Chapter 16

I can't shake this feeling of guilt. I feel so bad for getting mad at Josh like that, I mean I was just about to walk out the door and probably run off crying. I would have no idea where to go if I did. I just didn't know he was planning on surprising me with such a wonderful gift.

I just sat there and studied the beautiful ring on my finger.

"Why am I so stupid?" I whispered to myself as I put my head in my hands.

"What's up?" A voice said, startling me.

"Shit Josh, you scared me" I said almost jumping up from the table.

"What's the matter?" Josh said "you seem stressed" he put his hand on my back.

The feeling of his hand on my back made my stomach churn. Why is he still by my side when I'm constantly making a dick out of myself? Not once has he started a fight between us. Its always me.

"Nothing" I sighed.

"Now Whitney, I've been with you for long enough to know for a fact that 'nothing' means something"

He knows me too well...

"Josh, why are you such a perfect boyfriend? I'm always pushing you away, but you keep pulling me right back every time."

"That's what I'm supposed to do. If I'm going to spend the rest of my life with you, I'm gonna stay by your side no matter what"

There he goes again, being so sweet. I wish that I could be like that. He really deserves to be treated like gold... It kinda makes me mad sometimes, how he can be so sweet and nonchalant when there's clearly something weighing on my mind that isn't a joking matter. I know he's just trying to comfort me, but it always makes him seem like he is the better person in this relationship. I always end up feeling like the bad guy.

Josh wrapped his hands around my waist from behind and rested his chin on my shoulder as I relax and examine the ring one more time. The diamond sparkles as I move it back and forth.

"Its so beautiful" I sigh.

"Just like you" he said as he kissed my cheek.

"stop doing that" I laughed and playfully pushed him away.

"Doing what?" He giggled as he almost fell over

"Being so damn cute" I said "you're making me jealous" I folded my arms across my chest.

"I don't have anything to be jealous over. I'm the one who should be jealous over you" Josh smirked at me. I could tell that he wanted to play.

I squinted my eyes and gave him a 'bring it' kind of look.

"Hey, look" I said pointing to nothing in particular behind him.

As he briefly turned his head to see what I was pointing at, I tackled him to the bed. I could tell that he let me pin him down. Josh may not look it, but he is actually pretty strong.

"Okay, my turn" Josh said as he flipped me over and hopped on top of me. He had one leg on each side of my waist.

I looked up into his blue eyes which were kinda covered by his dark shaggy hair.

"I miss doing this" I whispered

"Wrestling and having fun? Yeah, me too" Josh agreed.

He gave up and rolled over beside me. I turned so I could look him in the eyes.

"I love you Joshua" I said. "I hope you know that"

"Of course I know that, Whitney. Why would you think otherwise?" Josh said.

"I just feel like I don't tell you enough. I really really do love you. With all my heart" I said.

"I love you too Whitney" Josh said as he placed a nice soft kiss on my lips.

Me and Josh stayed in his bed and cuddled for what seemed like forever. I enjoyed every second.

"I wish we could do this all the time" Josh said.

"Yeah, me too" I said as the phone started to ring.

"Ughhhh" we said at the same time.

"I'll get it" Josh said jumping over me.

He picked up the phone and had a short conversation with whoever was on the other line, then he ran back into the bedroom

"Get up, we have to go now" Josh said panicking

"Josh, what happened?" I said

"We have to go to the hospital now. Matt and Vikki were in an accident"

Those words made my blood run cold.

"Let's go"
