Future Journey 3/3

New york is home

Colleen POV

I land and call Josh. He sounds relieved I am safe. He worries when he isn't around. John my friend from university picks me up and we go back to his place and get settled. He loves when I come to town and I usually stay with him or Frankie. I call Frankie and we all go out for dinner. They are both excited I will be here for 6 weeks and we discuss the TV show, the kids and life. I love these two guys. We had back to Johns and I fall asleep as I have meetings all day. I do the same thing for days writing the new show and building ideas. Before I know it 5 days has gone by and I have barely talked to Josh. It is now Friday night and I call him all excited on my show work, exciting ideas etc and he answers the phone annoyed. "Hello" he says. "Hi baby!! How are you? I miss you?" I say. "Really? I haven't heard from you for days" he says annoyed,"I have just been really busy and working 12 hours a day and things are crazy! How are the kids?" I ask him. "Fine" he says. "JOsh I know you are mad but I was working. I am not on vacation or anything" I say. " Uh huh" he says. "Well I called to tell you about my week but you don't sound interested so when you get out of your shitty mood call me back" I say and then I hang up. I am crying cause I feel so bad but on the other hand Josh is the more emotional out of the two of us and I was working. It is what I came here to do.

Josh POV

Colleen just hung up on me because I was being a jerk. I know she is working but she could have texted or quickly called throughout the week. I put down my phone refusing to call her back. I am still upset. I go back and listen to my first draft on some of the songs I recorded for my album that I have recorded this week. They sound amazing and I call one of my new music managers to thank them for sending it to me. Teresa answers the phone and I thank her for sending me the first draft to listen to over the weekend. "Josh Its so good!" she says. "you are going to do so well!" she adds. "Thanks I hope so. Its always been a dream of mine" I say. "Well go celebrate with your family and have a fabulous weekend!" she says. "I wish my wife is away for weeks on business in New York" I say. "Oh" she says "talk to you on Monday Josh" she adds and with that she hangs up. I sit back on the couch and watch TV. I phone Arnold and Tim and talk to them about listening to it and they agree to come over the next night and have a guys night in. I can't wait to see them and have some adult company.

The next night comes and we are drinking beer and we are listening to the album when the doorbell rings. Its 9pm so I am shocked at who it could be. I answer it and its Teresa. "Hey!" I say "Hey Josh! you sounded sad about being alone last night and with no one to celebrate so I thought I would come over and keep you company" as she hugs me. I am immediately aware of why she is coming over.
