Chapter 16
(Josh's point of view)
Her smile lit me up from the inside out.
Jinx had been with us for 3 weeks now and each day she was getting better.
Right now her, her friend Shay, and I were playing tag in my backyard. I was it and I guess you could say that right now i was, well, chasing girls.
I was never a big fan of the game tag but when I had seen how excited Jinx and Shay got when the idea of the game came up I couldnt help but give in.
Anything that made Jinx smile was fine with me. So I continued after Jinx as she ran with her hair streaming behind, and her laughter filtered to my ears. Given the circumstances of where all this came about, it was already shaping up to be an amazing summer.
(Jinx's point of view)
Oh no! I just tagged Josh and ran away as quickly as I possibly could.
"Enjoy it while you can." My smile faltered at the intrusion and so did my running speed.
Just then Shay zoomed past me laughing, "Hurry up he's gaining!" She squealed before veering to the left. My smile reappeared. "Oh dont worry. I will." I thought back to him as I veered the opposite direction from Shay. Somehow I just knew he could hear me.
"Now you have to choose one of us!" I yelled over my shoulder at Josh. I ran quickly into the forest which was still in my opinion, part of his massive yard. It was the border of it at least, so that counted in my book.
I snuck a glance over my shoulder and saw that he had chosen to chase after me. I squealed and picked up my speed as I ducked and weaved between trees. After awhile of running I began to tire and I snuck another glance over my shoulder in hopes I could stop running. He was no where to be seen. I slowed down to a walk and then to a stop. I looked around turning in a complete circle which I immediately regretted.
"Crap."
I had absolutely no idea whatsoever where I was. This seemed to be a reoccurring theme for me. I hated being jinxed. So annoying at times. "I am so stupid.... and to top it all off i have no idea where Jo-- AAAHHH!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as something jumped onto me and grabbed me from behind.
