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

Tyler's P.O.V

I wake up, feeling a little cold. I reach my hand across the bed, looking for my source of heat. I open my eyes, feeling that the bed was empty beside me. I sit up and look around the room. Josh is no where to be seen. I listen carefully, the shower isn't running. I get up from the bed and put on some boxers.

I slowly make my way out of the room, but quickly freeze as I hear a female voice.

"I love you." The female voice says. It sounded familiar. Is that Debby?

"I love you too." I feel my heart shatter. That's definitely Josh's voice. Why'd he say that? Why'd he say it to her? He told me he loved me. Am I nothing to him? I walk back into his room, tears gush down my face.

'I told you this was a bad idea. This a waste of time! If you had just listened to me, none of this would of happened.'

'No. No, something's not right here. Josh would never tell someone else he loves them after telling you he loves you. That's just not like him.'

It sounded so genuine too. I lay on Josh's bed, breathing in his scent. I still love him, I can't help but love him. This man has done something to me, put me under his spell. I can't get over him now, I can't believe he would do this. I gave him my body, I took all of his pain. How could he do this to me?

'I can't help but feel like we're missing something here. This is just so unusual for someone like Josh.'

'Or, maybe he just used Tyler. Said he loved him so that he'd trust him.'

'That's just not Josh.'

I hear Josh's footsteps heading towards this way. I continue to stare at the ceiling as he enters.

"Tyler?" I didn't move. I couldn't, but I was curious. Did this man really betrayed my trust? My love? So I asked him a question. One I hoped that I didn't have to ask.

"Do you still love her?" I don't hear anything for a while. I felt like crying again.

"What?" Josh whispered out. I sit up and look at him. Tears are still present in my eyes and his face instantly filled with worry.

"Do you still love her?" I ask again, my voice more stronger this time.

"What? No-i mean I do, but-" I let the tears fall from my face and look down from him.

'I told you! I told you!' Blurry screamed, making me unable to hear what Josh was saying. A small sob falls from my lips.

"Tyler-" He starts, but I cut him off.

"No. No! You told me that you loved me and I said it back, but I heard you. You said you loved her." I sobbed. Josh made his way over to me. "No, stop. Don't come near me." I say pulling my knees to my chest. Josh stops where he is instantly, hurt spreading across his face. Guilt spread through my body, but I shouldn't be feeling guilty.

"Tyler please. I love you. I will always love you. You're misunderstanding the situation..." How am I misunderstanding the situation? I heard him, loud and clear, tell Debby that he loved her.

"Are you lying to me? Did you use me!? I gave you everything, Josh! How could you do this to me?" I whisper the last part. My heart is hurting. It's hurting so bad.

"I'm sorry! Is that what you want me to say!? I'm sorry!" Josh shouts. More tears fall from my eyes. I don't want to have a fight with him, but I'm hurting. I don't want to hurt, but I need the truth. I look up at Josh, he looked like he was on the verge of crying.

"Is this you admitting that you used me?" I whisper, my voice raspy from sobbing. Josh squeezes his eyes shut, tears falling down his cheeks as he takes a deep breath.

"No. I never used you, Tyler." Josh kept his voice calm. "I would never use you. I love you. I love you so much and I don't love Debby. I only love her as a friend. There is nothing romantic about me and Debby's relationship anymore. Please...please believe me. You're all I have, I don't want to lose you." Josh's voice had turned shaky and more tears poured out of his eyes. I can't say anything, my throat closed up. I just place my head in my knees and softly cry into them.

I suddenly feel a hand on my shoulder before arms wrap themselves around me. I cry harder, leaning into him and he hugs me tighter. I let go of my knees and grab onto his arm desperately, like I was gonna fall if I let go.

"I love you so much, don't you ever doubt that." Josh whispers to me. I pull away from him slightly, turning my head and connect our lips. I pour out all of my emotions in that kiss, grabbing onto his shirt, not wanting it to end. I pull away after a while.

"I love you too." I whisper on his lips. Josh closes the gap again, sharing a passionate kiss. We pull away to breath after a while. "I'm sorry. I am so sorry that I didn't listen to you." I apologize. I feel terrible for assuming the worst. It's never good when you assume.

"It's ok, Tyler. It's ok. I understand." This is why I love him. He's so perfect and understanding. He's too good for me. I'm a murderer. What good deed did I do to be in a relationship with one of the kindest people on planet earth?

"Thank you." Josh nods before pulling me up from the bed and taking me to the bathroom. We strip of our clothes and have a nice relaxing shower together.

I love moments like these.

A/N: if only real relationships were solved like this, the world would be a better place. Oh well, beggars can't be choosers. I'll see y'all later. Bye.

Wolf out :3
