Chapter 2

 

I woke up the next morning. Looking at myself in the mirror. My picture perfect sculpted abs looked wonderful like always. I laughed at myself. I walked out to see Jessica's black hair coming out of the shower.

 

 

 

"Hey Jess! Am i giving you a ride?" She nodded her head walking into her room. I got dressed and jogged down stairs. Grabbing the box of cereal and pouring it into a cup. Jess came in doing the same thing only pouring the milk first then handing it to me.

 

 

 

 

 

"Alright were off!" I shouted down the hallway, walking outside eating my cereal Jessica right behind me doing the same.

 

 

 

We got into the car. I back out steering the car with my knee trying to finish my breakfast. I zoomed into the parking lot. Getting out and meeting my group. I put my arm around a girl and slid my other into my best friend Michaela.

 

 

 

She had dark red hair with brown eyes. I gave her a smile and walked into school. "Hey Josh!" My friend John came up giving one of those bro handshakes. I patted his back as the rest of my gang formed.

 

 

 

 We walked down the hallway acting like we were the big things. And we were no joke. I winked at a couple girls while they looked away blushing.

 

 

 

I looked ahead to see Jessica talking to some blond headed girl. She wore dark red skinny jeans and had a fitted black tee on. Michaela tugged on my arm as we turned the corner Jessica being takin' away from my view.

 

 

 

I sighed. "Alright i got to go see you later Joshy." Michaella emphasized the nickname i hated. I laughed walking into my English class.

 

 

 

"Everyone take your seats! It’s time for class to start." Mr Bowk came in putting some folders on his desk. An hour ticked by and soon I was walking out of there my book bag slung over my shoulder. I went to all my classes almost late to all of them.

 

 

 

I walked outside school day finally over. I walked over seeing Jessica talk to that one chick again.

 

 

 

"Yeah I just can’t believe you got Tokyo Hotel concert tickets!!!" I heard Jessica exclaimed while she and the chick jumped up and down. Jessica glanced over and saw me walking her way.

 

 

 

"I'll see you later." She said while the chick walked off. Jessica strutted my way looking beautiful like always, I smiled seeing her walking toward me.

 

 

 

"You ready?" I asked opening the door and getting in.

 

 

 

We drove home in silence. I looked over to see Jessica bombing her head to the cd she put in it. I pulled up opening the door to see my step mother leaning over the counter. Her hands on her forehead.

 

 

 

"Jessica I need to talk to you." She looked over at me before looking back at Jessica. "Alone." I nodded waking half up the stairs stopping trying to listen in to their conversation.

 

 

 

"Jessica why did you try to contact her? Why?!" Clair said.

 

 

 

"Well you know if I thought me being such a bother in your life i thought it would help if i went and lived with Ashley that way you can have the perfect life!" Jessica sneered. They were talking about Jessica's older sister named Ashley.

 

 

 

After leaving her mom when she was 16 she moved to South Carolina and became a hairdresser. She was really sweet and I liked her a lot she was nothing like her family. She had curly black hair and blue eyes like Jessica's.

 

 

 

And from living in South Carolina it had caused her to become tan. She looked like a real southern girl.

 

 

 

"You’re not living with her and that is final." I heard Clair walk out. I walked down the stairs slowly to see Jessica still standing there.

 

 

 

"You okay?" I asked.

 

 

 

"Yeah." She mumbled. She pushed past me walking up the stairs.  I looked at the clock it was five. My dad should be home in thirty minutes.

 

 

 

I walked upstairs opening Jessica's door to see her on her bed looking up at the ceiling. When Jess was in her painting stage she painted her whole ceiling and it had swirls and stars it was really incredible.

 

 

 

"Do you think I should go stay with Ashley for a while?" She asked breaking the silence.

 

 

 

"Not if I can’t come with." I chuckled making her smile.

 

 

 

"I just can’t stand being here. You know?" I looked over my smile fading.

 

 

 

"Yeah." I said standing an awkward silence appearing in the room.

 

 

 

"Josh come here." She whispered sitting up. I came and sat next to her not sure what she was wanting. She stood up standing in front of me. She leaned down her lips lightly touching mine. I couldn’t move. I met her half way and are lips molded together.

 

 

 

She backed away looking away not meeting my eyes. I got up walking out the door not sure what i was going to do next.
