Mully's POV:
Josh. He's handsome yet cute. Caring and funny. Loving and understanding. But there's a problem. We're not together. I'm dating Narrator. It's nice and all, but it wouldn't be the same if Josh and I were a couple. Narrator has his perks and all, like he's a nice guy. Decent looks. Josh, though. No one can compare to him. He's perfect for me. I don't know how I'll break the news to Narrator. He loves me. I don't. Ever since we got together, he said how much he adores me and wants to stay with me forever. I don't want forever. Well, not with him. It should be me and Josh forever. I feel bad about all this. It's just the wrong person, right time kind of thing. I'm sure he'll understand. Right? "Hey Narrator, can we talk?" I ask seriously before sitting on the couch waiting for Narrator to do the same. "Of course, Mully, what's up?" He asked sincerely, resting his hand on my knee. I pull his hand away, knowing that this conversation will really upset him. "Uhm. I really don't know how to say this, but.. what we have currently.. isn't going anywhere for me.." I stretch the sentence out, making it more awkward than it needs to be. Narrator looks at me with a hurt expression and tears starting to form in his eyes. I knew this was going to happen. "What?.." He manages to say before breaking down in front of me. "I- I like someone else.. I'm sorry." I reply, placing my hand on his shoulder as he aggressively pulls away from me. "Narrator -" I start to say. "Don't you dare say another word! I tried to be an amazing boyfriend to you, and what do I get back!? You saying you like someone else! Who is this lucky person!? Because I thought I was the one for you but apparently not! I can't believe you, Mully! This relationship meant everything to me! But I guess it doesn't anymore. Have fun without me." He says before leaving the house abruptly and slamming the door shut behind him. I can't believe I did that. But I had no choice. I don't love him. I love Josh. So much. My actions cause me to tear up and let it all out. I need Josh here. So I grab my phone and text Josh to come to mine quickly. Like I said so, he gets here in less than five minutes and doesn't bother knocking. "Mully!?" I hear him call out from the front door and his heavy footsteps approaching me. He suddenly sees me and stops dead in his tracks. His face softens and saddens at the same time before walking towards me again and sitting down next to me. "Oh, Mull. Tell me what happened." He asks, opening his arms for me to collapse into his chest. I don't say anything as I sob uncontrollably, soaking both mine and Josh's shirt. "Was it Narrator?" He guesses while stroking my hair and giving me a kiss on the forehead. All I can do is nod my head in response as he sighs sadly and pulls me upwards, so he's sitting up against the couch, and I'm leaning sideways against his body with my head still in his chest. "Please tell me what happened." He tells me as he grabs my cheeks and makes me look at his eyes, wiping my tears away with his sleeves. I take a deep breath and start to speak. "I told Narrator I liked someone else and didn't want to be with him anymore, and that's when he got angry and left. I feel so bad, Josh." I say to him, watching his face the entire time. "Hey, sometimes things like that can happen. You just have to accept it, and Narrator clearly didn't, but hey, at least you told him and didn't cheat on him or something bad like that." He explains calmly, reassuring me that everything will be okay. "Can I tell you something?" I ask him. "Yeah, sure." He says. "The reason why I told Narrator that we can't be together anymore is because I wanna be with you. You're the person I love, Josh. You're funny, kind, loving, caring, understanding, and cute yet handsome. I love everything about you. That's why I told him I wanted to break up. I want to be with the person I truly love with all my heart. Not the opposite. I feel bad, but I need the right person. And that's you." I confessed, making direct eye contact the whole time. "Mull? Do you really feel that way about me?" He gasps, his eyes widening in shock. "Yes, I do, Josh. I don't love anyone else but you." I tell him, seeing his eyes melt to mine. "You know, I was secretly developing a crush on you for some time now and didn't have the guts to tell you until now." He laughs. "I never knew that. And I'm glad I know now." I say before slightly leaning closer to his face. "Can I kiss you?" I whisper, feeling his hot breath against my skin that was kind of turning me on a little. "That isn't even a question." He whispers back, closing in the gap between us. Our lips felt like jigsaw pieces. Like they were meant be. My hand cups his cheek when his was resting on top of my shoulder. When me and Narrator would kiss, it would feel uncomfortable. But when I'm kissing Josh, it doesn't feel that way at all. This feels like it was supposed to happen. Not me and Narrator. But I could tell how hurt Josh was. I could see it in his eyes. His world shattered in front of him when Narrator said those exact words. "Will you be mine, Mully?" Of course, I had to say yes to screw it up. I wanted to get rid of my crush for Josh and move on. Clearly, that didn't work. Why didn't I go with my gut? I didn't think Josh was going to like me back. That's why I didn't go for it. But it doesn't matter now. I'm finally kissing Josh. The person I truly love and care for. Now I can finally be happy. Me and Josh are official.
