It was you, all along.

Good job. (Chapter 24)

Lia's POV 

I got up and checked Instagram. A bunch of pictures of Josh were on my feed. It's as if Instagram was saying 'Yeah you like him, don't you?'

Maybe I do. God why!? Why I know it's going to fall to shit! I can't have anymore crushes! Y'know what? I don't even care. I'll just confess and see how this heartbreak works out. Today is Saturday, and I have the whole weekend to cry about it if he rejects me. I stood up and stretched. Yeah, I'll just do it today I suppose. I dressed in a black cardigan, pink pleated skirt, and black heels. I walked into the kitchen and made myself a coffee. For breakfast I'll just go with a granola bar.

J: "Hey Lia."

"Morning."

J: "Plans?"

"Confessing."

J: "..to who?"

"Josh." 

J: "Lia, think this through. You don't want to be heartbroken again do you? You just got over Elias as well"

"I know it's just, I want a shot at true love."

J: "Whatever, suit yourself. I'll be here for when you need me."

I nodded and him and knocked on Aliya's door.

A: "Come in."

"Hey, Aliya."

A: "Hm?"

"I'm confessing to Josh today."

She didn't say anything for awhile until she finally spoke up.

A: "Have fun."

I nodded and walked out. 

-----------------------------Aliya's POV-----------------------------

L: "I'm confessing to Josh today"

I rolled my eyes. I do not give one shit anymore. Lia will probably date 20 more boys before she realizes that nothing will work out for her. Whatever, if she enjoys heartbreak she can go ahead and have another person break her heart. I don't give a flying fuck anymore. 

"Have fun."

She walked out. Thank god. I couldn't handle another minute of that. I wonder what this 'Josh' will do. Cheat? Confess to someone else? Reject her? The possibilities are endless. I felt bad for Jamie, having to constantly comfort her. We've told her multiple times that she should take a break from guys, but does she listen to us? No. 

-----------------------------Lia's POV-----------------------------

I walked to Josh's dorm. 49e. I knocked on the door and he opened it.

"Um, hey Josh."

I smiled

Josh: "Hey Lia."

His face seemed to light up.

"I.. I uh having something to say."

Josh: "Okay, go ahead."

"I really like you. Like, as more than friends."

He smiled

Josh: "I.. do too."

"Great! Uh- do you wanna go out sometime?"

Josh: "Sure, how about at that one restaurant that's like a block away from Granit?" 

"Hmm you mean Rose royals?"

Josh: "Yeah!"

"Yeah! That works!"

Josh: "5:00pm, tomorrow?"

That seems a bit early. A nervous feeling spiked my stomach but I figured I should agree.

"Sure."

Josh: "I'll cya then."

I nodded. I decided I'd go to the cafe that Granit had for a bit before returning to my dorm.

-----------------------------Josh's POV-----------------------------

Lord that was so easy. I was so excited. Alexa is going to be paying me big bucks now. I laughed to myself. Making Lia fall in love with me was so easy. Alexa really wasn't lying. Tomorrow at 5:00. Watch out Lia, your life is going to get worse. 

Sorry that was a short chapter! The next chapter is going to be longer as it's going to have more details!
