chapter 23

JOSH'S POV:

I knew that the picture had to mean something. But what? I remember walking past her room and seeing her writing in a journal, where would she hide it? I looked under the bed. I found it!. I opened it to the page that was bookmarked. "I am sad all the time. I know that I have everything i have dreamed of but I'm lonely"

Josh- Lonely?

I whispered to myself. I heard the water turn off. I had to get out of here. I threw the book back under her bed, her pictures under her book and ran out.

MADDY'S POV:

As soon as I got dressed I threw up. Ugh! I hate being sick with passion. When I was done I brushed my teeth and went and laid down in bed. It was almost 10 and I was getting pretty tired. I was about to fall asleep, then I felt it again. I was going to throw up. I ran to the toilet and threw up.

Maddy- Ughhhhh!

I groaned. I brushed my teeth yet again and went back to lay down. Josh came into my room.

Josh- I need to talk to you.

Maddy- What's wrong?

Josh- When I came in here earlier you tried to hide something from me. When you went into the shower I looked at what it was.

Maddy- Oh so are you going through my things now?

I was angry. I didn't want anyone to know the way I felt.

Josh- No it's not that, I was just seeing if it was something bad.

Maddy- Okay? So you saw my pictures, is that it.

Josh- No, that's not it. I also read your journal.

Maddy- What the hell josh!

Josh- I know I'm sorry I had to know what they meant. Is that really how you feel?

Maddy- ...

Josh- I won't tell anybody if that's what you're scared of.

Maddy- I know you won't it's just...

A tear fell down my face.

Josh- Mads don't cry.

Maddy- It's just I feel like I am all alone and that I don't deserve this.

Josh- Deserve what?

Maddy- To live in this house, have all of you a part of my life, I'm just a girl from the orphanage. I didn't do anything to deserve this. I have never done anything to get this. I haven't even told you guys how thankful I am for this.

Josh- Maddy, we know that you are thankful. I love you so much and there isn't anything I wouldn't do for you.

I started crying even more.

Maddy- Josh I love you too!

Josh hugged me and we sat there for about 5 minutes.

Bryce- What's going on in here.

Josh- We were just talking.

Josh got up out of my bed and walked over to my dad.

Bryce- Why is Maddy crying?

Maddy- It wasn't just a talk. It was one with meaning.

I said with a smile on my face.

Josh- Mads if you need anything else I am just down the hall okay?

Maddy- Kk!

Josh left.

Bryce- So you want to tell me what's going on?

Maddy- I think Josh has it under control.

He laughed.

Bryce- If you say so.

Maddy- I'm going to go to bed, hopefully that medicine will work tomorrow.

Bryce- Hopefully, goodnight Mads.

Maddy- Goodnight dad.

Sorry for the short ones.
