Josh Richards Imagines

D I V O R C E

Hazel's POV-

M- Hazel can you come downstairs please

H- sure mom

I walked downstairs to see both of my parents sitting at opposite ends of the couch. I sat in between them wondering what all this was about.

D- your mother and I wanted to talk to you about something

H- ok...

M- your father and I decided that it would be best for us and for you if we got a divorce.

I couldn't believe it. 

They had been fighting a lot recently but I didn't think they would take it to this extent.

D- I know it's a lot to take in sweetie but you just have to trust that it's what's best for all of us

H- Why?

M- why what?

H- why would y'all break our family apart like that

M- hunny you have to understand that it's what's best for us 

D- we just don't think we are fit for each other anymore

How are they so calm. I was so upset and angry at them for abandoning everything we have. We sat in silence for a few moments and then I got up and left. I made it into my room and locked the door. I slid down the door and put my head in my hands as the tears started to fall. I lifted my head up and ran my fingers through my hair. I didn't know what to do. I don't know why I was so upset about this but I was. I decided that I was going to call my boy best friend Josh. I had tears coming down my face uncontrollably. I had never really shown my emotions to him before but I was willing to risk it in hopes he could calm me down. I facetimed him praying he would pick up the phone for once. When he picked up the phone he was playing the game. He glanced at the phone for a quick sec and then back to the game and then back at me. I guess it hadn't quite registered.

J- woah woah, what happened?

he said in a panicked tone

H- t-they told me they w-were getting a d-divorce and i-i-i don't know who to go to

I stutter

J- hey hey, stay there ok?

he says softly

He then hangs up and I just sat there shocked that he would hang up on me. Josh lived right down the road from me but still. I got even more upset and started destroying everything in my room. I went to the mirror in my room and stared at myself for a second and then started smashing it with my hands, while I broke it I started to scream out in anger. While I was breaking the mirror I felt someone grab me from behind. It was Josh. I know his scent anywhere. 

J- STOP, LOOK AT ME, baby , i need you to stop

He said in a demanding tone. 

I stopped only because he called me baby and he's never done the before

J-I'm here, right here

He whispered into my ear while he pulled me into a hug

I couldn't take it anymore. I broke down in his arms. We both somehow got to the floor but we never stopped hugging.

J- I'm not gonna let you go, we're gonna get through this..... I'm not leaving

H- I just don't understand 

J- what don't you understand

H- why? like why did they have to ruin our family?

J- I know they probably told you this but it's probably for this best. They don't want to be miserable and they don't want you to be miserable. They love you and that's why there doing this.

I just put my head in his neck. He grabbed the back of my head and played with my hair until I fell asleep. He carried me to my bed and didn't leave until the next morning....
