Love, Boys, and Jealousy: A Typical Romance

Chapter 16

Isabella spent the night at Erica's, so the next morning the two of them got dressed and ready for school.

"Are you gonna tell him?" Isabella asked when they left her house.

"I am. We made a promise, no secrets. And I don't want to loose him again by breaking that promise. I just have to find the right time."

"No time like now." Isabella saw Josh walking towards them.

"Not now. I'll do it during english or something."

"Okay."

"Hey babe." Josh said when he caught up with them.

"Hey." Erica smiled. They walked to school.

When they got there Josh asked Erica "We're still on for the plan third period right?"

"You got it." Erica responded.

"Good."

They all went to first period. Erica told John everything that happend the past night and he asked her some questions. Like who she thought the text was from and if she was gonna tell Josh. She had no idea who the text was from. She thought it could be Jaclyn or Michael but she didn't want to accuse anyone if it wasn't them. After first period, she went to second and did the same to Veronica who had the same questions to ask her. Erica was anxious to tell Mark because they were so close since grade school, and he would help with this, but she didn't see him until fifth period and she saw Josh now. When she went into third period Mr. Simon was besent again and Michael was standing at her desk. "So I heard you and Josh broke up." he asked

Erica looked over at Josh and winked at him motioning for him to come over. "We did. It was tragic. I really love him and wish i was still with him." she acted.

"That sucks. Where ever will you find someone who loves you like you love Josh."

"Oh I don't know." Josh said coming in ",maybe right here. Erica, I still love you. I don't ever want to loose you again. Please come back to me. I love you!"

"I love you too. Of course I'll come back."

"You will?" Josh got down on one knee. "I don't ever want to loose you again. Will you marry me?"   

"Yes!" Erica shouted. Michael was confused.

"What?" he asked. "Your going to marry Josh?"

"Yeah I am. Sorry. I don't think we will ever be together. Mine and Josh's love is to strong. You can't break it." Erica spat and hugged Josh.

 "We'll see about that." Michael said and walked away. Erica started to think it was Michael now that sent the text.

Josh kissed Erica's cheek. "We did it." Erica pulled away. "What's wrong." he gave her puppy eyes.

"Sit down Josh." He did. "Remember we said not to keep secrets?"

 "Yeah..." he was confused "What happened?"

"Well last night, after you left, i got a text from someone I don't know."

"What did it say?"

"That I'll regret ever dating you and who ever sent the text is coming for me and you."

Josh didn't know how to respond. "Who do you think it could be?"

"I don't know. Maybe Michael or Jaclyn. What's Michael's number?"

"I don't know. I deleted him. Hey Darren, Kyle come here." Josh shouted for them to come. They did.

"Yeah?" Darren asked.
