Joshua bassett imagines/ short stories

change

no one can change if that's who they are, and no person can make someone change, unless they were never that someone in the first place.

joshua bassett- the most popular boy in school (and a proper bad boy), captain of the lacrosse team and has a voice like and angel.

me (y/n)- small friend group, sing a bit and well known for being joshua's ex best friend that he used to take baths with... yup.

so yeah we were that cringey duo who live next door to each other and our windows look into each other's rooms and had a HUGE thing for each other but would never admit it.. blah blah, well that was till about a year ago. josh got in with the populars and i was just left. i still don't quite know why this happened and i tried to fix it for months but in the end i gave up. and by gave up i mean i left my curtains closed all the time and left for school 5 minutes earlier then him so i don't see him on the way out. pathetic, i know.

buts what's even more annoying is these feelings for him aren't going away.

i don't really know what josh gets up to these days, but he's not exactly nice.

i was walking down my driveway about to get in the car till i heard someone shout my name..

"hey y/n!"

i turned around to see the one and only joshua bassett walking towards me

"ummm hi?" i said back confused
"hey um i was wondering if you could give me a lift my car kinda won't start and none of my family is home" he said with a bit of a worried tone

you laughed

"you think i'm gonna give you a lift.. you! yeah better luck next time joshy" you smiled cockily and got in the car... joshy? did i really just say joshy? you thought to yourself

he knocked on the window so you rolled it down

"come on y/n please.. just like old times yeah?" he said smiling

"old times? what the old times before you became a completely different person, stopped talking to me and fucked around with every girls feelings in our whole school? yeah not happening" you said about to roll the window back up

"wait" he stuck his hand in the car.. "well the whole reason i'm asking you for a lift is so i can talk to you, you were my best friend and i'm a complete dick now.. but i can change, i miss you" he said really fast

"yeah yeah that's what they all say. how do i know this person you have become was the person inside of you all along, no one can change if that's who they truly are josh" you said back

"y/n you know who i am deep down, your the only one who can tell my emotions by just looking at my face or into my eyes, your the only one who can help me in situations where no one else can, and your the only one who can help me through anxiety attacks and panic attacks and when i feel like i'm lost you are always there to help me. you know who i am deep down and this little thing i've got going on i don't know why i did it, i think i was just sucked in to the idea of being more popular but it's not me and you know it" he said looking upset

"well what are you gonna do about it?" you said back quite stern

"i'll walk through them school doors and i will ignore everyone, i'll walk with you and only you all day, everyday, until we leave school and then after that, i'll do whatever to make sure we don't lose what we had" he said with lots of emotion in his voice

"fine, but one mess up and i'm done" you said opening the passenger door of the car

*after school*

well... josh did exactly what he said he was going to, and i'm shocked.

"sooo was it a good day?" josh said smiling as he got into the car

"you know what.. i'm glad to have you back joshy" you said and grabbed his hand

he stared deeply into your eyes

"you know i've always liked you right" he said still staring at me

"yeah" you smiled.. "ditto"

he laughed before leaning in to kiss you, you kissed him with so much love and happiness that you missed these last few months, you pulled away and smiled before putting your seatbelt on.

"well, i didn't expect this when i woke up this morning" you laughed grabbing josh's hand and driving off home.
