Dear Josh - Josh Dun FanFiction

- nine -

4 weeks had passed and Joshua had come to every appointment I had every Monday. Because I didn't need much of the treatment as they thought. My sessions were cut down to an hour. Joshua had got a new job at a record store down the road. His close high school friend Tyler had come down to visit with his girlfriend and they stayed in the back room of Laura's home.

I was sitting at home with mum in our living room doing an Orange Is The New Black marathon. We had only just started the series and we were determined to finish all 5 seasons.

"We need some wine, I've had a rough day" my mum sighed. She jumped off the couch and skipped to the kitchen. Then returning with four full bottles of brown brothers Mascato.

"Mum! How drunk are you getting?!"

"Oh calm down you're acting like an old fart! Just drink with your mother, we haven't had a few drinks together in a while sweetheart"

"Free wine I'm not complaining okay"

A bottle later my mother was long gone. I stared at her laughing as she tried to get up off the couch. She stumbled into the kitchen and I could hear her crashing around. She came back holding two shot glasses and a bottle of tequila.

"Mum are you trying to kill me"

"Have fun grandma" my mother slurred as she sat back down on the couch. A few shots later we had forgot to watch the TV because mum wouldn't shut up.

"So Joshua and you. What is that?"

"Mum we are just friends"

"Oh honey if I were your age I wouldn't be just friends with a guy like that. He's so hot"

"MUM"

"What?! I'm just telling the truth! Get off your ass and go out with the guy he's gorgeous"

" I know I know. But wouldn't I be too much stress?"

"He's only known you for just over two months and he's come to everything and helped you through everything. I'm sure he has you as a priority"

"I guess so, I don't see why he would though. I mean, it's m-" I was cut off by my phone ringing.

"Hello?"

"Hey Em it's Josh"

"Oh hey what's up?"

"Do you mind if I drop over. Tyler and Jenna are drunk in my room and yeah they are entertaining themselves at the moment"

"Oh sure" I couldn't help but laugh. He sounded so confused.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes Joshua I'm fine"

"Emma you don't sound okay"

"Josh I'm fine I just had a few drinks with mum"

"Well I'll come over and make sure you're okay, okay?"

"Okay sure see you soon"

He hung up and mum looked at me weirdly.

"Who was that?"

"It was Joshua, he's gonna come over"

"Awe he's really cute, you guys would make a sweet couple. Ask him out"

"Mum no"

"Mum yes" she said as she couldn't contain her laughter.

"When will he be over?" She asked, as she attempted to stop laughing from her little joke.

"I'm not too sure, he told me he'd be over soon" she nodded then got up and stumbled into the kitchen.

"Mum what are you doing" I asked concerned.

"IM MAKING HIM BROWNIES. EVERYONE LOVES MY BROWNIES" she yelled as she began to sing that "my milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard" and replaced milkshakes with brownies. Yeah you catch my drift I guess.

My mother was too focused on making the brownies that I paused our show. This is one of the few times I had seen her happy. For once it was cause of me, we try to enjoy the time we have left together. She always hates how I say that.

"MA BROWNIES BRING ALL THE BOYS TO THE YARD AND IM LIKE THEY'RE BETTER THAN YOURS DAMN RIGHT THEY'RE BETTER THAN YOURS. I DON'T KNOW THE FUCKING WOR-" Mum jumped when she heard a knock at the door.

" NO NO NO MY BROWNIES AREN'T READY, JOSHUA CAN'T COME IN YET"

"Mum, its the pizza guy, you ordered pizza....remember" I say as I walk to the door.

She stands in the middle of the kitchen, I was waiting for it to click in her head.

"Oh yeah okay, why are you waiting I want pizza open the door" I go get the pizza and set it on the coffee table. Mum checks the brownies again before running back over to the couch to eat her pizza.

"Why is it paused?"

"I paused it cause I didn't want you to miss anything"

"Your dad never does that, I like you"

Another knock came to the door, I went to get up but mum had already yelled out to come in. Joshua walked through the door and looked at the both of us sitting on the couch. He laughed and came over to sit beside me on the couch.

"Joshua don't be mad I made you brownies but they aren't ready yet"

"Why would I be mad Sarah? You didn't have to make me anything"

"Joshua, she's hammered" I say
