chapter twenty seven

I really wonder what he means by a normal date. A normal date can mean a lot of things. It could be at a restaurant or cuddling and watching movies.

Josh always has surprises up his hand and I don't know whether or not that I should be scared or excited.

I like to call Josh the "man of surprises" since he always pulls some kind of absurd moment out of thin air.

My mind kept racing with thoughts on what he's actually going to do.

As soon as school ended, I rushed home to finish my homework. It was complicated but I managed to do it in less than 2 hours.

I threw on the nearest hoodie and walked down to his house. Naturally it was raining out, it's hard to get a sunny day in this part of my neighborhood.

I was outside of his house 10 minutes later. I sat up against the wall on his porch waiting for him to come outside.

I texted him and he was out here immediately "Are you ready, Tyler?"

"I'm 100% positive that I am" I joked.

He brought out a bag and put it in his trunk. I hopped in the front seat and we drove off.

It was less than a 15 minute drive and Josh brought us to plain grass area.

"What are we going to do here?"

"Well since you probably dislike surprises, I thou-"

I cut him off mid sentence "No no. I love surprises, don't tell me."

He held his hand out and I put mine in his palm as he gripped it slowly. I followed him up top on a hill.

The grass was soaking wet but luckily he brought some kind of blanket-y cloth object to put down.

"Starting over seems pretty odd. I miss our crazy adventures an-"

"Just wait and see, we're going to use this picnic as time to repair our friendship, then we can continue our wild adventures." He smiled back at me.

The rain stopped probably 5 minutes ago because I have not felt a single drop ever since we got here.

He unwrapped the basket and started setting out the food. I sat down on the edge of the blanket.

"I really apologize for a few nights ago."

"It's fine, I just didn't want you to leave just like everyone else did."

Josh handed me over a freshly made sandwich and smiled. I felt my heart flutter a tiny bit since he was staring directly in my eyes.

We ate in silence while staring back at each other. This was slightly awkward and I don't know why.

We went from making out at his one day job to sitting awkwardly at a picnic.

We've been through so much together and I just hurts me that this isn't the same anymore. Maybe we should just call the quits and have a normal friendship, no more relationship.

As I was staring off in the distance, thinking to myself, I never realized that Josh was packing up to leave.

The sun was setting and I felt tears in my eyes. I stood up and I was swooped from behind.

I turned around to see Josh grabbing me from behind and pulling me into a hug. I need to fix this relationship and I need to do it now.

I pushed Josh against the tree as I attached my lips onto his. For once, I was being the dominant one in a relationship.

Josh didn't seem to declined as he started kissing me back. I whispered into his ear "You know I missed this."

"I missed you too."

I was being honest that I missed this. I miss the way he made me smile, the way he just existed. One day is too much away from him.

I'm emotionally attached to Josh Dun and I'm proud of it.
