Pic Above Is How Josh Looks

(Allison's POV)

I ran out, tears pricking at my eyes and streaming down my face. I didn't get far because I tripped, falling to the ground. I let out a sob, rolling onto my back. I could hear them approaching me. They're gonna put you in a mental hospital you freak get up ! I groan and try to get up, but the pain in my back was too much. Fuck up! Fuck up! "Ally!" I hear Shane say and I look over to see him kneel down.

"What's going on?" He asks and I shrug. "Tag?" I say and Ryland looks at me weirdly, obviously seeing the tears. "Why're you crying?" He asks and Shane looks at me and also notices and bends down, again. "Do you wanna talk about it?" He asks and I shake my head no. "When you're ready you can alright?" Ryland says and I nod.

"Lets head back okay?" Shane says and I nod. "Can you help me up..?" I ask, my voice soft. "Yeah.." He states, and holds out his hand. I take it and he pulls me up, and I look at them both, tears welling in my eyes. "I'm sorry." I say simply, before walking towards the house. I could hear them follow me. They were talking about Joey but I couldn't hear them fully. Nor did I care to hear either.

As I approach the house I notice a car in the driveway, that definitely wasn't there before. "Oh I guess they're here already." I hear Ryland say and I stop in my tracks, fear. I hate meeting new people. What if they don't like me? God I can't stand judgement. "Ally..?" Shane asks and I jump slightly at the sudden noise and turn to look at them.

"You heading in?" He asks. "Oh uhm yeah.." I mumble and I walk up to the door, gripping the handle. Might as well get this over with. I push open the door and step aside so Ryland and Shane could also walk in. I keep my head down, not daring to look up. "Ah there you guys are!" Someone says happily. Sounded like Joey. I didn't pay much attention to the conversation.

Although I was there physically, mentally I wasn't. I was also growing tired from running and crying. "Ally." I hear someone say and I look up. It was Ryland. "Hey are you okay..?" He asks and I shrug. "I don't know.." I mumble as laughter made its way to my ears. "Why don't you go talk to their son Josh?" He suggests and I shrug. "I'm awkward.." I mumble and he ahs.

"Well if you need to talk to Shane or I, you can." He says and I nod. I decide to get a glass of water, becoming overwhelmed by the noise and people. I'm dramatic what do you expect. I grab a cup, filling it up with water and I lean against the counter as I drink it. The cold liquid soothing my dry throat from crying and relaxing me. You really fucked up this time, Ally. You'll be in a mental hospital your whole life. I sigh in annoyance as I continue to sip my water.

Mad? Boo hoo. Not my fault you're a Fuck up. I sigh loudly, and go to turn to put the glass but notice a spider in the sink and scream, dropping the glass. Luckily, it didn't break. "What the fuck." I say gripping my hair and I could hear people walk in. Oh great they think something serious happened. "What happened?" I hear someone say. "Just me being dramatic.." I mumble turning to look at everyone. "It's only a stupid spider." I say and Shane looks at me wide eyed. "Where's my blow torch?!" He says and I chuckle.

I didn't expect him to actually pick up up a blow torch and attempt to burn it, but Ryland stopped him, and then proceeded to try to hit it with a broom. It was amusing truly. "Are they always this crazy?" Someone says and I look over to see the boy, I'm assuming is Josh. "Oh uh.. 'm not sure. Probably, I haven't been here to long to observe that." I state and he nods. "Oh uh I'm Joshua, by the way. But you can call me Josh if you'd like." He says and I smile.

"I'm Allison, or Ally." I say and he smiles. "That's a pretty name." He states and I smile. "Why thank you." I say and he chuckles. "So why were you in here by yourself?" He asks and I shrug. "Being around a lot of people.. scares me? Overwhelms me? I don't know the right word.." I say softly. "Do you have social anxiety?" He asks and I look up.

"Hmm I've never thought of that." I say and he chuckles softly. "I know how you feel, meeting new people, how terrifying it is. Afraid to mess something up. It's overwhelming. Anytime you need to talk, I'm here." He says and I smile. He barely knows me and yet he's so sweet to me. "Wow.. uh thank you.. that means a lot, Josh." I say and he smiles.

"Wanna go for a walk? Get to know each other? He suggests and I nod. "Sure I'd like that." I say and he nods. "Shane, Josh and I are going for a walk, I needa make friends with him." I say and he nods, continuing his conversation with Daniel.

Once we get out of the house, we walked in a random direction. "So what do you like to do?" He asks and I think for a bit. "I like singing. I'm no good, but I like it. I also love music. It's so soothing. Hmm, I like to draw a bit, doodle random things. What about you?" I ask looking up at him.

He's a bit taller than me, and I find it adorable. I mean, what? No I don't shut up. "I also have a passion for music. I used to be in a "band" with my girlfriend, Sarah, but it didn't work out. After our partner was gone." He says, the smile dropping from his face. "Partner? You mean bandmate?" I ask and he shrugs. "Both." He says and confusion fills me. "What do you mean? I don't understand." I state and he sighs.

"Maybe I'll tell you another time." He says and I frown. "Josh, I'm confused." I say. "If I tell you, you can't make fun of me or judge me." He says and I give him a confused look. "Why would I judge you?" I say. "Ever heard of polyamory?" He asks and I nod. "Oo yeah! I have." I say. "We were in one. But he, he passed away, and we gave up, after all, we couldn't continue without a guitarist. And we were too heartbroken to replace him, but yeah.." Josh says and I frown.

"I'm sorry for your loss. I can't imagine that." I say and he smiles. "It's okay, He's in a better place now." He says and I nod. "I also love cuddling ya know. It's like a hobby for me." He says and I giggle. "I can relate." I say and he smiles. "We should head back, I don't know when I'm leaving." He says and I nod. "Yeah let's go." I agree and we start heading back.
