It's been 4 weeks since the pictures of Cyrus and I were leaked on the internet and now we finally have to get back to Chicago since the new school year will start very soon. I don't know what's going to happen and I don't know how it's going to be when we get back, but I know for a fact I am not ready.

Our flight is tonight at 7 pm so all we've been doing today is hanging around the house and packing. Currently Cyrus is showering and I'm in our room packing my things. As I'm packing I start getting a call from Toni, already knowing what it's about I answer and put the phone to my ear.

"Hey girl." I say with a sigh

"Hey.. Josie it's not looking too good over here. There's talk that the school board and everyone already knows. We haven't heard anything from the school obviously but it's building up." She says with a hint of nervousness

"I don't know what we are going to do. We thought that by leaving Chicago for the summer everything would be fine, we never would have thought that someone would know us and expose us." I say sighing and sitting on the edge of the bed

"I know but Josie you went to Florida, a lot of people go there for a summer vacation. Especially young people in college." She says

"Are you saying this is our fault?" I say annoyed

"No Josie, of course not but I'm just saying Florida isn't a small place. It's popular and it's such a hot spot for summer vacation. This isn't your guys fault, but listen it's going to be okay." She says trying to comfort me

"I've been hearing that too much lately Toni, what if it's not? What if shit actually goes down? Cyrus can lose his job and I can lose my scholarship there." I say rubbing my forehead stressed

"Stop saying what if! Just stay calm okay? When you get back we will try and figure out what we can do." She says

"Unless the head of the school already has plans for Cyrus and I. They could just be there waiting for us to get back so we can get in trouble!" I say

"Josie just get some rest or something okay? I will talk to you tomorrow, I just needed to call and update you." She says sighing

"I'll try, thanks girl. Love you." I say

"Love you too." She says and hangs up

I throw my phone on the bed and lay back sighing to myself. I just know this is going to be bad, I can feel it. I lay in the bed staring up at the ceiling zoning out, as I'm just staring up at the ceiling Cyrus walks in from the shower drying his hair.

"Babe." He says trying to get my attention

"Josie?" He says again after I don't reply

"Babe!" He says loudly snapping me out of my thoughts

"Sorry baby, I was just.. zoned out. I can't stop thinking about what's going to happen." I say looking over at him sighing

"I know sweetheart. But listen, whatever happens we will be okay, alright? I won't let anything happen between us. Please don't stress so much.. please just take it easy on yourself." He says sitting besides me and putting his hands on mine

"I am taking it easy on myself." I say with a fake smile

"No you aren't Josie, I've been seeing you. You've been stressing yourself out everyday since our pictures got leaked." He says sighing

"Well one of us has to worry." I say rolling my eyes annoyed

"What does that mean?" He says looking at me weirdly
