*In the living room* 


You were pretty tired and just wanted to go home. "I'm sorry but I think I'm just gonna go home."

"Why?" Emily asked.

"I'm just really tired. My head hurts."

"There's so many things I wanna tell you but not now. I'll text you soon." Emily warned

"Ok. Whenever works." you waved and said goodbye.

Vernon spoke up. "Wait. I'll drive you" 

"No its fine. I'll just walk or bus."

"Do you know how late it is? Nearly 11. I can't let you go alone." he said.

"I'm serious. No need to feel pity for me. Remember my taekwondo? I can handle myself." you said

"Just let him take you home." Emily said.

"He has Lilly to take care of."

"Oh her? I'll take care of her. Don't you worry." she said mischieviously.

"Listen to her." Woozi said.

Vernon raised his eyebrows at you. "How about it?"

"Whatever." you said.

*LILLY AND JOSHUA RETURN*

"Babe where are you going?" Lilly asks Vernon.

"I'm taking (y/n) home."

Joshua looks at Vernon. "No, let me.Take care of Lilly." 

"Emily said sh-"

You cut Vernon off in the middle of his sentence.

"Let's go Joshua" you said pulling his shirt.

"Mhm. Let's go."  
Joshua dropped you off at your house and you guys said your goodnights.  
"Thanks for everything today." you say before closing the car door.

"It's nothing."

"I'm glad I have you by my side." you say.

"I'll always be here." Joshua ensures

You flash him a soft smile. "Goodnight"

"Night"

It's been a couple of weeks since Emily's birthday. Lilly has been appearing in front of you everyday. Emily told you that she goes to a different school, so whenever she has time she comes here to visit Vernon. But what seemed off to you was that you caught Joshua and Lilly together a couple of times too. You noticed that whenever they talked it seemed as if they were arguing. Although you saw them together you never eaves dropped on them. What they talked about was their business. Also it was the last day of school today so you were extremely happy. 

You were gazing at the clouds on a swing near your school. You felt a pair of hands cover your eyes. 

"Guess who?" someone said in a fake deep voice
"Joshuaaaa?" you answered
"How'd you know?" 

"You're fake voice wasn't so convincing." 

"Awhh" Joshua said disappointed 

"Why're you here?"

"So, I had an idea. Since it's the last day of school, I told everyone that we should go camping tonight." said Joshua
