Storm's POV

As sad songs play in the dark, I rest my head into my pillow. Well this sucks! Josh isn't talking to me and I don't know what to do. I talked to Caleb and he said just to give him time. I did as told. I gave him 3 days. Storm really? How much time does he need? Not the whole year. I came to conclusion that I need to see it in his perspective. I honestly don't blame him for the way he's been treating me. I honestly would've done the same if the tables were turned.

"Girl why does it look so dark in here? You look like one of those girls from the Disney movies after a heart break" Star jokes and I groan into my pillow. I feel her sit on my bed so I turn around and see her and Jalen.

"Hey Stormy" he says and sits across from me and Storm.

"Hey J, you came from training?" I ask him and he nods.

"We came to check on you because you're acting like the victim" Star says and I give her an annoyed look.

"Wow thanks Star" I say and roll my eyes.

"Look you made a mistake. Big deal, the world isn't ending. Josh will eventually get over it and everything will be fine. You can't be sulking in your room in the dark being all sad. You're the one that messed up" She says and I sigh. I really didn't wanna hear it, but she's right.

"Ok I get it Star. Thank you" I say and she smiles.

"You're welcome" she says.

"Well we didn't come in here to lecture you. We came to get you because we are all going out to eat. So get ready, dress casual" Jalen says and I nod. They both get up and leave my room, closing the door. As much as I didn't wanna get out of bed, I was hungry.

I get up and go to my closet since I already took a shower. I grab a white t shirt and these graffiti designed jeans. They were customized for me and had my name on it. I then put my hair up in a messy bun and just do my eyebrows. I don't feel like wearing makeup and lashes today. I put on my red 1s and grab my phone and bag. Oh wait my necklace. I grab it and put it on, also spray perfume on myself. Once I'm done, I take one last look in the mirror and then head to the living room.

"I like your jeans. those are bomb"Jalen says and Star nods agreeing.

"Thank you. Let's go" I say and they both get up. We walk out and head to Jalen's car. I sit in the back seat and look out the window while him and Star have conversation.

We drive for about 20 minutes until we reach the restaurant. We get out the car and I walk behind them. We walk to the table and I see Mikey, Luzzy, Shareef, Shaqir, Sharife, and Josh. Great..just great.

"Hey guys" Luzzy says and stands to hug us. I share hugs with everyone, but Josh. He just sits there on his phone, but he said hey to Jalen and Star. Ouch.

Everyone sits down and I look at the last seat, it's beside Luzzy. Yes! But then it's across Josh. Ugh....

I sit down and go on my phone. This is going to be awkward. As everyone talks, my phone buzzes and I see a message from Luzzy.

I look over at Luzzy and she gives me a small smile. Soon enough a waitress comes over. Once she sees the boys, she gasps and fixes her hair. Oh boy....

"Hi I'm such a big fan!" she says and they smile at her. I look at her and see her eyes glued to Josh. Oh this is gonna be a long evening.

"So what can I get you guys?" she asked and takes out her notepad. Everyone says there order until it's my turn.

"Can I have-"

"Wait your turn" she says to me and turns to Josh. Did she just-ok.....

"I'll have the chicken pasta, with the side of garlic bread" he says and she nods winking at him. This girl.... she then turns to me and gives me a stank look. Are we really about to do this?

"May I have the barbecue ribs with mash potatoes, with a side of garlic bread as well" I ask her and she shrugs.

"You can't have garlic bread" she says and I squint my eyes at her.

"Why not?"

"We ran out" she says and I was about to say something until she left.

"You better say something to her before I do" Luzzy mumbles at me and I roll my eyes. I don't entertain behaviour like that. Especially from girls like her.

As we wait, I look at Josh. He looks so cute. The way he's sitting, and how his muscles flex every time his arms makes little movements, the way he pushes up his glasses on his face every now and then. Man how could've I been so stupid. He looks up from his phone and looks at me. He scans my face, then looks me up and down before licking his lips and going back onto his phone. Whew....

"Ok here we go" the girl comes back and sets all of our plates down then leaves. I look at my plate and sigh. Man, she really didn't give me bread. I'm pulled out of my thoughts when I see a piece of bread put in front of me. I look up and saw that Josh gave me his bread.

"What are you doing? This is yours" I say to him.

"You wanted it and didn't get it so have mine" he says softly. I couldn't help but blush. Awwww Joshua!

"Thank you" I say and he nods and holds back his smile. I see you Josh, you wanna smile back.

I grab a knife and cut the bread in half and give him the other piece. He looks at me and let's the smile show. I smile back and we eat.

"Awww. How cute" I hear Shaqir say at the end of table. I roll a piece of napkin into a ball and throw it at him. He laughs and throws it back at me. We eat our meals and have small talk.

Time skip

We finish our meals and might I say that was delicious. I'm definitely coming back here. The waitress comes back and I immediately roll my eyes.

"Ok, how is everyone paying?" She asked.

"Me and her" Jalen says and points to Star.

"Us three" Shareef says and points to Shaqir and Sharife.

"We're together" Luzzy says and points to Mikey.

"I'm-" I say but is cut off

"Me and her" Josh says and points to me. I give him a confused look.

"No, I'm paying sep-"

"No you're not. I'm paying for us" Josh says and gives the money to the girl. She takes everyone's money and we get up to leave.

"So where to now?" Sharife says.

"Let's go for a walk around the city" Luzzy says and we all nod. We get up and walk out the restaurant. We walk in pairs, well I'm by myself because Josh is with Sharife. Do I feel a way about it? Yes. Do I deserve this kind of treatment? Yes. I don't mind walking by myself though. Did it for many years anyway.

As I'm walking with my head down. I see a pair of feet beside. It's Josh. It's quiet until I speak up.

"Why'd you pay for my meal?" I ask him, but keep my head down.

"It's what boyfriends do no?" He says and I bite the inside of my cheek trying to hide my smile. Not gonna lie, when he made that comment telling me to go be with Melo, I thought we were kinda done. That's what really made me feel sad, because I felt like wow, a situation like this would really end us? But now I know it didn't and that makes me feel relieved.

"Well thank you" I say, but he doesn't say anything.

"Josh, I really am sorry" I say and look up at him. He takes a glance at me then looks down.

"I know you are" he says.

"Can you please forgive me?" I say and he sighs. I grab his hand and hold it.

"Storm, you really hurt me with this one. I never felt that kind of pain before, especially from a girlfriend. But being with you has taught me that sometimes we have to grow past things to make things work. And I want us to work" He says and I smile sweetly. I taught him that?

"So does that mean......." I ask and he nods.

"Yes. Come here gorgeous" he says and wraps me up in his arms. I smile and he kisses my cheek.

"Next time I won't forgive you so easily" he says.

"Oh there won't be a next time" I say and he smiles. He leans down and we share a kiss.

I got him back!
