I step off the escalator and take a deep breath and smile. I finally am in LA and I will soon be reunited with my best friend! my heart is in my throat. I haven't seen him in person in 6 years. my knees wobble as I walk in the airport in excitement.
A man in a snap back and sunglasses holding a sign catches my eye.
'My Best Fried!'
I grin, dropping my bags, and running to him.
He takes off his glasses revealing the hazel eyes I have missed for so long and drops the sign. he puts his arms out for me and jump into his embrace.
I put my arms around his warm neck and he wraps his arms around my small waist burying his head in my neck.
"Oh my god Julia I've missed you so much" he says into my ear. I can almost hear the smile in his voice.
"I've missed you too Joshua" I pull away from his embrace "holy cow you've gotten taller" I laugh. I take in his appearance, he is no longer the small boy I use to tower Over in Kentucky. He is so muscular and tall compared to me. hes now at least 5'10" making my 5'6" height look like nothing.
He laughs "Your the only person who thinks that!" he smile recalling all the movies where his height is mocked "come on let's go before we are attacked by girls" he takes one of my suitcases and I take another and my backpack
"Godness Jewels did you bring enough stuff!" he teases as we walk through the airport
"Hey, you try moving across the country"
"I did! Incase you forgot! and my entire family had less stuff then you do"
"Oh come on it's not that bad" I roll my eyes
"Your such a girl"
I hit his arm as we walk outside
"Owe" he says pretending to be hurt "you know I didn't miss you abusing me"
"Well, I'm back now to hit you all the time so you better like it!" I joke
We get to his car
"Oh thank god I thought you would have your motor cycle!"
"You and my mom are the same" he shakes his head opening his trunk and putting my luggage in his car
"Well, I'm sorry we don't want you to die!"
"Good news! I'm not planning on it."
We both walk around and he gets in the driver seat and I get in the passenger seat and he starts driving
"This is weird" I smile at him
"What?" he raises an eyebrow at me
"You driving!"
He starts laughing "What?"
"It's weird! in my mind your still only 12 and shouldn't be driving!"
"Your so weird Jewels"
"I know. you love it, you know you do!"
"Right" he says sarcastically and I laugh at him
We make random conversation on our way to the Hutchersons house. I'm staying at Josh's house with his family because he lives close to the University and it's cheaper than staying on campus.
"We're almost at my house" Josh says
"Im so excited to see your parents oh and Connor! he better not have gotten big like you or I'll have to kill him"
"Don't worry he's only 15"
"Yah but he was 9!"
"Well next time he has a birthday and gets older you can kill him"
"Sounds good!"
"Here we are!"
We pull up to a fairly nice, big house in a neighbor hood with beautiful fresh green grass and cars in the driveway.
"Yay!" I jump out of the car and run to the front door josh close behind me laughing
I knock on the door
"Julia, you don't need to knock just open it!"
I was about when the door opens to reveal an excited Michele
"Julia!" she wraps me in her arms
"how are you Michele?" I ask as we pull apart
"I'm great honey, come on in!" he says in my same sweet southern accent
I walk in to a little hall with josh next to me and Michele in front
"We've missed you so much Julia! Too bag your family couldn't come down for a little while"
"Well, it would've been a lot of plane tickets to buy!" I have five other younger siblings back home ranging from me the oldest at 18 to the two twins who are 5 so flying 8 people would get expensive
"Oh I would imagine!" we turn into the living room where a young 15 year old boy who doesn't look much like josh but I know immediately it's Connor.
"Hey, Julia!" he gets up and is about an inch shorter than me
"Hey, Connor!" I hug him "didn't I tell you when you left you weren't allowed to grow up!"
He laughs "sorry, can't really help it" he shrugs "do you need help with your bags?"
"Oh yah! I left 'em in the car! thanks"
Josh, Connor and I go and get my stuff and they show me my room upstairs. My room is across from Josh's and has light green walls, with purple accent on the bed sheets and has a white desk with a purple lamp on it.
Connor is sitting on my bed and we are talking as I unpack my clothes. josh comes into the door way and suddenly falls with a thud
"Josh!" Connor and I get up and go to his side where he is clutching his right leg
"Dude, are you okay?" Connor asks
"yah, yah, I'm fine my leg just gave out"
"Is everything okay?" Josh's mom appears in the door way
"It's fine mom, my leg just gave out" josh says as Con and I help him up
"Alright?" she say sort of questioningly "well your dad is going to be home soon and dinner is almost ready"
"Thanks mom" josh says and she leaves
I go and continue to unpack and the boys sit on my bed next to my white dresser
"So when does school start?" Joshua asks
"Not for two and a half weeks"
"Good so we have time to do whatever!"
I laugh a little "exactly, but first I got to find a job"
"What? a job why?" Connor asks
"Yah, I have to start paying off my school loans"
"Alright, but you better not be picky cause we have a lot of whatever to get to doing!" Josh says
"Okay" I chuckle
We hear the door downstairs open
"Dad's home!" Connor jumps up
Josh and I laugh at him "come on" he says standing up and reaching his hand out to me I take it and he helps me up then we go down stairs together. we get down their and I see Chris in the den with Michele and Connor.
"Hi, Chris!" I run and give him a hug
"Hey, Julia, how are you" he says happily pulling away
"I'm great!"
"Dinners ready!" Michele says
~*~
"So Julia, how is Abby doing?" Chris asks as we sit eating dinner. Abby is my 10 year old sister who was born with a breathing disorder.
"She is doing really well, she's still on oxygen all the time but she is doing well!"
"That's good to hear" he smiles
"So what are y'all gonna do tomorrow?" Michele asks
"Um I'm not sure? maybe just chill here if Jewels is still jet lagged or we can go out it's up to you?" he says to me
"Wo wo if you guys are gonna go out I'm going to"
"You have school, dude" Josh states
"I can skip"
"No, you can't." Michele and Chris say in synch
"Ah come on why not!?"
"Do they practice talking in synch?" I lean over and whisper to josh
"I don't know for sure but it happens often so it's definitely plausible"
We both chuckle
"What are you two laughing at?" Michele eye us
"Nothing" we say at the same time then grin at each other holding back a laugh
We continue to talk until after dinner. I then go up to bed because I'm exhausted. Josh and I walk up to my room
"So I got two weeks free until I start filming again"
"Cool so we have time for whatever!"
He laughs "yes! tons of whatever!"
We go into my room and stand at the door way
"I'm really glad your here Julia. I've missed you a lot"
"I've missed you too"
"Yah skype just wasn't cutting it"
I chuckle "well I'll let you get to sleep now" he says
"Okay goodnight" I hug him
"Goodnight"
