You are the Music in Me

Chapter 15: Lovely/ A Song I Wrote For You

Josh: *I pull out and head for the airport and pick up my mom* (Here's the conversation in the car)
Mom: So how are u doing Joshy?
Josh: I'm good everyone seems so nice and they are all so talented.
Mom: That's good to hear. And what about the girl playing Nini. Olivia I think right?
Josh: Yes Olivia. And ya she's so sweet but she's going through a tough time right now and I've been treating her to things and driving her places and I love hanging out with her.
Mom: Sounds like my Joshy's got a crush.
Josh: Wow mommm don't be weird. But she is so sweet and the absolute cutest person- not like that I mean um. I mean that she's does cute things like writes songs which was really good by the way.
Mom: mmmm Okay
Josh: *my face turns red* That reminds me. Caroline texted me wanting me back and I didn't know how to feel because I really liked her.
Mom: and u said no bc of Olivia...
Josh: Maybe. I just don't wanna do anything or ask her out or anything because she just got out of a relationship like 2 days ago. I'm gonna wait - shes needs time and I think I do too.
Mom: Alright Joshy. But you better keep me updated.
Josh: Mmhm
*we get to my place and I help get her settled in and she goes to bed*
Josh: *I play on my piano and start to write a song* *I start an insta live and play the little song I came up with* *I sing "Lovely/ A song I wrote for you"*

Olivia: *I start to get ready for bed and scroll through insta and see that Josh started a live. I join and hear you singing and comment* I can't believe he's so talented guys. This is my best friend right here. *This is so good. I wonder who he's singing about.*
Josh: *I finish the song* So this goes out to my #1 best friend. She knows who she is - she's been going through a tough time lately and I just wanted her to know that I'm always gonna be here for her and I don't want her to go through what she's going through alone. I don't know if she's on this live or not but I really hope she hears this. If not from me then from people she cares about.
Olivia: *I tear up* *He's so sweet.* *I accidentally exit the live and see that Ethan posted something on his story. I try to go and block him but accidentally view it*
Ethan: *on his story* me and ex (now) are no longer together. So I don't wanna hear anything about it. I'm just glad I got out of that toxic relationship before I became toxic to.
Olivia: *I start to cry. I screen shot the story and send it to Josh.*
Olivia: *texts Josh* I just I can't escape this can I?
Josh: *I see a notification from you* I gotta go you guys. Thanks for joining my live!! *I open your text and read it. I FaceTime you.*
Olivia: *I pick up* I don't know what to do anymore Josh.
Josh: *I start to tear up* Olivia you don't deserve this. Your so much better then him. Your so much better then everyone.
I can't imagine not having you in my life.
Your loved my your friends, your family, and your best friend. Ethan is the toxic one and I wanna punch him in the face.
Olivia: Can you do that for me please Joshy. You are so freaking amazing. I don't know what I'd do without you. I just feel so scared and I feel so alone. I- you just got to see your mom and now I am just crying over some douche and I- I just don't want to cry like a loser alone, but that's reality for you.
Josh: What do you mean?
Olivia: I just feel like I'm always here making your life miserable with my problems and making you be by my side 24/7 and I feel like a jerk.
Josh: Olivia Isabel Rodrigo... I would rather you tell me eveything upsetting you then us living just a happy little friendship without the truth. I want to be there for you. More then anything else. Because your special and deserve the world.
Olivia: I just- your so amazing Joshua. I can't even put words together to describe your kindness. Your heart is constantly putting out love for other people and you always are there when needed. So you deserve the sun, the moon, the stars, and the whole universe. You are incredible and the most perfect best friend I could ask for.
Josh: *I tear up and have the biggest grin on my face*
Olivia: I never knew how much one person could mean to someone until I met you. You continue to amaze me every second I'm around you. I'm calling it right now. Best person on earth award goes to Joshua Bassett.
Josh: I don't know. I think I know someone who fits that title better and she's talking to me right now.
Olivia: awww you really are the best.
Josh: *I smile*
*we stay up talking until 3:00a.m. going back and forth on who is the better one*
Olivia: I'm a little tired Joshy so if I fall asleep I just wanted to say this: I can't believe you are in my life and what a significant difference you have made. I wanted to thank you for being you and everything you do for me. You are the best. I love y- *I get that much out before i fall asleep and leave you there.*
Josh: *I see u sleeping through the phone* *I really hope she ment that in a friend way... well actually no... I hope she ment it like actually.... ahhh I'm so confused*
Josh: *I end the call*
*my mom walks in*
Josh: Mom. Your up?
Mom: *Yawns* Yeah, you two are so loud.
Josh: Oh my gosh I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you.
Mom: It's alright. But I was listening to you guys talk and you guys are so cute.
Josh: Mommmmm were you listening to what we were talking about?
Mom: Not really. I just kept hearing you laugh. And I know you... that laugh only comes out when you really care about someone- it's your "love laugh"
Josh: MOM
Mom: Sorry I don't mean to be weird I just think your so sweet to her and it seems like she really cares for you too.
Josh: Mom, we are just friends.
Mom: Mkay Joshy *she says sarcastically* I'm gonna head to bed and you should too because you have your table read tomorrow.
Josh: I will mom. Love you. Good night.
Mom: Good night Joshy
Josh: *I go to bed and I fall asleep*
