Newsies One Shots

Josh Burrage {Stage Door} 2

Josh's POV

"Dude," Sky complained, "There are hundreds of girls who saw the show tonight. You aren't going to be able to find a specific one."

"Found her." I announced, smiling. She was the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. As soon as I got back to my hotel room I started searching all over Twitter for her. Seeing as how I didn't get her name, it was pretty hard, but I just searched through a pretty popular fansie's followers until I found her. I felt kind of dumb because I had actually tweeted her during intermission.

Savannah.

I mustered up all my courage, because I always got nervous when interacting with girls I like, and followed her on twitter, as well as using the link in her bio and following her on Instagram. She had also posted a picture we took of us hugging at the stage door, so I liked it and commented some hearts.

"When are you ever going to see her again?" Sky asked, "it's not like she lives anywhere near you."

"She's seeing the show again," I explained, "so I'm gonna talk to her and maybe ask her to hang out."

"Josh," he started, "you know I love you, but that's not realistic. She lives 2000 miles from New York."

I sighed, "I know, but I need to try. I'm gonna tell you something right now. I'm gonna marry her." I wasn't lying. She was the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, and as I scrolled through her twitter, her personality matched. I'm gonna marry Savannah.

Savannah's POV

Sky stood up on a chair towards the front of the dance floor, and someone handed him a microphone.

"Everyone listen up! I'm going to tell a little story." He yelled, looking over at Josh and I.

I held my husband's hand, and he squeezed it back. This was so surreal to me; I'm actually Josh's wife.

Sky started telling the story of our relationship. I couldn't help but smile at every detail, even at the sad details.

"Text me everyday," I begged as Josh got out of the uber we were in.

He nodded, "Call me everyday." I kissed him, a small tear running down my cheek, "I'll see you for Christmas." Josh promised.

"I love you." I blurted, saying those three words for the first time. We've only been dating 4 months, but I know 100% that I love him.

He looked shocked for a second, but engulfed me in a huge hug, "I love you, too, Savannah."

A few weeks later, I noticed Josh becoming more distant in his texts. 2 days went by without us talking, then 5, then a whole week, then 2 weeks.

Everyone told me that this was inevitable; he lives in New York City, and I live 2000 miles away.

I boarded the plane to JFK International Airport, and took my seat for the long flight. He did seem somewhat excited when we talked last night about me coming to stay with him and Ben for Christmas, which is a good sign. 

Ben picked me up, because my plane landed when Josh was teaching a class for some dance academy.

"Hi, Savannah," Ben said quietly as I got into his car.

"Hey Ben!" I smiled, "what's wrong?" He seems really standoffish, which isn't like him.

He shook his head, "nothing."

I let it go, not wanting to bug him, although 2 days later, I wished I hadn't. He definitely knew something I didn't.

"What do you mean you don't think this is working?!" I screamed, tears pouring down my face, "It would be fine if you ever answered my phone calls!"
