A Hard Fall ( Josh Hutcherson)

The first night.

Allison's POV:

I have been having nightmares lately... Most of them are about drowning in a tank, watching my family and friends die in front of me, and being in a small box that gets tinier each time I inhale. I really hope that Josh won't have to find out...

We start blowing up my mattress, and I realize how big my room is. A canopy for my bed, purple walls filled with my drawings and pictures, a vanity, dresser, keyboard, and storage containers. Wow. Its huge.

It takes about 5 minutes to blow it up, but it is getting late. So we both get changed. He goes in my bathroom while I am in my room. I start to change fast since boys are faster, and Josh must have been like lightning. He comes out of the bathroom, and I shriek, Being in only my underwear and bra. He stares for a minute while I stumble for the bed sheet.

"JOSH! What the hell! You changed in like 5 seconds! You could give me some time to change too!" I yell as loud as I can without anyone in the house being able to hear me. He finally snaps out of his daze.

"Oh... Sorry Allison. I guess that was a little fast...." His face gets bright red.

"Well don't just stand there! Oh godddd... go back into the bathroom while I finish." My finger flying towards the way of the door. I hear him mumble something, and the door closes.

Now it is about 9 P.M., and I can tell Josh is still embarrassed from what happened.

"I'm sorry I yelled, Josh. You scared the crap out of me."

"It's fine. I should have waited."

We sat on my bed for a while. We talked about nothing in particular, and he watched me draw. It was finally like when we were kids. After about 2 hours, I got really tired but wanted to finish drawing him, as he requested, but ended up falling asleep in his lap. I think he carried me back to my mattress because I could feel a blanket on me and the puff of the air inside the mattress.

++++++++++++++++++++++++

I am in a cage of some sort. It's cold and dusty. Where am I? The darkness is all I can see, but I feel the cold metal floor on my bare feet, I'm still in my PJ's. Wait... Where's Josh???

Lights turn on. They are bright and hurt my eyes. In front of me, I see Josh. Good. But.. He's stressed. He's still. I get a better look, and see that he has been tied to restraints...pushed to a piece of metal... Uh oh. Whats going on??? I start to run to him, but I don't get far since I'm in a cell or something, it does look like a prison cell. Josh seems to be beat up. Bloody lip, black eye. I start screaming his name, and he tries to say mine though the cloth over his mouth. Then, a shadowy tall figure walks, or floats, toward us.
He has a gun.

Josh's POV:

I walk upstairs to help Allison blow up her mattress. It only takes about 5 minutes, so we both grab our PJ's and I go into her bathroom, which is in her room. It dosen't take long for me to change... I actually change quickly because I just want to get back to talking to Allison. I walk out, hear a scream, and I freeze. I might have changed too quickly. She is still in her bra and underwear... And fumbles for the bed sheet.

"JOSH! What the hell! You changed in like 5 seconds! You could give me some time to change too!" She yells. Oh god... I was staring at her. I snap out of my daze and notice she screamed pretty loudly. I hope nobody heard that.

"Oh... Sorry Allison. I guess that was a little fast...." I can tell my face is bright red.

"Well don't just stand there! Oh godddd... Just go back into the bathroom while I finish." Her finger flying towards the way of the door. I say to myself wow. I have seen her change when we were like 5, and 8, 4 times... Jeez.and I close the door.

++++++++++++++++++++

Its like 9, and I still can't get over what happened.

I'm sorry I yelled, Josh. You scared the crap out of me."

"It's fine. I should have waited."

We sat on her bed for a while. We talked about nothing in particular, and I got her to draw me. She was so good at it. It was finally like when we were kids. After about 2 hours, I could see Allison was getting really tired, but she kept awake for a while, drawing me. She ended up falling asleep on my lap. I carried her back to her mattress and wrapped the blanket around her.

"I love you" I whispered and walked back to her bed.
