This is Not What I Had Planned || Joshler [Completed]

3: House Warming

★Josh's POV★

The bell rang and I got up from the couch.

"I'll get it," I called as I jogged to the buzzer. I hit the button and spoke. "Come on up!" I turned away from the door and saw Tyler walk out of the kitchen, wiping his hands on his pants.

"Are they here?"

"Someone is," I replied.

"You didn't ask who it was? You just let them up?" He placed his hands on his hips.

"Yes... Is that not good?"

"Josh, we aren't in the suburbs anymore. Anyone could just come by and ring that bell. You can't just let anyone in!" I looked down at my feet. I feel like a child being reprimanded. Tyler always had a parental way about him. He must've noticed my reaction because he sighed and placed a hand on shoulder. "I'm sorry. Just, please, ask who it is from now on." Before I could agree, there was a knock on the door. I turned back around and opened the door.

"Josho!" Pete exclaimed, pulling me into a hug. I laughed and hugged him back. I pulled away and looked at Patrick next to him. I hugged him too as Pete walked inside past me to hug Tyler. I let Patrick go and led him inside. He hugged Tyler and I walked into the kitchen.

"Can I get you guys something to drink?"

"I'll take a coke," Pete said.

"RedBull for me!" Patrick added.

"Good choice," I heard Tyler say. I grabbed two red bulls and a coke. I gave the red bulls to Tyler and Patrick and gave Pete his soda. They all popped their tabs in refreshing unison. The bell rang and I jogged over to the buzzer. This time, instead, I hit the talk button.

"Who is it?" I asked.

"It's Hayley, Ashley, and Melanie," a pixelated voice said.

"Come on up! The door'll be unlocked, so you can let yourself in," I replied, hitting the button. I rejoined the guys who had made their way into the living room. They were talking about something that happened at Pete and Patrick's graduation. The door swung open and the girls walked in. We all stood and shared hugs and exclamations about the others appearances.

Ashley's hair was styled into a short pixie cut. Hayley's hair was a bright yellow color. Melanie's hair was dyed blue and black. They praised the blue color in my hair and my tattoo.

Once everyone was situated around the kitchen and living room, the oven beeped and Tyler hurried to take out the pizzas. The delicious smell soon filled the apartment. The bell rang again and I walked back to the buzzer.

"Who is it?"

"It's Gerard," the voice said.

"And Marina!"

"Oh shit. Hey, Marina. I didn't see you walk up." I laughed and hit the button.

"Come on up!" Soon enough, I opened the door to greet them. We all gathered in the kitchen and grabbed slices of pizza. We caught each other up on anything we hadn't already shared while devouring our pizza.

"I want to drop out," Melanie said, quietly. I had forgotten that she was younger than us. She was a senior this year.

"Really?" Tyler asked.

"Yea. I might move to LA and play music. I just need to get out of here." She was far away in her mind and a smile was on her lips. She was young and naive. "I don't know, though."

"Since I'm the oldest," Gerard started, "let me give you some advice. Finish school. You don't have to go to college, but at least finish high school. You don't want to go to LA, have it not work out, and then not have anything to do because you didn't finish your education."

"Okay," she said, her smile fading.

"But, don't take that as me saying to give up on your dreams," he added. "Please, for god sakes, don't give up on your dreams." Melanie smiled and took another bite of her pizza.

Once everybody was full, we decided to watch a movie. Everyone couldn't fit on our couch, so we grabbed our pillows and blankets and a few people sat on those on the ground. Tyler and I snuggled up together on the ground next to Pete, Patrick, and Gerard. We had insisted that the girls got to sit on the actual seats.

After spending 20 minutes picking a movie, we decided on Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
