How to Save a Life | Joshifer

Chapter 11: In Three Minutes

The next morning I get up early and watch cartoons. Who can go wrong with those. Woody rushes yet again to work and doesn't really bother to say goodbye. Whatever, I don't need him anyways.

Josh...Damn I didn't want to think about him. But it seems impossible. Maybe I am just thinking I'm falling for him. It's probably just my head talking. Like my junior year of highschool. When I thought I was in love with Liam Hemsworth. This completely out of my league guy. He was a football player and a player. I was the girl that quite and orchestra. The odds of us ever being together was a -52. But the day he talked to me all period in english. I thought he was perfect. But this is different.

Josh is different. He actually wants to talk to me. He puts up with my random antics. He doesn't criticize me. He actually cares about my talents and my family. He makes me feel important.

A door at the door takes me out of my trance. I walk over and open the door. Arms embrace me.

"Hey!" Josh says. Avan maneuvers around us and walks into the kitchen. He lets go of me and closes the door.

"We got bored at my house." Josh takes my hand drags me to the kitchen. Avan makes himself a huge sandwich. Josh digs threw the fridge. 

"What you guys never ate before?" I joke.

"My mom has gone into this healthy stage where my whole fridge is full of vegetables and tofu. It's really disgusting. I haven't seen Connor at dinner for two days now." He stuffs his mouth with Coco Puffs. I giggle.

"OMG! JOSH! your arm!" I yell grabbing his arm where the cast used to be and is no longer.

"Yeah, I got it off early this morning. I said thursday." He laughs at my shocked expression.

"It's Thursday? Damn I'm losing track of time." I say thinking.

"You know what that means Joshy!" Avan says nudging Josh.

"Avan! NO" Josh says serious but it doesn't get threw to Avan at all.

"Party, Party Party!" Avan repeats marching around the island in the kitchen. 

"Count me in!" I say following Avan in the march.

"Don't encourage him Jen!" He says laughing at us but is furious in the inside. Josh grabs my arm and pulls me into him. My left hand on his chest and my eyes locked into his. This moment I knew what I was feeling. I was falling for Josh. Just his touch made me tense. 

"Well look at you love birds!" Avan says, still prancing around the kitchen. Josh smirks and lets go of my hand. I'll never recover if I fall for Josh.

"No, no wait! Let me play some music." Avan says.

"Is he going to play some LMFAO? I can't shuffle." I say. Josh laughs with me. Avan comes back with my guitar. He starts to play a simple melody, He obviously knows how to play. It was slow and touching. I raise one eyebrow and turn to look at Josh. He extends his newly recovered hand. I place my hand on top and he pulls me in. We start to dance. All around us, I don't see anyone not even Avan. It's just Josh and me. Looking into each other's eyes.

The bad thing about dancing is that I don't know how. Josh knows exactly how to move and where to go. And for me, it's like a test in math. I know nothing. After awhile of me looking down at my feet, Josh whispers, "Stand on my feet." I didn't get it at first. Then I place my purple socks on his shoes. It actually felt like I knew how though I didn't. Avan ends the song. I hop off of Josh's feet and am super dizzy. 

"See love birds!" Avan says placing my guitar down. He walks over the Josh and starts to slow dance with him. Avan hums tunes that are exaggerated. Josh looks completely confused and I laugh.
