A Player's Responsibility

Josh's view chapter 5: page 5

 I received a text from Michael telling me I had just a month left for our bet. And I immediately deleted the text. Shortly after I was shock to see that josh dad was calling me. I answered and we talk, he told me that sally was coping well and she was on the edge of a breakdown, and I should please talk to her as I’m the only person she’ll listen to. I was really worried and concerned and got some flowers and went over there immediately. I was surprised when sally dad opened the door and sent me to her room, (he had never let me go to her room before, ever!). I knock she answer and I went in and gave her the flowers he took them and thanked me for them and I could see she had been cry, from her red and swollen eyes. I couldn’t help but notice how organised and girly it was and it smelt of lilies in her room. “Hey, baby, are you okay? You dad called me and told me everything”.  She shrugged and said she didn’t feel like talking, but I was persistent. “I can’t let you risk everything for me; I can’t keep letting you play nurse to my mom, while your grade suffers.  You are the smartest, gorgeous, strongest and the most beautiful girl I’ve ever know since my seventeen years of existence, I can’t let you risk everything for me. I said stroking her beautiful brown her as she lay down on the bed. “I’m not risking anything, I could easily make up the grade, is a stupid maths exam!.....” She wanted to keep going but I interrupted her “I can’t let you keep taking care of my sick mom and helping me, you got a lot to worry about, you don’t have to take the weight of the world on your shoulders”. She looked me at me and then kissed me on the cheek. “josh I’ve heard you, thanks for coming, but I’m fine and I just wish to be left alone”. I got to the message so I got up and was about to leave, still determined to talk to her later when she’s calmed down. But something came over me and I went up to her and we began to kiss then sudden it escalated and I began to take her bra off. “I told you we won’t be having sex josh, I think you should leave and let pretend this never happened” she said sternly and I was ashamed and quickly got up and left.
