“Well I'm just waiting out traffic cause you know I don’t like to drive in it.” You say to Joe.
You sat on your couch on the phone with Joe as you couldn’t wait to see him. “Baby I miss you so much I need to see you” Joe whines like a spoiled child.
You chuckle “ Yo tambien pero it says an hour to get to your house I’m not sitting in traffic for that long. I could be doing more productive things at home.” you explain.
Joe sighs “Okay but text me when your on your way so I could at least let the chicken thaw.” Joe says as you guys had plans to cook together.
You get up quickly “Oh yeah that reminds me I need to bring my pans and pots.” You go to your kitchen and get them ready. “baby not to be rude but those pots and pans are old and all scratch I have all these new ones that you can use.” Joe says.
You roll your eyes as you smile. “Yo lo se but you know it just doesn’t give it the same flavor.” You tell him. Joe chuckles over the phone at your stubborn nature he knew he couldn’t argue with you.
Joe hears a knock on the door and groans. “Ugh someones at the door it might be my annoying neighbor.” Joe says to you.
You chuckle he has told you stories about his annoying and nosy neighbor. “Well good luck with that.” you respond.
Joe gets up and sighs “Yeah let me take care of this because you know how they get.” Joe says. “I’ll see you later baby and after this I might shower so if you decide to come just use the spare.” Joe says. “Okay baby love you too” You say as he hangs up.
30 minutes later
The moment you saw on the GPS that traffic had cleared you immediately jumped in your car and drove to his place.
Once you were at Joe's house you couldn’t help but be excited to see your guerro as you brought down your bag with your old pots.
You knocked on the door but there was no answer. You waited about 30 seconds. Still no answer. You knocked one more time. Still no answer.
You took the spare key out of your sweater pocket and slowly opened the door to his house which was super huge in your eyes.
You took in the different aesthetic and interior that you weren’t used to. The polished wood floors, the 3 different directions that could lead you into different parts of the house. The stairs with a modern arch railway that lead up.
You walked to the kitchen and dropped the bags you were carrying on the counter. As you looked around you felt it quiet. And that kinda scared you.
You slowly tread up the stairs waiting for a sign that Joe was home. Could be his shower is on or any silent footsteps but you didn’t hear anything.
You’ve been to his place before and gotten to know his favorite four wall space known as his bedroom. When you got up there you heard some voices. A girl's voice.
You got extremely worried maybe it was just the TV he left on. You open the door and when you walked in you saw a girl on Joe's lap. Her arms wrapped around his neck. If it didn’t make matters worse you saw his hands on her waist. Him holding her like he holds you.
It left you speechless. “y/n I swear this isn’t what it looks like.” Joe says as he removes his hands from her waist. She turned her head and that's when you realized it was his ex girlfriend. You slammed the door. You were angry, mad and sad. You ran down the stairs to your car and immediately started it as you drove away you saw through the rearview mirror Joe running out to the street.
Joe knew he messed up the moment you just walked out and never said anything. He would do everything to try to get you to understand and forgive him.
Your phone buzzed with a notification call from Joe. You ignored them and just threw your phone on the car door.
You found yourself driving to your bestfriends apartment. “Amiga que pasa?” She asks as she sees your red puffy teary eyes. “Joe is a fucking dick, an asshole.” You walk into your friend's apartment and start to rant. “Dont say I told you so.” You look at your friend, you know she's always warned you about Joe that he's just an American athlete and she had been kinda the voice of reason you ignored as your heart took over.
At the end of the day you knew true Ohioan American guys like Joe who grew up were bound to eventually go back to a true Ohioan American like his ex girl. You were just a filler girl until his ex was ready to go back to him. At least that's what you told yourself.
Your friend led you over to her couch. “I walked in and found him with his ex girlfriend in his room” You explain as you let a few tears drop. “I just can’t believe he would do this. I mean I hoped he wouldn’t but he's just like all the others.” You cried. Your friend hugged you and rubbed your back to comfort you.
“Mira amiga primero Toro did this to you first and now este pendejo” Your friend says she has seen you get your heartbroken by too many gueros. “I told….” your friend stops herself as she sees you sit on the couch she knows she can gloat on her warning you beforehand but you needed her more than ever. “What can I do for you? Do you need food or water?” Your friend asks “Water please” You wipe your tears.
Three days later
Joe had been calling and texting you. You had ignored every text of his. You didn’t bother to read anything. You blocked him on social media and would block anything related to him on your feed. You wanted nothing to do with him. You put on a tough persona. At the end of the day you weren’t gonna cry over a pendejo but you couldn’t deny he broke your heart and it hurt more than ever. You had manage to cry over him in the nights before you slept. All those lies he told you, you fell for them. Maybe you were the pendeja for believing him.
You had dragged your feet on the ground as you got near your home. You ruffled through your purse looking for keys when you saw a shadow behind you.
“y/n.” you heard a familiar voice. You turned around saw the tall pale muscular figure standing in front of you now.
“Go away.” you mumble as you feel yourself shake. You couldn’t figure out if your body was shaking with anger or anxiety. Maybe both.
“Look I brought these back.” Joe hands you the old pots and pans you had brought that day at his house.
“Thank you.” You say as you yank the bag away from his hand. Joe can feel how cold you are. You don’t make eye contact with Joe. You feel yourself getting nervous. You wanted to punch him but another part of you wanted to hug him and invite him in.
“No y/n let me explain.” Joe's hand touches your shoulder. You pulled your body away from Joe and crossed your arms as you looked up at him sternly.
“Porfavor Joe just leave. I don’t want to see you. I hope you're happy with her.” You say as you try to not let him see you cry, you stand tall and your posture straight to show him how serious you were.
“No just listen just listen please let me explain please.” Joe begs his voice shaky as he looks at you. You sighed as you looked at him. His blue eyes have the power to possibly charm you and get you under his spell but you have to be strong. Stronger than the first time.
“Fine speak” You demand as you decide to hear him out.
“Can I come in?” Joe asks as he looks at you.
“No you can talk about it out here.” you say you look over at him.
Joe sighs “Okay remember how we were on the phone I hung up to answer the door.” Joe starts off
You nod your head and look at him. “Yeah you lied and said it was your neighbor?” You crossed your arms and tap your foot.
“No I didn’t lie” Joe says frustrated as he knew it was impossible to talk. “Just listen okay. I opened the door and it was her. You already know how she is. She just stormed up into my room and lied about looking for something.” Joe explains.
“You have to believe me I tried to stop her, she just barged into my room. I followed her and tried to reason with her to get out but she wouldn’t listen. You came in and she just jumped on my lap because she got scared and thats what you saw. It wasn’t what it looked liked okay. You have to believe me because I love you and I don’t want you to break up with me about something you think happened.” Joe explains desperately as he grabs her hand.
You pull your hand away. “That's the best lie you can come up with?” You chuckle sarcastically as you roll your eyes. “You're worse than the others, at least they admitted what they did and you come over here and think I'm gonna believe your lies.” You were angry at the audacity he had to come over and lie and then say he loved you.
“No y/n that's seriously what happened. I'm not lying.” Joe says he feels nervous his voice breaks he fills the tears come up he can’t lose you he can’t.
“Look Joe it's done okay, I had fun you had fun but obviously you still love her and I'm not gonna be some backup you settle for. I deserve better than that” You said as you felt a lump in your throat.
“No it's not done.” Joe grabs your hand and tries to persuade you. “You're the one I want, you're the one I love, I can’t lose you. Please believe me when I say I’m telling the truth. I have never betrayed your trust please.” Joe begs as he practically gets on his knees to make you believe him.
You have heard this excuse too many times. You knew better than to fall for it. “Mira,” you help him get up for a moment. You feel bad and pity you almost want to forgive him. “Joe just go okay, its done, we are done, don't come here and try to clear your conscience.” You push him away slightly.
“But I love you y/n, don’t leave don’t please. I can prove that I love you.” Joe says.
“Stop okay.” You raise your voice slightly tired of the lies, tired of the deception.
“Just go okay? Stop saying you love me when you don’t.” You say to to him. “If you do love me pues ya valio, its ruined I don’t love you anymore.” You say as you turn your back and open the door to your house.
Joe gets the message he understands. “Well I know you don’t believe me, but I really love you, I do. I really hope everything works out for you.” Joe says as he takes a step back.
“I hope everything works out for you and I wish I could see all the amazing things you accomplish.” Joe says sincerely as you roll your eyes.
“Okay bye Joe, have a nice life.” You say as you are tired of hearing his pathetically kind words. You slam the door.
Joe's heart shattered; he wishes you could have believed the truth. As you slam the door and you feel yourself lean against the wall. You put a hand over your mouth as you sob and you slide down against the wall as you completely break down.
