falling asleep on a stranger (josh dun)

I Promise

(Your P.O.V)

I was excited to meet Jenna, but terrified at the same time. I was never really a people person, Rob really influenced that.. I was bouncing my leg while we were sitting in the car, fiddling with my fingers. Josh must have noticed and took one of my hands and gave it a reassuring squeeze. At a red light he looked over at me. I pretended not to notice his stare, he'd think I was dumb for being nervous.
He squeezed my hand again and I looked at him.
"What's wrong darling?" He asked, his voice was so innocent and sweet.
"Nothing." I lied.
He knew I was lying, and the light turned green. He looked at the road, but didn't let go of my hand.
"Y/N, Please. You know you can talk to me about anything right?"
I sighed
"No matter what. I can try and help you, no matter what the problem is, it won't change how I see you, you will always be perfect in my eyes." He added.
There was a long pause
"I'm nervous about meeting Jenna, I know it sounds dumb but-" I stopped myself at how pathetic I sounded, I pressed my lips.
"Hey, no I get it. It doesn't sound dumb at all, considering the life you had before this is reasonable.
Only Tyler knows about this, but-" he paused. "I sometimes have anxiety attacks while we're on tour. He makes everything look so easy, and all those people watching me, I feel my heart speed up and it feels like it's choking me. Tyler can tell pretty easily by now and he tries to calm me down, without causing a scene. Sometimes he cuts the shows short, because he sees I can't do it." He confessed
I was staring at him, my mouth open "Josh I had no idea, You're definitely good at hiding it. I wish I could help you, it's good that you have someone like Tyler with you." I said sadly
"It doesn't happen all the time, and the doctor gave me medication, but it doesn't calm me down. Just kinda makes me tired. I don't know what I'd do without Tyler." He smiled at his last sentence. "Jenna is one of the nicest people ever, You'll have an amazing time." He told me.
"Thankyou Josh, please if you ever need to talk to me about anything, I'm here, I always will be." We parked and he turned and kissed me. Then quickly got out and opened my door for me. "Oh jeez thankyou Joshua."
"Of course." He held my hand and we walked into the mall.

I told her something that only Tyler knows about. We both have anxiety, we have more in common than I thought. And now she was meeting my best friends girlfriend.

We walked through the mall and saw a diner with Jenna and Tyler sitting across from each other. Ty waved us down.
I sat with Tyler and Y/N sat with Jenna.
"Suh my dudes." Tyler greeted us.
"Hey Y/N I'm Jenna, it's great to finally meet you, I've heard a lot about you." Jenna greeted her while giving me a high five. We all chatted and Y/N and Jenna were hitting it off, making jokes and laughing. Our waitress came around and smiled, she was a sweet old lady "Hiya kids, my name is Rosemary and I'll be your server this morning, are you ready to order?"
Tyler spoke up.
"Uhmm yes please.
Can I have the eggs benedict? And my girlfriend here will have the...." Tyler waited for Jenna to answer " The eggs and bacon please?" She asked
The waitress nodded and looked at Y/N and I.
"Mmm can I have the pancakes and bacon please?" I asked.
She wrote down my order and looked at Y/N "how about you honey, what can I getcha?" The waitress asked her.
"Can I just have a water?" She asked quietly "Is that all darlin?" The waiter questioned. Y/N began to nod but I spoke up "Can she have the blueberry pancakes?" The waitress smiled and walked off.
"Josh I can't eat all that!" She whisper-yelled. "Please, you need to eat. You're scaring us." I replied.
She was quiet. Jenna and Tyler nodded.

I made her eat all her pancakes. I know how sick she was feeling, but it had to be done, I took her to the family washroom and she washed her sticky hands. She turned around and didn't look at me, the floor was more interesting.
I grabbed her hands. "Y/N baby, I know you don't feel good, but it will get better, I promise. If you won't do it for yourself, do it for me, Jenna is gonna be watching you. Please if you need anything talk to her, or come find me or Tyler. Okay?" I hugged her to me and felt her nod. "You're gonna have a great time today." I told her, as we walked back towards Jenna and Tyler.

Jenna and Y/N were off and Ty and I went in the opposite direction. I was panicking and Tyler could tell, he sat us down on some chairs that looked over the first floor balcony. "Dude, You're gonna be fine, Jenna said she'd text me in an hour to update on if Y/N says anything. You have nothing to worry about." He said, then some fans came around the corner.

I got to know Jenna pretty well, she was amazing, I could see us becoming good friends. Tyler definitely had himself a keeper. We shopped for a bit, shared stories and we definitely had the same humour. She just helped me quit my job, Meghan was heartbroken, but she understood. Now we were sitting for lunch. And Jenna made me eat a salad. She was asking me about Josh.
"So do you like him?"
"I mean yeah. He's perfect." I said.
"Come on, spill it, how do you feel?"
"Honestly... I... Think I love him. Like I'm in love with him. He's done so much for me and I don't know how I could ever repay him." I said truthfully.
"I can think of a few ways." Jenna sent a playful wink and we both erupted in laughter.
"I was nervous to come meet you, I don't compare to you and Tyler. And I'm afraid Josh will see that too. Then he'll leave me." I said quietly.
"No dude, he loves you more than you can imagine, you might not see it, but it's really obvious." She told me. She smiled and held my hand, while looking at her phone.
"Who ya textin?" I asked being nosey.
"Tyler, he wants to know if we all wanna hang at his place. Are you down? You can stay with me. Or I can drop you off at Josh's if you want?" She offered.
"No I'll go to Tyler's if you're going." She nodded and off we went.

Tyler's phone went off and he smiled, but his expression changed into something I couldn't read. I was so nervous. Tyler spoke sadly. "I'm so sorry man." He showed me his phone. It was Jenna.
She loves him, big time. I KNEW IT!
I punched Tyler's arm hard.
"Don't scare me like that." I warned.
"Chill out man, we're all gonna go to my place now. Cool?" I nodded and we left.
