Memories and bad days

* Bens pov*
       I was waiting patiently one my front porch waiting for Joe to pick me up. We have know each other for a little while now and have just started dating even though it felt like we have been dating forever. I look down at my phone to see what time it was "ten minutes late." I whisper to myself. I look back up to see Joes car pull up. I run up to the car and open the passenger side door. "Your late." I say a little angrily. Sorry I slept in a little, I was about to reply to him when he put his hand on my cheek and kissed me softly. I put my hand on his jawline, I pull away and smirk. "Make up for being late?" Joe asked. I nod, he starts driving. It was silent for a moment then I say "have you talked to Rami at all recently?" "No I haven't i think he's avoiding me. I look out the window when I fell joe interlock his hand with mine. I look at him and smile, "so sence when do you like going out to eat?" I ask. "I don't but I thought I would do something different for you." He smirks and meets my gaze. I couldn't help but stair into his dark brown eyes. I turn on the radio to see if there was any good songs on, when it turned on the radio was playing queens song "another one bites the dust." I start to sing along with the the music, "I love this Ben do you know that." Joey laughs. "Join me!" I laugh. We were both singing when we hit a red light, we stopped singing when something got throw into Joes car. I look over to see a bully from school his name was Eric, I was about to yell at him when his car sped off. We arrived at the restaurant when I joe looked sad, "hey what's wrong?" I ask quietly. He just shakes his head so I unbuckled my seatbelt and walked over to the drivers side. I open the door and place my hands on joes soft cheeks, "hey don't let him ruin our night." Joe looks down with tears in his eyes so I kiss his lips softly. "Come on let's go inside." I say. "Alright." Joe puts on a slight smile. As we walk inside I interlock my fingers and his.
A nice waitress sat us down at table, I sat across from Joe. I couldn't help but smile at his charming face. We talked for a couple hours before we left and went to a ice cream shop. As we walk in my phone started ringing, " shit it's my mom." I step out of the shop and answer. "Hello." I say with a fake sweet voice. "Ben you need to come home as soon as possible please." My mom says eagerly. "Alright I will be home as soon as I can." I tell her calmly. I walk back inside trying not to looked panicked, "what's wrong?" Joe immediately asked. "I'm not sure my mom just said get home as soon as I can." "Ok well we can go now and eat our ice cream in the car." Joe says. "Ok we can do that." I say calmly. As we drive back to my house my eyes keep getting filled with tears thinking about what's happening. I look out the window trying to not let joe see. I look over at Joe and grab his hand. He looks at me and smiles softly, I give him a small smile back. We get to my house and we both get out of the car and walk up to my doorstep. He hugs me and a push him away, "please don't leave." I tell him. I grab his and and walk inside. I see my parents sitting on the couch in silence. "Ben we have something to tell you." Ben dad says. "What just come on and say it all ready." "Your uncle died in a car crash last night." My mom says as tears roll down her cheek. I stand there for a minute before running up stairs to my room. I sit on my bed crying for 10 minutes before joe knocks on my door. "Can I come in?" He asks. "Sure." I say. I look down crying when joe comes and sits next to me. He raps his arms around me and I lay my head on his chest still crying.
