Joey's P.O.V

I woke up on the morning of Lauren's transferal and headed downstairs to Uncle Max, Abi and Oscar.

"Morning, Joey" Said Max, Abi also briefly welcoming me and Oscar running towards me to pick him up.

"All right Uncle Max, Abi, Oscar" I addressed before picking Oscar up and swinging him onto my hip and he started telling me about his first day back at school yesterday. After our interaction I placed him down on the floor again and made myself some toast. Finishing my breakfast, I moved upstairs to get ready for the day ahead.

"You coming today, Uncle Max?" I asked, raising my eye brow slightly at the man who looked like he hadn't shaved for days, which he probably hadn't.

"I don't think that's such a good idea. I doubt she'll want me there." He admitted, standing up and walking to the kitchen, now packing Oscar's school bag for when Cora picked him up for school.

"Okay, well, I'll say you said hello and you'll go some time this week. You can't hide from her forever Uncle Max." I admitted, shrugging my coat onto my jeans and jumper clad body, sighing at the same time as he acknowledged me.

Lauren's P.O.V

Joey arrived to pick me up with several bags containing my belongings at about 11am. I smiled at him and took a bag off of him before he locked our lips. I moved backwards on the bed and pulled him with me, needing to feel some normality, I ran my tongue along his bottom lip. He rested his weight on his elbows as our tongues battled for dominance and the kiss grew all the more passionate. Joey slid his hand up my pyjama top and I felt his rock hard erection against my leg. Our undying passion was broke by the door swinging open revealing the doctor to do one final check up on me.

"Shit" Joey whispered after a sharp intake of breath. I giggled as my cheeks blushed and I apologised with Joey agreeing.

After about fifteen minutes the doctor had left, stating it was okay for me to go into the rehabilitation centre, as long as I would be in the best care we could provide which Joey assured him it was.

"So, hey" I laughed entwining my fingers.

"Hey, baby" He said, falling back on top of me as our lips connected again and our tongues danced.

I pushed him away with my hands on his shoulders.

"No, baby" I mimicked, "We gotta go" I added, smirking at his fake pout.

He handed me a bag and allowed me to take some clothes out of it. I chose a denim contrast boyfriend shirt tucked into my floral miniskirt accompanied by a pair of tights and platform boots. He looked me up and down and smirked.

"What? Gotta make a good impression" I winked at him.

"You're not making this any easier, babe" He admitted, his erection still very obvious. I slapped his arm.

"Come on then. Sooner I'm in there, sooner I'm out, ain't it" I smiled, my hands on my hips, as Joey walked over to me and placed his hands on my waist.

"Come on then" He imitated, smirking as he moved his face closer, I captured his lips once and pulled away. When I pulled away he moved back in and pecked me once before ushering me out of the room and picking my bags up for me.

Joey's P.O.V

We arrived at the rehab after an hours drive. I understand it's far away, but only the best for her. She slept most of the way there and it took everything I had to wake her up. She looked so peaceful.

"Wake up, beautiful, we're here" I whispered in her ear before I moved down her neck and assaulted her soft spot. With a moan she woke up and pushed me away.

"I swear to God, if you've marked me Joseph, we will be falling out!" She shouted, pulling the mirror down, as I laughed.

"I guess we're falling out then, baby, how you going to punish me?" I asked, smirking as she moved to straddle my lap.

"I'm not going to do anything." She whispered, her face only millimetres from my own.

"Tease" I said, gasping as she rolled back to her own seat, her not forgetting to thrust her hips against mine. She smirked at me and opened the door, climbing out of my car, ushering me to follow.

We went into the rehabilitation centre and signed in. Lauren sighed when she saw her white room with Chester coloured flooring.

"Did you pack my art stuff, Joe? This room is so lifeless" She asked me, looking at me seriously.

"Yeah don't worry it's all in there. I also packed a new pack of cartridge paper." I said, smiling.

"What would I do without you. Again, you're a godsend, baby. So much more reliable than my petty excuse of a dad." She said, walking over to me and grasping the lapels on my coat.

"What happened with your dad, Lauren? He's adamant you won't want to see him." I asked, curiosity getting the better of me.

"Well, basically, he just wasn't there for me. All those months when my mum would go to sleep wondering if she will wake up he was out of sight. Then when my mum died he didn't comfort me. Just told me to move on. Then before I got drunk yesterday, well, he just took all of his grief out on me, Joey. Then he didn't come to the hospital." She admitted.

I watched the girl in front of me, normally so confident, breaking down. I pulled her into my chest and just sat with her whilst she cried. She was shaking. I ran my fingers through her hair throughout this and it did make her relax. I felt it in my arms. She was so fragile and weak. She gradually stopped crying.

"I'm sorry." She said, her voice hoarse.

"Don't be. I'm here for you baby, thick and thin, you've got me." I told her, running my hand down her back.

"I want to be alone, go Joey, please." She asked.

"It's okay, babe, I don't mind being here with you." I admitted.

"No, just go, Joey. I don't want to be around anyone." I nodded my head and obliged, walking out, gathering my coat in my hands.

I could hear her faintly crying as I walked away.
