I woke up to the movement of my cat in my bed. I sat up and looked around, seeing nothing but my room and my pet laying on her tummy, staring right at me.
"Where's Joey?" I ask her. She meows in response.
That helps.
I checked my phone.
Went home. I'm coming back over at 1. Love you♥️ -J
I sighed. The time was 11.
I had a shower and dressed in the most comfortable outfit I found.
A black and white floral skirt, with a black halter top. Tying my hair in a messy high bun, I added my glasses. I threw on some socks and finished the look with some mascara.
I got a message from Charles.
Hey. Letting you know Mark just arrived on the other side of the country. And Ashley's moved schools apparently. Homeschooling, she said. I think it's because she was reported for bullying too many times. Anyway. Hope you enjoy your one week holiday :) -Char
I had forgotten we were in school holidays. I smiled at the text and replied with a happy message.
Thanks Char. And good to know haha. Love you, thank you so much for the support💙 -K
I sit around on my phone for a while before Joey rings the doorbell. I look through the peephole just to make sure.
Yes. It was Joey.
I opened the door to see Joey dressed in those ripped and skinny black jeans, a white top, those black and white Vans he always seems to wear.
He was smiling. With that dimple, that smile, that face.
That boy.
"Hey Kate," he says.
"Hey Joey," I smile.
But the thing that caught my eye the most, wasn't his dimples or his jeans.
It was the purple lilacs he was holding in his arms.

There's an epilogue :)
