Your POV

It was about 12:30. Joey and I were driving to the funeral. I was trying my hardest not to cry. I was almost happy to get this over with.

I set my hand on the middle console/armrest. Joey took a hand off the wheel and grabbed it.

I smiled weakly at him "turn here"

He turned and we got closer and closer to our destination. I tried to keep my mind off things. I turned on the radio. Commercial. Next....ugh commercial. I switched through different radio stations. All commercials.

"Are you alright you seem kind of...fidgety.." Joey asked me

"I don't know...."

I felt my nose start to burn and I knew the tears were coming. I let go of Joeys hand and turned my whole body towards the window. Silently wiping away the tears.

"Hey....don't hide from me. I know you are sad. People cry. Don't lock yourself down." Joey said grabbing my chin and turning my face towards him, wiping away the stray tears.

I nodded and scooched closer to him, putting my head on his shoulder.

He patted my head and held my hand with his free one.

"You are the best" I said my voice cracking

"I know" he said. He looked at me and we both smiled.

"Thank-" I started.

"Stop thanking me. You are my friend I would do anything for you."

"Best friend?" I asked

"Best friend." He confirmed.

I smiled " turn left, go straight. We wil be there....." I whispered, "soon"

He nodded and kept driving.

"Ya know...once we get home, everything will get better"

"Yeah. I- know."

"Is this it?" He asked pointing to a small church.

"Mhm." I nodded sitting up , grabbing a few Kleenex from a box on the floor.

We pulled in many people were here hugging, crying, laughing.

Joey got out and opened my door for me. We locked arms and proceeded into the church. I said hello and hugged many family members on the way in. I saw my mother talking to my aunt.

"Hi mom." Wow I never realized how weak I sounded.

"Hello hon" she gave me a hug.

"Hi Joey" she hugged him to.

"Hi auntie Shannon" I have her a hug. She gave a weak smile.

Authors note (a/n)

I'm starting to fell depressed writing this! :/ I hope you guys aren't. The story will get happier soon. Please hang on. :)

------------

"Hello dear" My aunt gave me a hug and Joey and I walked inside.

We sat down in a pew and waited for the ceremony to start.

Some family members were going to say a few words and everyone would pay their respects. Joey held my hand the whole time.

My mom, my aunt, my uncle, my grandpa, my cousin , and my sister all said some things about my grandmother. Everyone stood up and went to pay their respects and then talked , hugged , and cried.

"Joey I'm sorry but I'd like to pay my respects alone"

"Of course (cute nick name)"

I cave him a hug and started crying. He stroked my head and put his chin on the top of my head. We stood like that for a long time. I finally broke away and walked up to my grandmothers coffin.

"Hi gran..." I whispered wiping away tears

"Umm I don't really know way to say....

Umm thanks for always being there. You've had a great life. I-I love you. Ill always Miss you. Ill always remember to speak to you."

I melt down and said a prayer

"I love you" I turned around and looked at Joey he was looking at me. My mouth started to wobble and my knees felt weak. He started walking over. Quickly.

He pulled me into a hug. I felt my knees give out and I fell into Joey. He pulled me into the closest pew and let me cry.

I looked up at min and he was crying

"W-whhat?" I asked

*sniff* "I just don't like seeing you in pain"

"Joey..." Things were starting to settle down people were starting to leave. (Not being rude. Ya know not everyone stays till the end)

I stood up and so did Joey "I'm going to go talk to some people ill be right back. If you want you can wait I-in the car." I was still sobbing. He was too. Too sweet. I kissed his cheek and walked over to my mother. I looked back to see Joey blushing. So was I.

My mom was crying. I talked to her and promised we would stop by before we leave. I reminded her she had to come with us to drop off the rental car and take us to the airport. "Ok hon. Love you" she said wiping her eyes. I talked to my grandpa, cousin, aunt, and uncle and some other family friends. I introduced Joey to some of them. Mostly just family.

I said some goodbyes and was ready to leave. It was 2:15.

I linked arms with Joey "lets go" we walked to our (rental) car and got it.

I let out a sigh of relief. The sky was dark and cloudy. It was very cold. Little flurries of snow were blowing around. It was January 25.

My face was red and puffy. Joeys was red and a little bloated too.

"You alright?" He asked me looking into my eyes

"Yes. Considering you know...."

"Yeah"

"Are you ok?" I asked him.

"Yeah I'm just worried about you. And I'm sorry about what happened. "

I smiled. "I'm ok. And by the way. Your eyes are so.....beautiful." I told him looking into those beautiful green orbs.

"Thank you. You are beautiful."

"Joey..." I looked down blushing. I looked back into his eyes. I couldn't even hide my smile. "Thank you"

He smiled and started driving back to the hotel.

When we got into our room, I ran to the bathroom and changed into a pair of sweats and a tshirt. I came out of the bathroom and joey was changing in the middle of the room He was only in his boxers. Oh no. My face got red.

"JOEY!"

"What it's not like I'm naked!"

"Ugh fine."

He put on a tank top and basket ball shorts. I crawled into my bed it was 3:09.

"Joey what time does our flight leave"

"9:30. We might want to leave here at 7:45. To get there in time and-"

"Yeah"

He tossed the remote to me

"What?" I asked

"You can watch something. I'm going to vlog"

I turned the tv to modern family. (A tv show) Joey grabbed his camera of the table

"Hello there everyone! I'm still here in Minnesota. Y/n and I are flying back to LA tonight. Umm I don't really have anything for you guys. Here is a montage of deleted footage." He pushed the pause button and grabbed his laptop and edited. I pulled out my iPhone and watched his video from yesterday. A lot of the comments were saying some nice things about me and hoping everything is ok. I smiled to myself

"What?" Joey asked.

"Nothing. Just people" I told him about the comments.

I got out of my bed and scrambled over to his. I grabbed his camera and hot record. I was delirious. I pointed the camera towards us and started being silly. I swirled the camera around and started telling really lame jokes and laughing like it was the funniest thing ever.

"Oh I have something for you!" Joey said reaching into his bag

"What?"

"Here!" He handed me a little bag.

Inside had a charm bracelet. It had some charms in it. The peace sign made with fingers (like signlanguage 2) a kitten and a camera.

"Aww joey!! I love it! Please put it on me!" I gave him a hug and held out my wrist"

I couldn't stop smiling. "What's this for?"

"We'll you have had a hard time and I just-"

"Awe!!!! Thank you!!!!" I gave him a huge hug and held on I turned off the camera and laid on his chest. He recorded a hungercraft.

I fell asleep around 4.

"Y/n wake up"

I woke up the clock said 6. I was still laying on Joey.

"But you are so comfortable."

"Haha get up we have to clean up and check out. And drive to your moms."

"No"

"Y/n" he said in a scolding tone

I closed my eyes and pulled Joey closer. He smelt so good. "You smell good" I said

"Thanks" he said laughing. "Now get up"

"Never!"

Then joey bent down. I thought he was going to lay his head on mine. But he didn't. He licked me. From my cheek up to my forehead

"JOEY!"

"Hahaha! Now GET UP" I smacked his arm playfully.

I got up and put my clothes and stuff that were out back in my suitcase. I made sure I had everything.

"Keys, phone, laptop"

"You ready?" He asked me

"Yes I have everything. Ill call my mom and tell her to meet us at Kelsies."

We turned in our key and drove the rental car back to the dealer. I said bye to Kelsie and we exchanged numbers. My mom came a few minutes after.

"Hi mom thank you" I said getting into the back with joey."

My mom drove us to the airport we all got out.

"Bye mom ill call you when we land I said giving her a hug"

"Bye sweetie love you. Bye joey" she said giving him a hug. "Nice meeting you"

"You too Maim"

She smiled and drove off. It was about 8:15. We were a little early. We want through security and boarded the plane at 9:05.

"I wonder who is sitting next to us this time." I said. So far no one.

"Maybe if we're lucky that seat will stay empty."

"Joey... I don't know what to say...you've done so much."

He smiled and put the armrest in between us up. He put his arm around me and I scooched closer. "It was.....nice. Other than the funeral ya know?"

"Hehe yeah." I smiled and let out a sigh.

"What?"

"Just everything" I told him.

"Yeah I know what you mean. For the rest of the time until 9:30 he showed my funny pics on his iPhone.

At 9:30 no one was sitting next to us

"Yay!" I said celebrating a little bit.

"Wow it's really dark for being 9:30."

Just then The concession cart

"Would you like anything?" She asked us.

I fell forward onto the cart.

"Woah I'm sorry! No thanks we don't want anything" I said smiling sheepishly.

"Oh it's alright"she said before walking away.

"What was that about?" Joey asked me

I pulled two little bottles of Captain Morgan rum out of my hoodie sleeve.

"Oh my god y/n! How did you learn to do that?"

"When you grow up with a sister who wants everything you have, you learn how to get your stuff back"

"Wow" he said taking one of the bottles "what if they find out?"

"I don't know. It's not like they'll kick us off"

"You're right" he said drinking the alcohol

"Cheers" we clinked bottles and downed the rum.

Only a couple people had lights on other than that the main lights were turned off. Joey and I were asking each other questions. Kind of like truth or dare. Not really but questions like "who was your first crush" and "what was the most embarrassing moment in high school" and " what is the worst thing you have ever done" and some more too.

"The worst thing I've ever done? Hmm..one time a girl was flirting with my boyfriend. She was like 14 and we were 16 so I don't know why I was jealous, but we were eating nachos and I dumped them on her head and left the restaurant ." I confessed

"Oh my god are you serious?! That's hilarious."

I was feeling gross and tired and tipsy from the rum.

"The worst thing I ever did," joey was starting to slur his words," was....uhm I cheated in my tessstsss in highh sccoolll"

"HAHAHAHA. Your SO bad"

"Yes I know" he said sarcastically

I leaned my head on his shoulder. I was tired. I was very happy joey was around though

JOEYS POV

"So who do you love?" I asked. Y/n had her eyes closed. I think she was asleep. She opened her eyes

"What?"

"Who do you love?"

She closed her eyes again

"I....love...." She didn't speak for a while.

"You" y/n said in a whisper.

"W-what?" That woke me up. I shook her shoulder. "What?" She was sleeping. "W-what?" I said even softer. "I think I love you too" I whispered. I just stared out the window wide awake from shock. Eventually a long time later. I somehow fell asleep

Your POV

I woke up to 2 beautiful green orbs staring into mine.

I was all snuggled up against Joey "you smell good" I told him

"So I've heard." He said smiling

I don't really remember what happened last night. After the rum.

"What time is it?" I asked joey

"Umm," he looked at his phone "9:45 we should land around 10 or 10:30"

--------

A/n

I know the time it takes them to fly probably isn't realistic. Sorry if it bothers you.

---------

"Ok thanks."

"Mhm"

I closed my eyes again. Just laying here smelling Joey, it was actually pretty enjoyable.

"Really good"

"What?" He asked me laughing

"You smell wonderful. Like unicorns. Yep that's what I imagine they smell like"

His face turned all red and he laughed for a long time

"What?" I asked frowning

"You are adorable" he said laying his cheek on the top of my head.

"You smell like hotel shampoo"

"Hehe. Thanks. Wait, was that a compliment?" I asked

"Sure."

"So, when are you going to Luke's?"

"Umm I don't know maybe 11am? I won't be back until late."

"Ok...."

I smelt his shoulder. "Seriously, do you shower in rainbows?"

"Yes, I shower in rainbows. I like how they make my skin soft." He said chuckling and I couldn't help but laugh.

"This has been great. Just me and you ya know...." My voice trailed off.

"Yeah. It has been. Really super douper great!"

"Oh no I think we're landing!" I closed my eyes and joey took my hand. I was a bit hungover and this was NOT helping.

Bounce. Bounce. Screeeeech. Errrtttttt.

The plane stopped.

I looked up and Joey let go. He picked his head up and so did I. The flight attendant directed people where to go.

We grabbed our luggage and went through security. Blah.. Blah.

We went through the paneling lot trying to remember where we parked. We finically found joeys car 10 minutes later. We listened to his Paramore cd on the way home. They were my new favorite band
