"I'm pregnant."
His face. His totally normal face that was there seconds ago. It goes blank. White as a ghost.
Joel blinks once. "You're what?"
"It's yours," you blurt out, panicking. "I haven't been with anyone in awhile, and you were the last person..."
The one in which you are pregnant with Joel miller's baby.

After a tragic car accident that took the life of your father and your twin sister, you are left to spiral in the home you grew up in. You do anything to numb the pain; drinking, drugs, partying, lying in bed, depressed for months. You notice the eyes of the neighbor across the street watching you every time you stumble in late, or you notice food left on your porch when you haven't seen the sunlight in a few days. After months of reckless behavior, Joel is there to rescue you from yourself, but have your ways of coping gone too far for even him to help?

Summary
Of course, Joel Miller, your stupid, annoying neighbor who has been a thorn in your side since the moment you moved into your grandmother's house after she passed away, can only focus on what you were doing wrong.
All he’s ever done since you met him is point out every fucking thing you do wrong around your house. ‘No, that’s not how you clean out your gutters, let me do that.’ or ‘That ain’t how you use a power washer, give it here.’ or your all-time favorite, ‘What are ya doin’? You’re liable to break a blade mowin’ your lawn like that.’ You'd love to just punch him in his smug, handsome face.

Summary
After your grandfather’s passing, you find yourself moving into his home in Texas. You meet the Millers; Tommy, his older brother Joel and his daughter Sarah. With time, you and Tommy become close friends and Sarah visits you often. But Joel…Joel keeps his distance. The reason for this is due to one crucial fact you don’t know but he does; Tommy has a crush on you. Which means you’re off limits no matter what. But as your own feelings for Joel grow, things start to get more and more complicated.
Note: Joel is 36 and since I saw Tommy's age nowhere, I decided to give them a five-year age gap which will make Tommy 31 in this story. Reader is in her late twenties.

Summary
Tumblr user blossom862 asked: "Hello! Could you do a one-shot were reader thinks Joel and Tess are an item, but it turns out Joel is interested in her? " so this is what I came up with lol
No apocalypse AU where Joel is your next-door neighbor and co-owns a construction company with Tess and they have a situationship. Sarah is away at school and you're home for the summer while your parents are away on vacation and you're 25. Joel invites you to work on a construction project with him and things only get steamier from there!!
