let me in || minizerk sequel || completed

29/07/16

I woke up alone the next morning. And then, of course, I remembered that I went to bed alone too.
I groaned and dragged a hand across my face as I recalled the events. When Simon said what he had said, all I could respond with was 'okay, night' before I took myself to bed.
I heard my door open slightly and I looked up to see Simon, with his head peeking through the gap he'd made.
'Josh? You up?'
I stayed very still, hoping that if I didn't move, he would leave.
'Josh, c'mon. I know you. We have shared a bed multiple times, I know you're awake.'
Sighing, I sat up and looked at him. My heart ached when I saw how reluctant he was to enter.
'What's up?' I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.
'Erm... I wanna talk to you.'
'Come in.' I gestured for him to sit on the bed, and he did, but he sat the furthest away from me possible.
'I want to move back in.' he said abruptly. I was stunned.
'Have you spoke to JJ and Vik?'
'Yeah.'
'What did they say?'
'They were happy. They thought you would be happy.'
I shrugged.
'Then move back in. But you are the one who has to explain why you aren't moving into our- my room.' I tried so hard not to sound bitter, but it didn't work.
'I can do that.'
'Cool. Let me know if you need help moving back.'
'Thanks, Josh.'
I nodded distantly as he smiled at me. I lifted my mouth to smile back but it came out as more of a grimace as he stood up and left the room.
I grabbed my phone from the table beside my bed.
