Dear Josh - Josh Dun FanFiction

- four -

It was 1 am

My phone had buzzed

Unknown: I know it's late but hi it's josh
 
I looked at the text and a huge smile spread across my face. I put my phone back on my desk and was going to text back but I feel back asleep.

            **********************

My phone buzzed again which woke me from the best sleep I've had in weeks. I picked up my phone and Joshua had messaged me again.

Unknown #: morning Emma, hope you are feeling okay, did you want to get something for lunch and go to our spot?

I blushed at the thought of seeing Joshua again. He always asked me to call him josh. But I liked Joshua. It sounded beautiful. Just like him.

Me: yeah sure I'll tell mum when I get up

Joshua: okay aha get out of bed then, I'll meet you at the cafe at 12?

Me: 12 sounds great.

I quickly jumped out of bed and went to find mum. She was still in bed. Now to find dad.

"Dad where are you?"

"In the study"

He was sitting at the computer, he does volunteer work for the local football club and they have a meeting later today.

"What's the problem em?"

Hey dad I'm hanging out with the hot cafe boy

"Is it okay if I meet up with a friend for lunch?"

"Are you well enough, just be careful, you have your first round of chemo tomorrow"

"I will be okay dad"
I'm terrified.

I walked back in the kitchen and all I could think about was tomorrow, they were going to start chemo. I've never been so scared in my life because I didn't know what was going to happen.

"Hopefully this actually helps me in some way" I whisper to myself.

Today I wanted to look good. I really liked Joshua and after yesterday's talk he turned out to be the biggest sweetheart I'd ever met. He was so generous and thoughtful. And so god damn beautiful. Now that we were catching up again for lunch I wanted to look nice.

For the first time in about 3 months I sat at my desk where I did my makeup. Dust had collected on the white table. I washed a few of the brushes I'd need and did my old favourite look. Eyeliner was my favourite. It took me a few goes before they looked accurate. Then contour was the worst, I hadn't don't it in ages that it took a bit to remember.

Every girl has that five minutes where she models her makeup in front of her mirror. Yeah I did that for another five. Because I was so impressed.

Me: Joshua I'm leaving now I'll see you soon.

I sent the message and head outside. I was about to put my phone in my pocket when it buzzed.

Joshua: I'm at the cafe, I apologise in advance if I'm upset today.

Me: are you okay Joshua? Do you wanna talk about it?

Joshua: I... I got fired...

Oh. Shit.

Me: omg, are you sure you still want to catch up, I understand if you don't.
