THE JOURNEY OF US

Chapter 17

Julia and I just reached school. We were just entering the hall when everyone was staring at me. No one has ever tried to kill someone in school with a jealousy. 

  We were walking by and stopped for a moment. I saw Josh looking at me. Julia grabbed my hand and took me to class. Josh looked like he was sad. 

  I didn't know who I should believe. Julia and Chris are my best friends. As for Josh, I don't remember him much. I have been told that he posted an edit of me which I didn't like. Not only I was fired from my job but also I had a panic attack because of him.

   I couldn't believe her unless she told me that he is a Playboy who breaks hearts and I was saving the girls from him. She showed me my book where I wrote the names of girls.

  I was very shocked. She told me that Max tried to kill me because she thought Josh was dating me. I had a possibility that what if I found something bad about Josh and he tried to kill me. I mean no one was there when I was dying except Josh. 

    Except Max. But we just found out that she has some problems and she goes to a psychiatrist. After Josh tried to put Max in the prison for minors. 

  I was trying really hard to avoid Josh. It was a free period. Everyone went outside. It was me alone in the class listening to music. Josh entered the class. 

  He said, “I know you can't remember me. But I want to say that I still love you. I know that one part of you also loves me. I know you can't remember what fun we had together.” 

  I said, Stop it. Don't you lie to me. I don't like you. And what fun? I heard that I was fired from my job because of you. I had a panic attack because of you.” 

  Josh said, “But we also had fun with each other. We went to a restaurant and watched movies. We worked together on a presentation.” I said, “I don't remember it.” He said, “You just have to remember it. I know you love me.” 

  I said, “I don't like you. Please stay away from me.” He wasn't moving. Julia saw Josh with me and I was trying to make Josh go away. She came inside and grabbed his hand and pushed him away from me. “Didn't you hear that she doesn't want to talk to you.” Julia exclaimed. “Go away and don't come near us.” 

  I know that Josh will not stop it. He will try to come near me and he will make a plan for it. I don't know whether Josh was telling the truth about me that I was happy with him or I liked him. I was confused.
