she walks into her home joel and her have made for themselves in Jackson. she was having a bad day everything was just going wrong, she was helping in the gardens she smashed not one but two pots (two separate occasions by the way) she sliced her hand open somehow on the pot which made clean up a whole lot messier and that was only the start of it. when she finally got home she was overwhelmed all she wanted was to curl up in bed and sleep. she walks into the house and it’s a mess after joel saying he’d promise to clean up which obviously didn’t happen. instead of greeting joel in the living room like she usaly would she headed straight upstairs just wanting to get away from it all. As she headed to bed, Joel was leaning against the doorway watching her, his brow slightly scrunched together. Once he saw that she had settled herself in, he sighed and approached her. He wanted to leave it at that, but he felt like they had to talk about what had been happening. So he sat down at the foot of her bed, hands on his knees.

"Sweetie, we have to talk."

she looked up from the cocoon of duvets she was wrapped in meeting joel’s eyes she knew the tone of his voice, the slight hesitation that it wasn’t a conversation that he wanted to have.

“what about?..”

Joel paused, his eyes slowly looking at her for a moment. Then he breathed in and out once.

"Can you come out from under those covers? Please?"

she sat up pushing the covers to her lap she bit at her cracked bottom lip feeling an anxiety ball in her stomach “what’s wrong joel?”

Joel crossed his left leg on top of his right, moving his hands to his lap. In a neutral expression, he looked her in the eye again, and sighed. "Sweetie, I'm worried about you."

“why? i’m fine” she looked up at him smiling hoping that would calm his worry’s and she wouldn’t have to further this conversation

"No, you're not." He quickly shot down, leaning forward in his chair again. "I'm not blind; I see the way you act sometimes. This whole thing with the gardening...that's not normal."

“gardening..isn’t normal?” she smiled trying to brush it off.

Joel gave her a soft smile, but he shook his head and spoke up again."No, sweetheart, losing your temper over a couple of broken pots isn't normal. Not when you're such a calm, level-headed person. Are you sure everything's okay?"

“how do you… i’m fine it was just a mistake how did you know about that..?” she felt herself get more anxious looking down at her lap fidgeting her her hands.

Joel looked up and raised his eyebrows slightly, wondering how to explain it in a way that wouldn't make him seem like a stalker.

"One of the neighbors...umm...they mentioned it in passing. Said you seemed really stressed out. I wanted to make sure you were okay and..." Joel paused for a moment, realizing he had no way to avoid sounding like a creep. "And that I didn't need to worry."

“well you don’t because i’m fine joel” she pulls the covers off her hoping to escape the conversation by making some excuse “i think i’m gonna go make some dinner it’s getting late”

"Is it something I'm doing? Or is it something to do with the past; something that makes you like this sometimes?" Joel shook his head.

"It's not just the pots, and deep down you know that. I know there's more going on, so how about you talk to me instead of brushing me off?" He paused and looked her in the eyes, showing some worry.

“like what joel? what have i done” she felt herself getting irritated with the constant questioning she knew he wanted to do right by her but she just felt so weird talking about that kinda stuff

"Sweetie, you know that there's something...off." He paused for a moment. "Look at how you've been acting. Always in a bad mood, always irritated and you snap at me for no reason. I'm not angry, I'm not blaming you, I just want to know what's going on." He paused again, and sighed.

"And if there's anything I can do to help." He said, his tone now softer.

she felt the guilt seeping through her. she knew she hasn’t been a very good partner recently and joel’s been so good through all of it he didn’t deserve that. she felt her chest clam up and a lump in her throat that she couldn’t quite swallow “i-i’m… i’m sorry joel”

"It's okay, sweetheart. You're going through a lot, I understand that. But I am here to support you however I can, and you just have to be open with me and let me know what's going on." He paused, and pulled away from the hug. He placed his hands back in his lap. "Please."

“i don’t know how.. how to explain it. everything has just been going wrong and every time i try to fix it everything just gets worse and i- i don’t know what to do”

she only just noticed the tears rolling down her face clouding her vision. Joel gave her a warm, empathetic smile, then got up from the chair. As he stood, he knelt down to her level and hugged her once more. He just stayed still for a moment, but then spoke softly.

"It's okay, sweetie. Sometimes life just decides it wants to kick you in the ass and you just have to take it. You know you can always count on me to support you through it all. That's what I'm here for."

“i just feel so weak asking for help i should be able to handle this kinda stuff on my own why… why can’t i?” she mumbled into joel’s chest her tears getting heavier as she comes to terms with how she’s feeling. Joel kissed the top of her head, not speaking for a couple of seconds. He then hugged her tighter and sighed once more.

"Sweetheart, you don't have to handle it on your own. There's nothing shameful about asking for help. You're one of the toughest people I know and even you get overwhelmed now and then. Life's just an ass like that." He paused, then looked her in the eyes once more. “So talk to me, okay? I'm here to help."

“i will… im sorry for being so mean to you, you didn’t deserve it” she looked up at him still feeling guilty.

Joel smiled warmly and waved his hand. "Sweetie, no apologies necessary. I understand what you're going through, and I know you don't mean any of it. What's past is past, and I'm not upset. So how about we start over? Clean slate?" He paused and held out his hand to her. "Shake on it?" He said, his tone slightly light-hearted and teasing.

she smiled laughing at his antics. “yeah shake on it”she takes his and shaking it “do you think we could..ehm go to bed?” she was starting to feel really tired she felt awkward asking for some reason.

"Sure we can, sweetheart." He leaned down and picked her up from the floor. "You ready for this big strong man to carry you to bed?" He said jokingly, walking towards the bedroom. As he entered the room, he sat down on the bed and looked at her for a moment, smiling before he placed her down and leaned back onto the mattress.

she giggles grasping onto joel not wanting to fall “don’t you dare drop me”

"I wouldn't dare drop you, sweetheart. Not when you're so precious to me." he lays her down on the bed getting her comfortable he lays next to her "Come and cuddle with me," He said, opening up his arms and gesturing towards himself. they get into bed and she snuggled up to joel’s chest as her wrapped her arms around her

Joel let go of an arm around her and pulled the covers over them both, moving closer to her once more. He rubbed his hand against her back and looked to see if she was comfortable, and then kissed the top of her head again. "Are you ready to take a little bit of a nap? It's late, and you seem pretty tired," He said with a kind, calm tone.

“mhm~ yes please” she mumbled into his chest. They both stayed still for a moment, before Joel began to slowly nod off, feeling his eyes get heavier by the second. As he felt her do the same, he softly whispered,

"Get some sleep, Sweetheart."
