Lovers Curse

Chapter 5

"Wow, your house is so pretty." Rose gasped. Josh blushed. "Josh can show you to your room." Josh's dad said. "Ok." Rose said, blushing. "Let's go." Josh said. "This is your room, I know it's not much but-" he started. "I love it! Thank you so much for your hospitality and kindness." Rose said. They have no idea who I'm running from. She thought. "So, well, what's your life like, you know, back in England?" Josh said. "Nothing much. My fathers a jerk, I never knew my mother, and my sister is-well, she's- she's-dead." Rose said quickly, holding back tears. "Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that." Josh said. "It's ok, I just, well, you're just so lucky to have the father you have." Rose said, as she sat down on the bed. "You are welcome to stay as long as you want." Josh said, as he sat down next to her. Rose looked over at Josh, and Josh looked back. Her eyes are so beautiful, I wish she could be mine, but as pretty as she is, she probably has a boyfriend. Josh thought. "Josh! Can you come here for a second?" Josh's father yelled. "Coming! I'll be back." Josh said to Rose. Josh walked away. "You like her, don't you?" Josh's father asked. "Pfft. No." Josh said. His father looked at him with an accusing look. "Ok, yes. Yes, I like her. Happy?" Josh said. His father smiled, and walked away. Meanwhile Rose was just sitting on her bed, looking out the window. "I'm back." Someone said. The door closed. It was the devil.
