"Hey," someone said, placing their hand on my shoulder.
I turned around to see Josh. I gave him a huge hug and he kissed my forehead.
"How come your out?" He asked, "So, how come you can come out here but you can't come and see me?"
I sighed,"Josh please, you don't understand."
I explained to him that I actually turned up but his brother lied to him.
Josh just gawped, stunned by what his brother had done to him.
"That's harsh," was all he could say.
"I know," I said back.
We walked down back to his house and he let me come inside.
"We can finally make up for the time we lost," He winked.
I smiled at him as he led me up the stairs and into his room.
"So this is what it looks like," I said stunned.
"I just have to go to the loo babe. I'll be right back," He said, walking towards the huge bathroom.
I saw something poking out from under his bed. I knew he wouldn't be back just yet so I pulled whatever it was from under the bed.
At first I couldn't make out what it was but then I turned it around.
"Omggg," I said as I realised what it was.
It was a drawing of me.
"You found something you like?" He smiled, "Show me what you've found babe."
I turned the drawing around and I could tell that he didn't want me to if found this.
"I love you Hol," he said kissing my neck.
"I love you too Joshie," I smiled.

I don't even know what happened but all I know now is that I am lying in bed with him.
I could tell he was fast asleep as I kept hearing little snores. I didn't want to wake him up, but I also knew that I had to be getting off back home.
I climbed over him, being careful not to nudge him.
"Huh?" Josh said in a tired voice.
"Go back to sleep. Sleeping beauty," I smiled.
He sat up in bed and ruffled my hair.
"Oy, that took me ages to get it like that."
"What? The bed look?" He smirked.
"Yeah! It took me all night to get it looking as good as this!"
He pulled me into his lap and we starting kissing.
"Josh?" I heard a very tired voice say.
"What?" He hissed.
Jack walked into the room and saw me sitting on his lap.
"Did I interrupt something?" He smirked.
"There would be nothing to interrupt if you wouldn't of lied to me," Josh said angrily, "I still can't believe that you would have the guts to lie to me!"
His older brother just smiled and walked away from the door.
"You could close it behind you."
"I'll do it," I stood up and closed the door.
"I hate him sometimes," Josh said.
"So do I! But Sophie doesn't," I didn't even know what I said but when I did It was too late to take it back.
"Sophie what!?" Josh raised his voice.
I bowed my head,"SophielikesJack," I said quickly so he couldn't understand me.
"Slower."
"Sophie..Likes...Jack," I said, over exaggerating on the slowness.
"Oh," Was what came out of his mouth.
"We should hook them up," I joked.
"He would like that," He frowned, "But he likes someone else."
"But." He continued, "I do know someone that likes her!"
"Who Who Who??" I begged him tell me.
"Frankie Pearson."
My jaw just dropped.
Frankie was Sophie's number one crush. She would be over the moon if I told her that he liked her.
"You can't tell her," He said seriously, "You promise me you won't Hollie."
I pinkie promised that I wouldn't.
I knew I couldn't break a promise with him. All the trust we had would just break. I had to keep this from Sophie just a little bit longer. Maybe until Josh said it was okay.

"Goodbye then," Josh said kissing me on the lips.
"Bye Josh," I kissed him back, "See you at school tomorrow."
I opened up the front door and let myself in.
"Hey Brianna."
She ran up to me and hugged me tightly. Her eyes were red and her arms had bruises all down them.
"Brianna!" I said, lifting her up into my arms, "What happened to your arms!?"
"It's Jonnie!" She cried.
Just then a strong man with a bright red face stormed past us and out of the house. Followed by Mum crying.
"Mum?" I said, "Who's Jonnie? And what's he done?!"
"I love him!" She cried.
She had obviously been drinking again.
I text Sophie, asking if me and Brianna could stay over for a couple of nights. She said sure and that her mum said it was fine.
"Come on Brianna, we are going to see Auntie Clare."
Brianna has always called Clare an Auntie, even though she's not.
Clare didn't mind, she found it cute.

Soon enough, we had packed a suit case to share and one of my big handbags with some toys in.
"Wait," said Brianna, "I need Pinky and Poe,"
Pinkie and Poe were her two favourite horses, they were plastic toys and she had to take them everywhere she went.
"Okay," I said.
She ran and grabbed them from her bed and came out with her blanket too.
"I also needed Blankie."
Blankie was supposed to be a blanket that Nana made her. It turned out to be rags, but Brianna loved it anyway.
"Come on now Brianna," I said, pulling the cases down the stairs.
Brianna seemed to be happy about going to stay with Auntie Clare and Sophie but somehow I couldn't put a smile on my face.
This Jonnie person had hurt my sister and he had obviously hurt my mum's feelings.
I felt I had to say goodbye to her and tell her that we wouldn't be gone for long.
"My babies," She cried hysterically.
"Mum calm down. I'll look after her!" I reassured her, "We're only going to spend a few nights at Sophie's."
She calmed down a bit and waved us out of the house.
I knew that I looked weird hauling suitcases down the road but I didn't care.

Thank you for reading this chapter. I'm so excited to write the next one!

What do you think is going to happen?

Do you like the sound of this Jonnie?

And I wonder why he hurt Brianna.

I wonder if Frankie really likes Sophie?

Or if this is just one of Jacks games?
