Holding On To You (Josh Dun) (Wattys16)

six

I walked back in just to meet Dave in the hallway, and I started to cry.

"I'm sorry" I said between my breaths. "I'm sorry I just can't..."

He looked at me confused and tried to take a hold of my shoulders, but I shrugged him off.

"I can't do this anymore" I yelled and I didn't even care that our parents could hear me.

"What are you talking about? What can't you do?" Dave asked confused.

"This" I pointed back and forth between us. "I can't be with you, I'm sorry"

As the words hit him, I saw the desperation and shock in his eyes. He had no idea. I had tried so hard to hide what I was feeling, and as the naive person he was, he never saw it.

Before I could think, I grabbed his car keys and ran out the door.

I started the car and backed out on the street, with Dave running after me. He reached the passenger door but it was locked. And I looked at him with teary eyes as I drove off.

The drive back to Dave's apartment was only ten minutes but it took me a good thirty minutes to get there because I couldn't stop crying. I ran a few red lights before parking outside the building.

I wanted to hurry in case Dave had followed me with his parents car or something, so I just threw all my things into my trunk and left.

Out on the street I called for a taxi cab.

"To the bus station please" I said. "And hurry"

:.:JOSH:.:

It was 8 pm and I just got off the phone with one of my friends, Mark. He wanted me to come with him to a show in Camden, some band he knew was gonna play one of their first big shows. I wasn't really in the mood for a night out but I needed to clear my head so why not. 

I headed into the bathroom to freshen up and change my clothes, but just as I turned the faucet on I was interrupted by a heavy pounding on the front door.

Mark you fucker, I thought to myself.

I didn't even bother to look in the peep-hole before I opened the door, so I was pretty surprised to see Ellie in the hallway.

I could see she had been crying, but I was so caught off guard that I just starred at her.

A second later, she almost threw herself over me and her lips crashed onto mine.

Her legs wrapped around my hips and I held her up with both of my hands as I almost stumbled backwards into the apartment.

I forgot how to think, everything just went blank. 

One thing I did know how to do though, was to kiss her back. Her mouth felt like fire, we were literally exploding together.

God I had wanted this for so long.

I pinned her to the wall but our lips never parted.

She kept on kissing me with such passion I was afraid she'd pass out from exhaustion.

A few minutes later, her legs loosened around my hips and she stood back on the ground, and my hands moved to her cheek and neck. She rested her perfect face in my hands.

Our lips finally parted, and she pressed her forehead to mine and looked into my eyes with her glittering ones, she was smiling.

I wiped the tears from her cheeks and smiled back to her.

"Hi" she whispered.

"Hi" I said back.

I stroked her hair from her face and kissed her forehead and she closed her eyes for a while.

I guess we were both confused of what just happened. But I know I liked it.

"What happened?" I asked her as we loosened our grip from each other and she walked over to the couch and sat down.

"I broke up with Dave" she sighed and a tear fell from her eye.

"And how do you feel about that?" I asked her and sat down beside her.

"Up until now I didn't know what I felt, I was just gonna come here and figure it out I guess"

"And did you?" I expected the worse. What if she realized she hated me and wanted to go back to him. I'm not sure my heart could process her leaving me again.

She nodded, and my heart was racing.

"Yeah... I just can't stay away from you" she smiled.

Oh thank god.

I leaned over and kissed her lightly and I could feel her smiling.

"I don't want to stay away from you either" I whispered.
