The Exception

24

Joshua's POV:

I finally finished class. Yes, freedom! But I saw a girl looking really upset, hang on what that Olivia?!

I decided to hide quickly, she looked really upset. No wonder why she doesn't have a Disney Plus account.

Maybe I should talk to her about it, no, she's stressed and she probably doesn't want to see me right now. But this lady is really getting on my nerves!

"Don't you dare talk to Olivia like that!" I yelled before Olivia starts crying slightly.

"Oh, are you another friend of Olivia's?!

"Josh, just leave!" I heard Olivia say before I hugged her lightly.

"Yes, I am and who are you?!" I asked a bit abruptly.

"I'm Olivia mother and we were just leaving!" I could see her try and pull Olivia's wrist so I smacked it.

"You are not going to hurt her, not on my watch!" I said before looking at Olivia who had her arms wrapped around me.

"Josh, you don't have to do this!" I heard Olivia say before looking up at me nervously.

"But I want to Liv, you don't deserve this, no one does!" I saw her smile which made me smile.

"Come on Liv, let's go!"

Olivia's POV:

I have never seen this side to Josh before. It was nice to see how much he cares about me!

"Liv, please, I want to know what happened!" I looked at Josh nervously.

No one knows what I have been through, no one knows how much things are concerning me at home but Josh is. He knows and hopefully he understands!

"It's my mom, she's far too controlling and I can't live my own life, she wants me to get into teaching when I want to get into fashion or acting!"

"Wait, so, she is forcing you?"

"I guess so!"

"Liv, this is not ok, you are being pressured and told, by your own mother, to do stuff that you don't want to do!" Josh said making me look him in the eyes.

"It isn't that bad!"

"Really, because the last thing I remember is her putting her hand on your wrist!"

"Josh, please don't tell anyone about this, nobody else knows other than you!"

"I don't know if I can keep something like this a secret!"

"Please Josh, I'm begging you!" I said nervously.

"Fine, but you have to do something in return!" I looked at him confused.

"You have to pretend to be my girlfriend!"

Teehee, we might be be getting them together. Also, who hates Liv's mom, I know I do. Ok, this is a bit of a weird question, do you prefer cats or dogs?!
