I made it back to the centre, josh walking me there. brendon was waiting outside. when he saw us he screamed. he ran to us and lifted us up and screamed and cheered. me and josh giggled. "FINALLY!" brendon yells.

"yes!" josh smiles. "you guys need to go home" I say. "yeah. we do. I wish we could hang" brendon pouts. "same" i think josh noticed how sad I was.
"we'll think of something" josh assures me. I nodded as I walked through the gate and said bye to the boys quietly.
"stay alive bitch!" brendon yells. I turn around and laugh. "you two too!" I replied.

I walked in and immediately got surrounded. "you got a boyfriend!?" The redhead gushed. "um y-yeah"
"what's his name?" a girl called Laura asked. "j-josh" I stammered slowly.
"is he the one with the purple hair?"
"he's cute!"
"aw they're cute!"
"josh could do so much better!"
"I wish I had a boyfriend"
"I wish I was pretty enough to have a boyfriend"
"your all beautiful and will find someone"
"HEY!" red haired Lainie yelled.
"leave her alone!" she came over and pulled me by my hand upstairs.

"t-thank you" I breathed out as soon as we got upstairs. "any time babes. what's all that about?" she took my school bag off me and hung it up.
"me and josh are dating. we kissed in the bathroom after I had a panic attack and then he asked me out in maths and I kissed him and then yeah"

"you had a panic attack!? your okay now though right?" she asks me.
"yeah. he has anxiety to. he managed to calm me down and then yeah"
"aww! my baby sister has a boyfriend!"
"Lainie!" I giggled, taking my beanie off and putting it on my bed.
"I'm happy for you!" she smiled.
"anyway, lets go get dinner" she says.

the food was really good. people tried to bombard me with questions but Olivia, one the ladies who takes care of us told them to stop it. I quickly and quietly ate my food so I could head up to do homework.

I skyped josh on Lainie's laptop while I did my homework and eating jolly ranchers. I met his brother Jordan who was really nice. he was only 9 but such a sweet boy. he was quiet mature for his age to. after Jordan went me and josh talked and he made me laugh. he kept complimenting me making me blush.

Lainie had gone out to buy ice cream and she came back with two small tubs. "is that josh?" she handed me a small tub of Ben and jerrys cookie dough and a spoon. I nodded as she sat next to me. "hi josh. make sure to take care of my baby sister. if you hurt her i will break your neck. and I'm not kidding"
"I won't" he says. "has scott called?"
"boi no!" I exclaimed.
"your brother?" Lainie asked. I nodded.
"maybe he doesn't know yet" she says.
"yeah, it's been three days" right on cue, he texted me.

Brother👫💞; I just heard what happened! Which adoption centre are you in!? I'm going to visit you

Me: only on weekends

Brother👫💞: I WILL COME ON SATURDAY IM SO SORRY I WENT TO PITTSBURG

Me: lol it's okay at least you texted me now

I clicked my phone off and josh was smiling. "what?" I ask. "your cute when your focused" he giggled. "josh!"
"awww!" Lainie squealed.
