--Lydia's POV--
Ring! Ring!

The piercing noise woke me up from my sleep.

"Hello?" I answered not checking who it was.

"Hey babe." Geoffrey says.

"Oh hey." I said.

"What's up?" He asked.

"Oh I just woke up." I said sitting up in my bed.

"Oh, did I wake you up?" He asked.

"Oh no. I was up but I wasn't out of bed." I lied.

"Oh okay, do you want to do something today?" He asks innocently.

"Of course. What were you thinking?" I asked.

"Lunch. Noon." He simply replied.

"Ok then. You picking me up?" I asked.

"No, you're picking me up." He said sarcastically.

"Oh shut up." I groaned.

He chuckled, "So noon?"

"Yeah that sounds fine." I smiled.

"Okay, see you then." He said.

"Alrighty, see you then. " I said.

"I love you."

"Love you to." I then hung up the phone.

I set down my phone and check the time,

9:00 a.m

That should be enough time. I got out if bed not caring what I looked like at the moment. I headed down stairs and sat the counter.

"Well good morning." My dad greeted me.

"Hi." I uttered back.

"How'd you sleep?" He asked.

"Fine, you?" I said.

"Good." He smiled.

"What's for breakfast?" I asked.

"What would you like?" He asked right back.

"Uh toast is fine." I shrug my shoulders.

"Here let me make it." Josh pops in the kitchen.

"That's very kind Mr. Hutcherson." My dad replies.

"Oh please dad, he's not the president." I roll my eyes.

"She's right sir, Josh is perfectly fine." Josh says.

"Alright, Josh." My dad says and walks out of the kitchen.

"How'd you sleep Mr. Hutcherson." I asked, mocking my dad.

"Fine thank you." He chuckled.

"Well you're gonna have to find something to do this afternoon." I said.

"Huh, why's that?" He asks.

"Because I'm going on a date." I said.

His facial expression dropped, he was no longer happy. He seemed more depressed.

"Oh okay." He muttered.

Everything was quite. Josh wouldn't even look at me. He then handed me my toast and began to leave the kitchen.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"My room." He replied.

"Come sit by me." I said.

He turned and glanced at me. As if he was trying to make a decision. He let out a long sigh and finally began walking back to me. I smiled as I bit into my toast.

"So, when's your date?" Josh asked obviously uncomfortable.

"Noon." I replied.

He just nodded in response and sat quietly while I ate my toast. Then my phone buzzed,

'Can't wait 4 tonight :)~Geoffrey<3

I quickly replied.

'Me either~Lydia<3'

"Who was that?" Josh asked.

"Geoffrey." I said.

"Oh okay." He nods.

It got quite. Then out of nowhere Josh said,

"You must really like this guy."

"Yeah," I smiled, "He means a lot to me."

"Do you think you love him?" He asked.

And silence. But, that was a good question. Do I love Geoffrey? Is it just puppy love? No, of course no. I love him, right?

"Y-Yeah." I said a tad bit unsurely.

"You don't seem like it." He said but quickly added,

"I'm sorry. I'm being rude."

"No, no it's alright." I said.

I really didn't mind. But, now I'm confused. I don't know if I love Geoffrey. He's my boyfriend, I should love him. I say it to him all the time but do I ever mean it? I'm sure I do. Don't I?

I let out a long sigh and say,

"I'm gonna get dressed."

And I do exactly that.

*3 hours later*

"I look horrible!" I yell looking at my reflection.

Knock, knock

"Can I come in?" Josh asks.

"Sure." I groan and sit on the bed.

"Everything alright?" Josh asks opening my door.

"No, I can't find something to wear." I sound like a teenage brat.

Right now I'm wearing dark blue jeans, a purple crop top, and black flats but I feel stupid.

"You look fine. In fact, you look beautiful." Josh says.

"You think so?" I stood up trying not to blush.

"Yes, and if that Geoffrey guy can't see that he's an idiot, and blind." Josh said.

"Thanks Josh." I smiled and gave him a friendly hug.

Because we're friends, just friends.

But the hug lingered. We stood there, just hugging. Nothing more.

But, I don't let go,

I don't want to let go,

I have to let go.

And so I did
