Until Dawn ~ Another Path {Josh x OC}

Chapter 2

"Just what I wanted to hear..." I sarcastically said, laying my throbbing head on his shoulder.

"Listen, I know it's hard for you to go back up there, but we're doing this for Josh. You know how much you guys suffered after that night. Don't you remember how much depression you both fell into?" Chris sadly smiled, ruffling my hair with his hand.

"Chris I wish I could forget. The shitty therapy sessions aren't any help is either. But, we did become so close after that, I could talk to him for hours upon hours trying to cheer each other up. It worked, but only for the moment." I hopped into the van, sliding next to Chris, placing my aching head on his shoulder once again while I talked, the scar still very present on my forehead.

"On the bright side, you do get to see Josh again, with no parents up there.." He smirked, knowing that I had a soft spot for Josh, also trying to change the dark subject.

I could feel my face get red as I tried to think of an answer. I tried to spit out a witty remark as he always did yet my words just got jumbled.

"I.. Uh. I mean yeah.. Huh..."  I sighed, still trying to hide my blush.

He might of got that one, but two can play that game..

"Well maybe I do wanna get a little cozy with Josh, and I bet you want to do a lot more then just get a little cozy with Ashely..." I returned his smirk, and made sure to watch his face turn red.

"Um, well, I umm.... I like Ashely, just as we all do." He bowed his head.

"Chris, everyone can see right through your little act. We all know you love Ashely. And we can see right through her too. She loves you just as much back. It's just stupid neither of you are making a move." I playfully punched his arm, trying to get him to confess, although we all know that they have feelings for each other.

"Touché Shorty, your learning your comebacks from the best." He replied, changing the subject.

"Always changing the subject are you?" I smirked once again.

"I'm not changing the subject, I just wanted to complement myself for teaching you how to make witty remarks, that's all." He replied.

"Oh Chris, your such an idiot." I giggled, directing my attention to the window.

"Seems like your getting better." He played with the bottom of my hair, swirling it around his finger.

"Uh, yeah, totally." I chuckled awkwardly, trying to shield him from my burdens.

"Listen, just remember, if any of those voices start to come back, or if you just need someone to talk to, I'm here." He supported me.

"Just don't talk about the voices Chris..." I drifted off.

"Schizophrenia is a serious matter Bella, I love you and don't want you going all mental on me. Then who will I have to teach my sarcastic comments to?" I could feel his gaze on me, making sure to not meet his eyes, embarrassed of my stupid problems.

"Chris, I said don't. I hope you haven't been telling the others about this stuff either." I ignored his joke, wanting to make sure none of my friends think I'm a basket case.

"They need to make sure your ok. I had to tell them...." I was furious. Why did he have to tell them.

"Great, now they all think I'm a crazy person who needs special attention." My face got red at the thought of my well known friends treating my any different then anybody else.

"They're not going to treat you differently, I promise. Just, they may be a bit more sensitive to you in situations that might get a little intense. You know Jess and Em are going to be up there together, so we're going to be hearing fights constantly..."

I ignored him. Sensitively. I'm going to be treated like a child that doesn't know how to react to the real world. Giving him the silent treatment, I still glared out the window, hoping this weekend could still be somewhat enjoyable.
