Completely ignoring the clock that read 3:28 a.m., I picked up the telephone. Josh would definitely want to hear that I was coming back home. I slowly dialed his number. "Hey," he answered.
"Josh," I said trying to sound happy.
"Baby," Josh said, "it's the middle of the night. What are you doing? Are you ok?" I silently smiled to myself. Just like Josh to worry about every little thing. Josh was such a sweetie and I couldn't help but smile when I heard his voice. "Baby," the voice echoed in my head and I finally realized that it wasn't an echo. Josh was actually talking. Oh geez, I was really out of it.
"Oh, yeah," I said with a yawn. "I'm fine. Sorry for waking you Josh." Shaking my head, I wrapped a curl around my finger. "I'm coming home."
"Why?" He sounded surprised yet happy at the same time. "You were so excited about going back to Kellermans. Is everything ok?" No. Everything is not ok. The love of my life is engaged to some snobby dancer that I don't like. Does that sound like ok to you? Of course not. But yeah, Josh, other then that my life is going just great. How bout yours? I shook those thoughts out of my head, I couldn't tell him that.
"I haven't been completely honest with you, sweetie." When those words left my mouth I knew that I was going to tell Josh everything. I was going to tell him about Johnny, about what I did 3 years ago at Kellermans. Every little detail was going to come out of my mouth. When Josh asked what I hadn't been honest about I said, "About why I was so happy to come back here to Kellermans." I slowly began to tell him everything starting with the first time I had seen Johnny and Penny dance together. He listened intently and silently. By the time I had told him everything, about how I had loved Johnny, I was in tears. All this had to hurt Josh, it really did, it probably left him wondering with thoughts about me and Johnny; thoughts about whether I still loved him.
"Do," Josh was silent for a moment, "Baby, do you still love this Johnny? Is that why you wanted to go back to Kellermans?"
"No, Josh, no." I shook my head even though he couldn't see it. And I soon found my self pleading over the phone. "Josh, I don't know what to do. I mean I don't know if I love Johnny." That was a lie. I did know, and the answer was yes. I did love Johnny with all my heart. "I don't want to hurt you, I love you." And I did. I loved Josh, just not like I loved Johnny. "It's awful. I don't know what to do."
"Baby," I heard Josh sigh. "You can't come home." I can't come home? Wait a minute. He didn't want me to come home? That wasn't normal. I thought Josh would be happy, I thought he would want to see me. He didn't though.
"Oh," I answered with sadness and confusion clearly showing in my voice.
"It's not like that," Josh said obviously reading my mind. "I just want you to be sure about your feelings before you leave. I got to go," he told me and sighed again. "Just stay there awhile and straighten everything out." The next thing I heard was, "Oh, and Baby?"
"Yeah?" I asked with a yawn.
"I love you." With those words he hung up. And I was left just sitting there on the bed, holding the phone and trying not to wake Lisa up. So Josh wanted me to stay here at Kellermans? But I didn't want to stay. Oh gosh, I was so confused.
