Josh's fist hits Brendon, right in the jaw.

Brendon is now on the floor.

I can't do anything, but stare.

What the hell am I supposed to do?

I'm not strong enough the hold Josh back.

Brendon attempts to get back up, but Josh punches him, again.

There is now blood coming from his mouth.

And on Josh's knuckles, but it's not his.

Josh steps on Brendon's chest, "Don't you ever come near us, again."

He steps off and turns around.

He holds out his hand, and I take it.

I still can't speak.

We walk out, hand in hand.

Once were in his car, I finally speak.

"Josh, what the hell?"

I am clearly, very shocked.

"Not the first time I've punched the shit out of someone. You know what they say, like father like son."

We both start laughing.

Once the laughter dies out, Josh looks at me in the eyes.

"So, what I was saying earlier, I'm sorry."

"It's okay. Everything's okay."

I smile at him.

We're both staring at each other.

Josh grabs my face and kisses me.

When we release, we're almost out of breath.

"I fucking missed you." Josh breathes out.

"Let's go home."

I smile at him, biting my lip a little.

He turns the engine on, and backs out.

He's driving down the road, one hand on the wheel, the other holding mine.

We are back on our bed, watching television.

I'm wrapped up in his arms, covered with blankets.

"Hey, Ty?"

I give him a 'hm' back.

"Did you eat last night?"

"Yeah, I did. Because you would've wanted me to."

"Thanks, baby."

I tilt my head up to look at him.

I kiss his chin, "You keep me safe and alive. Thank you."

He kisses my forehead back and sits up.

"Do you want to go on a road trip? I mean, the sun hasn't even gone down yet."

I think about it for a second.

"Yeah. Where to?"

"Where ever you want."

"I don't want to go anywhere, Can we just drive?"

"Of course."

We get up and put our shoes back on.

I grab his hoodie and throw it on.

He changed his jeans to sweatpants.

"This will be a long drive."

We both pick up our phone and chargers.
