Josh Richards Imagines

H A T E

This was requested by @fanficforyouuofc!! Thank you so much!!

Maya's POV:

It was about 11:30 ish in the morning and I went out to grab me and Josh some lunch. I've noticed he's been a little off lately so I told him we could just have a chill day. We have been in the bed pretty much all morning but I figured that I would go get Josh one of his favorites to hopefully cheer him up a little bit. I picked up our food and then made my way back home. It was about at 15 minute drive give or take a few minutes. I pulled into the driveway and opened the garage. I parked my car, grabbed the food and headed inside. I thought Josh would already be downstairs waiting for me since he stressed to me how hungry he was, but he was nowhere to be seen. I set our food down on the counter and went upstair to check on Josh.

M- Josh I'm h- 

I opened our door to see him in a ball on our bed crying. I don't ever see josh cry so something really had to be wrong.

M- oh baby

I say running over to him. Right when I got over to the bed he sat up and I immediately hugged him. I ended up on my back and he was laying on my chest. I was playing with his hair with one hand and I held tightly onto his with the other.

J- Maya

he said in a soft voice

M- hmmm

J- please don't leave

He wrapped his arms around my neck and hugged me tightly.

M- Bubba can you tell me what's wrong?

He didn't reply for a few moments.

M- If your not ready that's totally ok, I just want to help you that's all 

I say in the most reassuring tone that I had. He sat up and climbed next to me. We sat next to each other and I grabbed his hand and held it tight.

J- so recently I have been getting a lot of hate. More than normal I should say. I'm just so done. It's stupid stuff too but I've just been letting it get to me. Some of it actually hurt. when people say that i'm not good enough for you it makes me feel very insecure. People are always sending me rude and hateful messages and I know it comes along with being and influencer but I guess I just wasn't expecting the sudden wave of hate to come at me all at once. Some of it isn't "hate" it's just people bringing up stuff I did back in Canada which isn't the problem. The problem is that they are twisting it in all different directions and making me seem like such a bad person. I know I'm not but just knowing that, that's what people thinking of me hurts.

He says sniffling occasionally. I sat there listening to everything he said just letting him rant. When I go through something like this, Josh does the same exact thing and it makes me feel better knowing that someone is listening to me so I'm going to do the same for him. I feel like I knew this was coming but I didn't know when. Hate has already gotten to me multiple times and I was just waiting for the time when I got to go in and comfort Josh.

M- Most of the time this whole situation is vice versa so I truly and speaking from experience. I know exactly how you feel. They get so over their heads in jealousy that they say things that they would never say to your face. First, I am NOT to good for you. If anyone is to good for somebody in this relationship it's you. They just say that cause they want what we have. Second, When it comes to people bringing up past stuff and twisting and turning it to make you seem like the bad guy, ignore it. You know what actually happened and what the truth is. And Josh you are not a bad person. You are the complete opposite. I have no words to describe how genuine and good of a person you are. I love you Josh and I hate seeing you like this. I honestly think you should take a break. Nothing permanent but just to take a breath of fresh air and get away from the haters.

I honestly felt so good to be on the opposite side of the comforting for once. I pulled him into a hug.

M- thank you so much for opening up to me. It really did make me feel important and that you trusted me with your feelings.

J- You are the first person I will go to if I ever have a problem babygirl

I wiped his red cheeks and kissed his lips softly.

M- oh yeah and the food is downstairs

J- THANK GOD I'M STARVING

He jumped off of the bed and ran downstairs. I giggle to myself and follow behind him. While we ate we created a post that explained his short little break. I think it will be good for him and maybe them how much hate can really affect someone. One thing about Josh is that he genuinely cares what people think about him. He doesn't want to make a bad impression. I completely understand why this affected him the way it did. I love this boy so much that I can't even explain it and when people hurt him, they hurt me.
