-Josh's P.O.V-

(Y/N)'s eyelids once closed immediately opened wide.

"What?" She simply replies, baffled at my question.

"Uh.." I didn't know what to say.

She sat up and looked at me right in the eyes with piercing pupils.

"J-Josh are you-"

"No! Oh no I-I'm not proposing don't worry." I assure her confusion.

"Oh! P-Phew!" She nervously giggles.

"No, I-I'd probably have a more elaborate idea than that." I also chuckle back, just as nervous.

"Sorry..." She apologizes.

"You didn't do anything wrong. I was the one who worded my question weirdly." I reply back.

"S-So you mean like marriage in general or...us getting married?" She jumps back to my original statement.

"Whichever." I shrug, getting once again adjusted comfortably into the bed.

"Hmm. Well, I haven't really thought  about it. Marriage in general seems very serious to me, yanno? It's like total attachment which doesn't sound too bad but if things weren't to work out I probably wouldn't know what to do. Maybe it's because my parents split when I was so young so I just got caught up in this concept that marriage doesn't work out. But, being married to Josh Dun doesn't sound too bad." She gets closer to me.

Thank God she ended her sentence with that.

I was afraid she wouldn't be up for marriage at all.

"I'm glad you think so." I smile and gently close my eyes, finally able to fall asleep.

-Your P.O.V-

So, looks like the Josh Dun is planning on proposing to me some day.

I don't know when.

Or even how for that matter.

But, looks like he's definitely been thinking about it.

We'll see...

Eight hours later, I wake up. Josh's arms still tangled around me. His head resting sluggishly in the crook of my neck. I inhale, debating on whether to risk waking the sleepy boy in an attempt to escape or just lay until Josh wakes up.

To the right of me, I hear my phone vibrate. I look over and pick it up off the night stand, having to stretch my arm a bit.

I see a text from Victoria. Unlocking my phone, I read the message.

Remember we have the first shooting of '11:59 PM' at 8 am! Up and at em, sistah.

I groan and rub my eyelids.

Time to get out of this grasp Josh has me in.

I try my best to slither my way out of his tattooed arms and get out of the bed without being too noisy.

Success.

I give myself a pat on the back before walking over to the dresser. Josh cleared one a drawer out for me when he invited me to stay here with him. Although, I'm not technically moved in.

I grab something comfortable and easy to change out of, thinking to myself I'll probably have to quickly change outfits for the video so might as well make it easy on myself.

Following the rest of my morning routine, I check the time again before I place a tiny kiss upon Josh's temple and exit the L.A. house.

(A/N: i feel like i use black & white 'couple' gifs way too often im sorry)

I arrive at the first set for the music video only a minute before 8 o'clock and greet my older sister.

"Hey. Where's the twins?" I ask after skipping over to Victoria.

I'm a bit surprised I have more energy than usual at 8 in the morning. Maybe I'm just excited for the video.

"Not sure. I texted both of them and neither replied." Victoria answers, frowning a bit.

Victoria stresses over things like this. She hates being late to things or having to worry about events.

Wait, she texted both of them? Including Karma?

I wonder how Victoria's feeling about the whole kiss situation. I shouldn't bring it up just yet though. We have a music video to focus on.

The director comes over and tells us how the first scene is gonna go down.

"Where is the rest of the band?" She asks, her voice fast and very strict sounding.

She seemed nice however.

"They're...not here yet." I sheepishly answer.

A deep sigh leaves the director's mouth.

"That's alright, let's just shoot your shot first then." She replies, getting back on track.

Sounds good to me.

(A/N: also idk how music videos work)

"I'll be over here." Victoria points and exits behind the cameras.

One of the locations for the video was quite pretty, placed just about a mile outside of Los Angeles.

But first, makeup and hair then an outfit change.

Broken Castle was going all out for this video. I don't know why they wanted to make a video to '11:59 PM' so bad but Victoria thought it was too good to not.

The thing is though, I wrote this song about my break up with Josh and it's kind of a sadder song to me. I don't know if I'll be able to express the same emotions today as I could've maybe months ago.

Whatever, I'm sure it'll be okay.

The video was mostly centered around water, the idea was to have some cool looking shots of the band playing underwater, us individually falling into said water, etc.

It seemed interesting to me.

Although in this first scene, it's just me in a field surrounded by tall grass and dandelions. I would hold a phone in my hand and sit criss-cross. The director told me to look "lifeless" and to not move an inch.

The makeup artist made me look lifeless as well. The makeup made my lips looked chapped, my eyes heavy with bags hanging beneath, no blush to my cheeks. I think they did a pretty good job.

Same with my hair, it was all tangled and messy. A total rat's nest, no one would be able to run their fingers through.

I followed the director's directions and sat down on the ground, a wireless telephone in my hand. She wanted a voice-over of me to play in this shot with some different "aesthetic" looking angles.

Works for me.

After a few more shots, out of the corner of my eye I see Grayson and Karma Anderson running towards me.

Finally.

"Where have you two been?" I whisper-yell at them.

"Sorry we're late, somebody wasn't cooperating and getting ready on time." Grayson glares at his twin.

Karma just rolls her eyes while crossing her arms.

Okay, I need to get to the bottom of whatever has been up with Karma recently.

Later, while G is doing a scene of just him, I prance over to Karma.

"Hey, K." I greet my friend.

"Hey." She groans out a reply.

I scoff.

"What's up with you?" I blurt out.

She turns her head towards me.

"What? Nothing." She lies through her teeth.

"K, c'mon. Tell me the truth." I demand.

She bites the inside of her cheek before spitting out a rude remark.

"It's nothing. God, do you ever stay out of people's business?"

And with that, she stomped away.

Whoa. What? Where did that come from?

I sigh and get back to shooting.

Afterwards, the band was done for the day and gathered up everything.

"Good job today, (Y/N)." Grayson compliments.

"Aw, thanks. You too." I thanks him before looking over at my silent best friend.

She's been quiet all day.

"You too, Karma." I say, grabbing her attention.

"Oh. Thanks." She shrugs, not caring.

I grasp her shoulder.

"Can I talk to you?"

Her eyes move to my hand and her brows furrow.

"Whatever." She sasses.

We move away from my sister and her brother before continuing our conversation.

"Karma, please. Just tell me what's wrong." I beg of her.

"No, no. You wouldn't understand, okay?" She tries to push me away.

"Maybe I can help!" I suggest.

"No." She turns to walk away and I notice a bottle sticking out of her backpack.

I quickly grab a hold of it.

"Hey! Give that back." She claws at me but my other free hand snatches her wrist before she can retrieve it back.

"Since when do you drink so much!?" I yell.

"I don't! Give it!"

"Karma, you've been acting weird ever since that kiss with Victoria!" I interrogated.

The lilac haired girl pauses.

Uh oh.

"Y-you know about that?" She quiets down.

I take a deep breath.

"Yeah..." I confess.

"Oh." She simply replies.

"K...what's going on?" I ask once more as I place my hand delicately on her shoulder.

She looks up at me.

"I-I didn't mean to kiss her, yanno."

"What do you mean?" I reply, taken aback.

"I just got caught up in the moment. Let me explain." She sits down.

I had a feeling what Karma would say next would be more serious than I thought.

A/N: sorry! no proposal from josh yet but don't worry, i'm sure it'll happen eventually
