Wake Me Up

Chapter 6

Monica's POV : I felt bad for lying to Andy. But how was I supposed to tell him that my in my nightmare he was the one who was trying to rape me. It would hurt him. I really was grateful for him and his band for saving me, but I hope he didn't think that just because he saved me that I would automatically forgive him. I just couldn't, not yet at least. I probably wouldn't be rude to him but still had my guard up.

There was a knock at the door, I opened it and my heart leaped with joy. Josh. My best friend. My other half. My partner in crime. My everything. My person. My savior. The person who saved my life from going downhill. I've missed him so much. "JOSH !!!" I said as I gave him a huge hug, and he picked me up while spinning me around.

"I've missed you so much !" he whispered yelled into my ear. I had the biggest smile on my face, just when I saw who was behind us. Andy. Good job, Monica. "Josh put me down," i said with a whisper barely inaudible. He did as told. I coughed, "Hey Andy-y, what are you doing here ?" but Andy completely ignored my question and asked "what is he doing here ?" with an angered tone. I couldn't tell him why he was here, I just couldn't. "Andy he's my best friend, he's here to see me." Please forgive me for lying Jesus.

"Oh so this is Josh, your fiance" he said giving Josh an ugly look. Andy was being so rude, I guess I could understand why but still he was being disrespectful to someone who meant a lot to me. "What do you mean 'fiance' ?" I asked curiously. "YOU BOTH HAVE RINGS ON YOUR RING FINGER IM NOT STUPID !!!" he was shouting now. "Josh isn't my fiance. Now let me explain MY ring," I said walking towards Andy but he just walked off saying "You don't need to lie." with tears streaming down his face. Before I could go after him, Josh grabbed my hand, "he's not worth it, you need to let go." I just shrugged. Josh knew everything about me including what happened between Andy and I, and I knew everything that happened between Halsey and him. He EVEN knew Andy but Andy just didn't remember him because Josh has changed a lot the past year.

Andy's POV : MAYBE when she said she'd never stop meant she NEVER would. This was hope for me. I drove to her house and was going to ask her if what she said was true. I walked up to her front door and immediately regretted it. Any hope I had was now drained. Someone who I assumed was Josh was hugging and spinning Monica around.

Josh immediately put her down. "Hey Andy-y, what are you doing here ?" she asked nervously. I ignored her question and asked
"what is he doing here ?!" with an angered tone. "Andy he's my best friend, he's here to see me." LIES. "Oh so this is Josh, your fiance" I said giving Josh an ugly look. Honestly at this point I didn't care that I was being rude.

"What do you mean 'fiance' ?" she asked curiously. "YOU BOTH HAVE RINGS ON YOUR RING FINGER IM NOT STUPID !!!" I was shouting now. "Josh isn't my fiance. Now let me explain MY ring," she said walking towards me but I just walked off saying "You don't need to lie." with tears streaming down my face.

I got my old phone out of my pocket and threw it to the ground. I stomped on it, picking it up again, and throwing it to the ground repeatedly. The phone was obviously smashed now. I got in my car and stopped by a local liquor store. I sped home and locked myself in my room, like my high school self would've done a year ago. I put the bottle on my nightstand, took out my ziploc bag with cocaine, blunts already made, and my hookah pen. This will ease the pain.

MORNING

I woke up with the worst headache on earth, I felt like I had gotten a cramp in my head. I screamed in pain and punched my wall, still angry at what happened yesterday. I had dark circles under my eyes and they were more than obvious. I put my sunglasses on. Sound familiar ?

I spent the day at my favorite spot in Dallas. It was hill that overlooked the city life. There were all kinds of plants up there. Staying here, made me relaxed and calm. I loved it. I spent all my time writing lyrics and spilling my emotions on paper.

But she doesn't even know I exist.

Memories of a Broken Heart, Now Im alone in the dark.

I had written way more but I just wanted to go home and eat now. I'd probably get wasted again. Another day wasted to get wasted once again.

Monica's POV : I can't believe I had forgotten to take off my ring. "Josh I'm so stupid. I don't know why I didn't take it off," "Don't beat yourself up for it, he didn't want to hear your explanation." he said squeezing my shoulders while he continued "plus don't you think it would've hurt him anyways ?" Josh was right it would hurt Andy.

"It's-...was your purity ring. He's the reason why it 'was' your purity ring. He just doesn't know..." Josh said. AN/// STILL NOT TELLING YOU WHAT HAPPENED IT'LL MOST LIKELY BE IN CHAPTER 1O "Now he thinks we're fiances" i said with a small chuckle. "Yea, even though we both know that'll never happen." "Josh, thank you so much for being my best friend. You're a brother to me and i love you so much for that. I think it really shows since SO many people think we're together," i said hugging him. I loved Josh, but we just weren't each others soulmates and we knew that. Although I wish it would've been him who I had fallen for sometimes.

"Should I call him or talk to him ?" "Yes of course, maybe it'd be better if you went to go see him. I'll come with you and wait outside," he suggested. "Alright, let's go." Although I wasn't prepared for what I would see next.
