This is my first Joshifer fic and i'm excited to start it! So review, as always, with anything you think, want or don't want to see xxx


I was a long way from home, finishing filming for a new movie. Don't get me wrong everyone was so nice and funny but I was lonely. I miss my best friend; I miss Josh. We texted constantly and called and skyped when we could but I would give anything to see his charming smile right in front of me and have his strong arms around me, unintentionally squeezing me a little too tight. I have never missed anyone this much before, it was strange, I was aching for his touch and I don't know why. I needed to hear his voice; I stretched my arm out of the covers that I was wrapped in on the hotel bed, I picked up my phone and shuffled to sit up against the headboard. I clicked onto his contact and called his number.

"If it isn't award winning Jennifer Lawrence! What is a superstar like you calling someone boring like me?" He joked

"I like to keep myself connected to the common folk." I returned

"How's filming going?"

"…Yeah, good,"

"Jen," He was thousands of miles away but he could still see straight through me

"I miss home, I miss everyone, I miss my bed, but I miss you the most." I sighed

"It's not long to go, then you'll be home and I'm going to give you the biggest hug you've ever had and will ever have."

I started to get watery eyed, just hearing his voice made me miss him even more. I sniffled and he picked up on it straightaway.

"No, no, Jen. Don't get upset. It's okay I promise. It's just because Sydney is so different, that's all." He soothed

I squeezed my eyes shut as tears rolled down my cheeks, all I wanted was him to be here next to me and wipe them away with his gentle hands.

"I guess so; I miss you so much though."

"I miss you too, Jen."

"I suppose I better go, they'll be picking me up to go to set soon,"

"Have a good day. And Jen I promise, time will fly by and I'll see you before you know it."

"I miss you, bye-bye,"

"Bye, Jen. I miss you lots." I hung up the phone and dropped it in my lap, I put my hands over my face and then through my hair; why did I miss him so much?

I threw on some loose clothes as my assistant, Jess came and got me to come with her to the lobby and into blacked out car that took me to set. I filmed for most of the day and it was early morning before I got back to my room. I flopped on the couch and dug through my bag or my phone.

Hey Joshy. I still miss you

I texted, I left my phone on the couch and hauled myself to the freezer, finding the two people who could usually make me feel better; Ben and Jerry. I slumped back on the couch, no reply from Josh. Time difference or not, no matter the time Josh always replied within minutes. Maybe he'd fallen asleep with his phone in a different room, or it was out of charge. I wasn't due on set until the afternoon tomorrow, what time I go to sleep tonight doesn't matter too much. I turned on the tv as I spooned the ice cream into my mouth, I flicked channels as the ice cream failed to make me feel any better. I landed on a few shows but turned over after a shirt time; I kept eating the ice cream even though its affect was limited. I finally gave up after a while and dragged myself to my bed; I threw on a long t-shirt and then rolled myself in the sheets.

My eyes opened slowly and I automatically checked my phone, s till no reply. It was 11am, I spun my legs of the end of the bed and stood up and grabbed cereal, eating it out of the box and I sat in the large windowsill in the suite; looking out at the water, the beach, people walking around, some holding hands, some hugging, some laughing. I heard my phone ding and I leapt across the couch to my phone. It was a new message. It wasn't Josh. It was Jess saying that my times where going to change today, I would go in early and get home earlier, I said that it was fine and she replied that she would have the normal car pick me up in 20minutes. I ate some more cereal and put it back and walked back into my messy room. I huffed and grabbed a pair of denim shorts from the draw; it's just before summer so it wasn't too baking but hot enough for shorts; I pulled a baggy grey t-shirt over my head and shoved my bag over my shoulder and put my phone in it and headed down to the lobby.

There wasn't much filming today, I did a few close ups for yesterday's scenes and a small section of a new scene but I was done by 7.

Jess was in my trailer when I got to it to change out of wardrobe and into what I came in.

"Hey, Jess. Everything okay?"

"Hiya. I'll take you back to the hotel, Jen." She smiled

"I can just get the car-"

"It's okay, I'll take you. I'll be in my car, it's just outside." She interrupted and then left to her car.

I quickly changed and got into her blue mini. I held my phone in my hand, shuffling it around in my fingers, he still hadn't replied, I didn't send another because I didn't want to pester him.

"Are you okay?" Jess asked sweetly

"Yeah, I just miss home,"

"And by home you mean Josh?" she smiled solemnly

"…Yes."

Jess turned onto a different road than the one that takes me back to the hotel.

"Jess, where are we going?" I questioned, she ignored me "Jess?" she still ignored me.

She stopped the car and told me to get out, she was smiling such a big grin as she did so, I asked why but she just told me to go down a path to the beach and if I didn't get out she'd take away my ben and jerry's from the freezer. Obviously I complied and got out of the car, I shut the door and she drove off leaving me alone, in the dark, somewhere I didn't know. Thanks very much, Jess.

I eased down a thin path between banks of padded sand and grass; my phone buzzed in my hand. I unlocked the screen to see a message from Josh, I smile immediately broke out on my face as the screen illuminated the surroundings.

I miss you so much, too

My heart swelled as I began to type back

I wish you were here. Jess has literally left me in a car park and told me to go down to the beach…

Well go down to the beach, then :) you always liked adventures

True but what if this is her plot to kill me?

Haha! I think she'd be much more cliché than this. Just go to the beach and tell me what's going on when you know.

Okay :/

I kept my phone in my hand as I dodged rocks sticking out from the ground. I stepped onto the soft sand and went over to a dark pitted rock to lean on as I took off my sandals. I held then with my fingers that held my phone too. I pushed off the rock a noticed a piece of paper on it kept there by a smaller pale rock. I pulled it out from under the rock and saw the note left on it, it was handwritten and simply read; 'Follow the flame, Girl on fire'

The handwriting was familiar but I couldn't place it, nobody wrote anymore we all type. I looked up from the note to see red and orange flickers in the distance; I began to walk towards it, increasing my pace as I got closer. I could see the fire clearly no; it wasn't very big but it was radiant and burning strong. There was no one around, it didn't make sense. I stood in front of the flames looking at it in misunderstanding. My phone went off again;

Anything happened yet? You still alive ;)

I'm still alive. I'm confused, no one is here

Have you looked around?

I strolled around the fire looking behind it to see if I could see anything, I circled back to where I started, still looking behind the fire. I stopped moving and started to text Josh again

No one's here, I checked

Are you sure?

"Yes, I'm sure, Josh." I said out loud

"Then you're not looking properly," A smooth voice tenderly replied

I knew that gentle voice anywhere, but it didn't seem possible. I dropped my bag, shoes and phone into the sand and spun around. That smile shot at me as I bolted towards that perfect voice and into those arms that I had been so desperate for.

"Josh!" I cried and tears threatened to spill over. I wrapped my arms around his neck and buried my face into the crook of his neck; his arms wound around back.

"Hi," he whispered into my hair. I squeezed tighter, not bearing to think about being apart from him again. I slid my hands down to his chest, clutching his t-shirt in my fists as his palm cradled my head. He kissed my forehead so caringly.

"I missed you so much, Jennifer." He mumbled into my hair. I let out a whimper as my reply, I couldn't form words. They could never fully express how I felt being in his arms right now. How safe it was, how strong and reassuring it was. But most of all how it made my heart race.
