Fffffd
Connor and Joseph had that special type of bond. It wasn't like The Fault in Our Stars or Romeo and Juliet, but it did have something in common with those. No, dont jump to conclusions like death or sickness or poisoning. There was misunderstanding and heartache. Longing and loving. Times of arguing and dispute and confusion. And no i'm not just using a bunch of adjectives.

Julie's POV

"Of course I feel bad! Ally, look it's that time of the year for people to get asked to Homecoming! And I don't mind if i dont get a date! All i really care for at this point is Joseph getting one! You know, a nice cute boy, who would love him for him and they would be cute and everything!"

"Well... Then why don't we just find him a boy? How hard could that be?"

"I know that we could just find a really nice guy for Joseph, but I want it to be a guy that would stick around with him. Like they would be together and be happy and tell eachother everything. Not just a guy that would go to a dance with him, or go on a date with him and leave. One that would go to all the dances with him, one that would go on multiple dates with him because he likes him being in his company and just... ya know, love him."

"Aww. Julie. You seriously want Joseph to find someone huh?"

"I really do. Seeing Joseph happy is one of the things i want most in this world. A guy that would accept him, understand him, love his flaws, all of that. All those times in middle school that he and I would talk to eachother about what we would want a boyfriend to for for each of us, all that cute stuff. All that cute stuff that i imagined for Joseph, I want that to come true."

"Well, another problem. Homecoming is in mid-September, and it's the beginning of August... A month. Where could we possibly find a guy that fits what you want for Joseph in such a short time? I'm sorry but what you're asking for is the type of thing that could only happen in a fanfiction."

Ally faced me, seriously.

"You know better than anyone to get to know someone really well before you start to want to get into anything with them besides regular friends."

Ally stopped me this time, very serious, making me go back a bit. What she said was true, I had gone through too much heartache and break, and sadness with guys to like anyone anymore. Maybe that's the reason why I want the best, and only the best for all my friends. Especially Joseph. Because I don't want any of them to go through what I went through.

Then Ally made us continue walking to school, since we were walking from Starbucks to there. A ten minute walk enables you to talk a good amount about something.

"Then again.. You have been able to get the girls some good boyfriends. Including my boyfriend, if i may include."

I had set up Ally with my friend Drew, they just seemed great for eachother. They've been together for about 7 months now- honestly, i'm so proud that I was able to find Ally a Canadian boy, the type she always wanted. It just happened that he was Canadian - total coincidence. Ive matched 5 of my friends with guys, but Ally and Drew is the one i'm most proud of. Aaaaaanyways.

"But a month? All those guys I've known for a year or more! What do I do, Ally? I'd feel bad if Joseph went to homecoming with me again. I want him to have that cute homecoming picture with a boy."

I am seriosuly stressed out about this.

"Julie. We'll figure it out. We always do!"

We then stepped past the side enterence of the school. Not ready to face the damn day.
