Joes phone kept ringing. It was Ben. '8 missed calls from Ben' Joe turned his ringer off. He felt terrible. There he sat in a cafe hours away from him. He wasn't sure where to go but he was not going back to Ben's. Ben thought he hated him. He just wanted to yell "I don't hate you in fact I love you!" so badly. Joe sighed sipping a coffee.
He ended up walking out of the cafe and sat on a bench. When he checked his phone one last time. 'Hey Joey please come back I need you.' Those words hit Joe like an arrow. 'I don't hate you' Joe responded.
'You don't?' Ben replied.
'No in fact.' Joe erased the text.
'No' Joe typed.
'Then please come home.' Ben begged.
'I'll be home tomorrow if I started driving now I'd be home by midnight'
'Ok Joey see ya and love ya' Ben responded
Joes eyes widened. 'Love?' Joe asked confused.
'Oh...' Ben had quickly turned off his phone.

(The next morning)
Joe woke up in the hotel room he checked into. 'Morning Ben on my way home' Joe texted.
No response. 'Ben?'
'Oh sorry just woke up see ya soon Joe.'
