-Your P.O.V-

As soon as I finish reading the letter, my head droops down.

Josh gets closer to me.

"Wh-What did it say?" He asks, hesitantly.

My eyes start to fill up with tears before I place both of my palms on my head.

Josh wraps me in a hug without saying a word.

I stand up quickly before pacing around the tour bus.

Josh follows and tries to calm me down.

"(Y/N), calm down."

"Calm down!? Josh, I feel awful! Both of my parents are dead!" I sob.

Josh stands in front of me.

"I'm a horrible person! I was an awful daughter..." I sob, my voice shaking.

Josh wraps his arms around me and places his chin on the top of my head.

"You are definitely not. (Y/N), you're the most amazing person I know. I'm sure your father didn't think of you that way." He tries to assure me.

He places his lips on the top of my forehead before wiping my tears.

"Thank you, Josh."
