Lost.

Chapter one

October 2, 2015

"Josh!" I call out his name as we make our way out of the cafeteria. He turns around, his gorgeous light brown eyes meeting mine.

"Hey!" He greets me with a warm smile that somewhat made my heart flutter. I am caught by surprise when he puts his arms around me - making my cheeks flush light red.

"Hello." I shyly greet him as I tuck a strand of my hair behind my ear, and push my glasses back into place awkwardly.

Everything was so bittersweet as these minutes passed by; however, they didn't last long. My heart raced throughout the whole time, hoping I wouldn't be the awkward person that I am and ruining anything. I was always that girl that is too shy to make new friends. That girl who doesn't talk in classes, unless one of her best friends is there. This time it was different. Almost.

"What's up?" You ask me with a small smile.

Stop smiling like that.

I shrug, "Oh nothing much really, I left my friend behind." I laugh and he joins me.

I could tell that laugh wasn't somewhat real... I look deeply into his eyes and they cry for help. I could see a broken boy in his eyes, with nobody to talk to. I can see.. Fear. Agony. Dullness. A horrible past behind those amazing light brown eyes.

As he was about to speak he got up cutoff by my best friend's voice calling me. "Daisy why did you leave me be-" She stops mid - sentence as she realizes who I'm talking to. Her face turns slightly confused but then lightens up with her beautiful smile, "I'll leave you two, to talk." She says as she gives me a hug then leaves.

After she leaves, there is an awkward tension between the two of us, and I wasn't sure if it was the good kind of awkward or bad? Maybe in between?

As we continue to walk to class, I push my glasses up once more and I hear him laugh lightly.

"What?" I feel my cheeks getting warmer now.

"You're so adorable, you're blushing!" He smiles then hugs me.

Okay? So many feelings came upon me - feelings that I haven't felt in a long time. It seems nice. Too nice. We continue to talk and walk through the crowded hallway that awkward tension slowly fading away.

"Well um, I have to go." I smile awkwardly, "Bye." As I'm about to turn around he grabs my wrists, "Oh no hug?" He pouts playfully.

I giggle, I was somewhat nervous and excited when those words slipped out of his lips. I blush a bit, then give him a hug. Just as I'm about to let go he tightens the hug, which made me lose my breath. I feel the fluttering feeling once - making me smile like an idiot.

When he finally let's go, I accidentally touch his bottom. What the hell?

"Oh my god, I am so sorry Josh I didn't mean to touch you there!" My cheeks start reddening, and I cover my face in humiliation. Why always me? Why now? I felt like banging my head against the brick wall I was standing next to!

He chuckled, "Hey, it's fine, don't worry about it." He smiles and blushes a little. "You owe me though." He winks at me. As of then, I felt my whole face burning like if I had just ran outside on a super hot day!

I pushed up my glasses again and smiled at him, "I guess so." Then I walk into my classroom smiling like an idiot. Why am I feeling this way about him? He's just a good friend of mine, right? Right. I knew this was going to take me - us somewhere later on, I just really hope it's somewhere good.

You're going to help him in so many ways. Love him and care for him; he will care for you about the same. It won't be easy.. But you'll get through it, trust me.
