I Don't Care What They Think ( Josh Balz love story)

Chapter 7 ||The past can't be erased

Alice's POV

LIGHT TRIGGER WARNING

I am so happy Josh and I got back to normal, it was getting really upsetting not talking to him. Talking to him was almost like a drug, like a happy pill. Our friendship has turned into more of friends with benefits, which i don't know is good or bad. I mean we are soon to be step siblings, but we aren't blood related. Anyway, today Josh and I are going to a pool party today at TJs house since his parents are out of town.

I was excited but also a little bit scared. Not of water or my body just what was on my body. The scars. The only person who knew about it was my mom and she is the reason I got help. I was going through a lot that only Renee knew about. I didn't have that many good friends in Cali that's why only she knows and of course my mom. I wasn't thinking at all when Josh asked me to go with him to this stupid pool party.

I striped from my clothing just to see that old white scars that laid on my thighs. I got my bathing suit and slipped it on as the scars looked more noticeable with the hot pink near it. I sighed and started to cry. I hated that i did that to myself i just wish i could erase them. I heard a knock on the door as i covered my thighs with a towel."Come in" I said as the door opened, it was Josh."hey, whats wrong?" he asked concerned."nothing". I said as he looked at me in confusion."I heard you crying Alice, whats wrong? " he asked i removed the towel to show the scars."alice...." he said softly. I didn't respond, just looked down in shame."Why?" he asked. "I was suffering through depression...my dad was a drunk druggie and school was horrible." I said as he sat next to me on the side of the bathtub. "its okay, just promise me never to do it again" He said kissing my cheek."i promise" I said as i gave him a gentle smile. Josh went down and kissed each scar. " I love you" he said before kissing me passionately. "Lets get you a bathing suit skirt on the way, so we can cover the top ones." he smiled as i got some shorts and a shirt on and left.

After we got the skirt we headed towards TJs house. I slipped the skirt over my bikini bottoms. Josh smirked as he watched me pull my shorts over them. "I just don't understand how you could damage something so beautiful" he said making me blush ruby red.

When we arrived to the house we went up the door and heard the music playing loudly. "Heyyyyy guys, come on in" Frank said letting us in."Damn Alice looking fine" He said as Josh glared at him."Come on man, that is my sister " Josh said before winking at me." respect sorry" Frank said smiling.
