Chapter 30
I stare at Josh from across the couch as he fidgets with his fingers. I can already tell by the way he is looking around the room to focus on something else while talking, that this is going to be serious. He looks back at me and takes my hands in his rough ones.
"I know this is not something that you want to hear right now." He mumbles and squeezes my hands more. "I got offered another movie job and they are offering me a lot of money so I took it."
My eyes light up and jump over and give Josh a huge hug tackling him to the couch. "That is amazing! When does it start? Oh my gosh I can go with you and see you act on set!"
Josh's hand moves over my mouth to stop my rambling, "See there is an issue you won't like."
He lifts me back up and sits me back where I was before. His head in in his hands and I run mine through his hair, "Just tell me it can't be that bad."
I smile at him to lighten his mood when he looks back up at me,
but I only get a half smile back.
He takes a deep breathe and turns away from me, "The movie is all the way in Australia and they are not allowing me to take you."
My smile quickly turns into a frown. And my heart aches in pain. I think and think maybe this is a good thing that we have some distance between us for some time. That's what we need. But there always seems to be this magnetic force bringing us back together.
I don't know how long I will be able to be without him. I look at Josh and smile to hide my pain, "You get to travel. It's great really Josh. I am so happy for you."
Josh shakes his head and grabs my face with his hands, wiping away the tears I did not know were on my cheeks. "Elise, I don't want to be away from you." He pulls me to him and wraps his arms around me.
I nuzzle my head in his chest and just cry. Crying because again we will be away from each other. I won't be able to have his arms around me to protect me while he is gone. Or him to kiss me and make all the sadness go away. Or his to just be here and make me laugh.
I hear a door swing open and sit back up. Katrina walks in with a plate of brownies, "I got brownies for us to eat and The Heat for us to watch come on guys."
She walks up to the couch and notices me crying, "Ow he told you didn't he. Well intense moments I will just be leaving now. If you need me I will be in my room."
As she begins to walk away I stand up from the couch, "Wait you knew Josh was leaving for a movie and you did not tell me!?"
Katrina turns around and raises an eyebrow, "Leaving for a movie? What are you-" She cuts off in the middle of her sentence and I turn around to see Josh glaring at her.
She swallows the brownie and starts, "Oh yeah, the movie hes leaving in two days right Josh?" She laughs.
Josh nods and motions me back over to him. I slowly walk back over to him and sit next to him. He entwines our finger together and kisses my head softly as a calming gesture. I watch at Katrina walks out of the room and upstairs to hers and slam the door.
I look over to Josh, "So you leave in three days?"
"Two." He sighs and stands up. I stand up also and wrap my arms around his torso and breathe in his scent. He always seems to smell like vanilla. I had this lotion I got from the store once and his skin was dry so he put it on. Now he always puts it on. He always tells me to feel his arms because they are so smooth.
He takes my face in his hands and looks me in the eyes, "But I am going to take you out before I leave. Just you and me somewhere romantic. But it will be a surprise of course."
I smile and he places a kiss gently on my lips. Of course I am going to miss the feeling of his lips on mine. Stop thinking about him not being here Elise, it will only make you sadder. He moves back and lets go of me, "But I have to go now. I will pick you up tomorrow at five so be ready. Nothing to fancy. Just casual."
I nod my head and walk him to the front door. He kisses me one last time and I watch him enter his car and drive away. I stand there at the doorway for about five minutes after he leaves only then to realize Harry standing at the doorway. "What do you want Harry?"
"Well this is my house I would like to go inside." He says shaking his head.
I move aside and let him walk in. I have no choice but to let him in, this is his house. And I rather him not kick me out because I won't let him in.
Harry shuffles his way into the kitchen and grabs a water bottle. He sit at the counter and Katrina exits her room walking into the kitchen for more brownies. I follow her and scrunch my nose when she sees Harry.
"Hello Harry." She says in a monotone and grabs a few more brownies.
Harry stands up and walks towards her, "She speaks." He laughs and Katrina rolls her eyes.
"Why don't we all just sit on the couch and watch a movie?" I cut in before these two start argueing. The bother nod and I decide to put The Heat in the dvd player since that is what Katrina wanted to watch earlier.
They both sit on opposite sides of the couch and give each other death glares. This two are such childern. I don't know how I deal with them.
The movie starts and I take out my phone and deicde to text Josh so he can get my through the night.
But the only thing even when the movie is over he has not texted me back at all. Or even bothered to look at my message.
Harry phones buzzes next to me and when I glance at the screen it is a text from Josh.
Katrina puts on another movie and I wait to see if Josh would answer me. And when he never does I fall asleep to the voices of Augustus and Hazel Grace.
