10. Tulips & Ferns

Link
    I felt a soft breathing on the top of my head as I began to slowly open my eyes. The more I awakened, the more I felt. I began to feel arms around me, then someone infront of me. Josh. I remember it. He came over and I started crying then he comforted me. I smiled lightly to myself then looked over his torso. The hotel room had an arrangement of tulips and ferns on the table next to the sliding door for the balcony. I focused closer on it and Elton appeared standing next to them. I exhaled once to only notice time was frozen. I sat up and looked at Elton. He began to smile."you were right" I spoke looking at him."I'm god, I always know" he said stepping a little closer."let him know" he said, fading away as I laid back in Josh's arms and time unfroze. A few minutes later, Josh began to wake up."link?" He asked softly."Josh?" I asked in reply. He planted a kiss on the top of my head and pulled me a little closer."are you okay?" He asked placing one hand on my head and the other on my back."thank you for everything" I told him digging my head into his chest."anytime, blue" he said."blue?" I questioned."yeah, your eyes are blue" he stated."I guess you're right" I giggled." Hey there's a little coffee shop next door want to go?" He asked looking at me."sure" I replied. We both got out of the bed and I slipped my shoes on, same as Josh."ready?" He asked heading to the door."yeah" I replied walking up to him. He went to go turn the doorknob then turned and looked at me. We just stared at each other until I spoke."so are you gonna kiss me or am I gonna kiss you?" I asked raising an eyebrow."I think this will answer" he said putting his hand behind my head and the other on my back and pulling his lips to mine. We stayed that way for about 3 minutes until he pulled away, smiling. I smiled back and spoke,"we should go"."yeah" he agreed and pulled the door open. We headed down the hall and down the stairs to the lobby. As we passed through the lobby, I saw Patrick walking towards a staircase crying. I ignored it and we walked to the coffee shop next door. Josh and I entered the small shop labeled Dawson Java Hut. We walked in and began browsing the menu. We placed our orders in and received our coffee and sat at table for two. I took a sip of coffee and noted that the Arctic Monkeys's Do I wanna know? Was playing in the back ground. Josh and I had some small talk then headed back to the hotel. We stopped at my door."see you Jishwa"."see ya Linkin Log" he smirked. I rolled my eyes and pushed the key into the door. When I got in, I found a note on my bed. I walked over and read it.
   "We're going to meet Elton in 5 -B!"
  Brendon. Jax must've let him in. Either way I grabbed my phone and headed over to Jax's room. I slowly knocked and she opened the door slowly so it only revealed her." I thought we were going to Eltons?" I asked."yeah.. That's a set up" she said. As she finished I could here someone crying in the background."is everything okay?" I asked her, suddenly concerned."you better come in" she said softly while opening the door fully.  I stepped in and looked at the spare bed in her room. Patrick was sitting on the bed crying while Brendon stood next to him trying to calm him. Brendon noticed me and jogged over."hey link.. I think he needs you right now" he started," I mean besides Pete you're the only one who knows him that well" he finished."o-okay" my voice trailed."Petes already tried" Jax added."so, you think I can help him?" I sassed back."we hope" Brendon stated."fine" I replied and walked over to Patrick and sat on the edge of the bed."hey pattycakes.." I said softly." He looked up at me through his glasses. I noticed his blue eyes outlines by the redness of his eye and the puffiness on his skin."L-link?" He asked trying to calm himself down."yeah.. It's me" I said cracking a small smile. He pulled me into a hug and began to slightly cry. I rubbed his back and said the generic calming things like shh or it's okay. A few minutes passed and I spoke,"what's wrong?"."elisa.. She found someone new because i told her I was in love with someone else" he let out through soft cries."who?" I asked. He pulled me into his hug tighter and cried a little bit. It turns out, the rest of panic!, fob, and Tøp had showed up while this was going on. Patrick pulled back and held my shoulders and looked into my eyes, "Genevieve, I'm in love you" he said staring into my eyes. I sat there frozen, I heard Josh say something to Brendon and then he left slamming the door.

  Was Elton really right?
