All You Had To Do Was Stay // Tree of Love

Chapter 4

As we made it to the cafeteria, we walked quickly to our seats. I saw someone is sitting in our seats, its Josh, and another guy. I can't tell who's the guy is because as we're getting closer, he gets up and leave our seats.

"Look who I found today." Karen said to Josh, standing in front of our table.

He looks up from the table and saw me. He looks so surprised, his mouth opened but then covered it up with a big smile. He stand up.

"Shay! You're back!" He came to me and hugged me, spinning me around. "I've missed you like hell."

"I could see that." I said, he holds me too tight until I can't breathe. "Uh Josh, I can't breathe."

"Oh sorry." He said putting me down, but still holding me, this time not too tight.

"I've missed you too. You're the only brother that I have." I said to him, hugging him back.

He answered with giving me a peck on my cheek. "Come sit down." He said to me, I sat down next to him, Karen in front of me. "Why don't you tell me that you're back?" He added.

"Same." Karen joined him.

"Gosh I'm so sorry, actually I just got back from London 2 days ago. And I can't seem to fix my bed time again. So I spent the whole weekend in my room. And I thought it would be a good surprise for you both." I explained.

"Well at least you informed us." Karen said to me.

I respond her with cheeky smile, she rolled her eyes. "I'm not sure when I was going to be back, so its better not to gets your hopes up." I added.

"That's make sense though." Josh replied, Karen nodded.

"So tell me about London, are you a British girl now?" He joked.

I laughed, shaking my head. "What do you want me to tell you guys about London?" I asked them because I don't even know where to start.

"Umm, the rehab?" Josh asked me, Karen glaring at him. "Uh sorry. I'm just so curious about it." He added.

"Haha guys that's fine. Its good I think. It was hard at first but now I'm here so that I've got through. I love London anyway, it was a great city." I told them with a smile.

"Good to know that, did you make friends?" Josh asked me.

"Yeah I did. I have a few friends at the rehabilitation, and three in the school. They're all so nice to me which is a good thing." I answered him. I did make a few friends, the nicest is Luke, Lucy and Joel.

"Who's better? Us or them?" Karen asked me.

I laughed at her question. "You guys are so funny, you know that you guys are the best. You both know all of my secrets. There's nothing big that they've known about me. Only a depressive girl with a depressing life that's all."

"No don't say that." Karen told me.

"So how was school? What's new?" I asked them, changing the subject.

"Well not much, still lame, partying and stuffs. Nothing really interesting, but Adam is now dating Rachel." Karen said to me.

"No way." I said to her. Adam is now dating a girl? I can't believe one of Brody friends is having a girlfriend. They're always like hooking up with random girls.

"Way way." Josh said.

"Since when? Like real dating?"

"November I think? I don't really know, around that month." Karen answered.
