Don't Judge A Book By It's Cover (Joshler)

Josh's P.O.V

I wake up to a knock on the door. Tyler is sleeping peacefully in my arms and I slowly start to close my eyes again, until there was another knock. Tyler shifts, I don't want him to wake up. I shift myself so I could get out from under him without waking him. To my luck, Tyler turns around and cuddles into a pillow. I get up from the bed and put on the boxers and pants that were thrown on the floor.

I walk down to the front door and open it, coming face to face with Debby. Her eyes are attached to my chest, I now feel uncomfortable. I clear my throat and she looks up at me, a blush spreading across her cheeks.

"O-oh hi Josh. C-can I come in?" She stutters out. She's making this really awkward.

"Sure." I mumble walking away from the door and into the living room. I hear the door shut and Debby comes in not too long after. She takes a seat on the couch next to me. We sit in awkward silence, before I decide to break it.

"So, why'd you decide to come visit?" I ask her. Her eyes shift across the room before settling on me.

"I um...I wanted to talk..about..um..our breakup." Why now? We broke up about a month ago, she had all that time to talk to me about it.

"Ok...and what did you want to talk about?" I just hope Tyler doesn't wake up anytime soon, that'd be really awkward. Debby opens and closes her mouth multiple times, looking for the right words to say. After around a minute, she sighs, giving up.

"I miss you, Josh. I'm sorry for what I did, I knew it was wrong and I'm sorry just...please. I love you." Well...I didn't expect that. I don't love her in that way anymore, I love Tyler and I'll never stop loving Tyler.

"I love you too," She instantly smiles, but I wasn't finished. "But not in the way I use you." Her smiles drops.

"W-what?" She stutters out, sounding absolutely heart broken.

"Debby, I love you like a friend, a very good friend. I can't get back together with you, I love someone else. I'm sorry." I see tears fill her eyes and she quickly looks down.

"I-It's only been a month, h-how did you-" She cuts herself off. "The person you've been cheating on me with." I cringe. Why'd she word it like that? Is she trying to make me feel guilty? Well, it's not going to work, I do not regret my decisions.

"Uh..y-yea- I thought we were over this Debby. I said we could still be friends." She then looks up at me with tears running down her cheeks. That just makes me pity her.

"Friends? We could never be friends. Exs don't become friends. How did you even get over me that fast? Have you never loved me!? How long have you been cheating on me!?" Her voice got louder and louder with every question. I shush her, not wanting all the commotion to wake up Tyler. "Why do I need to be quiet huh? Is that person still here!?" She screams. I cover her mouth with my hand. She licks my hand thinking I'll move it, well jokes on you. I've been sharing spit with you for two years, this doesn't faze me.

"Ok. Ok." I whisper to her. "The person is still here, please be quiet." I've never seen her like this before, it's honestly kind of disturbing. She takes a few deep breaths before nodding. I slowly move my hand from her mouth and she composes herself.

"Answer my questions." She demands. I sigh.

"I got over you quickly because I'm too quick to love. It has gotten me in some bad situations, but I can't help it." She listens with interest, urging me to go on. "I fell in love with you in the first 3 months, I'm just good at hiding my feelings. The whole time we were dating, I've always loved you, I stopped seeing this person for you. I will admit, when I met this person, my love for you did dwindle and when I found out you were cheating on me, my feelings for you were gone. That was the last string and you cut it." She looked guilty. She should be. "I've really only been cheating on you for about 4 days before we broke up." She looked down to the floor.

"I'm sorry." She mumbles. "I'm sorry that I cheated on you, I'm sorry that I came here and I'm sorry that I shouted at you." She apologizes, tears falling from her face and onto the floor.

"It's ok, it's ok." I tell her, pulling her into a hug. We hug for a while until she calms down and lets go of me.

"So, who is this person?" She asks. Oh god. If she found out it was Tyler, she would freak.

"If I told you, you would probably scream at me." I say chuckling.

"Oh please don't tell me it's my sister." She says in a joking voice. I laugh. Me and her sister never really 'got along' per say. She never liked that I was dating her sister.

"No, no. God no." I say shaking my head.

"Then who its it?" She asks, curiously.

"I told you, I'm not telling you." I reply to her. She pouts at me before smiling.

"Fine, but I will figure it out sooner or later." She says before getting up. I get up too. I walk her to the door. She turns to me before opening the door. "Thanks Josh. I really needed that." She says smiling softly.

"No problem." She hugs me and I hug back before she opens the door and steps out, saying goodbye once more. I shut the door behind her and let out a sigh. That was stressful and awkward. I had no idea she felt that way about the breakup. I'm sure that she'll soon get over it and things can go back to how they were when we first met 3 years ago.

I walk to my bedroom, maybe I can get more sleep if Tyler isn't awake yet. I walk in to see Tyler staring up at the ceiling with no emotion on his face. How long has he been awake? Did he hear any of the conversation we had just now?

"Tyler?" I call out to him. He doesn't look my way or move a muscle. Then he says five words.

Five words that I never thought I would hear.

A/N: done! Happy with how this chapter turned out. I'm thinking maybe I should change the name of this fic to help with...future plans ;-). I'm not telling you what I'm planning, but I might execute it. Might. Anyways I'm gonna go. Bye.

Wolf out :3
