You whispered, biting your lip slightly. "Mhmm?" He replied, rolling back over to face you. You couldn't help but giggle at his disoriented expression. "Why me?" You asked. He sat up in the bed, furrowing his eyebrows together. "What do you mean?" He asked. You turned away from him slightly, "Out of every girl who you could have been with, why would you choose me?" Josh crinkled his nose slightly, playing with hands. The silence fell over the two of you, the only sound was the steady breathing. "I really don't know." He whispered slightly. Your eyes widened and you took in a shaky breath. "I can't even explain it, it's like when I'm with you, nothing else matters. I don't have to be anyone or anything but me." You smiled, reaching for his hand. He looked up at you, taking your hand in his, rubbing his thumb over your knuckles. His lips curled into a small smirk as he reached over, flicking off the light on your bedside table. "Night." You mumbled, sliding back against the pillow.</li>

You sighed, hitting the button, completely disregarding the time. The phone rang for what seemed like forever, just as soon as your were about to give up a throaty "Hello?" on the other end. you took in a sharp breath, debating on hanging up. "Hey George." You heard him pause on the other end. "What's going on Y/N?" He asked, his voice very soft at this point. "George I, god it's just, I can't sleep here in this house without you now. Everything is cold and I miss you, I miss you so much." You said, your voice trailing off. "Y/N," George replied, "We talked about this, you and I, I'm gone all the time and I don't know what you want me to say." "I just, I wish you could come home sooner. I feel stupid and selfish, but I'm scared." You heard George's heavy breathing on the other line. "I know, but it'll be ok, it just has to be" He said softly.</li>

You turned away from him slightly, but his hands almost immediately reached your face, forcing you to face him. "What did you say?" He asked, his voice barely above a whisper. You blinked a few times, avoiding eye contact at all costs. "I-I didn't say anything." "Yes you did, I heard you." Jaymi replied, his voice low. "i said," You paused, "I said that I-I love you." You stammered, feeling a blush creep onto your face. Jaymi was silent as you glanced over at the clock, feeling defeated and tired in the late hour. You slid off the bed, turning back towards him, "I-uh, I think I'll just go home now, get some sleep." Jaymi's head snapped up, "No." "No?" Jaymi stood up, flipping on the bedside lamp. "You can't just, you can't tell me you love me and then leave." "Why not?" Jaymi sighed, "Because, well, I guess because I love you too."</li>

There was still light peeking out from underneath the locked door, sending a sliver of light across the floor. You sat up, wiping away at your face, smoothing down your hair."Babe? You awake?" You groaned hearing the sound of JJ's voice on the other side of the door. "I am." You snapped, glaring into the darkness. "Sweetie, I'm sorry. I didn't mean-" "What?" You growled, "call your ex three times in the last week. Yep what an accident." You said, every word thick with sarcasm. You heard him take in a breath, "It was stupid, I felt bad she just seems to have everyone against her at the moment, I wanted to help her." "And forget about me?" You said, rising and throwing the door open. When JJ saw your face he cowered back. "I-I'm sorry." He said, his voice hitching on the last word. You rolled your eyes, "Whatever let's just go to bed and we'll talk about this in the morning."</li>
