Chapter 13

Joseph doesn't stare at the radio anymore, instead, he sits on the rocks and stares at the ocean. He made a fishing rod to look somewhat busy since his birthday. He managed up a merger smile for my own birthday. He didn't drink much, I imagine it's because of last time.

After we had our heart to heart in front of the fire. He quickly went to a happier mood and ended up breaking his toe when he said he was able to do a backflip.

I learned three things that night.

Joseph is a lightweight

He can in fact not do a backflip

And he's been holding in some feelings that he wishes not to share with me.

"Charlie, sit," I command. Charlie does as he's told, I hand him a piece of pineapples. I look over at Joseph, eat, sleep, and fish. How long has it been since he showered?

"Hey, Joseph!" Joseph turns towards me, he keeps a tight grip on his fishing pole.

"What's wrong!" He responds.

"What'cha doing?"

He holds up his fishing rod."What does it look like? I'm fishing!" I scurry towards him, he sat on top of the rock that's almost the same height as I. How did he get up there? I lean against the rocks and stare up at him. "Why are you staring at me?"

"No reason, just admiring how your beard has grown in."

He runs a hand over his chin, "I don't like it."

"Well, I do, it makes you seem more approachable. And that hair!" I attempt to climb on the rock to touch it. Joseph sees my struggle and grabs my arm to lift me on the rock. "Thank you," I smile. I run a hand through his hair. It's grown out quite a lot since we got here.

"Having fun?" he murmurs as he stares at the ocean. I gather his hair up into one hand.

"Wow, you have really small ears." They can't be much bigger than a quarter. "No wonder you don't respond when I call for you."

The corner of Joseph's lip twitches. Oh, that struck a chord with him. "Are you done investigating me? Did you get your fill yet of annoying me?"

"I don't know? Annoying you is the most entertaining thing on this island." I grab his hair and begin to braid it. "I'm going to braid your hair."

"Why?"

"Because I can, now sit still."

Joseph lets out a sigh and does as he's told. "You know Alice, you get weirder and weirder as the days go on."

"Oh, shut up. You love it," I smile as I continue to braid his hair. I have never done this to anyone other than myself. "Done," I announce. The braid looks pretty good, "I can't wait until your hair gets longer."

"I can. God, did you have your fill of fun yet? Or are you going to continue bothering me?"

"Bother you?" I joke, "this is bothering you?"
