My Invisible Friends (Imaginary But Real) 3

Joseph Makes An Entrance

May 31

Erica doesn't think Madeline likes her or Mary-Anne very much because I was hanging out with them more than her. But she's done it, too, when she has had new friends. Madeline will be ok. She just needs to let me get to know my new friends first and then I will hang out with just her. She's my best friend.

When Mrs. Marla, Mary-Anne, Erica, Jadyn, and I met Madeline in the driveway to go to dinner, I said hi to Madeline and then Mary-Anne and I began to run ahead again. Madeline honestly didn't seem too happy about that. But Mary-Anne and I are trying to lose weight and we have to run.

When we got to the house, Smart House was on so I was watching it with Erica and Mary-Anne, who grew up watching it. We were also sitting with Monica and Mrs. Marla. When we got done with dinner because my neighbor was ready to take me grocery shopping, Madeline said goodbye to Jadyn and that she'd had fun eating with her, but she didn't say anything to the rest of us, probably because she and Jadyn had eaten in a different room than us. (There wasn't more room in the living room for them.) Still, Mary-Anne was a little put off.

Mrs. Marla, Erica, Mary-Anne, Jadyn, my neighbor Mrs. Diane, and I went to Kroger. It took us an hour to find olive bread, which Erica thought was pretty funny. We gave up and went home with the rest of the groceries. That was when everyone but me left for showers and after I was out of the shower, Joseph showed up. I heard him come in. So when he got near the bedroom I was in, I shut the door and he was like, "Aw, come on, don't be like that."

I knew he'd be coming since Brienna had been talking to him, but I wasn't sure I wanted him to come into my room yet. Of course, he kept knocking on the door and asking me to let him in. Then he hit it kind of hard. "Let me in!" Then he tricked me into thinking everyone else was home! I came out and he said, "There you are."

When the others did start coming home, Joseph came in the bedroom with me and actually gave me a back massage, promising he wouldn't do anything I wasn't comfortable with. Now Ms. Dolly is p*ssed off that he was in the bedroom with me the whole time, and I really don't blame her after everything that happened. I told her not to say anything to him until I talked to her first.
