~𝙝𝙞𝙢 & 𝙞~(a josh richards story)

he comes back

My eyes flutter open, the harsh sunlight blinding my eyes. I sit up and check my phone, it reads 10:00 am. I yawned and slowly get out of bed, I changed out of my pyjamas when I hear a knock on my door.

"Yeah? Come in!" I said as I tied my hair into a low ponytail. I turn over to see my mum standing at the doorway.

"Honey, Quinton is downstairs. He's here to pick you up?" she said to me. I nodded and quickly slipped on my shoes and run to the bathroom to freshen up, I then walk downstairs to see my best friend standing there with his hands in his pockets.

"Hey bestie" he smirked.

"Hi" I sighed as we walked out the front door.

"How are you?" he asked as we walked to his car. I looked over at him, as he unlocked the car door. 

"I am good I guess, Josh still hasn't contacted me" I sighed as I looked out the car window. Yes, I and Josh were still in a relationship but recently a cheating scandal about Josh was going around and I tried to contact him but he never replied. He hasn't texted or called me for at least 4 months, and I am already in the middle of senior year and I am honestly thought we would last. Ever since that happened, I haven't been normal me.

"Hey, he's coming back," Quinton said to me.

"When?" I asked with curiosity. 

"Tonight," he said. I nodded as he drove. So far this year, I have been mainly studying till my brain was on the brink of falling apart and only hanging out with Avani, Nessa and Quinton. Mads and Olivia didn't hang out with us anymore, they got drifted away with their final year of cheer but they did still talk to us. And Anthony, Kio and Jaden were still at college but are coming back soon.

"Things have changed since they left," I said to Quinton as I turned the radio on.

"Yeah, but people drift apart just remember that" answered Quinton. I nodded and stared at the road in front of until the rest of the ride. Eventually, the car stops, Quinton unlocks the doors and we both get out.

"Hey girl," says Nessa as she gives me a small smile.

"Hey," I said as I put on a fake smile. Nessa rubs my back as we both walk into her house, and I see Avani sitting on the couch.

"You okay?" asked Avani as she patted the seat next to her. I shook my head and leaned my head on her shoulder, as tears rolled down my cheeks. Nessa sits next to me holds both my hands as Quinton stands in front of me.

"Hey, I doubt he cheated. He loved you way too much" said Avani as I looked at her.

"But..." I begin but I stop as I see him at the doorway. His hair all messy, he's wearing a black jumper and grey sweatpants. His eyes lock with mine as he stops and stares at me.

"Josh?" says Quinton. Josh walks in but Quinton walks him out and they close the door behind him. 

"Why is he here so early?" questioned Avani as she walks into the kitchen. Quinton soon entered the house again and closed the door behind him, I look up to see him.

"He wants to talk?" Quinton said to me. I nodded, I slowly stood up and took a deep breathe in and walked out of the house. When I close the front door, Josh is standing there on the front lawn. 

"Hi," he said.

"Hi" I replied as I stood in front of him. He ruffled his hair and looked at me.

"Sorry, we had to see each other like this" apologised Josh. I shook my head and took a deep breathe in.

"Did you actually cheat?" I asked him. He scratches the back of his neck and looks at me.

"No I didn't y/n" he replied. I sighed.

"Then how did that rumour go around?" I asked him. 

"I was at a party with my friends and some of the girls recognised me from Tiktok and they started to pull their phones out and one girl pushed me onto chair and leaned in to kiss me but I pushed her away. But they cut the video and didn't put the part where I pushed her away" he explained. I nodded and processed all the information he has told me. I ran my fingers through my hair and I see Josh taking some steps closer to me. His fingers meet my face and I hold his hand as he tucks a piece of loose hair behind my ear.

"I missed you girlie" he smirks as traces the edges of my lips. I step back a bit so we are no longer connected.

"Why didn't you text me? What happened to call each other every night and skyping?" I asked him angrily. He looks behind him, expecting someone to be there and meets my eyes again.

"I was scared okay? I know you probably would have known, and I was scared to face you!" he said to me.

"I AM YOUR GIRLFRIEND! I AM THE ONE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO COME TO ME AND YOU KNOW THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN MAD IF YOU WOULD HAVE AT LEAST TEXTED IN THOSE 4 MONTHS! I WAS SO MISERABLE AND I WASN'T MYSELF, NOT HEARING FROM YOU IT WAS LIKE A PART OF ME WAS GONE!" I shouted at him as my hands met with my face as new tears streamed down my face.

"I AM SORRY OKAY?" he shouted back as he walked in small circles.

"Josh, I have forgiven you once. I want to again, but I was in so much pain" I cried as I told him. 

"Y/n, I know you must have been sad but look I didn't want to face you," said Josh as he stepped closer.

"Well the damage is done, I'll see you later" I huffed as I started to walk back to the house but stopped by Josh, his hand wrapped around mine.

"Are we done?" he asked me. I stopped and turned around to meet his eyes.

"I don't know" I sighed as I pulled away and walked back into the house.
