One Person Can Make Such A Difference- Josh Hutcherson FanFic

Josh Hutcherson FanFic Part 13

I was awoken in the morning to the sound of barking from downstairs. I sat up and watched the door closely. My eyes were slightly blurred from being closed for so long and the light took some getting used to, but I kept them fixed on the door. The barking seemed to get closer, I heard the patter of tiny paws on the stairs and along the hall until they reached the door. Josh woke up immediately and let them in, two gorgeous dogs! 

They both jumped onto the bed and began licking my cheeks, their tongues were wet and slimy but I didn't care. I sat their giggling and waited for them to finish before wiping my face thoroughly with Josh's jumper sleeve that I found on the floor. "Hey guys!" Josh was stroking them both and kissing the tops of their heads. "This is Dixon, and this is Diesel" He pointed to the two dogs and I stroked them both, their fur was so silky against my hands.

"So, where have these been for the couple of weeks that I've been here!?" I was so confused as to who's they were, where they had been and what they were doing here now, I wake up one day to find two dogs here and no explanation at all!

"Oh! Sorry! These are my two dogs, they've been at the vets for the past few weeks for a checkup, but the vet had to keep them in, I'm not sure why to be honest but she just said she did" This made so much more sense! I nodded as he explained and carried on stroking them both. They were such adorable dogs! 

After about ten minutes of stroking and kissing the dogs, Josh stood up and went to get changed in the bathroom. I waited for his re-appearance to walk off to my own room and get ready. I was so eager to be fast that I jumped into the shower, washed my hair using the first shampoo that came to hand and a completely different conditioner, also the first to hand. I rushed out the shower, threw some clothes on and wrapped a towel securely round my head to dry my hair. 

I rubbed it down and took the towel off, throwing it back into the en-suit, moisturized my skin and nearly skipped out the door, so eager to be with Josh again. I knocked at his door, waited for his reply, and stepped into the room closing the door behind me. He was sat on his bed cradling one of the dogs in his arms. He looked so cute! As soon as I walked over to him, he put the dog down and took my hand. "You wanna go downstairs for some food?" I nodded and he stood up pulling me along side him and we walked down the stairs and into the living room, where obviously Connor was already sat there playing on his game.

"Hey guys!" He hadn't looked up from the screen to speak to us, but at least he acknowledged our existence. Josh ordered me to sit down while he got us some food of some sort, so I took a seat next to Connor. The minute Josh stepped out the door, Connor paused his game and took a more serious tone than I was used to. "Are you okay today? I heard you screaming last night, it sounded like a nightmare?" He was looking at me so curious to find out the answer, but instead I just smiled and said, "I'm fine, it was a nightmare but it's okay!" He frowned slightly, but this reassurance was good enough for him. He un-paused his game and carried on as if it had never happened. 

When Josh came back in he passed me a bowl of cereal and a drink on a tray, walking back in the kitchen briefly to grab his. We sat there eating for about a minute until Mrs Hutcherson walked in carrying some letters. She flipped through them quickly as she walked into the kitchen, but froze in the doorway. I looked up to see what was happening, but she was just stood there, staring at a letter. She slowly turned with a frown on her face and stepped towards me and Josh.

My heart began to race, something bad was obviously on that letter, and I needed to know what. She looked up at me, and slowly reached out her hand gripping the letter tightly, and laid it beside my leg. I looked at her, my eyes a little wider than usual and she looked at me, her facial expression scared, yet intrigued at the same time. 

I swiveled my head towards my leg, and glanced at the un-opened letter. By this time Connor and Josh were both fixated on me, Connor's game paused and Josh's spoon half way between the bowl and his mouth. I grabbed the letter cautiously between my finger and thumb, and ripped the top off the envelope. Carefully pulling the sheet of hand written paper inside it out, and began to read.
