⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"So what should we do next?" Josh asked while taking the girl through the door of her home. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Nia's thoughts wonder for awhile, she knew what she exactly wanted to talk about. But she knew it could go all wrong with the night they just had. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Josh, what I really wanna talk about is-" Nia started out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Josh's jaw clinched, and he looked at the brunette. The thoughts bewildered him, he had no clue what to say to her. He loved her, but was it enough to risk it all? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Nia, you know I like you, but the rules-" Josh stated. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Life is to short to follow rules, I've realize this once I lost my leg. So what if your boss doesn't approve, we are legal to date to give consent," Nia mentioned. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Nia, but it's my job. I love my job, I don't want to lose everything I've worked for. All the years of school, the training-" Josh said. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"And what about training your entire life, creating who you are today to make the person you want the most fall in love with you? Not everyday, you get the person you want. I'm here, I'm here trying to reasoning with you,"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"And I'm here talking to you about what I want. I want my job, and I want you. But we can't get everything in life, and I need a job to survive," ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"What about love? You can't live without love, without love people become cold-hearted. They begin to dislocated themselves from the world because they don't belong,"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"And I have my family to love me. Yes Nia, I love you, but I love my job," ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Sometimes I really hate the word 'love' because honestly people criticize those who say the word 'hate'. They criticize that word because its powerful, and strong word to use in a phrase much like 'I hate you'. But, the word 'love' is equality as strong has the word 'hate' and they throw the phrase 'I love you' around like its nothing and pointless," Nia spat looking away from Josh. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Josh looked at the brunette, and he tilted his head trying to comprehend everything that was said. Josh bit his lip slightly, and walked toward the door. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Okay Nia, I'll be back," Josh said twisting the door knob. He hesitated swinging the door open, and walking out of the house. He stepped outside, and climbed back into his car. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Josh drove and drove till he reached his house. He walked in, and looked at the picture of his sister on the stand next to his couch. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I love you, Paigey, I'll always remember you," Josh said placing the photo facing down. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Josh grabbed his phone scrolling through the photos of his family. The family that was in a car crash three years ago, and died. Just because Brooke needed a ride home and Paige just got picked up from the movies. His dad looked away only for a split second, then the car was tipped over. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Siren blurred the air, filled the darkness. But everything was to late, the sister and parents of Josh Hyland were dead. A little boy stood stunned looking at car he just crawled out of because he was small enough to fit through the shattered window.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Josh snapped back to reality, and went to his bedroom. He fell asleep, dreamt about his future. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀On the other hand, Nia sat in the same spot Josh left her in. Her thoughts, the words that were spoken spin around her head like a yoyo with its string. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Nia shook her head trying to focus her vision, and focus her thoughts onto something that was important. Tomorrow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Nia grunts has she pushed herself to her bedroom. She reached the area, she pulls herself out of her seat crawling toward her bed.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Nia pulled her bed sheets, using them has a guide, to climb onto the bed. When she reached the top, she covered erased in her blankets and went to sleep on the thought of Josh. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀The following morning was a surprise to Nia, she didn't expect what has came to her door. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
