Doctor, Doctor (A Joult and Joshifer Story)

Chapter 9

*PRESENT*

Does that mean he's coming back and my parents aren't? Or vice versa? I'm so confused. I can't handle this on my own. I'm not just talking about the cancer thing. I can't talk to my parents about Nick and I can't talk to Nick about Nick. I don't have that many friends that I trust. But, there is one person... That I never thought I would call again. One person that since we were six was my best friend. That for two years was my other half. That made me drown in pools of my own tears because he had to leave.

I pull out my phone and dial his number. He answers on the first ring.

He said he will be here in five minutes. I don't know why but I'm nervous. The last time I saw him was when he left. What is he going to say? Will he listen to me? Will he help me? Can I trust him? I don't understand why all these questions are popping up in my head. Of course I can trust him. I've know him ever since I was born. Sure we haven't talked in a few months but he's still the same right? He has to be?

As soon as I finish second-guessing myself, there's a knock on the door.

"Come in," I crock.

Nick opens the door and let's him in. Nick shuts the door, and out of the corner of my eye I see Nick walk away... Again.

"Hey Jen," he says walking over to the edge of my bed.

I smile and force myself to sit up. The pain is excruciating but I push it away. I'll tell him about that later right now I need help with something else. "Hey Josh."

"What'd you do that made you come here?" He says chuckling and looking around.

"Never mind that," I say waving my hand. "I need to talk to you about something else."

"That would be why you called me here right?" He says smirking.

I smile than end up laughing. Josh always know how to make me smile. That's one thing he never fails at. "Correct. Now sit down." I move over and pat the spot in the bed next to me.

He doesn't hesitate. He sits right down and put his arm around me.

I look at him.

"Sorry," he says moving his arm.

"No it's okay," I smile. "I don't mind."

He laughs then puts his arm back around me. I wrap my arms around him and lean my head on his shoulder. This. This seems so familiar. So right. That all that just happened between Me and Nick, vanishes from my head. The questions that flew through my head when he rested his hand on my thigh, are now out of the picture. Only now did I realize this, because Josh's arms are around me.

"What did you wanna talk about?" Josh says pulling me closer to him.

"My parents," I breath. I wrap my arms tighter around him.

He lifts his head up and looks me in the eye. "What about them?"

"Well," I say turning my head so I can look him in the eye. "In order to tell you that, I have to tell you everything that has happened today. Starting with when I got here."

"You came here just today?"

I nod in response.

He half smiles then positions himself so he can look me in the eye, and still hold me, while I talk.

I explain the whole thing to him. About Nick and Doctor Suvil. About the Cancer. About my parents leaving. About mine and Nicks little fight. I leave out the part about all the questions that when through my head when he touched me only because those don't matter now. Josh nods and gasps and asks questions all at the right times.

"So how do you feel about Nick being your doctor?" He asks.

"Aggravated, Mad, Lonely, I don't know. I didn't and still don't what to think. He says that he's trustworthy and that I can trust him but... I don't know. I know that I couldn't talk to my parents about this so..." I trail off.

"So you called me." Josh finishes.

I nod.

"Do you still have feelings for him?" Josh asks. I can hear the hint of sadness in his voice but I don't mention it.

"No... I mean... I don't think so." I sigh and a few tears roll down my cheeks.

"Hey, don't cry," Josh says wiping the tears off my face and pulling me closer to him so now I'm actually sitting on his lap.

"I'm still in love with you Josh!" I blurt out. Then I quickly bury my face in his chest and begin to cry again.

"I still love you too, Jen," he whispers in my ear then begins rubbing my back.
