I: Aftermath

February 3rd, 2018//

"Joe..." Remy's voice was more than careful when opening the door. A response wasn't made as she entered the quiet backstage room. Once she shut the heavy door behind her the sound of angry breathing began.

"Joe..." She cooed once more clutching the bundle of bright orange flowers she had been given from a fan.

"Get the fuck out of here, Rem." It was clear he had been crying, but that didn't stop his voice from sounding rancid and mad. Remy knew better though. She turned the corner even though her heart told her not to.
"I'm serious! I want to be alone!" He yelled at her.

Getting up from his seat Joe shoved Remy across the room. The vibrant flowers she had in her hand were now scattered across the floor. Her legs laid scrambled as her eyes began to well with tears. She couldn't decide whether to leave him alone or stay and assure him everything was going to be okay. This was exactly what she didn't want to happen.

Remy stood up slowly and moved by the door in shock as he paced the room. "Joe, you can't be mad at yourself." She managed to choke out. "Everyone is still so proud of you."

Joe balled up his fists and darted his eyes at Remy. It made her almost sick to her stomach seeing his left eye swollen shut and blood coming from his bottom lip. Remy squealed as Joe threw both of his fists past her. The sound of Joe's fists hitting the door echoed the room. "Are you bloody blind, Remona!?" He screamed into her face.

Remy's breathing at the time could be described as short and terrified. His has happened multiple timea before and it never ended well.

Joe pinned Remy's shaking shoulders harshly against the metal door, his soulless eyes glared into hers until Remy watched the tears form along his waterline. His grip on her shoulders tightened before he pushed himself away from her. Remy let out the breath she had been holding in. "Joe, I think you-"

"I don't even want to fucking hear it!" He spat. "I don't give a shit about your pathetic opinion, Rem. All of this was just fucking pointless." Joe rambled on, muttering rants to himself as Remy stifled her cry. His frustrations got the best of him as multiple items began flying through the room.

"Joe..." Remy tried one last time to get through to him.

But he let out a loud laugh that horrified her, "Why the fuck are you still here!?" Yelling with such power. "You know what? Get the fuck out of here, Rem. I don't ever want to fucking see you again."

The words punctured her heart. With every syllable came more wrenching pain. All she could do was stand weakly by the door, with her fingertips on the handle and tears streaming down her face. "You don't really mean that..."

"Get out!" He screamed before picking up a near-by wine glass and launching toward her head. As the glass shattered against the door, Remy didn't take another second to walk out. Even after shutting the door behind her, she could still hear Joe wrecking the room.

She leaned herself against the wall, wincing at every crash she heard. That was until she heard laughter coming from the down the halls. Getting her act together, Remy wiped her face free from tears with her sleeve that read Team Weller.

She recognized the three loud figures walking down the halls as Calfreezy, Wroetoshaw, and Danny from Racka Racka. She groaned mentally as she realized where they were headed. Remy stayed as close to Joe's door as she could once they started approaching her. Danny looked Remy up and down once they all stopped their banter.

"Remy fucking Madison?" Calfreezy spoke up crossing his arms.

"Oi, this is Joe's girl, eh?" Danny chimed in, following his question with petty laughter. "I just won ninety-five-k off that Bellend." Referring to Joe.

Remy gave them all disgusted looks as they laughed, "You all are sick in the head." She spat. "Especially you, Freezy." Remy gave him an awful glare. "Joe trusted you. Of course, you'd fucking turn against him during a time like this. All for what? Fucking clout?" She shoved Cal out of frustration. "For more views out of KSI? Cal?"

"Is everything okay?" Harry caught on, suddenly concerned.

"Oh fuck off." Remy rolled her eyes at Harry. "I barely even know you and I'm sure Joe doesn't give a shit about you anymore, so why would you start caring now?" She sniffled, unable to hold her tears any longer.

Danny began to laugh slightly thinking it was a joke, but Cal shook his head at him as a warning.

"Rem... I'm sorry. Is Joe okay?" Calfreezy took a step toward her.

"No!" She yelled out of anger. "Our whole damn relationship is over because of this stupid fight. I hope everyone got what they wanted." Remy glared at Danny, who seemed to be lost in this whole situation. Cal made Danny and Harry leave the premises so he could talk to Remy alone.

"I don't even want to look at you, Freezy." She murmured under her sniffles.

"Look Rem, I am so sor-"

"Save it, Cal." She sighed. "I know its been awhile, but can you just do me a favor?"

"Yeah... Rem." He replied softly.

"I... need a ride to Joe's flat. He doesn't..." She gulped, avoiding any further sobs to come crawling out. "He basically dumped me, Cal. Will you please just drop me off so I can get my things?"

Cal couldn't deny her. Afterall, it had been several months since he had made any contact with Joe or Remy. And now that he had, suddenly the couple was split and he couldn't help but feel guilty for it all.

×××

Calfreezy put the car in park as Remy frowned slightly, "Thanks Freeze." But he wouldn't unlock the doors.

"Rem, if you and Joe really are splitting... then where are you going to go?" He asked softly.

"Ill have to go back to Manchester." She sighed.

"No, Rem. Come stay with me... just for a couple of days. I'm sure Joe isn't getting rid of you that easy." He assured with a slight smile, but Remy didn't budge. "Plus, we don't want the whole world knowing about this anyway... right?"

"I don't want the world knowing I'll be staying with you either. Its a lose-lose situation, Cal."

"Well, just think about it while you're in there. I'll wait for you."

The first thing Remy did whenever she got into the flat was reminisce in all the memories she had shared with Joe in there for the last several months. She didn't want it to be over. Remy was taken out of her trance once she reached the kitchen. After grabbing the whole roll of trashbags, she began to stuff all of her clothes and other belongings into the bags.

Once there was two full bags tumbled together by the front door, Remy had one more thing she wanted to grab.
After searching through his drawers for what seemed like forever, Remy finally pulled out Joe's Chelsea jersey before snuggling her face into it with a slight urge to cry once again.

Calfreezy's trunk was easily filled with Remy's items. She got in the passenger seat and put on her seatbelt before she let out an exhausted sigh. "Alright, if I crash at your place, do you promise not to tell anyone?" She asked Cal, holding out her pinky.

"I pinky-promise, Rem."
