Love Is More Than Just A Number//Josh Dun

Eleven

Mary-Ann stepped out of the hospital. She was told by the nurse that it was a boy. She had a huge wide smile on her face. She was so excited. She decided to text Tyler. Mary-Ann didn't know how Tyler would feel about this. She felt so sad that she was fourteen, and she had a human being growing inside of her.

Mary-Ann: Guess what? IT'S A BOY!!"

Tyler: YES!! I KNEW IT!!

Mary-Ann waited at the bus stop. Mary-Ann wanted to cry. She wanted her friend, Natalie to be there for her as well. Mary-Ann had to deal with all of Natalie's bullshit, why wouldn't Natalie be there for her? She dialed Natalie's phone number on the dial pad, and she called her once called best friend. The phone rang three times before it was picked up.

"Hello?" It was Nicole. Natalie's twin sister. Nicole was another one of Mary-Ann's friends. They usually don't talk that much together as Natalie, but they were still best of friends as well.

"Hey, it's Mary-Ann. Is Natalie there?" Mary-Ann said with a nervous voice. She didn't want to sound desperate, even though she was. She was desperate for a friend right now. Mary-Ann's hands felt weak at every breath she took.

"She just left the house, and she didn't take her phone. But I can leave a message if you want?" Nicole said in the most sweetest voice ever. Nicole was always a nice person. She always cared about everyone else. She was one with the help of the others.

"Can I come over? I actually just need to talk to someone about everything that is happening..." Mary-Ann said in almost as a whisper through one of the phone lines.

"Umm sure, You can come."

"Cool. I'll be there in just twenty minutes. Bye" Mary-Ann hung up and the bus came right after. The bus let out a cool wind that blew her hair in all directions. She got into the Bus, and sat down. Then, Mary-Ann felt the kick of the baby again. She let out a laugh in which everyone looked at her in disgust. She didn't care, she only cared about her baby. Mary-Ann loved the feeling of the kicks because she never knew when they were gonna come, or where.

They were unexpected.

..........

Josh blasted his music on his Beats Pill. He had gotten as a three month anniversary gift from Debby. Josh got Debby a nice little Diamond Necklace. She gasped in awe when she first saw it. Debby wanted Josh only for his money. She never really loved him at all. Debby was a gold digger who used him. Josh didn't know this. Josh thought that Debby actually did love him for being himself. The truth was that Debby was disgusted by him. But the only way that she was gonna get all of his finances was by getting herself pregnant. Josh didn't want to have sex with Debby. He never wanted to put himself through it. Josh was a virgin, and he wanted to keep it that way. Until he met, "The One". He didn't know who it was, but he was destined to find her. Sometimes "The One" is closer than you think.

Josh looked at all of his messages. All pertaining to one person. Mary-Ann. Something inside of josh wanted to be close to Mary-Ann. Even when he was with Debby, he still felt as if it wasn't Debby he wanted to be with. But with Mary-Ann. That first date they had was awkward, but Josh always looked at himself as super awkward. It wasn't going to perfect he knew that. But he also knew that the kiss at the end was just the icing on the cake. It was perfect. That kiss was meant to be between them together. Now Mary-Ann doesn't even want to know about him anymore. He doesn't know why, but he thinks it's cruel of her to go out with him, and then never talk again. Josh felt a sudden guilt go through his body. He came to the realization that maybe the reason why she doesn't want to talk to him was because of Debby. The night of their date he posted that they were both together. Maybe that was the reason why she wanted nothing with him. He decided to call Debby over.

Thirty minutes later, Debby was knocking on the door of Josh's house. Debby was wearing a huge smile on her face. She had plans of today being the day. The day she will have sex with Josh. Debby knew that Josh was a virgin. She was waiting for so long, but she said to herself that no longer. She was wearing a long jacket that covered her body up to her knees. Underneath she had nothing on. She was plain naked. She was going to have her way with Josh whether he wanted or not. Josh opened the door and let her in. Debby placed her purse on the couch with herself as well.

"We need to talk about us' Josh said as he sat on the couch next to Debby.

"OK. What is it?"

"I...wanna...break up.." Josh said in a whimper.

Debby enraged at the thought of someone else with Josh. She wanted him for herself. Even though she didn't love him, She wanted his money. She didn't want to go back to her life in Disney Channel. She just didn't want to.

"Is it because Mary-Ann is pregnant?!" Debby caught herself as she almost fainted on the floor. Josh gasped when he heard the words that came out of Debby's mouth. Mary-Ann, Pregnant? that couldn't be! Who was the father of the baby?! All of the questions surfacing in Josh's head made his head ponder at the future. What will happen now? He got to his senses, and told Debby to leave. She wasn't welcome anymore to his house, and that their relationship was over. He closed the door, and he quickly searched for his phone. He remembered he left it next to the pill, and he ran to it. He quickly messaged May-Ann. Hoping that she would see the message.

Josh: I know you're pregnant Mary-Ann....... why didn't you tell me?!

Josh then decided to also text Tyler about it. Maybe he knew something about it.

Josh: Hey did u know that Mary-Ann was pregnant??

Tyler: yeah...I'm the father...

Josh's phone fell to the floor at the sight of the text message how could he? he thought about this all to himself. He rocked back and forth at the thought of Tyler and Mary-Ann being together as a family.

His best friend Just took his dream girl.
