The high pitched noise from the clock drastically woke Josh up, his hand smashing the top of it. He let out a loud sigh, before jumping out of his bed. His mom had asked him all week to buy some groceries, since she was too sick to do it herself. Josh was glad to help, he just wanted to sleep a bit longer - although it was 6 PM. Normally, he practically napped all day, but he really had to buy some food for him and his mom.
15 minutes later, he found himself at target. The lights there were way too bright, and he looked down.
He quickly began throwing things in the cart, not even thinking about what it was - he just took what seemed useful. He also headed over to the frozen meals - just in case.
Everything was normal on the grocery trip, except that it wasn't. Josh spotted a boy leaning over the freezer. His hair was dark brown. He looked sad, and.. empty? Josh tilted his head like a confused puppy. He bit his lower lip, and leaned over the freezer to take a box. The other boy flinched, and looked up, straight in Josh's eyes. The boy's eyes were just as brown as his hair, and they looked terrified (a/n i stg PLEASE don't make forest fic references:(( )
Josh studied the boy's face. He was beautiful. Just as he was about to say sorry for scaring him, the boy ran away. Was Josh that scary? He questioned himself. Not like he would be surprised, it wasn't like the other kids at the school liked him at all.
Josh couldn't help but look after the scared boy as he ran through the store. The confused, pink haired boy threw the box in the cart, and went home.
"I'm home!" Josh's voice filled the quiet house, and he threw his shoes away. He ran through the living room, and made his way to his mom. She still was in her bed, just as he left her. She gave him a big ear-to-ear grin. He smiled back at her. The pink haired boy took her hand, and gave her a kiss on her forehead.
He knew she didn't have long, he didn't deny it. But it was just hard, hard to know that one day she would be gone. Eventually, he would have to move on, to say goodbye. He closed his eyes, which made a hot tear travel its way down his cheeks. She gave him a small smile, and tightened her grip around her son's hand. He opened his eyes and smiled at her.
another shitty chapter yay
