Wrong Number - A Josh Richards Fanfic

It's time

Maddie's POV: 

I've now been in LA for 3 weeks and my flight back is today. It's all gone by so fast with hanging out with all my best friends, visiting the Hype House, and best of all being with Josh. We haven't fought at all and everyone has been extremely supportive of our relationship, including Charli. Me and Noen are sort of talking again, but it's still sort of awkward knowing he likes me now. Kio and I have gotten really close over the past two weeks, staying up late together and many times comforting each other. Me and Jaden have been pulling a ton of pranks on everyone so it's hilarious, especially when they're on Bryce because he lowkey hates us all for some reason. Me and Ant have been basically glued together from about 11 am to 4 pm everyday, he's basically my actual brother now. Me and all the girls have gone out 4 times, just us, and all of us are basically now depressed that I'm leaving. Me and Payton have been going on shopping sprees but only buying Pop-Tarts and then eating them all that day then heading back to the store the next. Me and Tony have seen each other 4 times since I came to the Sway House and he's one of the nicest people I know. He acted weird for a bit when he found out me and Josh were dating, but then warmed back up, being supportive of my love life or whatever that is called. Everyone loves everything I got them and I have to alternate what hoodies I wear on what days, but I wear all the bracelets and necklaces every day. Tony got me Hype House merch and it's pretty lit and me and Kio went to the mall so we could get something matching and we ended up getting matching skateboards because we both suck and both want to learn. And me and Josh... we've been getting closer by the minute. We've gone out at least I would say... 8 times, but I think more and I can already tell long-distance is going to be hard. 
But I think I might love this boy...
Wait no...
It's too soon...
Am I coming on too strong?
Oh of course, there are these thought to. My overthinking consuming my brain, eating me alive, and Josh would come calm me down and save me when I need it. Just on cue, he comes from behind me and wraps his arms around me from behind and I lean into his embrace, glad I have it, for now at least. 

"Joshy... I'm leaving today..." I say, sadly smiling. He returns it, just as sad. 

"I know baby. But I will visit you as much as I can and hopefully you will too." He says, letting go of me and starting to help me finish packing up. 

"So... when are we going to announce we're official to the fans?" I ask, trying to make conversation. 

"Um... let's wait a little. Y'know, they can be a little intense." He says, stating the truth. I sigh, knowing it's true, but just wanting to announce it already. I zip up my last suitcase and stand up, Josh not far behind. I hug him, knowing my flight is in about two hours. He hugs me back and points my chin up at him. He then kisses me and sparks fly like they do every time. I kiss back, it's a slow, sad, desperate kiss, our tears mingling together because of how sad we are leaving each other. After a while, we each grab one suitcase and I throw my backpack on and we walk downstairs to where everyone else is. Since everyone can't fit in the car, people are going to have to sit on laps. So Avani and Ant are sitting together, and me and Josh are sitting together. Payton, Addi, Mads, Jaden, and Charli all have their own seats, and Kio is driving. I start crying silently as we start moving, really upset because I'll have to be alone again. 

Time Skip, 45 Minutes Later:

We've just arrived at the airport and everyone except Jaden and Anthony is crying, as they are determined to stay stoic for us, but I can see pools of tears in the back of their eyes. I sigh as we all reach the security gates. They can't come any farther. I hug all the girls first, at once and here we are, all crying at the airport in a huge group hug. They all promise to see me soon and then pull back. Next, I hug Jaden. 

"Bye, big bro." I say, my voice cracking. He smiles down at me, sadly.

"Bye, lil sis. I'll miss you." He says, and with that, he pulls back trying to stay strong and not drag our goodbye on. Next I hug Ant, really tightly. Me and Ant have this way of communicating without words, so we just hug, not talk. When we pull apart, he nods at me and I nod back, turning to Kio. I hug him and he returns it. 

"Remember, Kio. Anytime. Whenever you need help. I'll always answer." I say as we cry together. 

"Of course. Same to you. I'll always be here." We pull apart and smile at each other. And last but not least, I turn to Josh. 

"Bye baby. We can FaceTime everyday. Ok?" He reassures me and I nod. 

"Yea... but I'm going to miss you so much. I-" Love you. 
But I can't say it. 
It's too soon. 
"Don't forget, please?" He nods.

"Of course not. We kiss one last time and I turn around and go through the security gates, refusing to look back at any of my best friends or my boyfriend, scared I might collapse into a pile of tears in the middle of the airport. I keep walking, through the line, farther and farther, every step bringing me closer to home, not turning back around once.
