Truce • Josh Dun

"You're on the news Jenn!" Brittney screams out.

"Shut up Brittney! Mom and dad are going to kill me if they find out I went out with Josh Dun."

The picture that Josh of me at the castle pops up on the screen. Then, a slideshow of other pictures people took of us shows on the flatscreen TV. The reporter continues to talk about the mystery girl. I'm the mystery girl.

"Omg! Jenn!" Brittney screams.

"I. What? Uh." I stutter.

What if mom and dad see these pictures online. This is not good. If I walk outside, people will be snapping pictures and they'll be waiting outside of the house. I've been given the attention that I never wanted. Then, the reporter starts talking about Debby.

"What will happen to Jebby? The ship was the talk of Hollywood for a while. What will happen to the two sweethearts if this new girl comes and steals Josh Dun's heart? We will be collecting all the information we can get, so if you ever see the two make sure to call or text us." The reporter says before the show ends.

He did have something going on with Debby. I don't think it's fair if he still has feelings for her. He can't. Can he?

Josh's POV

I came home and walked inside. Jennifer seemed pretty disappointed when she walked out of the car. She didn't even hug me. I wonder what the heck happened. She and I were having so much fun at Disneyland and all of a sudden it just fades away.

"Josh! Get your butt in here!" Tyler yells from the living room.

I walk to the living room and plop onto the couch. "What's up?"

He motions to the TV, " Why don't you watch for yourself?"

I look over to the TV and Hollywood's Stars is on. The breaking news pops onto the screen and I look at it, my jaw dropping to the floor. A bunch of photos of us pops up and Jenna walks in.

"The poor girl is getting the attention! You told me that you didn't want her to get this. Why?" Tyler asks.

"I don't know why they're aiming for her. She was just hanging out with me." I defend.

"Hollywood doesn't look at this that way. They think some drama is stirring up and they'll make anything out of what will happen." Jenna tells me.

"Oh shoot!" I say as they talk about my relationship with Debby.

"Good luck my fren. Good luck." Tyler says as he walks out with Jenna.

Jennifer's POV

Beep. Beep. Beep.

I quickly shut off my alarm and Brittney runs into my room.

"C'mon. We're going out." She tells me as she hops onto my bed.

"I'm not going out there. There's the paparazzi waiting for me to go out there. I'm going to die if I walk out there."

"Right. So what are you going to do? Stay inside all day?"

"Yup."

Brittney sighs and hops off my bed. She heads back to her room. What am I supposed to do today? I can't go outside. I can't tell my parents why. They'll get all curious. They'll find out that I went out with Josh Dun without telling them. They'll feel betrayed because I lied to them. Then, they'll kill me for being the worst daughter. Yeah, I'm being a little dramatic. Still, this could all lead to a big disaster. As long as I'm careful for the next few days, I'll be fine. We'll just leave and all will be fine. Only 4 more days. We're heading home to New York on Tuesday. I can't wait to be back. Wait. If this is all over the internet, everyone in school will know what happened. Great. Another problem to deal with.
