Hate is a passionate Emotion ( Completed)

Chapter 22

Chapter 22

I brought one leg out of the car and then paused. The door was slowly closing and Josh hurried to keep it from crushing my foot. My head was spinning and my eyes began to water. My hands were shaking and I grip the door handle tightly. I saw Josh kneel down and prop himself up with his heels on his thighs. He grabbed my free hand and looked at me with concern.

" What's wrong Cari? Can you move?" Josh asked me.

" Yeah I just... Don't feel good. I need to lay down." I said. I wanted to just go back to bed in his car. The seat was so comfortable and I felt so much better lying down.

" Come on. Your bed will be allot more comfortable." He helped me up and out of his car. His warm arms wrapped around my waist to support me and led me up to my porch. My feet felt like jello and I fell out of Josh's grasp. I hit my back against the wall and let out an agonizing yell.

" Cari!" Josh yelled. He leaned down and tried to let me down easy onto the ground.

" Come on Cari. We need to get you in bed and maybe get you some aspirin." He said calmly. I gave a weak smile and tried to get up. It was much easier with Josh's help and soon I was laying in my soft bed wrapped in a plush blanket.

Josh knocked gingerly on my door and slowly opened it. I felt much better then I did before aside from the headache. Josh handed me a glass of water and two aspirins. I took the bluish green tablets and popped them into my mouth. I gulped down the water and set it on my nightstand.

" Thanks." I said, appreciating what he was doing for me.

" Your welcome..." He drifted off slowly and looked away from me. I tilted my head in confusion and nudged him.

" What's wrong?" I asked.

" It's just weird you know. All this time, three years it's been since we've been together like this and you getting sick is what makes it possible." He confessed.

" I'm not sick. I feel much better actually and I'm glad that you were there to help me. If anyone else had brought me they would have just left me there." I reassured him. He looked back at me and smiled.

" Well then... I have some questions." He stated. I pulled the covered away from me and stood up.

" I'll let you ask then in the kitchen cause I'm starving." I said.

I wobbled just a bit down the stairs but I felt way better. I walked into the kitchen and rummaged through the refrigerator. I pulled out the ingredients to make a sandwich and went to the pantry to grab the bread. I set everything down on the table and sat down.

" You want one?" I asked Josh. He nodded his head and sat close beside me. I opened the bread and pulled out four slices. I stacked them in sets of two and began placing the cheese, ham, and lettuce. I reached for the mayo but Josh snatched it away.

" Give it." I demanded. He shook his head and ran upstairs. I groaned and run upstairs to get my mayo. I ran into my room and saw a large lump under all my blankets. I rolled my eyes, walked over, and pulled the sheets off of Josh. He looked at me in mock surprise and jumped up.

" I thought that hiding place was good enough!" He shouted. I gave a laugh and reached for the mayo in his hand. He snatched it away and put it under the pillow. He jumped onto the bed and sat on the pillow.

" Dude I sleep on that." I said in disgust.

" I know." He grinned. I shrugged my shouldered and turned to walk away. I took one step and his arms wrapped around my stomach. He pulled me onto the bed and grinder his knuckles into my hair.

" Noooooggggiiieee!" He yelled. I tried to escape his grasp but all I could do was writhe around and groan in pain.

" Stop that hurts! Ugh your so immature." I threw my hand back and collided with skin. Josh released me immediately and I ran out of the room.

" You don't want the mayo!" He yelled.

" Not anymore! I just want my sandwich." I walked into the kitchen and finished making the sandwich, no mayo necessary. I put away the ingredients and started eating. Josh soon walked in. I ignored him and just continued eating.

" I'm glad you feel better. It's only been, what, three hours?" He stated. I nodded and got up to get juice.

I still didn't understand how I could be so mature like a normal eighteen year old but when I'm with Josh I act like I'm fifteen again. My relationship with Brice made me feel like an adult. We took it slow and serious. With Josh, even with our awkward moments, we act like we're still teens and don't try to be older than we really are. It was fun to act like this every once in awhile. It felt nice to just relax and have some fun.

I poured me and Josh some grape juice and walked back to the table. I handed it to him and sat in the seat next to him. We ate in silence. It was a bit awkward, but I could deal though. I was startled by my phone singing out from my pocket and the vibration on my thigh. I pulled it out and looked at the caller ID.

" Hey." I said. Josh looked at me questioningly but I just waved him off.

" Hey Cari. Are you okay? You weren't in class." Iris said.

" Just had a stressed day. You know how that effects me." I told her.

" So you had an anxiety attack." She pointed.

" Kinda I guess. Not as bad though. I felt better within a few hours." I said.

" Want me to come over?" She asked.

" Um I kinda already have someone over." I hears the doorbell ring once I said that.

" Too bad. I'm already here." She said. I hung up the phone and went to the door. I unlocked it and she opened it at once.

" Come in?" I questioned. She thanked me and walked into the kitchen.

" Oh hey Josh." I quickly walked in to se an evil smile on her face. Josh seemed slightly frightened.

" It strange to think you could possibly be more violent now then freshman year." He said. Iris walked closer, step by step.

" Iris stop." I warned. She looked back and smiled sweetly.

" Oh I'll stop. I'll stop him from hurting you again." She clenched her fists and pounced towards Josh. He swiftly moved out of the way and moved the chair in front of him. Iris hit the chair instead and pushed it away.

" Stop Iris don't hurt him!" I yelled. I reached to restrain her but she dodged me and ran to punch Josh. She got him once in the jaw and again in the chest.

" Why should I!" She yelled. I knew she was serious about hurting him. Iris didn't like anyone messing with her younger cousin, even if it is just a year. My eyes began to tear up as i saw her bring up her fist, Josh helpless in a corner. I know he wouldnt harm her whether his own safety depended on it. I screamed out abruptly to stop her.

" Because I still love him!"

Okay so I,Brokenandreal, am not very good at writing Romance. I'm better at writing fantasy like the ones I have on my account. Sennee approves of the way I write though so I guess it can't be all that bad. Hope you enjoy :)
