My house of stone, your ivy grows.
Now I'm covered in you.
Ivy is a girl who has found a family in the Kiszka's, growing up their neighbor for most of her life. She was friendly with everyone, except for Sam Kiszka. He just knew how to push her bu...
I tossed and turned all night and I'm not really sure why. Maybe it was the movie or maybe it was the fact that I can't get a certain pair of brown eyes out of my head. I know it's so stupid to be thinking of Sam in any way but platonic but I can't ignore the way my skin ignited as he grasped my hand in his. Or how nice he was to me yesterday. I'm probably just imagining it because no one can completely change in one day.
I don't know how else to cope with this situation except ignore it. I can't talk to anyone about this or it'll be blown completely out of proportion. Plus, the only people I talk to about this kind of stuff is his mom and his sister. Not a good idea. I'll just push all of these weird thoughts down until they go away.
At least that's what I think I can do until he walks out of his room wearing nothing but blue plaid pajama bottoms. He looks so good and I hate myself and my mind for even thinking that. He probably doesn't and will never see me in any way other than 'annoying Ivy'.
It truly is like something clicked overnight and now it's like he's running through my mind like a raging river.
"Mornin'," He gives me a sleepy smile and heads for the bathroom. I panic and mumble a quiet 'morning'.
"Fuck," I sigh quietly to myself. How am I going to get through the rest of this trip if I can't even handle a quick morning from him. I've got to pull myself together. I've known him for eight years now and I can not let some silly little crush get me bothered like this. I wouldn't even call it a crush, really. Just hormones and loneliness.
He exits the bathroom and doesn't speak a word to me as he walks back to his room. I quickly grab my toiletries bag and an outfit for today. I head for the bathroom and brush my teeth before combing my hair again. I put on my outfit, adding a necklace for accessories and walk out of the bathroom. I planned on wearing sneakers but it's flurrying outside a bit so I decide on my Doc's.

When I exit the bathroom, I see Danny and Sam heading up the stairs fully dressed so I grab my phone and some money before following behind them. When we get upstairs everyone is already in the living room ready. I'm not sure what for but since this is our last full day here I'm assuming we'll probably go see some of the sights.
"I was looking online and they've got some cool stuff like a mountainside roller coaster, some cute shops, and even a chairlift!" Karen announces from her spot at the kitchen table.
"I want to do the roller coaster," Jake speaks, him being the only one still in pajamas. He's sipping a cup of coffee I assume.
"Then you better go get dressed.." Kelly points out and Jake nods before standing to go up to the loft to get ready. That's when I notice a person is missing from the Kiszka group.
"Where's Josh?" I ask, knowing he always likes to be at the center of the decision making process.
"Outside," Ronnie gestures to the glass door where I see Josh standing outside looking like a dad, holding a cup of coffee and enjoying the view. I have to hold in my laugh at the sight. Walking outside with him, I shiver as the cold morning air hits my face.
