Josh's pov

Oli is doing good, from what I've observed and have heard from Matty and Jordan. I don't know what he talks about but I've been told he's been opening up and talking about stuff. Not in group but that's expected.

"Vic?" I ask and he looks up from his notebook. He's been writing songs lately.

"Yeah?" He asks and I pout a little. It's been three days since Oli touched me and that hasn't happened since. Not because of any real reason it's just been sweet with him and he's really understanding that I dont want to get too sexual.

I want to tell Vic about him touching me but I dont want to embarrass myself more. "Do I look okay?" I ask and he laughs a little.

"Of course, how are things with oli?" He asks because he cares, not for gossip. I blush thinking about how Oli is being really sweet to me and how he touched me..

"He's doing good I think, and.. we've kissed more," I say and he nods. I dont think I'm going to tell him about the thing that happened in between us.

I look in the mirror again and look at my outfit.

I have while ripped skinny jeans and a light pink sweater that has white stripes and thin black stripes

I have while ripped skinny jeans and a light pink sweater that has white stripes and thin black stripes. I almost have my mom's thin silver necklace on.

"Is Loverboy keeping his hands to himself?" Vic asks and I blush. He's usually constantly touching me like holding me or holding my hand.

"Byee, ill see you tonight," I say and leave the room before he can laugh at me or ask how he's been touching me. When I turn the corner I almost run into Ronnie.

We both take a step back because we are so close. "Hey josh, have you heard from Oli? He wont answer any of my texts or calls," he says worried.

"Oh, yeah, um.. he taking a break from his phone but in Friday he should have it back but it might be the next Friday," I say and he gives me a stranger look.

"I'll tell him you said hi, but I gotta go," I say because I'm bad at lying. He nods and I skipped away.

Oli is talking to Awsten when I walk in to the lounge. Andy is probably in his room or the art room. He avoids Oli at all costs. I want to know what happened in between them.

I go over to the two and Oli sees me first and smiles. That's something that has been happening lately. Oli actually smiling when he sees me. He doesn't share about his feelings or what's going on to me but I dont mind. He's opening up to his therapist so that's a start.

His medicine seems to put him in a better mood too. Like now he's actually awake. Before he was so groggy and asleep even when he was awake.  "Hey Joshie," Oli says and I sit next to him across from Awsten.

"Hi oli. Hi Awsten," I say and Oli interlocks out fingers. My heart flutters and I feel my lips twist up a little.

"Hi josh," Awsten says clenching his hand a few times. "I have a bomb!" He yells and nobody even looks over. This is normal.

"Ugh, it's been like this all morning," he mumbles and then kicks Oliver's leg under the table on accident. Oli turns and then grabs my legs and put the on his lap. Awww he doesn't want Awsten to accidentally kick me.

"Its okay, maybe I can talk to someone and get different medicine?" I ask.

"Yes please, I hate this," he says. "Bitch," he adds under his breath. "Sorry," he says.

"Dont apologized," I say and get up. "I'll be back, I need to check on something and I'll see if anyone will listen to me about the different medicine thing," I say and Oli grabs my hips and stops me from leaving. He tilts his head up and I can see he wants a kiss.

I blush and look around. Nobodys looking. I bend down and kiss his lips briefly and smile as I back away. "I'll be back," I say and he smile.

"Be fast, I miss you," he says. I giggle and then turn away and hide my blush. I walk away and into the other room and down a hallway until I get to the art room.

Andy is indeed there drawing batman. "Hey Andy? I have a question," I say and sit down across from him. He looks up and clicks his pen a few times.

"What?" He says and I bite my bottom lip. I'm nervous to know why he's avoiding oli and why did Oli get so quiet after seeing him yesterday.

"What's the deal with you and Oli?" I ask and he looks away for a second. He's nervous too. Andy is shy I hope he tells me.

"Um.. I dont think Oli would want you to know.. have you asked him?"

"No, I didn't want to annoying him or anything. Or seem like I'm jealous," I mumble.

"Well.. to sum it up without sharing to much: I fucked up because someone drugged me and then that really fucked with our relationship.. so he hates me but its okay. I deserve it," he says and I frown. I dont know what he did but if he was drugged it wasn't completely his fault

"Okay.. um, thanks. I have to go but try to forgive yourself and maybe apologize to Oli.." I say and he nods a little.
