Interrupted.(A Josh Hutcherson Fanfiction)

Chapter 11

Dedicated to @JoshuaRyanLove for the lovely comment on the A/N <3

Julia's POV

I hate that we left Josh there alone all night when he is sick. I hate how selfless he is sometimes, I mean it's not like any of us are gonna sleep any way knowing he's alone!

"I can't believe we left him" Michele says "I mean what kind of mother am I leaving my son at the hosp-"

"Honey." Chris interrupts her "your a great mother to both of our kids. And it's Josh, you know how he is, you couldn't have persuaded him any other way."

I sigh and walk out of the living room where I was watching Michele and Chris and walk upstairs going to my room.

Before I even realize what I'm doing I walk into Josh's room. my nose fills with his smell that I've gotten use to over the years of fresh pine and mint.

I go over to the left wall that has nothing on it but his many shelves of just his snap-back hats and pictures.

I carefully run my hand alone some of the brims remembering when he bought a lot of these and how he would always show them to me an tall me the story of why and when he bought it. he always get so excited over something so little. I chuckle thinking about it.

I hear the door open and I quickly turn to see who it is

"Conner, what are you doing in here?" His eyes are puffy and almost look like he's been crying?

"N-Nothing just um looking for my sweatshirt" he rubs the back of his neck awkwardly

"Are you okay Con, you look like you've been crying?" I walk over I him

"What? No, I'm fine"

I give him a "seriously" look

"Uhg no I'm not fine" he moves away from me, goes and sits on the end of Joshua's bed. he runs his hand through his hair

"Well, what's wrong" I sit next to him

"Its just everything is wrong right now! Josh is in the hospital and doesn't want us there, everyone in school hates me-"

"Wo wo what do you mean everyone in school hates you?"

"Exactly that Everyone hates me!" He exclaims

"Well that's not true-"

"Yes it is. Alex uses me for test answers and beats me up and all the guys just go alone with it and act like him and all the girls think I'm a defenseless loser!"

"Well maybe you just need to stand up to this kid Alex, don't let push you around." I advise him

"I've tried that and it only makes it worse" he sighs. I see his black eye and think of something

"He hit you right"

"Oh really we're gonna bring that up again"

"No I mean he hit you so hit him back"

"What" he looks at me confused "there's no way I could do that he'd crush me"

"Why? Don't take his crap hit him I fact hit him first" I say standing up

"Okay, now your just scaring me. do you need to hit something?"

I chuckle "no no I'm just mad this kid has no right to hit you!"

"Yah but I don't think retaliation is the best option"

Suddenly I realize how insane I sound. I just advised a teenage boy to hit someone!
