Lol theres a part in this chapter right from a movie… lol can you tell which part?
I looked back down and just sat there for a bit.
"Ella?"
I took a deep breath and pulled up his twitter to where his tweet was. I moved the laptop over and onto his lap. I pointed to the screen.
"What's that?" I asked
I stood up and looked at him.
"Oh, oh that's nothing"
"What do you mean nothing?" I started to yell, "Is there something wrong with me?"
"No!" He put the laptop to his side and stood up to stand beside me. I moved away again, "You're perfect."
"Well? What are you, ashamed of me or something? I don't get it!" I yelled
"No, I don't want people to know, I mean," He moved closer again and I pushed away, "I wanted to protect you."
"From what?"
"It doesn't matter, just forget it." He said
"It doesn't matter? Do I not matter? Is that why you didn't call?"
"No! I did call!" He was trying to not yell
"I didn't get a message. What were you doing?"
"Working." He said sweetly
"Yea, okay" I said sarcastically
"What?" He wondered
"Why would you do that again?" I yelled
He walked up to me, grabbed my shoulders and looked me right into the eyes.
"I would never, ever do that. Never. I promised you I wouldn't. You know I did."
I wanted to cry but I tried to hold it together. I missed him so much, I wanted to just hug him and make things better again.
"But," I started
He let go of my shoulders and moved out of the room.
"Where are you going? You can't just avoid this!" I cried
He came back in with a clenched fist and came close.
"I made a promise."
He opened his hand and it was my necklace.
"Do you see what it says there?" I moved the heart over to the side that said 'i'll be good to you'
"I promised you and your mom I would, and I will." He said
I started to break down and cry just thinking about my mom that night.
"I love you, I would rather fight with you then make love to ANYONE else." He hummed, "You here me? I don't ever want to hurt you."
I moved closer to him and hugged him tightly.
"I'm sorry." I sobbed, "I'm sorry"
He stood there for a bit and hugged me. He kissed my forehead and pulled away a bit to look me in the eyes.
"No I'm sorry," He whispered
I stepped back
"Is there anything else you want to tell me?" I stuttered
'Uh," There was a pause, "Remember that night you were in the hospital?"
"Of course"
"Well in your sleep you said 'I love you' but I didn't tell you because I wanted to be the first one to say it."
I smiled and he smiled back. How could I be mad at him after saying those things? I moved and he sat down on the couch, I followed and pulled the blanket back over us. I leaned against his shoulder and took a deep breath. The second I sat down I instantly felt better. I'd missed him so much, it was everything about him; I missed his voice, his blue hair. Everything.
"I should have known, Lexi told me not to worry."
"It happened once, and I'll never let it happen again."
"I know that now. So, what are you going to call it?" I asked
"Call what? The album?"
"Yea." I mumbled
"We've all decided it's going to be 'Masterpiece Theatre'. While we were in LA Raine saw one of my ideas and thought it was really good, so he looked over 3 different tracks called 'Masterpiece Theatre 1, 2, and 3 that I did earlier. It's going to be so fucking rad!"
I smiled
"When is it coming out?"
"Well, we have most of it done, we just need to do more tweaking. So, really early next year, like, February."
He wrapped his arms around me and leaned his head against mine.
"God I missed you!" He hummed
I giggled
"I missed you too. Oh! Guess what?" I exclaimed
"What?" He laughed
"I worked the whole week you were gone, extra hours and everything, so now, I'm going to be able to take a few days off"
He smiled
"Unless of course they call me in because of an emergency or something."
"Lexi can fill in can't she?" Josh asked
"Oh! Lexi! I forgot to tell you. I uh," I hesitated
"What?"
"I kinda told her how we met and told her about the whole heroin thing and, she didn't know."
"So?"
"Let's just say that she has a lot to ask you when you see her next."
It was quiet for a bit and I just sat there, taking in the moment. I could feel every breath he took, and his heart beating. Then I felt him start to giggle.
"Wanna know what I did to Ian?"
"What?" I laughed
"Okay, so we were at a restaurant and we all ordered shrimp, but Ian discovered that there was all you can eat shrimp. So when he went to get a refill on his shrimp we said, 'and he'll take 20 more' and they brought us twenty more!"
He paused to chuckle and continued,
"So he separated the shrimp because he was intimidated by the amount but I kept putting more on the plate when he wasn't looking, and in the end, he had over 35 shrimp 2 pieces of cod and fries."
He was still laughing and his laugh made me laugh
"Was he sick?" I wondered
"No, I don't think so anyway, Matt had to room with him."
I laid there with him while watching TV.
"How was your week?" He hummed
I took a deep breath
"Fine, work, sleep 4 or 5 hours, then work. It wasn't that interesting."
"Oh" He mumbled, "What do you want to do today?"
I hesitated for a bit and shrugged my shoulders.
"I don't know, but I need to get dressed." I smiled
I moved off the couch, out of his arms and walked to the bedroom. I got dressed and moved into the bathroom to do the usual things. I saw Josh walk by with his giant suitcase and into the bedroom. When I was done I went in and he had opened it. Nothing was folded; everything was just thrown into the bag and put on the plane.
"Oh my, you're putting all that away right?" I asked
"Um, sure." He smiled
I went back out into the living room. It was such a nice day outside as I walked by the window. I went to the kitchen and grabbed something quick to eat.
"Josh?" I mumbled with my mouth full, "Could we just go for a walk?"
He walked in and watched me as I looked out the window.
"Yea, whatever you want."
"Wait, did you put all those clothes away?" I asked smiling
"Maybe." He giggled
I shook my head and moved back to the kitchen to put away some dishes
"When do you want to leave?" He wondered
"Um, when I'm done this."
