I was the first to wake up, Kevin and I didn't dare to ask questions. We didn't even dare to speak to Joe when we returned to room last night.
"Joe, hunny what happened?" Mom asked concerned when he showed his face at the hotel once again. He knew his face was red and covered in tear stains. He pushed her away when she tried to hug him.
"We're through," he whispered the announcement to the table, before walking back to the hotel. We all just sat there in shock. Denise and Amy seemed to be most upset by the news however.
"Aw, I'm gonna miss you Kev!" Amber's voice squealed as she hugged Kevin tightly, I had embraced Katelyn tightly, stroking her hair. She was very quiet.
Joe slowly rolled out of bed. He was dressed in just his boxers, his hair a mess. He walked over to us, avoiding all eye contact with Katelyn.
"Hey Joe," Amber gave him a sad smile, she opened her arms, and Joe gave her a big hug.
"I'm gonna miss ya, squirt," He chuckled, we knew he was faking his mood.
"I'll miss you too," Amber patted his arm comfortingly, "Call me sometime."
"I will," Joe smiled, leaning against the wall, still not looking at Katelyn.
"And put some pants on," Amber joked, smirking at him. He laughed back, shaking his head.
"Bye Kev," Katelyn's voice was quite and Joe looked over to see her giving Kevin a hug, I noticed the heartbreak written all over his face.
Amber tackled me into a bear hug, "Best friends," she whispered.
"Best friends," I whispered back, smiling. I would miss this more than anything.
"Joe," Katelyn nodded, she had forced his name out of her mouth and it was everything she could do to not cry.
"Katelyn," Joe nodded. Katelyn stared at him a moment before turning, she and Amber said one last "Goodbye," and they were out the door.
"I'm sorry man," Kevin gave Joe a hug.
"It just wasn't meant to be," I added patting his brother on the back. Joe just shrugged them off, grabbing some clothes and walking into the bathroom. I let out a sigh, things were going to be hell for awhile. I felt my phone vibrate, a text message from Amber.
"You+Me+Bahamas, we're Inseparable ;&hearts"
