Fading Scars.

Chapter 13

Josh's P.O.V

I came back just in time for Aly yesterday. I couldn't believe she was about to kill herself. But I was lucky when I got there, I stopped her. I really hated myself. I left her alone after our fight and I also missed her Dad's funeral but I swear I had a good reason. I was checking my sisters and playing with them outside and the youngest one fell and broke her arm. So, I had to bring her at the hospital and I missed it. I did everything I could to be there but I had to stay with my sister at home when my mother arrived at the hospital. And about Gab, um yeah, Aly was right. She tried to kiss me but I pushed her away and she was acting like she didn't care about me anymore and everything. She just wanted to get on Aly's nerves by flirting with me. I didn't see it before but it was obvious. Anyways, I was awake and Aly was not and I was tired of being alone, so I made my when un the stairs and started to jump on the bed. She woke up and starting laughing a little, "Josh, what are you doing?" She asked, laughing, "I'm waking you up." I said and I stopped jumping on the bed and sat beside her, "Yeah, I kinda knew that." she said, kissing my cheek, "Good morning." I smirked and she laughed. She got up and went downstairs. I followed her and we ended up in the kitchen, "Wanna make breakfast with me?" she asked me, "Yeah sure." I replied, she smiled and took everything we need to do pancakes. I loved pancakes and she knew it. When we were cooking, I threw flour in her face, "Oh, no. You didn't!" she laughed and took flour and did the same thing. My hair was convered in white, just like my face. I laughed and took meaple sirop in my hand. Her eyes became big and it was really funny, "Josh. Calm down. Put the sirop down." she looked around her to ser if she could take something too, and she found the honey. She threw it at me first and I ran after her. Her back was full of sirop and I had honey all over my chest and face. I  caught her and hugged her, "Josh! That is so disgusting!" I was laughing and kissed her, with my face full of honey, "You put it there and now you have to take it off." I said, she laughed and kissed my lips. Her hair was all messy and full of sirop, "I really need a shower, like now." she said, "I'm going first!" I yelled and started running in the bathroom. She ran after me and jumped on my back, "You're not going there first Josh! I need my shower!" she cried and laughed. We ended up the two in the bathroom, staring at each other. "Go, I'll wai-" we said, at the same time, "No go and I'll go after." I said at her and kissed her cheek before she took my arm and turned me around, "I won't be able to take all the sirop off of my hair alone." she said, looking in my eyes, "You wanna shower with me?" I asked, she nodded and kissed mt my nose, "Are you sure? I don't want you to thin-" "Josh, I'm not ready to do it, but we can at least shower together." she laughed, I nodded and closed the bathroom door. I started to take my clothes off and Aly was staring, "Like what you see?" I teased her. She blushed and looked away. I took her face in my hands and kissed her, "Don't blush babe. I understand why you were staring, my body is just so perfect." I said and laughed because it was a joke. I didn't have the perfect body. It was covered in scars. Aly looked shy while taking her clothes off, so I turned around. She got in the shower, "Still okay with that?" I asked, she laughed, "Come on." she said and I got in the shower.

"Maybe I put too much sirop in your hair." I said, looking at her head, "I told you I would need help to take it off." she laughed and gave me the shampoo bottle, "Now wash." she giggled. I put some shampoo in my hand and put it in her hair. 

"All clean." I told her when I finished. She turned around and looked at my arms. She took one and kissed the scars on it, "Those scars are there because of me." she said, "And yours are because of me." I also told her, "No?" she said, looking at her thighs, "I wasn't there and you cut." I said, "You had to go at your house Josh. It's not like you left me alone that day. You had to." she looked at me and looked back at her scars. I looked at them too and touched one, "This one is so deep Aly. What's the story behind that scar?" I asked, putting my forehead on hers, "My mom was out of jail." she answered, "And that one?" I asked looking at her wrist, "When my dad told me he had cancer." she answered and kissed me, "How many days clean big boy?" she asked me, I laughed and answered, "14 days."  "I'm proud of you." she said and kissed me again. 

We got out of the shower and finally made breakfast. "I want to see your sisters today. I miss them." Aly suddenly said, "Yeah sure. They miss you too." I replied.  They were always talking about Aly. Maybe too much. "Can we go now?" she asked, "Why do you want to see them, now?" I asked laughing, "I don't know! Maybe we could bring them at the beach today! The weather is perfect." since when did she want to go at the beach? "Yeah, I'm sure they would like the idea." I said and got up of my chair and washed my plate and Aly's. 

"Girls are you ready?" I asked to my sisters, "Yeah!" they cheerfully said. Aly was waiting or them at the end of the staircase, "What happened to her?" she asked, looking at my sister's arm, "She broke her arm.. Saturday." I told her and she looked at the ground, "I would have understand Josh. Why didn't you tell me?" she asked, "Wait, you don't have to answer that." she laughed and took the girl's hands and we got in the car ready for a day a the beach. 

Aly was wearing a new bathsuit. Well, she was in her bikini and she bought new short long enough to hide her scars. By the way, she looked hot in a bikini. We should come here more often. "Josh come on! Come swim with us!" Aly said, taking my hand and driving me into the water. 

We had a really great time. The girls made some new friends and me and Aly were alone and enjoying our time together. I would have to enjoy every moment with Aly now. I didn't know how I would say this to her. But I know it would be hard. I didn't see this coming, but now I can't do anything about it. My mom lost her job here a few days ago and she just got a call from a work she applied to. It was one hour driving from here. She didn't know if she would take it or not. But she decided and she took the job. I was about to enjoy every second with Aly because, we were moving.
