Patience is a Virtue(Under MAJOR editing)

chapter 15

**josh POV**

so when I opened the door I was surprised to find crystal there giving me a smile right after her date with calvin. I didn’t think she moved that fast from person to person. But I didn’t mind that much. It gives me a chance to win her back.

So when she stayed and we put in a movie I couldn’t help it. I looked over at her halfway through  the movie and she was sleeping. She looks so peaceful when she sleeps unlike how she usually looks now. Its usually a pained look or a face smile look. I don’t even think she knows what shes doing. But I do.

So I chuckle to my self and go back to watching the movie. Little bit later she leans over and snuggles up against my side and I freeze. She hasent done that in like forever and if she is doing that in her sleep it means something. I look down and she is snuggling in her sleep up to me slightly smiling to herself. I smile out of that and her perfume and a now cookie scent overpowers me. I cant help but smiling again because of that.

** flashback**

“josh?”

“yes?”

“what do you think our future is going to be like?” she asks from me bringing out our hands that were melded together. We are in the same position but I am sitting and she is leaning against me holding my hand. I look down at her hair and answer.

“I don’t know. I hope its with you.”  I whisper.

She smiles and I feel that and I feel her body sigh.. She brings my hand up to her soft lips and kisses them holding there to her lips. “I hope so to. I don’t want to ever forget this.”

I sigh. “me either.”

“I wish this moment was this like forever. I don’t want to ever leave.”

I laugh at her. “I don’t either.”

She turns to me and there are small tears in her eyes. I sit up straiter worried.

“promise you wont give up on me. Ever?”

I wipe any tears that fell and look her in the eye. “Never.” And lean forward and kiss her soft pink lips. She responds and I taste her salty tears. I sigh when she pulls away and she buries her head in my chest.

“I hope not.”

**end of flashback**

**crystal POV**

I wake up in the dark and gasp. There is pain. Unbearable pain. There is a movement beside me.

“What’s wrong?”

I wince at it. Oh my god. Can’t focus on anything. Where am I?

“Crystal? You ok?”

I give a squeak of pain and tears come to my eyes.

There is panic in his voice this time. Its josh. “Crystal?!? What’s wrong?!”

 “My back.” I gasp out. There is a sigh and he looks around frantically.

“How do you fix it?”

“I don’t know.” I whisper out. I slowly put my hand on the spot and hiss out. God that hurts.

“Ok now calm down. I’m calling the doctors.” He states fast and starts dialing. I vaguely hear the rest but I am thinking to myself. I have low pain intolerance. This hurts.

“Ok? That’s it? Ok then. Thanks.” And he hangs up.

“So he said there isn’t much but to give you painkillers and let you sleep it off.

I whimper and look at him. “Can I have some then?”

He jumps up quickly and runs out of the room. I squeeze my eyes shut and next thing I know I am being told to take this and I swallow something whole and try to relax. He sits down next to me and puts his hand on my back massaging it softly. It eases up after awhile and I drift of to sleep with him softly singing in the background.

--------------------------------

I wake up with light shining in his room. I try to sit up but I am held down by something. I panic for the slightest second but see a hand drop. Must be josh. I listen and hear his soft breathing and look up ignoring the pain in my back. It has gone down considerably but it still hurts a bit. I position myself and sit up and he comes down to my lap. I look down to his face and stroke his hair out of his face. He looks… peaceful. Almost happy in his sleep. A small smile creeps onto my face looking at him. So I end up stroking his face and run my fingers over his lips. They move and I jerk them away sheepishly. He flutter his eyes open and they recognize where they are and he smiles sheepishly.

“sorry.”

I smile a genuine smile. “its ok. You were on top of me actually. You fell asleep against me actually.” His sheepish smile turns even bigger and he turns alittle pink at the cheeks. I laugh at him and poke them.

“Someone’s a little pink?”

“Shut up.” and he sits up.

there is silence and I remember something. “you know whats funny?”

he looks at me. “what?”

“I don’t get why my back was hurting so much. I mean I wasn’t having a nightmare at all.”

“what did you dream about?” he asks softly.

“us.”

He turns to me with a smile and starts to joke. “well I can see why. I am just that irrisistable.”

I chuckle at him and sit up also. All of the sudden my eyes go black and Im sucked into another memory

**flashback**

the sun shines through the window and onto the bed. its cold on me but the sun shines down warming me up along with another thing. I turn to him smiling and kiss his chest. He is completely bare. And so am I.

“good morning” he whispers and looks down. I meet up with his eyes with my own and stare into them. I cant help but stare into his warm brown eyes and his long black lashes that mix into them. I smile at him.

“good morning.”

**end of flashback**

I gasp and josh looks at me worriedly erasing any happiness that he once had.

“whats wrong?”

I look to him and see his features. His face has aged a bit since my memory showed me and there were worry marked all the way across his face.

“I- I have to go.” And I get up but wobble and he gets up and holds my waist and when my vision clears I look up and he is amused but still a bit worried.

“cant see?”

“I’m fine.” I snap and walk out quickly.

Why did I fall asleep? Other question. Why did I come to his house in the first place?
