Oli's POV

I sighed, staring at the clock which was in the classroom. A week, a whole week since that fateful day. The day I became a fucking wreck. I had been avoiding Josh all week. I didn't want him to see state I was left in. I swear that I sometimes saw Josh stare at me from his seat at the front in concern, it made me feel happy but I was suddenly reminded of that night. "He wouldn't look at me like that. Especially after the night when I admitted that I loved him. He most probably hates me. It's all my fucking fault!" I thought, biting my lip to stop myself from making any noise.

I walked out of school, prepared to go home and sulk for the rest of the night. But I was stopped when Josh called my name, I wanted to run away, but I didn't. I allowed him to catch up to me, his breath coming out in pants. "What do you want?" I asked, making sure my voice didn't crack as I felt my eyes tear up slightly. "Umm...I was just wondering if we could talk in private..." I turned around, to see a slight blush on his face. I was confused as to what he was blushing about, I bit my lip for the second time today. I then went ahead and hesitantly replied "A-Alright..." I saw a smile cross his face. Oh how much I loved that smile. We went somewhere more secluded, I soon looked up to him "U-Umm...S-So what was it you wanted to say?" I stuttered, millions of thoughts running through my mind.

Was he going to beat me up?

Was he going to say that he told everyone about it?

I was mentally panicking, I had no idea what it was he wanted to talk to me about. Josh soon finally spoke up, bringing me out of my thoughts. "Well...I just wanted to say that...Uhh..." I was just to ask him what it was he wanted to say when I was cut off by his lips. I felt shock run through me. "H-He's kissing me! He's actually kissing me!" I mentally screamed. I began kissing back, feeling pure happiness replace the shock.

I felt his arms wrap around my waist, I hesitantly wrapped my arms around his neck, glad there wasn't much of height difference so I could keep my little secret hidden. I felt his lips pull away and I pouted almost immediately pouted. I crossed my arms, looking at him. He just let out a chuckle at my reaction which brought a smile to my face. "I love you Oli." I felt so much fucking joy when he said that. I was mentally jumping for joy. I replied eagerly "You should already know that I love you too!"

He gave me a quick peck on the lips before we both began walking home. To be honest, I've never felt this safe before, just being next to Josh made me feel protected and loved.

We soon reached his house, heading up to his room. We mindlessly talked about pretty much anything we could think off. By the end of it all we lay on his bed, me cuddled up into his chest, just about ready to sleep.

I soon felt him kiss my forehead just as I felt my eyes close and with that I fell asleep in his arms.
