I had gotten dressed and was now downstairs in the kitchen with Josh.
"So what can I make you for lunch?" He asked me, leaning against the kitchen counter.
"Anything." I replied, sitting on the high chair swinging my legs back and forth.
He then started searching the cupboards and fridge for some food.
-------------------------------------------------
After we had had lunch, we were both sat on the couch watching a film. Then my phone started ringing. It was social services. Josh gave me a worried look.
I answered the phone. "Hello?........What!....Tomorrow?.. Where is it? But!....." I took a deep breathe. "Ok...I'll be ready."
Josh looked at me with eager eyes. "Well...what did they say?"
"I...I'm being put into care." I said, my eyes welling up with tears.
"Oh, when?" He asked.
"Tomorrow, they're going to pick me up at 12."I sighed.
"Where's the home?" He asked.
"Do you know Clarke street? They said its near Chelsea park."
"Yeah I know it, it's about 20 minutes away on a bus."
"Josh....I'm scared." I confessed.
"Oh Lauren, you'll be fine trust me." He said pulling me into a hug.
I didn't want to go. I wasn't a confident person so going to live with lots of new kids scared me.
"Come i'll go help you pack your stuff.' He said holding out his hand to help me off the sofa.
We walked upstairs and he grabbed a suitcase from in the attic and brought it into my room. I started with my clothes, neatly folding them and piling them up in the case. Then I moved on to my other things
"I'm going to miss you Lauren." Josh randomly blurted out.
"I'll miss you too." I replied. I really will.
"How's my plan of me getting you to fall in love with me going to work now?" He laughed.
I laughed too. "I don't know, but at least I can still see you when school starts again." It was 3 days till school started again.
"Yeah." He replied.
-------------------------------------------
The rest of the day seemed to be very quiet. An awkward type of quiet. Not much was said. We just lounged around the house together. Josh taught me things in his drums and guitar, and he also let me paint on a canvas on his easel.

I really was going to miss her. The last couple of days had been amazing. I keep thinking back to the kiss and how perfect it was. I had to find a way to make her mine. I had to make a plan.
