Alright I saved my favorite couple for last. That's la for all the reviews. This is my first finished story! I'm so proud of myself and all the motivation I've got gotten to keep on writing, ill update other stories sounder or later don't worry. Without further ado Josh and Beth.

Snow. Snow everywhere. All you could see in our neighborhood were blankets of pure white snow. Usually it would have been these kinds of days that made me want to jump up and down and just go play with the whole world. Not today though. I, Beth Malloy, was sick in bed.

Yeah sure yesterday while we were having a snowball fight with the guys it seemed like a good idea but now I wasn't even allowed outside. I had felt warm so my mom took my temperature and she told me I had a high fever. I still don't understand how I got sick and my sisters didn't but oh well it's too late complain now, at least they were helping me out now.

"Hey Beth how are you feeling?" Eddie asked peeking her head through my door

"Not any better" I responded shuffling around in bed

"Caroline's baking some cookies for later, ill bring you some later if you want"

"No thanks, it hurts too much to eat"

"All right and hey I also wanted to tell you that you have a visitor if you're ok enough to see them"

Well that perked up my ears. Who would want to see me and especially when I'm sick? It was just probably some relative that came over for Christmas. Yeah that was probably it. Well if it was a relative then I really don't care if they saw me like this right hair was sticking up in some places. My nose was red and runny while my eyes looked red and tired. I looked extra pale and I was in my pajamas but I didn't care.

I lay in bed still shuffling, "Just let them in"

"Alright" She said to me and then I heard her whisper to them, "She says it's fine"

I covered my face up with my covers so they would be surprised when they saw me tight away. I tried my best to stay still but with all the pain I was going through. I heard them quietly come in and sit down at the edge of my bed. Great if they're going to sit that close to me then they'll see how bad I look.

"Hey Beth"

Wait a sec. That voice sounded so familiar and I know it didn't belong to a relative. I knew that voice. My eyes popped right open and I sat up without even remembering I had covered myself for some reason.

"Josh?"

"Yeah and hey you look great" he said looking at me but I saw him look a bit surprised

I wondered what he meant and remembered that I looked like a mess. My eyes widened and I reached for my covers so I could cover myself again. I was stopped though when he lay his hand on top of mine.

"No I mean it, you look great" He said not letting go my hand

I blushed and he must have noticed because I saw him laugh a bit.

"So how'd you get sick anyways, you seemed fine yesterday"

"Well I guess it was yesterday while we were playing outside in the snow, it's weird though because Eddie and Caroline didn't get sick"

"Wow must feel pretty bad to be you right now huh?"

"Not really I've been catching up on some reading and before you came I was taking a rest"

"So you don't wish even a little you could just go out in the snow and play like yesterday?" He asked

"We'll maybe I do but I'm not allowed to anyways"

He let go of my hand and for a second I was disappointed. He then put it on my forehead and I knew he was trying to see if I had a fever. Of course once he saw I had a fever he would start leaving and say that he didn't want to be near anyone that was sick or even risk the chance of getting sick himself.

"You know you've got a bit of a fever right?" He asked as if I didn't already know

"Yeah I know"

"And you aren't cold in just you pajamas?"

"Not really" I responded. Where was this going anyways?

"Well I don't think I can take that chance anyways" he said getting up and motioned me to move over a bit in my bed. I did as I was told and he put his arm over me tight and securely.

"So how's that?"

I laughed, "Better but if my parents see us like this they'll probably throw you the door themselves"

"That's a chance I'm willing to take then"

"Fine but don't think I didn't warn you when my dad starts coming at you with a chainsaw and you're against it and the wall"

He didn't answer back so I looked over at him. He was looking at me with a serious face on and I don't know what I had said wrong but it felt a bit weird with him just looking at me not saying anything.

"You're staring" I said looking at him

He stopped and just as casually said, "Yeah"

"I meant why are you staring at me?"

"Have you ever noticed how beautiful you actually are and you're always looking down at a book so no one really ever notices?"

"I don't really think I'm that beautiful, I'm just a weirdo like you had told me that first day we met, plus especially now that my hair is mixed in the wrong places and my face looks like a bad horror movie"

"The only reason I called you weirdo that day was because I'd never known any girl to just have her own style like you do, you don't care about what you read or what other people think while just about every other girl in the world does. You're amazing inside and out. Yeah you don't look as great as you always do it I can honestly say you're still the most beautiful girl in the world.

I looked at him and it looked like he was actually being honest. My blue eyes met up with his and something just felt so right.

"Hey do you mind if I give your Christmas present a bit early today?"

"Sure" I said not letting go of our gaze

He leaned in and after a while I felt his lips on my warm ones. I was enjoying it but I let go after a while after remembering something.

"Is something wrong?" He asked worried

"I forgot I'm sick, if you kiss me you'll probably get sick too"

He laughed. Bit and looked at me again, "That's another risk I'm willing to take for you"

He leaned in and kissed me again. Everything was so right and then and there I knew it was the best Christmas I'd ever had!
