-Right after last chapter-
Olivia's POV:
That was an epic fail.
While I was talking to him, and when we were walking to the lunch room, something didn't feel right, and it didn't go unnoticed. It wasn't us being us. It was Joshua and Olivia, two boring people who just met and without any knowledge of each other whatsoever, then started dating.
I rushed to my dressing room and grabbed my guitar. I let a few tears roll down my face. I thought they would all gone by now.
I let my mind flow and I smoothly came up with lyrics of the song.
"I know I'm a stop on the way to your soulmate
I'll fill you up, but only while you wait
You're everything to me, I see my future in your eyes
But I know when you're kissing me that you're just killing time
That's okay, I know my place
I know I'm a stop on the way
To your soulmate
Ah, ah, ooh, ooh." I ended. It represented what I felt so well. I just didn't feel like we belong anymore.
"Is that really what you think?" Someone asked. Please don't be...
Josh.
Damn it, I left the door open. "Uh-" My mouth was wide open, but nothing came out. He walked closer, putting my guitar to the side. He placed me on my feet and glanced at me straight in the eyes.
"Olivia, you listen, and you listen good." He pulled me closer to him, tugging my chin. "I don't want anyone else but you. I don't want Alyssa, I don't want some other person. I want you. And yes, I made a mistake. I'm a human and I'm not perfect, but I won't let this get in the way of us. I'm not 'waiting', and watching you 'fill me up'. If only I'm waiting for the second you turn 18 and I can tell the whole world you are mine." He was serious. Like... really wholehearted. He cupped my face and kept going. "I love you, and that won't ever change. I love the way you get jealous, I love the way you try to change my mind about the dumbest debates while I'm driving, I love the way your eyes get puffy when you wake up, I love the way you gasp after you say a bad word because you think it's illegal or something, I love how stubborn we both are, I love-"
"Those are all my flaws." I mumbled. Everything inside of me stopped. It was only me, him, and our heavy breaths.
"No, they're not flaws! They're part of you, and part of me! And I love each and every one of them!" He complimented me. "They make you the way you are. The Olivia I fell in love with." He put our foreheads together. He has to be Josh and everything he says I just fall in love with... "I know we still have a long way to go, but I'm willing to do this with you. I'm sorry." He confessed, with tears threatening to fall. That reminded me all of our memories, why I loved him, how annoyingly competitive he is, the way he acts like a 5 year old, everything! I was about to reject all of that? He's my best friend! He understands me more than anyone! He knows me more than anyone! What the heck was wrong with me?
I took my time to examine him. His eyes were dry, probably from crying so much, and his face was pale. How did I never realize how hurt he was? "Baby, I'm sorry too." I wrapped my arms around him; I felt a river of tears come out of my eyes; I hurt the person I care for the most. What was I thinking?
He pulled me closer to him and sighed. It was a peaceful and calming sigh. "I missed you." He divulged. I could simultaneously hear the relief and pain in his voice. That was the moment I knew it was back to how it used to be. I closed my eyes and savored the moment. "I missed your hair, which smells like coconut, I missed your arms around me, I missed your beautiful voice, I missed you small hands in mine. I missed you." He described. "I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to cause you so much pain." He lamented, pulling us closer if that was even possible.
"No, I'm the one who owes you an apology. I was too selfish to think about you." I ran my hands through his curls. The feeling of my fingers through his soft hair was something I had been longing for the last two weeks. "Thank you for being so honest with me." I wiped his tears away while he wiped mine.
"You worthy to know the truth, princess." He caressed my hair. I loved when he called me princess.
"But, really. You're one of a kind, and I'm sorry for treating you the way I did. And I forgive you for almost kissing Alyssa. You did the right thing by telling me. I just didn't see it like that then. I didn't let you explain your side and-" I put forth, but he interrupted me.
"Yeah, yeah, I forgive you too, and blah blah blah." He rolled his eyes. I was confused. "Olivia Oblivia." He mumbled.
"What?" I questioned, puzzled.
"Olivia, you know, sometimes we can simply cut the chat and just kiss." He grinned. His puffy eyelids covered most of his eyes.
OHHHH! That's what he meant. "I see what you did there." I giggled, sniffling.
"Yeah?" He nodded, leaning closer, smirking.
"Yeah."
"Yeah." He agreed. We shared one of the most passionate and slow kisses we've ever had. His hands were wrapped around my back, and my arms clung to his neck.
We both pulled away, breathless. "I love you." He beamed.
"I love you too." I nuzzled our noses, slightly jumping to wrap my legs around his waist.
"You know..." He smirked. "Our forever is looking pretty good." He teased, lightly gripping my thigh.
"Does our forever involve a cat named Taylor?" I asked him.
"You want a cat named after Taylor Swift?" He laughed. I nodded my head, laughing at how dumb that was. "I should've known." He groaned, pulling on his curls.
"Take you're hand of those curls if you want to see a tomorrow." I warned him, lightly slapping his hand off. He laughed and nodded his head.
"You get a cat, if we also get a dog named Harry." He chuckled.
"Deal." I tittlered.
"Deal." He grinned, kissing me. "Frankie is dying right now." He laughed.
"What do you mean?" I asked him, confused. He carried me to the creek of the door.
"This is what I mean." He showed me that Frankie right behind the door.
"Hi guys." Frankie chattered when Josh shoved the door open.
"Frankie, where you spying us?" I laughed.
"No." He denied.
"Liar, liar, pants on fire." Josh sang.
"Okay? And what if I was? JOLIVIA SUPREMACY IS A THING, YOU GUYS!" He shouted.
"Sheesh, you don't have to break my eardrums." Josh laughed.
"I'M TELLING THE REST NOW, BYE!" He jumped. Within seconds he was gone. I turned to look back at Josh, who was laughing his head off.
"We have weird friends." I chuckled.
"That's something I agree on." He smiled, bringing my lips to his. I was so glad I could do that again.
"Oh, hey guy- YES! YES! OUR SHOW IS NOT FALLING APART!" Tim clapped, walking through the hallway. "WOO!" He cheered. Liv and I both pulled away and laughed at Tim's victory dance.
Josh' POV:
Life is funny sometimes. People fight, then make up, they cry, then laugh, they agree, then disagree; At the end of the day, no matter what, everything was where it was supposed to be.
