Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 387

Allison lay in bed, tossing and turning, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts. Eventually, she picked up her phone and shot Joshua a quick text.

"Thinking of you."

She stared at the screen, waiting, but nothing came back.

Was he asleep? Or caught up in the Fisher family chaos?

Allison let out a deep sigh, feeling a heavy weight settle in her chest. She wouldn't say it out loud, but she knew she hadn't completely moved on from Joshua. Given everything happening with his family, her worries for him only grew.

He must be feeling so lost.

It was almost dawn by the time sleep finally tugged at her eyelids. Just as she was drifting off, her phone screen lit up.

Joshua had replied.

"I'm okay, try to get some rest."

Allison read the message, but her concern didn't ease one bit.

How could he be okay? He'd just lost his dad and grandma.

She wanted to say something comforting.

Rubbing her eyes to wake herself up a bit more, she typed.

Deleted again, one word at a time.

In the end, she left it unsaid.

Nothing seemed enough.

Exhaustion swept over her, and Allison finally let her eyes close, phone still in hand.

In her dreams, she saw a little boy watching his father hold another child, his eyes filled with sadness and longing.

She approached, recognizing the boy's eyes—they were just like Joshua's.

"Joshua..." she murmured.

The boy hung his head, dejected, whispering, "But I'm his son too..."

A dull ache spread through her chest.

She gently touched the boy's head, whispering, "It's okay, you'll find someone who loves you deeply, someone who will be your rescue."

The boy looked up at her, "Is that someone you?"
