October/2013

Josie POV

The alarm goes of with the most annoying buzzing noise, waking me from a piece full sleep and a dream I never wanted to wake up from

***In dream***

"What we're you gonna ask me?" I ask

"I was gonna ask if you would go out with me" I hear a voice say to me and arms wrapping around me to hold me

And then my alarm goes off

I groan and slowly wake up wishing I was still in my dream feeling safe and protected by the arms

But as I wake up I start to get ready by going and taking a hot shower before school

After I finish with my shower I walk out and dry off with a towel and go get a Black Veil Brides tee shirt and Ripped black skinny jeans with my new white converses

After getting ready and doing my hair I walk to the kitchen and sit down next to Levi

"About time your up" He mumbles to me

"Shut up" I say angry

My step dad looks over to me "don't mouth off young lady" he growls

"But.." I start but get cut off

"Don't talk back to your father" my mother scolds me as I get up

"Bye." I walk off and out the door alone and towards the bus stop.

I get there with only a few other people there, James being one of them

I sit down on a bench by myself and plug in my ear buds as I see James walk over and sit next to me leaning in slightly

"Hey" He says looking at me with a smile

"Hi.." I reply

"What's up?" He asks

"Just listening to music.."

"Oh.. No Jason?"

"I guess not" I frown to him

"Well you don't need him anyway"

"What! Yes I do!" I growl to him

"Well I don't think you do..." he says trailing off

"What do you mean?" I ask raising an eyebrow as he stays quiet

"Hello? Jam-" I get cut off by him crashing my lips into his as I try to push him away but unable to

As he slowly pulls away I look into his eyes with him looking into mine

"Why did you just do that..." I ask in shock

"Because I want you Josie, I have ever since I first saw you"

"Then why did you make my life hell!?Ever since you met Maria you made me feel worthless and unwanted until I met Jason" I begin to feel tears in my eyes

"Maria made me do it! I never wanted to Josie I swear! I just didn't want to be alone since you wouldn't go out with me" he hugs me

"But you still made it hell..." I push him away and start to get up as I hear Jason's car start up and pull out of his drive way headed towards the bus stop when James grabs my wrist and pulls me close to him
