Love Forever. Forever Silenced?

Chapter Eight - Defeat

I had to wait now. I was at the end of the street and Josh was on his way to come pick me up. He had plans for us already, so I had been wondering if I was dressed appropriately. Oh well, as long as I was away from the people that I have to call my family then I would be fine.

While waiting I saw a girl from my school that used to be my best friend in sixth grade, Kaili. She saw me out of the corner of her eye, and turned and flipped her hair. How she used to in the sixth grade, and I couldn't help but laugh. This had made her spin and look at me, "What are you laughing about?" She yelled across the street.

"Are you talking to me now?" I asked, surprised.

"You're talking? Bayleigh, I just stopped talking to you because you stopped talking, I didn't mean for you to go mute." She sighed with guilt.

"It's fine now, I have everything I ever wanted." A smile grew on my face, ear to ear.

"Well, want to come over and hang out, catch up since you're talking?" She asked, hope in the edge of her voice.

"Actually, I am waiting for someone to come pick me up, he should be here soon." I said, looking at the clock on my phone.

"Oh," She sighed with disappointment, "who are you meeting up with?"

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you," I said, remembering what happened this morning with my sister.

"Give me a chance." She whined.

I huffed in defeat, "Josh Hutcherson."

"Really? You met Josh Hutcherson?"

"Yeah, hey shouldn't you be getting to school?" I asked.

"Oh, yeah, completely forgot. Um... I'll see you around, bye Bayleigh." She got in her car and drove away in the direction of the school.

I was glad Kaili and I were talking again, she was so nice and such a great person. Maybe I could get all my friends back, or maybe even new ones.

After waiting for ten more minutes, Josh arrived. He stepped out of the car walking toward me. I knew that Gabby hadn't left for school yet, so I took that to my advantage, "Josh, can you help me with something? Inside the house?" I asked, in my sweetest, most innocent voice.

"Of course," He smiled a bright smile.

I started to walk back to my house, we would walk in and have my sister, Gabby, see us, and get the hell out of there so he could take me wherever he wanted to take me. We both walked through the front door, "Gabby! May I speak to you for a moment?" I called throughout the house, walking up the stairs, Josh closely behind me.

I opened my bedroom door and grabbed Josh's hand, "Gabby this is Josh, Josh this is my sister, Gabby." Gabby looked shocked, paralyzed even.

I enjoyed this, very much. "Josh Hutcherson? The Josh Hutcherson? From The Hunger Games? From Zathura? From all of those movies we watched when we were younger?" She asked still in shock.

"Yes, but we must be going now. Sorry." I smiled a devious smile, walking out of my bedroom and leaving the house, walking to Josh's car.

He opened the passenger door for me, waiting until I got in, until he closed the door. I waited patiently for him to get in the car before asking him: "Josh where are we going?"

He started the car, "It is a place I love and hopefully you love, too." He smiled a happily.

This day wasn't going to be long, it was going to be the best day of my life, spent with the Josh Hutcherson.
