Last Chance

06.

"We're finally here!" It was late at night and Josh pulled into the driveway of their house. 'I'm exhausted.' yawned Ginnifer. 'Me too.' Josh replied. Sam and Zoey sat quietly in the backseat. On the way they stopped at a fast food restaurant and they had a nice meal there.

Josh turned off the engine and they all got out of the car. Josh walked to the trunk and opened the door. He took Zoey and Sam's suitcases out of the trunk. Neither of them had much stuff, but the things they brought with them were very important to them.

'Look.' Josh handed one of the suitcases to Sam. 'Thank you.' Sam took her suitcase and she dragged the suitcase towards the front door. "And here's yours." Josh handed a briefcase to Zoey. Josh took the other two suitcases himself. Ginnifer closed the car door and she locked the car.

They all walked to the front door and Josh opened the door. 'We are home!' Josh shouted as he clumsily walked in with the two suitcases in his hands. The rest followed him and they walked into the living room.

"Hi guys." Sarah greeted everyone kindly. 'Hi Sarah. Did everything go well?' asked Ginnifer. Sarah nodded. "They're both asleep. Hugo was already in bed at about seven and Oliver at half past seven.' she replied. 'Very well. Glad it went well. Just go home and you can go to bed.' said Ginnifer. 'I will definitely do that.' Sarah walked to the chair and grabbed her coat. 'Have a nice evening, huh!' Sarah said hello to everyone and she and Ginnifer walked to the front door.

'So. I'm going to tidy up the guest room. Then tomorrow we will look at the rooms. It's a little too late for that now.' said Josh. Sam and Zoey nodded in agreement. "Will you join me upstairs?" asked Josh. Zoey and Sam looked at each other. "Zoey will come with you." Sam replied. Zoey frowned and looked at her sister. Josh didn't seem to notice.

"Come on Zoey!" Josh walked up the stairs with the suitcases and Zoey grabbed her suitcase and she followed him. 'You can sleep in this room tonight. I've got a mattress somewhere in the attic I'll grab it in a minute.' Josh and Zoey walked into the bedroom and set the suitcases down.

"Let's go find a mattress." Josh walked up two more floors and Zoey followed him. "You have such a big house." said Zoey softly. Josh turned and smiled. "This is your home now too."

"But for how long?" muttered Zoey. 'What did you say?' asked Josh. 'Nothing. Never mind.' Zoey sighed and she and Josh walked on. They arrived in the attic and Josh looked around the attic searchingly. There was a lot of stuff. "There's the mattress." Zoey pointed to the mattress. 'Yes. Well done!' Josh walked over to the mattress and picked it up. 'There's another duvet and a fitted sheet in that cupboard. Can you get it?' he asked Zoey. 'Yes.' Zoey went to the closet and took out a duvet and a fitted sheet.

'Top. Then all we need is a kiss.' Josh looked around the room searchingly. 'Over there.' Zoey pointed to the couch with a pillow on it. "If I didn't have you." Josh took the mattress to the couch and grabbed the pillow. 'We have everything. Let's go down.' said Josh.

'Shouldn't I help with the mattress? Offered Zoey her help. "Yeah, I think that's handy." Josh nodded. "I'll put the duvet in the guest room in advance and then I'll come and help." said Zoey. 'Good.' Josh nodded. "Maybe Ginny and Sam can help too.

Zoey went to the guest room and she put down the comforter and fitted sheet and then she went back upstairs. 'I'm back!' she cried. 'Beautiful. Then we can lift the mattress down. Zoey grabbed the mattress and along with Josh, she lifted the large mattress into the guest room.

When they got there, they put everything down and Josh made the bed. 'So. Time to go to bed.' said Josh. Zoey looked at the clock that hung in the room. It was almost half past eleven. 'The bathroom is opposite so you can change there. And if you want to take a shower, you can of course do that too.' Josh told. Zoey smiled. "Thanks Josh."
