---OLI POV---

I sat by myself in the deserted wood, just waiting until I felt better about myself, and able to go back. The wait was never ending. All I wanted was Josh, but he was the reason I left and every time I thought about him in depth, I felt physically sick.

Every 5 minutes my phone beeped. Josh. Every 10 minutes my phone rang. Josh. Every second I thought about someone. Josh. But I didn't think about him in a good way. In fact I dont know what I thought of him right now, it felt as though I was questioning my sexuality like I did a few years ago, but this time I was just questioning Josh, but it seemed just as challenging.

A cool breeze ran through the woods where I sat by myself with nothing but my phone and some food from back at the hotel. The breeze brushed through my hair, and it reminded me of the other day on stage, when there was a breeze during Bite My Tongue. I felt my heart beat faster when I thought of Josh's perfect voice forming a tune.

I lay my body down on the uneven dirt. I closed my eyes, and tried to sleep. I wanted to sleep forever, but with Josh laying right by my side to wake me up if he needed me. I would wake up any day for Josh, but I'm not sure he would do the same, not after what happened earlier.

I waited for what seemed like forever for my body to fall unconscious, unaware of anything around me, and completely asleep, and eventually it did.

Whilst I slept, I felt myself shivering through the bitter cold night. Hours had passed but it felt like seconds.

My body lay still for a while longer, until in the back of my mind I heard a quiet crunch of twigs on the ground. My eyes started to move around and my hands felt as if they had woken up. I felt the presence of someone right up close against my face, but I didn't think anything of it until I felt something brush against my arm.

Hesitantly, I opened my eyes, and jerked at the sight of two, big, blue eyes staring into mine. I slowly sat up, as I ran my fingers through my hair to get rid of any bits of dirt or sticks from the ground where I slept.

A sense of confusion swept over me as I stared at the little boy standing in front of me, waiting for me to say something. Clearing my throat, he looked hopeful as I opened my mouth to speak.

'H...Hello!' I greeted him, my voice conveying my confusion.

He stood and smiled at me, as if he couldn't speak. I saw a scared look splashed on his face as I stood up and walked towards him.

As I crouched down by him, I asked him, 'Are you okay? You seem lost.' I wanted to help him because I didn't know where his parents were, and he looked terrified.

'I don't know where I am.' He told me, his blue eyes looking up at me, reminding me of Josh's.

'Well, do you know where your Mummy and Daddy are?' I asked him, as his blonde hair was slightly brushed by the breeze which had picked up a little since the last time.
Instead of speaking, he shook his head, and I reached out my hand as he put his hand in mine. I stood up and took him to the tree I had been lying by.

'Do you know where my Mummy and Daddy are?' He asked me, as I squeezed his hand tighter, to let him know I was there for him.

'No, I don't. I'm sorry.' I replied as I looked down and the ground.

'But, you can stay with me until we find them.' I offered, as a beaming smile formed on his face, making me smile along with him.

'I'm Oli. How old are you? What's your name?' I asked him as I realised I didn't know anything about him apart from he was lost with no parents, and his eyes reminded me of Josh's, beautiful.
