//Fifteen//

Kinda wanna quicken the pace of this story but only slightly ?? Like, time skips and shit but I wanna know what y'all think first. Also I mean, I'm proud of how this story is slowly getting more noticed but I mean, if you guys know anyone who likes reading joshler...

;cold eyes;

"Jenna, why are you here? How did you know where I live?" Tyler said, feeling a mixture of confusion and other feelings he couldn't describe.

"I missed you babe, I honestly couldn't handle just seeing you for an hour each night." She pouted, pecking her boyfriend on the neck.

"But what about your home?" He asked worryingly, her parents weren't the type to let her just move to Earth.

"I left a note, my parents can't do anything anyway while I'm here." Jenna said trying to sound as convincing as she could.

"Kelly, Chris, a-are you okay with her staying?" Tyler asked, they both simply nodded, not showing much emotion. Jenna cheered and squealed, smiling to herself in victory.

"So baabe, are we gonna share a room?" She teased, a playful smirk aimed at Tyler. His face immediately turned red. Tyler looked at Kelly, his gaze telling her they needed to talk. Kelly simply nodded,whispering to Chris to show Jenna around and explain Earth life to her.

"Jenna babe, Chris is gonna show you around and explain the stuff you need to know, alright? Kelly and I are gonna prepare space for you to stay." He smiled, Jenna giggled and Chris escorted her out.

Tyler and Kelly stood at the kitchen, leaning against the counter.

"Did you know at all she was coming?" Kelly asked curiously.

The brunette shook his head.

"She never mentioned anything about wanting to stay here...Kelly,I'm getting weird vibes." He whispered truthfully.

"Could be just the shock, dear. Although I expected some more excitement from you. When you first moved, you never shut up about her." She teased, he just shrugged.

"Of course I'm happy." He lies through a giddy smile. In all honestly, he just felt confused, betrayed almost. It made him think to when Jenna asked him if he truly loved her. Did she doubt him? Is this just a big babysitting excuse?

"Tyler dear, when your nervous, your thoughts become crystal clear." Kelly said concernedly. She didn't read minds, but she feels and sees auras of others, and from years of knowing him, she almost read him like a book.

"Cmon sweetie, what's wrong?" She rested her hand on his shoulder to try to comfort her.

"I feel like she's here to babysit me. I thought she trusted me, Kelly." He frowned, looking down.

"Hun, love makes us do weird things, stuff we never expected to do in our lives." She reasoned, he just shrugged again. The odd vibes just made him uncomfortable.

"Anyways, where were you last night?" She questioned curiously.

"Neighbor's." He replied quietly, memories from last night making him smile. Again, his thoughts were crystal clear to the woman in front of him.

"He means a lot to you, doesn't he?" She smiled.

"He's my first real friend here, plus, he felt down last night I saw him. Something just urged me to go and help cheer him up." He giggled. Kelly was fairly shocked, he freaking giggled. She didn't push with questions any further, sooner or later Tyler would realize what he felt.

"I'm glad your easing more into this life, Tyler. Never let this boy go, friendship is something to be valued." She explained more seriously. He nodded, thoughts of Jenna not occupying his mind anymore.

Jenna didn't come back when they were talking about her strange arrival, she did however, ease drop when they talked about this...neighbor of there's. She wasn't an idiot and saw the way Tyler lit up at the mention of it. She knew what she had to do, she just had to keep playing sweet.

Josh couldn't get last night out of his mind. It was just friendly cuddling but it was the whole gesture of Tyler caring about him that made his head fuzzy. He sunk deeper in the tub of pink-colored bath water, sighing in relaxation. He decided to take today as a day for taking care of himself, to release all that was needed to be released.

He tried to clear his mind but a certain brunette with tired eyes occupied his mind. He had such a magnetic energy to Josh that he simply couldn't pull away from him easily. He could still feel the light touch from his hands, it was warm but it he could feel the uncertainty of it, he could tell Tyler wasn't used to it, but in a way, it made his touch hold an innocence that Josh could just coo at, it's been a while since he felt such delicacy in something so small yet intimate.

Yet, the new of it all scared Josh, deep down he still wasn't sure if he could trust Tyler. Or anyone else at that matter. He still felt dirty, like no one else would want him after being treated so messily. What if it went down the same path?

The idea of something fresh was scary, no one even knew that he had broken things off a few days ago. But then again, Josh was probably getting ahead of himself, someone like Tyler could never like someone like Josh. He didn't feel like he deserved such greatness. If only Josh knew that the angel could say the same thing, they both thought the other was too good for themselves.

Watching the small flowers float on his tub, Josh thought he's been in the water enough. He drained the tub and wrapped his favorite fluffy lilac robe around his delicate frame. He then proceeded to walk back into his room and threw on a pair of his favorite lace panties and black sweatpants, topped with the pale pink hoodie he was gifted from Tyler.

Feeling as though someone was watching him, he shifted his eyes to familiar coffee ones from across his house, to the next one with an open window revealing the boy Josh couldn't get his mind off. Tyler smiled sheepishly at him, waving kindly at him, Josh returned the smile and waved back, his heart fluttering in his chest.

"Tyler!" He heard a female voice yell from his house, soon after a girl with bright blue eyes came in the room, sitting on the angels lap. Jenna went to look over at the sight Tyler had his eyes on earlier and her eyes met with Josh's. The candy flossed boy turned away, a cold chill running up his spine from meeting his eyes with the unknown girl.

He quickly closed the blinds of his windows, not wanting to see anything more between the two. Of course he had a girlfriend. Josh knew it was silly to ever think about having a chance with him. He chuckled to himself humorlessly, his heart not wanting to accept defeat. He laid back on his bed, the relaxing feeling long gone, and the familiar feeling of loneliness settling in. His mind now kept shifting to the cold blue eyes of the girl next door, he didn't know her, but he sure didn't like her. Not one bit.
