Embers P.O.V
I smell something, something really good. Like pancakes.. And maple syrup. My favorite.
I pulled the covers off of me and woke up to see that its daylight outside and 8:37 in the AM. I look down and there is no sight of Josh. Where is he? All of his blankets were folded up and on the chair in his room.
(BANG)
I heard a pan fall to the ground. Is he in the kitchen? I quickly shuffle out of the bed and run out of the room to the kitchen to see Josh a mess and flour was all in his hair. But he did look pretty cute. He must have heard me because he turn his favce towards me and grinned from ear to ear.
"Top of the mornin ayy?" Do Canadians really say that? I stared at him for a while or so not knowing how to reply to that.
"You okay Ember?" He waved his hands in front of me curiously and snapped his fingers together.
"What?" I was taken aback by this and almost fell on my butt.
"Sorry bout that. Just wanted to make sure you were okay. How did you sleep last night?" Josh politely asked while gesturing me to his kitchen table with pancakes on a plate for me. Did he really make this? Especially for me? Awe.
"Well only getting about 2 hours of sleep waking up constantly it was pretty okay. Thanks for letting me stay over though." I smiled politely back at him while he poured maple syrup on my pancakes. Suddenly he started smiling when he heard my stomach gurrgle. Crap.. Was I really that hungry? I hope he didn't hear me puke out the food I had eaten that night when he was asleep.
"You hungry?" He let out a laugh and handed me a fork. I smiled and nodded my head a bit.
"Sorta" I lied. I'm going to puke this out later when I get back home. I've gained 4lbs. I know I only way 107lbs, but I nedd to get back to 90. I've gotten so fat and let myself go.
"Eat up!" Josh started stuffing his face, intently I watched up eating slowly. He looked like a baby chipmunk that hasn't eatin in days. I let out a giggle and looked down the whole time trying to eat. I noticed K was still wearing his clothes. They were so big on me but comfortable. They smelled like home and felt like home too. I don't know what it was about this boy but he made me feel like I was home. And when I sing with him, I feel like myself. Like nothing can hurt me, I feel like a stronger person with him.
(Knocm, Knock, Knock)
"Josh, open up!" There was a girl at his door.
(Knock, Knock)
"Joshie poo!!" Joshie poo.. Joshie poo? Is that his girlfriend.
Josh got up from the table and grunted walking to open the door.
I walked sort of behind him when a blonde girl popped up jumping up and down. She was wearing this pink gemmed short dress. She was also very tan and tall. Out of nowhere she grabbed Josh's shirt and kissed him when she saw me. Did she think me and him were dating? I hope not, I don't want to start any trouble. And Josh's would never date me anyway. I looked at her and looked back at me. I'm probably not his type like she was. But for a second there I thought he did with the whole dinner thing, letting me sleep in his clothes and on his bed. Especially since he made me pancakes today. Well, they're still making out. She pushed him to the wall still kissing him and he didn't do anything, so they probably are dating.
I walked back to his room and changed into my clothes from yesterday and snuck out of his window. It wasn't that high up, there were stairs so I coould get down from. I got into my car and drove off to my apartment with the radio on.
"Here is Say Anything by Marianas Trench!" I heard the radio guy say before he turned the song on.
Say Anything started playing, and I had to admit that they were pretty good. What band did Josh say he was in again...
"Wait... Marianas Trench!" I shut the radio of and plugged in my phone into the stereo and played Perfect by Hedley. Hedley has been my favorite band for about 5 years now. I know they're from here but they haven't had any shows yet while I've been here. I desperately want to see them.
I pulled into my drive way and went into my apartment. I was headed towards the bathroom and I liked myself in the hallway mirror. I was crying? Why was I crying? Josh.
All of those pancakes and that orange juice was out of my stomach in a few short minutes. So glad Melanie wasn't here to hear it.
Why did I start having feeling for Josh anyways. He's pretty famous fr what I heard all over town. Why would a famous person even like me anyways? That'd be too much to ask.
I slapped myself. "Owww!" I need to cut it out. I just need to finish this duet with him, get the money to pay for my rent and University fees and so on and just completely forget we ever met. I need to get out as soon as possible so I don't develop any more feelings for him. I don't ever plan on seeing him ever again after this.
(buzzzz)
I took my phone out of my pocket, it was a text from Josh.
Josh: Hey, sorry about Amanda interrupting our breakfast. Wanna go see a movie tonight?
What? Seriously, he has a girlfriend. Why is he talking to me, right I'm still doing the duet with him. I hope he doesn't think that we're friends all of a sudden. I'd hate to break the news to him. I took my time to reply to him
-10 MINUTES LATER-
I send him a text message.
Me: Ok.
Doesn't sound too eager, and if I say no he'd probably ask why or something and I just want to get out of his way as soon as possible. I don't want him getting the wrong idea that we're friends or something. I'm just trying to be nice, right? Yea.

Josh's P.O.V
Amanda doesn't get the hint that I just want to be friends with her, after she cheated on me I couldn't trust her anymore and I don't want to be with her like that anymore. I just want to be friends. Sure she could come over once in a while but I don't want her kissing me. What really pissed me off was that she scared off Ember. And what was weird was that I didn't hear her leave. I pulled out my phone not knowing what I was doing. I scrolled through my messages and found the texts I sent to Ember yesterday. I texted her again.
Me: Hey, sorry about Amanda interrupting our breakfast. Wanna go see a movie tonight?
Once I texted her, I felt like crap, what if she doesn't text me back because of earlier. I headed to my room to change because even if she didn't reply or didn't want to come I still wanted to see a movie even if it meant going alone.
"Dang it's cold in here!" I felt a huge breeze come through my window. I don't remember opening it. That's probably how Ember got out without me knowing.
"Smart girl."
I put on the usual, black t-shirt, regular blue skinny jeans, converse and a black hoodie. Once I got done changing I heard my phone vibrate.
Ember: Ok.
Wait what? Okay about Amanda or about the movies? She's so confusing sometimes. I just wish I could understand what she says and be able to know what she's feeling.
Dangit. I have feelings for her. I didn't think Iever would, matter of fact, I didn't think I'd ever have feelings for anyone else ever again after Amanda cheatedon me. I don't think anyone could ever love me.
I texted Ember back.
Me: Okay, see ya there!
I don't care if she didn't mean ok about the movies. Saying see ya there means she's obligated to go now. I left my apartment and started heading for the movies.
