Fast forward to the next day and I was standing in front of my closet, staring at my clothes. "I have nothing to wear!" I moaned to what I thought was an empty room. Which is why, when I heard a chuckle from behind me, I shrieked and whirled around. "Joshua John Devine!" I yelled, throwing a pair of pants at him.
He dodged the flying clothes, laughing hard. "Sorry, but I had to. And seriously, nothing to wear? Did you not just drag me on a three hour long shopping trip like last week?" he asked, his eyes sparkling dangerously.
I rolled my own eyes, flopping onto the bed only to be joined by Josh a second later. "Yeah, but I didn't buy anything I can wear to a concert!" I said, exasperated.
Josh looked at me, one eyebrow raised, a slightly sad look in his eyes. "You mean, nothing you can wear to the concert to impress a certain someone."
Sitting up quickly, I stared at him with wide eyes. "What are you talking about?" I asked in what I hoped was an innocent voice.
"Oh please," he said, sitting up as well, "you don't think I noticed your little crush on Zayn? I'm not blind Breanna."
I bit my lip, instantly feeling bad. "I'm…I'm sorry. I know that you-"
Josh immediately began shaking his head, interrupting me. "No. Don't say you're sorry. You can't help who you like, trust me I know. If you like Zayn, that's fine, I'm your best friend and will continue to be your best friend no matter what," he paused for a second, then grinned. "Besides; it could be worse."
"How?" I asked, curiously.
"You could have a crush on Ben," he replied, still grinning. I laughed at the thought of his little brother who, while he was actually my age, I had never clicked with him like I had with Josh.
On an impulse, I leaned over and wrapped my arms around his neck, burying my face in his shoulder. "Thank you Joshy," I whispered.
"For what?" he asked, confusion clear in his voice even as he returned the hug.
I pulled back slightly, but kept my arms around him. "For being so understanding. Most guys wouldn't want to be in this situation, so thank you for sticking around."
He pulled me close again, smiling now. "Anything for you Banana."
