Truce • Josh Dun

Light fills the room as the sun rises. The windows surrounding the room makes for a great natural alarm clock. The bright sunlight wakes both Josh and I up. My eyes open and I look around. I look down and feel his arms around my small figure. I blush and I guess he notices he's holding me, so he pulls his arms away.

Josh's POV

We awoke at the same time and I realized my arms were wrapped around her. We just woke up like this. Quickly, I pulled my arms back. I clear my throat.

"Sorry." I scratch the back of my neck.

"It's umm okay." She replies.

The room is soon filled with silence. There's no noise whatsoever in the house. Dead silent.

Not knowing what to say, I ask, "How was your sleep?"

"It was amazing. This bed is great!"

I smile, "That's good."

She looks over to me and opens her mouth to say something, but changes her mind.

Jennifer's POV

I was about to ask him what had changed his mind about Debby. Instead, I shook the thought away. He looks over to me and a worried look covers his face.

"Uh where's the bathroom?" I ask instead.

"Right over there." He points to a door over on the right.

I walk over to the bathroom and close the door. Once I get in, I sit against the door and take a deep breath. It felt so right to wake up next to him. I want to wake up next to him everyday. Suddenly, a knock on the door makes me jump out of my skin. I stand up quickly and open the door. Josh stands there with a guilty look on his face.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you or anything. I kinda figured you needed a toothbrush." He says.

"Oh yeah. Thanks Josh." I smile and he hands me the toothbrush.

I close the door again and look in the mirror. My cheeks are as pink as Brittney's walls. Her walls are super pink. Like hot pink. Am I blushing? Oh my god. What if he noticed? Stop freaking out Jennifer. I wash my face, the cold water hitting against my skin. I brush my teeth and walk out.

"Do you wanna shower? I can go ask Jenna for an extra change of clothes for you." Josh asks.

"Umm okay."

"Are you uncomfortable? Is it because we slept together or whatever? I'm sorry."

"No, no. I guess it's just weird to think that you're not with Debby anymore. It's like my brain doesn't believe it, so sleeping with you felt wrong." I say.

It actually felt like I was supposed to be there. Like that was where I fit in. His arms were like they were molded to wrap around me.

"Oh...yeah. Well, um I'll go get you a change of clothes."

Josh's POV (sorry there'll be a lot of switching)

I walk out of the room and head to Jenna and Tyler's room. Why wouldn't she believe it? Debby and I never really had a, well, spark. I guess we were just doing it for the fans. If the fans are happy, I'm happy. Fans didn't envy Debby and hate her for dating me. Why are they so cold to Jennifer? I've seen and heard the things they say to her. It's disgusting.

I knock on the door and Jenna opens it.

"Hey Josh, I saw you weren't on the couch this morning."

I look down and clear my throat, "Uh yeah. Slept in the bed last night."

"You made Jennifer sleep on the couch dude?!" Tyler asks from inside the room.
