Christmas time at the Dun's household was both fun and chaotic. I enjoyed watching Home Alone with Josh a hundred times, we basically knew the entire script by heart. Ashley took me with her to get presents for everyone and thankfully everyone was happy with their presents I got them. I received a few small gifts from everybody. Of course Josh went a little overboard and got me a necklace {pictured above}, with a pearl for Josh's birthstone and (your birthstone).
"Josh, you're too much", I reply when I opened the small box containing the necklace.
He smiled," Only the best for my girl "
I roll my eyes and smile, " Okay open mine "
Josh smiled back and grabbed my present from under the tree.
He ripped through the silver and red wrapping paper and opened the white box. When he saw what was in the box he let out a small laugh. He pulled out the two sweatshirts, one with cats and the other had a tiny alien on it.
"I love them", He responds and pulls the alien sweatshirt on over his shirt.
"I'm glad you do, there's something else too", I say pointing at the bottom of the box.
He was confused for a second but looked into the box again. Josh reaches into the box and pulls out a piece of paper.
"You bought me a star?!?", Josh yells out.
"Only the best for my guy", I respond.
Josh pulls me into a hug and pecks me on the cheek. He stared at the piece of paper in amazement.
"You know you can name it right?", I ask.
His eyes widened," What?! I can? This is great!"
He really loved his star. And I really loved him
*time skip a few days brought to you by Jenna's pink hair*
"Hey (Y/N)?", Josh asks during How The Grinch Stole Christmas.
"What is it Josh?", I reply, turning the volume down.
"An old friend of mine is having a New Year's Eve party tomorrow, would you want to go?"
A party? Josh knows I don't so too well with large crowds but maybe this is a small gathering? Josh seemed like he really wanted to go...
I nod," Sounds fun, let's go"
Josh smiles," Great!"
*time skip to tomorrow bc I'm lazy brought to you by Josh's painted nails*
"(Y/N) Are you ready?", Josh yells up the stairs.
"Yeah I'm coming!", I yell back down to Josh. I add some finishing touches to my makeup and grabbed my phone then raced down the stairs. I hope what I was wearing wasn't too casual. Just thick leggings, a shirt and one of Josh's jackets.
Josh and I walk out of the house and to Jordan's car. Thankfully he let us borrow it for tonight. I wish I had my car still, but it's back home....is that even home anymore?
"His heater works right?", I ask while we hopped into the car.
"I hope so, otherwise I'm gonna kill him", Josh jokes.
Fortunately the heater did works so we were not freezing our asses off. Josh turned on the radio and Stressed Out came on.
I laugh," Look it's my favorite band "
Josh smirks, " Let me guess, the drummer is your favorite "
"I prefer the singer but the drummer is pretty cool", I respond.
We both look at each other and start laughing. A few moments we enter Down town and there were so many people partying at bars. We pulled into a hotel parking lot.
"Your friend is having a party at a hotel?"
"Apparently"
We quickly get out of the car and run into the hotel so we didn't freeze. the party was being held in the ballroom but we didn't have trouble finding it since there were little signs, and we could hear everybody. There were about 100 people there already, so much for a 'small' gathering. I recognized some people but I don't think we would be counted as 'friends'. Josh started talking to someone with long brown hair and blue lipstick.
"(Y/N), this one of my close friends Jesse", Josh introduced me to the blue lipstick guy.
Jesse held out his hand," Nice to meet you (Y/N)! Josh has told me a lot about you"
I smile and shake his hand," Nice to meet you too, Jesse"
Josh and Jesse continue talking, something about music. I started zoning out a bit. Ever now and then Josh would include me into the conversation but I knew he wanted to catch up with his friend so I let him do most of the talking. A few hours passed by, more than half the people were already drunk. Thankfully they served other drinks besides booze so I decide to grab a non-alcoholic drink. I didn't realize that it was already 11:59 and everyone started counting down with the ball drop on tv. I threw away my cup and tried to find my way to Josh since he wanted to do the kissing at midnight tradition. I look all around but I couldn't find Josh. I scanned the room, looking for that bright yellow haired man. I finally found his yellow hair and started making my way towards him.
That's when I saw them.
A girl was kissing Josh.....or was Josh kissing another girl?
I could feel the tears streaming down my face. Nobody saw except Josh when he stopped kissing that girl.
"(y/n)....", he whispered out.
Before he reached me, I took the necklace that he gave me and threw it onto the ground. And I started to run. He called out my names many times, telling me to stop. But I didn't. I kept going.
"Who knew the person you'd take a bullet for is behind the trigger", I think to myself.
