Weeks went by, and I decided not to tell. I can't get over the fact that...I actually kissed him. I can't tell Ross. No way, he would be devastated. But it was an accident. But maybe it is just between Josh and I right now. Although I haven't actually talked to Josh since the kiss. What am I supposed to say? 'Oh yeah sorry, I was reflecting my emotions for Ross onto you.' No that doesn't work.

Ross had finally woken up though, and I was so glad when he did. I kept in contact with Riker the whole time. Ross wasn't allowed to use his phone, due to head injury. He couldn't talk on it either, he needed rest. As far as I knew, Ross would be out later today.

Family wise, parents were still bossy. Aiden was still annoying.

I got up for school this morning wanting the weekend to come. It was Friday and I couldn't be happier, Jenna and I were going to go dress shopping tomorrow.p for homecoming, even though I don't have a date. I still want to make it to my last homecoming dance, plus Jenna wasn't gonna let me out of it. She literally refuses to let me stay at home.

I grabbed my keys and bag, heading out the door. The school day carried on as normal, sitting there wondering when you will ever use the things you are taught everyday. The day was good, until I stopped at my locker before lunch.

"Blair we need to talk." Josh.

"I'm not talking to you." I said slamming my locker and speed walking away.

"No, please." I turned around whipping my hair in his face.

"What." I said.

"Listen I know you're mad-"

"Very."

"Ok, but I'm sorry. But you didn't feel anything between us? Ever? At all?" I loosened myself up to speak.

"Honestly, I did. Before I met Ross." I turned around and started walking again. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me into a little area by a water fountain. "Josh would you stop-!" I yelled. But then of course he cut me off to prove a point, by rudely slamming his lips onto mine. Holding me close to him. I pushed him away, right before I slapped him in the face. "Josh! What the hell?!" I whispered to him. Shaking my hand, because slapping his face kind of hurt.

"Nothing?" He asked desperately. Why does he want me so bad? The look in his eyes was so, so serious.

"No. Now just stay away from me." I said walking away.

Alright. Kissing him the first time, I'll admit I let myself kiss him. But this time, after I realized what I had done, no way. I can't be near him anymore, he just is a danger to Ross and I's relationship.

I got to our lunch table and sat down next to Jenna.

"Why are you late?" She asked me.

"I'm not la-". I looked at my watch, "I'm late." I ignored answering why I was late.

The lunch was normal, or relatively normal. Josh passed our table, making eye contact with me. Then came the interesting part of lunch. Alex decided he would stand up on the table and ask Leah to homecoming. Of course she said yes, and everyone clapped.

"Who are you going with?" Jenna asked me.

"No one."

"Good." She confirmed to herself.

"What? Why good?" I was confused.

"No reason, just safer for your relationship with Ross." She was acting weird.

"Oh..ok..?" I said, and with that lunch ended, I finished my day, then went home.

I was finishing up my homework when I got a call, from a number I hadn't been able to see in a while.

"Ross!" I didn't wait for him to answer. "How are you? Are you feeling ok? Did you leave the hospital? Did you-"

"You know if I were there right now, I would kiss you to shut you up." I laughed, even on medication he was still his quirky self.

"Well...??" I said, holding out the L.

"I'm all good! Doctor said I will be good for tour, which means I'm ready to come to Ohio and see you next week!"

"Next week?!" I flipped through my calendar. "Oh my god, I lost track of time!! Babe, you're coming next week!!" I said, realizing it was the 18 of October and Ross would be coming on the 26.

"I'm so excited!" I couldn't stop from smiling, even though he couldn't see me.

"It sucks I can't come for your homecoming dance."

"Aww, it's alright. They aren't that great anyways."

"You're going right?" He asked.

"Yeah, with Jenna. Single ladies."

"Wait, but your not single..."

"Sorry, not what I meant. You know what I meant!" I laughed.

"Yeah I do, I was joking!" He laughed. I missed his laugh.

"You stink." I responded.

"Like a fart?" He said, making me laugh harder.

"Shut up!" I said.

"I miss you." He said. "I'm glad I can talk to you. I forgot how only talking to siblings can get annoying."

"I know what you mean." I said immediately thinking of Aiden.

"I have to go, but I'll text you and talk to you later!" He paused. "I can't wait to see you."

"Aww, me too. Soon though." Smiling to myself.

"Not soon enough."
