I guess you could say life works in a funny kind of way. Some of the most wonderful things can happen when you least expect them to. I know this from experience. But to tell you this, I have to take you back to 2 years ago.


2 YEARS AGO

I was walking down the street with 3 of my best friends. We took a road trip from Texas to L.A. to get away from all the stress and drama surrounding us. I had just gotten out of a long relationship that was going nowhere, Sadie is getting married in 6 months and all the wedding planning was getting stressful, Natalie also just got out of relationship, and Caroline was in a rough spot with her boyfriend. Needless to say, we just needed a vacation from everyone and everything.

We were walking down Rodeo Dr. just talking and laughing and having a great time window shopping. We stopped at one store to look at these GORGEOUS shoes. They were so beautiful, I couldn't look away. The girls had started to walk off, but I looked at the shoes for another 10 seconds then turned to catch up to them, and that's when it hit me.

No literally. That's when he ran into me, knocking me flat on my butt.

"Ouch!" I looked up at the stranger who had just knocked me off of my feet. He was wearing a red baseball hat, a white v-neck, sunglasses, and some dark washed jeans.

"Oh my god! Are you OK?"

"yeah, i guess so" I said as he helped me up. Just then my friends came running over

"Kaylee! Are you OK?" Sadie asked

"Yeah, I think so" Natalie eyed the mystery guy who hit me

"you ever watch where you are going? She couldn't seriously gotten hurt! You don't even know-"

"NATALIE! It's fine it was an accident!"

"I'm really sorry. Oh no! You're bleeding!"

I looked down at my bloody elbow

"Oh its fine. I just fell back on it"

"Here, let's go see if this store has a first aid kit"

" OK"

"Kaylee we will wait right here"

Ironically, we walked into the shoe store that we were looking in moments ago. I started walking and realized, one of my sandals was broken and wouldn't stay on my foot.

"I'll go see if they have a first aid kit"

I sat down on one of the couches, careful not to get blood from my elbow on anything. The guy came back about 2 minutes later with a first aid kit and some paper towels. He took a seat next to me and removed his sunglasses. Suddenly, I realized who had run into me. None other than Josh Hutcherson.

He started to wipe off the blood on my arm and elbow. Then he got out some alcohol to clean it off. It stung really bad.

"OOO ouch!"

"Sorry. You ok?" I looked up at him only to see that he was already looking at me.

"yeah. it just stung for a second. It feels better now."

"I'm Josh by the way"

"Kaylee"

"wow. that's a pretty name. You don't hear it too often" I immediately blushed and looked down and my feet. I then remembered my sandals.

"darn! These are the only ones I have for today. I'll have to buy a new pair"

he followed my gaze down as he put a band aid on my elbow.
