Don't Forget About Me

Defenseless

Bella takes a deep breath. 

"I'm not busy. Want me to call?" From Josh Dun. 

Bella finds Josh's contact, and hits call. 

"Hello?" Josh answers.

"Hey. It's me. " Bella says. 

"Hey Bella. Are you okay?" Josh asks. 

"I'm fine. Great, actually." She says. 

"That's awesome. What did you need to talk about?" Josh asks. She can hear the nervousness in his voice, and that makes her feel better, knowing she wasn't the only one nervous. 

"Do you remember what happened backstage? After Tyler left?" She asks, leaning forward on her bed. 

"The kiss?" Josh says. "I'm so sorry if I made you uncomfortable, I-"

"No." She interrupts him. "It was amazing."

She hears him sigh. "It was." 

"I just...don't want you to think that..."

"We could be together?" He asks. 

"No! I would love to be with you. I just don't want you to think I'm a defenseless little girl." She says. 

"Bella. I don't think that. I think you're beautiful. You're funny. Your laugh is adorable." Josh giggles. 

"And you're amazing. You are so selfless. You're so handsome. Smart. Talented." 

"Bella. I really like you." 

"I really like you too, Josh."
