Just for a Moment

Sorry for the late upload😅

Ok, so I know there is the whole thing about Joshua 'jokingly' coming out (that is in quotes because at first, it was hard to tell if he was serious or not).

Many people were not necesarily happy with this because they believed he was being insensitive by joking about something many people struggle with. But once he cleared some things up, people were all about supporting him yet again. That is the problem: people's double standards. People either hate him or love him; there is no in between.

I personally think it is stupid that we can not be civilized human beings about this. Are we not at a point in time where something like this should be normal? Instead, people are picking him apart and trying to find a label instead of letting him be happy with himself.

With that being said, he has done this:

In short, he is not telling us what he identifies as and obviously does not have to. (Not only that, but he still has his whole life ahead of him to figure it out.)

Also, this is another disclaimer that I will be continuing this book. I know that this story technically implies Joshua is straight (as it is the relationship evolution of him and Olivia), but then again, it is just a figment of my imagination; I had an idea for a story and went with it. I am so insanley happy that Joshua is comfortable to say something like this publicly and have been supporting since him since way back when; this story is merely a fake and imaginary speculation of their lives.

🚨THIS IS A FANFIC🚨

I have said this before, but it never hurts to show it again: this is a FAKE story. This is what is real: the characters (or people/actors in this instance), setting (being Salt Lake City), some events (which I always point out if they are based on real-life or not [for example, the cast really did have some time to bond with each other before filming officially started]), and that they are filming a TV show. The drama I use to make this an interesting story is FAKE; it is not realistic nor is it based on real life events at all.

I wanted to make this note before someone questions whether or not I am respecting Joshua's recent news.

I am not sure what else to say, but if I missed something, please tell me.

*One Long Story Later*
Everyone had their jaws dropped; they were speechless and didn't know what to say. "So all the near-death experiences were... on purpose?" Julia mutters.

"Why didn't you just tell us?" Dara asks.

"Because I wanted to try and ignore everything."

"You can't expect something like that to just disappear."

"That explains what your parents were talking about," Sofia says.

"What?" Olivia asked.

"At the skating rink, I overheard your parents talking about Ethan doing something, but I didn't know what. I guess that question's been answered," she explained.
