"What's up, Avan?" I asked when I walked in the living room.

He looked up from his computer and gave me a high five "Hey, nice to see that you're alive!"

"Yeah. Just barely." I joined him on the couch while I waited for Josh to shower. "What are you working on?"

"Oh just this fundraiser we're doing in a few weeks for SBNN. I have to approve these designs and send them to Heather before 12," he answered, not taking his eyes off his screen.

"How is Heather doing these days? I should get together with her while I'm in town, I haven't seen her in a while." I put my feet up on the couch and flipped on the TV to look for highlights from the UK game.

"She's been good, she'll be around this weekend so I'm sure you'll get to see her." Avan seemed a little distracted in his work so I stopped talking.

Josh came out a few minutes later. Maybe I was still delirious, but I couldn't take my eyes off him as he pet Driver on the head and fastened the last few buttons on his shirt. He gave me the signature Josh Hutcherson half smile that made all the girls swoon, which never had an effect on me until now, and grabbed his wallet from the table.

"Ready to go?" he asked, slipping it into his back pocket and picking up his keys.

"Yeah! See you later Avan!" I waved when I got off the couch and followed Josh.

He stopped for a minute and poked his head in the living room, "Make sure you watch Driver if you let him out, he's been getting into this bird's nest in one of the bushes lately. We'll be back later on."

"Alright, I'll probably be gone before you get back, I gotta wake up Andre and meet Heather in a bit."

We were 10 minutes from my hotel when Josh pulled his phone out and started typing something on the screen. Because I didn't want to die that day, I slapped the phone out of his hands. "Joshua Ryan Hutcherson, don't you know how dangerous it is to text and drive?"

He held his hands up as if he was surrendering. "Yes, mother. It was an email from my agent. He said he has good news for me when I meet him later."

"That's great Josh! We'll have to celebrate later!"

I was surprised when Josh pulled into the parking lot and didn't just drop me off at the front door of the hotel.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"I'm going in with you. It doesn't make any sense to drop you off, go all the way home and come all the way back here in a half hour to meet with my agent."

"Ok, fine, I'll try to hurry."

When we got in my room, I picked up the bill that was slid under my door and put it with my work stuff. I pulled out the travel clothes that I packed for that day and went into the bathroom.

"I just need to shower really quick and we can go," I said, poking my head out of the door before closing it.

Josh: March 14, 2014

I grabbed a seat on the edge of the bed and pulled my phone out to finish replying to my agent. I flipped on the TV, surfing the channels while I waited for Rachael to finish showering. My phone rang in my lap a few minutes later, it was Avan.

"Hey, do you want me to feed Driver before I head out?"

"No, no, he ate earlier, it's fine." I fumbled with the buttons on the remote, adjusting the volume.

"Alright, what are you guys doing later?"

"Uh, I'm not sure actually. I'll let you know if we plan on anything though."
