Holding On To You - Joshler

10

*Josh's POV

I walk into Troye's house. I immediately see Melanie and Brendon talking on a couch. I get a drink and join them.

"Hello are you still angry with me," Brendon says and laughs. He is very drunk.

"No."

"Angry about what?" Melanie asks.

"Nothing"

-

Many drinks later Brendon suggests that we should play truth or dare. A bunch of people join us.

"Melanie, truth or dare?" Brendon asks.

"Dare."

"Make out with me," Brendon says.

"No," Melanie says.

"Fine. Then you have to make out with Ashley."

"Okay," Melanie answers and kisses Ashley.

"Tyler, truth or dare?" Melanie says.

"Truth," Tyler answers.

"Would you rather date Josh or Brendon?"

I hate you Melanie. Why'd you ask him that?

"Josh," Tyler says and smiles. Brendon looks offended.

He chose me. He chose me. He chose me!!

"Troye, truth or dare?"

"Truth," Troye says.

"What's the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you?" Tyler asks him.

Troye starts telling a story about something but I can't concentrate because I am panicking about the questions someone might ask me.

"Josh. Josh!"

I look at Troye. He is talking to me.

"What?"

"Truth or dare?" he asks.

"Um... Dare."

"Kiss Tyler."

"I...I..." I run upstairs and lock myself in the bathroom.

As soon as the door is closed, I start sobbing.

Why am I so stupid? Why did I just run away? Now everyone is going to find out about my secret.

Then I hear a knock on the door. Oh no.

I just sit on the floor and pretend I didn't hear anything.

"Josh? Are you in there?" It's Tyler. Great. "I know you're in there, Josh. Please open the door."

I open the door and see Tyler. He looks concerned.

"Josh, what happened?" Tyler asks.

I'm too drunk to think of a good excuse. "Um... I-I don't know."

"You can tell me, Josh," Tyler says.

"I don't... It's nothing."

"Josh."

"What."

Tyler rolls his eyes. "Just tell me."

And then I start crying again. "I can't. I can't tell you. You're going to hate me."

"I'm not going to hate you," Tyler says.

"Fine. I'm in love with you, Tyler," I say quietly. He just stares at me and I immediately regret saying anything. "I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have told you."

"It's okay, Josh. I like you too," Tyler says and smiles.

"Wh-what?" I say and stare at him.

He interrupts me by kissing me.
