Summary

Nothing can keep us apart, not even death.

[A little-known pairing, this one; Josh (later known as 'Jay' in the comics as there was already a Josh at the X-Mansion) is Sam Guthrie (Cannonball)'s younger brother, and Marvel gave him a Romeo-and-Juliet storyline with a girl named Julia Cabot in the Uncanny X-Men arc She Lies With Angels...and then they threw him away when they decided to change the New X-Men: Academy X series that he'd moved over to. Josh was written increasingly out of character, and then written out entirely, very badly. I wrote this in an effort to give him a better ending, because he deserved much better than he was given.]
