SEQUAL TO FIGHT FOR SOMETHING

*Hope pov*
I sat on the stone steps that led to Josh's house. Its a really nice day out today. Nicer than usual. Its actually not raining for once. Josh's dad is waiting in the car with the trunk open and the engine running. Yup, Josh's leaving today. For rehab, that is. I'm not sure exactly how long he's going away for but I think it's for two months or so, maybe more. Faith is in the hospital now for about two, maybe three weeks which sucks but she'll get better.
It's gonna suck without Faith and Josh here.
Josh went to the hospital earlier today to say bye to Faith. I can't imagine how crazy her life is right now. It must be nuts.
"Are you gonna move your ass or what?" I looked behind me and Josh was standing there with a huge gym bag in his hand, containing all his belongings. I laughed.
"Oh, yea." I moved my butt to the side of the stone step.
"I'll be right back." I watched him go to the car and throw his bag in the trunk then close it with a slam. He looks really stressed out. I mean, I understand because there's a lot of shit going on, but it makes me sad. For a long time now he's had bags under his eyes, he's been silent, twitchy... Just a big mess.
Something hit my back and I turned around. Matt came out of the Ramsay's house with a backpack in his hand.
"Oh, didn't see you there." He said sarcastically.
"Ha ha." I glared at him and Matt smiled. I watched him go over to Josh and he passed him the backpack. They started talking and it looked like the subject was serious and not just a goodbye. Matt looked shocked and confused.
Excellent. Another thing I need to worry about probably.
Matt's been pretty good. Same old cute Matt. Always happy and chipper and keeping the fire alive and burning.
Josh continued to talk and Matt just listened. He nodded and they gave each other a hug, patting each other on the back. The bro hug. I stood from the steps and went over to them.
"Ok, ok, break it up." I said and they let go of each other.
"Come here you little ass wipe." He grabbed my arm and tugged me into a hug, practically choked me to death.
"I'm going to miss you." I mumbled.
"Yea, sure you will." Josh said sarcastically. I pulled away from him and smacked his chest.
"Oh, shut up." He smiled.
"I'll see you guys later." I nodded and gave him a small smile. Josh looked at Matt and nodded slightly. We watched as Josh got into the passenger side of the car.
I'm gonna miss that douche.
I sighed and looked up at Matt as the car drove away.
"What was that all about?" I asked.
"Huh, oh, what?" He paused. "Nothing."
"Wow you sounded so believable just there." Matt smiled.
"Want ice cream? My treat." He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and I chuckled.
"Only if you're buying, then sure."
