sorry I took a while for this update! I was busy this week for finals and stuff but enjoy <3!

yua stands in front of you with a weird look as you give joshua a last text for the moment. she says, "you are really into this guy. you're starting to forget jay."

you look up with a glare and said, "what did he tell you?" yua sighs and said, "you ditched him the night you went with that dude!"

you shook your head and said, "no, if I went he probably would've been there to show off his guitar skills and his flirtation skills with other girls, I'm okay."

"well jay told me he wanted to hang out soon. he said he feels betrayed."

you remembered telling one of your guy friends the confession that ruined your friendship. in which he started acting like a dick and you just swallowed all of it in. he was someone who's cool, he was in a band and he seemed like someone you liked. you ended up telling him and instead of kindly rejecting you- he simply said, "you're not my type, y/n, and I only see you as a friend."

simply enough, you handled it pretty okay besides the fact he is insensitive to invite pretty girls over during your little hang outs.

yua looks down at your phone that started ringing and it was jay, "speak of the devil." she laughs, as you answered the phone.

"hey jay," you spoke out.

you can hear his douchy voice through your phone. "Hey babe, you miss me?"

"Shut up, what happened?" You asked getting tired at his numerous amount of flirty comments. jay laughed and said, "you didn't come to my get together, I'm having one tomorrow. You should come."

"uh," you remembered that you have a little movie get together with josh tomorrow night so you explain, "I have something to do with someone so I am not sure I can come."

yua sighed and shook her head and jay says in disbelief, "cmon y/n, you're not fun."

in fact, you don't really want to go to his dumb house parties. it's just several underaged kids who drink and do each other in the restrooms. jay being the way he is, flirts with you, makes out with you, and it ends up being the biggest regret of your life.

"I'll see," you said.

[!] (joshypoo): new message

you ended the conversation with him being mad about you and being sorta mean. you didn't mean to be but at the same time he was annoying your existence.

you ended the call briefly that made him hella confused. you were talking to josh about something interesting and yet you didn't wanna get rid of a perfectly good conversation. that was just stupidity.

he made you laugh a lot and to be honest it was nice. it was like having a brother you never had. your so called "date" ended up being one of your close friends. who would've thought.

yua soon ended up leaving after lunch with y/n. she had some plans with their friend group but y/n had plans with someone else. yua is find, and selfless so she'd rather see her best friend getting some than to mope around looking through Instagram.

it's not that y/n is selfish and doesn't enjoy time with her friends, sometimes they do things she just doesn't stand for. she is also the one who's usually sober for everything so she'd rather stay home. there's some occasions where y/n agrees to go.

a few hours later, josh arrives at the residence with a couple of snacks and some fried chicken. he knocks on the door and you opened the door. with excitement you grab all the food in his hand.

the two sat on the floor of your room with a movie playing in the background. she handed him a twenty as he took a bite of the chicken leg. with his mouth full he shook his head to deny any money.

y/n sighed and put it on his pocket. he swallowed half of the food in his mouth and put the other food in his cheek.

he said, "y/n, I said it's my treat."

she furrowed her eyebrows and said, "josh, you bought the stuff last time, It's my treat today!"

he frowned and you stuck your tongue at him. you grabbed a chicken thigh at took a bite of it, your phone received a notification and it's from jay.

ja(y)ceeeee
pleadse come tmemw

i misshh u

he was obviously drunk. josh innocently looked over your phone and said, "who's that?" you sighed and said, "some dumb guy."

josh looked at you in disbelief, "oh? you like him?"

you grinned and said, "a little, I mean i don't know. we had like a little thing going on but he doesn't like me or whatever."

josh frowned and said, "so I guess we are the same?"

you shook your head and said, "no mr bassett, we are different." the two of you laughed as you ate another chicken wing.

as you finish your last chicken wing you say, "how about you joining me to a party tomorrow?"

josh smiled and said, "I love parties."
