I Knew I Loved You the Moment I Saw You

Chapter 10

Jen's POV

I push my head into Josh's chest. I don't even try to hide the tears. Josh doesn't ask any questions, he just holds me. I cry for about 10 minutes, and then I get angry. It isn't my dad's business what Josh and I do. And I'm engaged. I get so angry that i begin to shake. I step off Josh's lap and stomp up the stairs. and grab my phone off of the nightstand, and walk into the bathroom, locking the door behind me. I go to my contacts and find my mom's number. I text her.

Me: Do you know what dad said to me? Ugh. I don't know what to do right now."

Send.

That may have been a bad idea, but for some reason I think my mom will be able to help.

I sit in the bathroom and wait for her response. I ignore Josh's knocks on the bathroom door, because I really just want to be alone. When I'm angry, I get angry at everyone and there is no need to hurt Josh, because my dad is being an asshole. Finally my phone buzzes.

Mom: Hey, Jenny. I do know what your dad said, and while I agree with him, I think he handled it the wrong way. I talked to him about it, but he's pretty upset.."

Are. You. Kidding. Me. I sigh and begin to reply

Me: "He's upset?! Is he even allowed to be upset that I was in my fiance's condo, minding my own business. I'm a grown ass woman that can make my own damn desicions. Now, as much as appreciate both of your imput on MY life, I really wish y'all would just BUTT OUT. Thanks. :)

I unlock the bathroom door and step out. I look down and see Josh sitting against the wall beside the door.

"Is everything alright?" He stands up.

"Yep everything's just fine." I walk out into the hallway and down the stairs and plop down on the couch. I turn on the tv, and to be honest, I don't even pay attention the show. I get too caught up in my thoughts. Josh plopping on the couch beside me brings me back to reality. I lay my head in his lap and throw my feet up on the couch. He strokes my hair and runs his finger tips up and down my back. I look up into his hazel eyes.

"Thank you." I say and turn back around.

"For what?"

"For loving me, even when I'm pissed off and being really shitty. For being there even when I lock myself in the bathroom, and for just being you."

I don't give him time to object, I just turn towards the tv and continue watching whatever is on.
