Chapter 3

Joe walked into the laundry room and grabbed the mop and bucket going over to the sink he filled the bucket up with water and soap. He watched Emily carefully out of the corner of his eye she was keeping her voice low and that worried Joe, he watched as she took the cordless phone off the charger and walked out the backdoor to the back porch. Joe continued to clean up the kitchen with thoughts of they’re almost kiss and who was on the phone cause right now he hated whoever rang the phone. When he was done Emily still wasn’t back from outside, he walked into the living room grabbing the Queen size blanket with horses on it that is always on the back of the sofa he wrapped it around himself while walking out to the backdoor. When he walked out to the back porch he sees Emily sitting on the edge of the lounge chair twirling the phone in her hand. Joe walked over and sat behind her on the lounge chair wrapping the blanket around her but still keeping it around himself along with wrapping his arms around her.
“Who was that on the phone?”
He asked leaning his chin on Emily’s shoulder.
“My Mom.”
Emily said sighing and leaning back into Joe.
“And.”
“She just wanted to tell me that she wants the whole house clean before she comes home Sunday night.”
“I was hoping this could be our weekend to just hang. No cleaning no shows nothing just us best friends doing stuff.”
“I can’t abandon my responsibilities Joe.”
“Come on Em you know you want too. Not even for one weekend.”
“I can’t Joe.”
Emily got up and walked back in the house, Joe sighed and ran his hand through his hair before getting up and following Emily into the house. By the time he got in the house she wasn’t downstairs, taking the steps he went up to her room where he found her sitting in her bay window looking out to the backyard holding the teddy bear that Joe had won her at a carnival when they were ten.
“I don’t want to fight with you about this.”
Emily said wiping a tear away, Joe walked over and sat in front of her.
“Me either but look at you Emily your exhausted, between work, school and what you do here it’s finally taken it’s toil on you. I can see it Em I just want to help.”
 Emily bought Joe into a hug.
“I know you do Joe but I have to do this I won’t abandon my responsibilities.”
Joe knows not to push the subject but an idea came to mind. The next morning the sound of the alarm clock woke Emily she rolled over and her hand found the alarm and turned it off.
“God I hate your alarm.”
Joe said rolling over and wrapping his arms back around Emily pulling her close against him. Emily chuckled she totally forgot that they were lying in bed watching TV before she feel asleep.
“Me too now unless you want to lay in puddle I suggest you let me go cause I really have to pee.”
Joe laughed and unwrapped his arms from around her and watched her walk into the bathroom that adjoins her room, he got up going downstairs grabbing his cell from off the coffee table then looking throw the address book next to the phone placing a number into his phone.
“So what do you want for breakfast?”
Emily said coming down the stairs and Joe dropped his cell onto the sofa.
“Your blueberry pancakes and hash browns would hit the spot.”
Joe rubbed his tummy.
“Okay you want to help?”
“Yeah just let me go up and use the bathroom.”
Emily nodded walked into the kitchen, Joe grabbed his cell and walked upstairs and went into Emily’s bathroom. He dialed the number that he programmed into his phone.
“Hello.”
The girls voice said on the other end when she picked up.
“Darcy it’s Joe I need a favor.”
Emily stood in the kitchen mixing the batter together for the pancakes when Joe came back in the kitchen.
“Okay so what do you want me your wonderful sue chef to do?”
Joe asked in his best French accent, which made Emily laugh.
“You can start by getting another frying pan and starting on the hash the box is right there.”
Emily pointed to the box of hash browns, when eleven o’clock came Emily just walked down the stairs from getting dressed after her shower when the doorbell rang. She walked over and opened the door to see her cousin Darcy.
“Darcy hey girl what are you doing here?”
Emily said bringing Darcy into a hug when they pulled away Darcy walked into the house.
“Well I came to take you out for the day.”
Darcy said.
“Oh um Darcy you know I love hanging out with you but I have things to.”
“Emily Elizabeth Hughes you will go out with Darcy.”
Emily turned around to see Joe leaning against the sofa with his arms crossed over his chest.
“Joe we had this conversation last night.”
Joe shook his head and walked over.
“Darcy called her Mom at the Spa and set up a day of spa treatments for you.”
Emily was about to say something but Joe held up his hand.
“My treat okay you need this. Just go have fun don’t worry about anything, if you won’t do this for yourself then do it for me or for your Grandfather he would want you to go do something for yourself instead of doing things for everyone else.”
Emily knew Joe was right and walked back upstairs grabbing her purse, when she walked back downstairs Joe was leaning against the wall at the end of the stairs. When she was in front of him he pulled her into a hug.
“Have fun okay and enjoy yourself and don’t worry about anything thing.”
Emily nodded leaned up and kissed Joe’s cheek then left the house, Joe watched Darcy’s car pull out of the driveway then pulled out his cell and called Kevin,
“Hello.”
Kevin said when he answered the phone.
“You and Nick can come over now did you get what I said to get at the store?”
“Yeah.”
“Alright.”
Joe hung up and waited for Kevin and Nick.

Chapter 4

Around three that afternoon Emily and Darcy pulled up to Emily’s house, they got out of the car with bags filled with things. After the spa treatment they went and did a little shopping okay a lot of shopping on Emily’s part, she blew half of her month’s paycheck on clothes, bra’s, matching panties, lotion, shower gel, bubble bath and perfume. Of course Darcy being the best cousin treated Emily to some things, even though Emily protested.
“Thanks for today Darcy I really needed it.”
Emily said when they reached the front door.
“No prob cous.”
Emily laughed.
“Please don’t do that again.”
Emily said then opened the door and they walked in, the moment they walked in the house Emily knew something was different. For starters the house smelt like pine Pine-Sol, bleach, carpet freshener and hair freshener Emily knew without a doubt what happened.
“Hey Em, Darc your home early.”
Joe said walking into the living room to see Emily and Darcy, when Emily’s eyes meant his he saw a mixture of anger, happiness and relief in her eyes.
“Yeah I wanted to keep her out longer but she wanted to come home.”
Darcy said.
“Hey guys.”
Nick and Kevin said walking down the stairs, Emily didn’t know what to do she couldn’t even look at them afraid they’re see the look in her eyes. She sat her bags down and turned to Darcy.
“Thanks Darcy I had fun today, can go on home I have to take care of something.”
Darcy nodded hugged Emily and whispered in her ear,
“He was just trying to help don’t be too mad.”
Darcy pulled away and left the house.
“Kevin, Nick can you guys leave I need to talk to Joe alone.”
Emily said looking down at the floor Nick and Kevin looked at each other then too Joe who nodded his head. They walked passed Emily and out the door, Emily walked over to the bay window and watched as they walked across the street then she turned around to Joe trying to keep calm but it wasn’t working.
“What did you do?”
She practically yelled at him.
“What? The guys and I cleaned the house for you while you were gone.”
“Why? It’s my job my responsibility to do it not yours nor Kevin or Nick’s, mine.”
Emily yelled walking over to stand in front of Joe.
“My Mom told me to clean the house not you and your brothers me. You had no right to do this.”
Now Joe lost his temper.
“I had to right Emily look at you that’s all you’re about anymore cleaning, working doing whatever your Mother tells you. If she told you to go clean the Empire State building you would do it.”
“She’s my Mother I’m supposed to do whatever she tells and asks me to do.”
“I know but you take it too far Em. Your taking responsibility for things that aren’t your responsibility to do, I’m not saying you shouldn’t help out cause you should but your taking on the responsibility that would be your Fathers.”
“What? That is not what I’m doing.”
“Yes it is, think about it Emily everything your Mom asks you do would be things your Dad would do. When the garage door broke two months ago who fixed it? You, who fixed the coffee machine even though she didn’t know what she was doing? You. This house is too big for your Mom to clean by herself so who does it? You when I recall your Dad did it before he left, not only his responsibilities but your Mothers too. She does nothing but cook dinner you do everything else with no help what so ever, you’re running yourself to exhaustion Em your nineteen but yet you have the responsibilities of a thirty year old.”
“Well I don’t see anyone else doing anything, they just sit on their butts all day and do nothing. Who else Joe is going to do the things that need to be done? They’re not going to do themselves and if they don’t do it then I have too.”
“Your missing my point Em your doing too much, a lot more then what you should. They use you don’t you see that, they know if they don’t do something your do it.”
“What am I suppose to do not do it.”
Emily yelled tears pouring from her eyes.
“Yes!”
Joe yelled making Emily jump back he has never yelled at her before and Joe regretted it the moment he did, he didn’t mean for it to come out as a yell.
“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to yell but listen to me Emily you have to stop doing this. What are they going to do come September when you go to TCNJ huh they’re have to fend on their own then.”
Emily didn’t think about that she was just so happy that she got accepted to The College of New Jersey she didn’t think about that.
“I don’t know.”
Emily whispered.
“Your still going right?”
That was a stupid question Joe knew that getting her masters in English so she can become a romance novel writer is everything to Emily.
“Of course Joe you know getting my masters in English is everything to me, you know I dream of writing for one of the big romance novel publishers.”
“I know look we’re getting off subject here. I’m not saying you can’t take responsibility for things it’s just your taking too much responsibility you can’t fix the world Em.”
 Emily broke down in sobs crumbling to her knees with her face in her hands Joe ran over and got down on his knees bringing her into his arms.
“First my Grandfather dies then a year later my Dad just leaves. Up and leaves without saying goodbye snuck out while we were at Darcy’s birthday party and left a note saying he was sorry then two months later separation papers arrive. He just left Joe left me to heave the responsibility of this family on my shoulders.”
Joe knew it was a matter of time before she crumbled and let everything out.
“I know baby I know.”
“He left me to do everything he should be here to do, I so tried of putting on this mask and pretending that everything is okay when it isn’t. I take of everyone but me and I’m tried of it for once I want to be happy and to do what I want to do instead of worrying about everyone else.”
Emily continued to sob into Joe’s chest and he rubbed her back.
“This shouldn’t be your burden to bare and I think it’s time you stopped.”
Joe said and Emily nodded her head and pulled away from Joe, he took off her glasses and wiped her tears away.
“Come on lets go in the bathroom and clean you up.”
Emily nodded and followed Joe into the half bath in between the dinning room and the living room.
