I guide Josh to the couch and he sits. I stand there awkwardly until I speak up, "Would you like anything to eat? Drink?" My voice cracks slightly with every word that slips in between my lips. "No no, I'm fine." I nod and fold my hands together, rocking onto my toes and heel, back and forth. "You know, you can sit down as well. This is your house." Josh says after a brief moment of silence. I mentally smack myself for standing, looking like a fool, and take a sit beside him. "So, why uhm.. Why did you want to meet me?" I question him, staring blankly at the white wall in front of me, crossing my legs and folding my hands so they rest on top of my knee. "I.. Have no clue." His words spilled out. I look over at him and cock an eyebrow. "You haven't a clue?" Well that's not the slightest bit confusing.
"Honestly, yeah. I just-I heard what happened with Zack and all. I just, got curious. As to uh, who you were. I guess." I nod, still confused. You hear what happened, so you decide to meet me? What the hell.. "Oh. Uh, well. Hi. I guess." He stares at me for a moment, looking deep in thought. I shift uncomfortably under his sight. "Why do you put up with him?" He asks, scratching his head. "I have no choice. It's not like I can leave, really. I have no money for uh, for my own place. I don't have any friends so I can't stay with anyone. I'm stuck here." I look down at my hands, speaking sadly. "What if.. What if I told you, you could stay with me for a while?" My head shoots up and my eyes widen. "No no, that's too much to ask. Plus you barely even know me. I'd be a bother and-" He cuts me off, "No. I'm not letting you stay here. Listen, I want you to pack a bag of everything you would need. Tonight, you need to get out of the house somehow. I'll be outside okay? I'll be waiting for you there. Okay?"
I continue to shake my head, "But this all really-I can deal with being here. I don't want-I'd be a bother." I keep trying to convince him. "I am not taking no for an answer. Be ready around midnight. I'll be outside." He then gets up, and walks out the door, leaving me speechless.
This chapter was short I'm sorry. It's like 1 am where I am, almost two am and I've been sleeping all day so I'm a bit tired. Yeah I'm sorry. This was sucky too. Idk. And also I'm working on my Frerard fanfictions and this all is a big mess and I know at least some of you really like this story, considering you've told me to continue. Yeah I'm rambling I should stop okay yeah. Xx
