Wrong Number - A Josh Richards Fanfic

Just friends.

Maddie's POV:

"Yea, bye Kio! See you later!" I say after 3 hours of straight video games. I stand up, stretching my back. He nods dismissively and I chuckle and walk out, deciding to head across the hall to Josh's room. I knock. 

"COME IN!" He yells and I enter, seeing him flopped down on the bed scrolling through his phone. I laugh and flop down next to him, but not close enough where we're touching. He feels my weight indent on the bed and he turns to me, smiling warmly. "Hey Mads! Fancy seeing you here!" 

"I live here now loser." I state plainly and his smile turns goofy. 

"Rude!" He exclaims and I laugh. We lock eyes and I quickly turn the other way, feeling sort of uncomfortable. Something about him is drawing me in, making me gravitate towards him, making me want to be with him. I guess my feelings will never truly go away. I find his fingertips stretching out to mine, locking our fingers together. I don't pull away. 
Friends do this right...?
I hear him let out an audible sigh of relief and I giggle a little. I turn back to him and surprisingly find his face only a few inches away from mine. I don't cower back, even though my anxiety was getting to my head. 

We continue to stare into each others eyes, and in what seems like a lifetime, he leans in. I stay statue still, but his lips meet mine anyways. I stay still, completely shocked, before kissing back. It's slow and unsure at first, but I feel both our hesitation melt away. Soon, it's more sloppy and desperate, and that's when I come to my senses. 
I'm kissing Josh Richards.
I pull back so fast, I might have gotten whiplash. I unlock our fingers and stand up, confusion etched all over his features. 

"Mads, I-" He starts but I shake my head and he falls silent. 

"Just don't." I say, turning around and staring at the wall to re-collect my thoughts.
I just kissed Josh Richards. 
I just KISSED Josh Richards! 
I turn around abruptly surprising both of us. 

"WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT JOSH?" I yell and Josh jumps, startled. His eyes widen. "WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU JUST KISS ME? I SAID THAT'S NOT WHAT I WANT TO DO! WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE 'JUST FRIENDS' AND YOU GO AND KISS ME?" I'm even shocking myself, confused where this burst of anger came from because frankly, I enjoyed the kiss. 

"Mads, we can talk about thi-" He starts but I interrupt again.

"NO WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT! I JUST NEED YOU TO UNDERSTAND IT CAN'T HAPPEN UNTIL WE'RE DONE BEING 'JUST FRIENDS'!" Then my eyes well up and I see the pain in his eyes. I bring my hand to cover my mouth and start sobbing. "We're sup-supposed to b-be Ju-just friends..." I whisper, crumpling to the floor. "J-just friends. Nothing m-more. Wh-why? I... just f-friends. No-not together." I whisper hugging my knees to my chest, trying to reassure myself more than him. I hear him standing up and gingerly walking over. I hear him sitting down on the floor next to me and placing a hand on my back I tense up and he pulls back, slightly hesitant. Then he reluctantly wraps his arm around me, pulling me closer. I don't tense up this time, it slightly relaxes me. I allow it to happen, putting my head on his shoulder and sobbing more freely. This goes on for a second before he lifts my head up, making me face him. I look into his eyes as he scans my face with a searching look, as if asking for consent. I nod, just the very slightest, and he gives me a small smile. 

"Yes, but would 'just friends' do this?" He asks, and with that, he kisses me, square on the lips. When he pulls back, I hiccup and laugh a little. 

"No, I guess not..." I say and he smiles. This brings a whole new round of sobs and I lean into his chest, starting to cry harder right there. But if he cares, he shows no notice. He just pulls me closer and wraps his arms around me. 

"It'll be okay, Mads." He whispers in my ear.
