the front of the Church and sit down at the front row as Caspar and Theo make their way to their mums coffin and all the guests start piling in. I look over at Caspar and Theo to see Theo in Caspar's arms crying, Amy should be up there with you two i think to my self. I look around the room to try and spot Amy but no use 3 girls make their way in and sit at the back as they look at Caspar and Theo with Sad eyes. I feel a broad hand lay on my shoulder and I look next to me to see Byron sat their looking at me with sympathy in his eyes.

"She's not here Joe none of us have seen her either, she might not have even seen your message" he says his voice cracking a little as he thinks of Amy. I nod as he takes his hand of my shoulder and I put my head down. Please baby just show up. I miss you.
