--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I slept another perfect night and the next day I was happier than I had been in a long time, the only thing was, Johnson couldn't find out. I didn't know what to do, I liked Johnson since fourth grade, but I've liked Joel since my brother became friends with him. At first it was because Joel was off limits because he was my brothers best friend, but it got to be more than that, and I never thought I'd be in this situation. Kendie must have noticed my happiness.

"Whats up with you?" he asked

"Nothing" I said, It was way to hard to lie because I was smiling.

"Yeah right Faye Marie Curtis, you havent smiled since that night at the movies!" he said. It was true, I had been smiling because of what Johnson had done but Kendie hadn't gotten it out of me. He figured out that it was something about Johnson though because Johnson and I were the only ones to see the movie, and he had made fun of me for it for a while. So if I told him about Joel he would never let me live it down. He picked up that trait from Mitchy.

"So, what are you and Johnson doing today then huh?" he asked, sometimes I wondered how he was my brother. Johnson and I hadn't talked for days and he was still asking that stupid question.

"Nothing, Johnson and I havent talked since the movie" I said, he stared at me trying to figure it out.

"It can't be Joey because we're related, it cant be Johnny because..." he trailed off and stared at me.

"No way in hell Faye" he said.

"What?" I asked innocently.

"You can't go out with Joel!" he shouted. I smiled.

"What makes you think I'm going to do something with Joel?" I asked. I was finding it hard to control my laughter.

"Because you would never date Mitchy, Kyle and Flip are too old for you and you wouldn't date Flip anyway, I dont know anyone that would, and Russ is our cousin, its not Johnson you already told me that and Joey and Johnny are related to us, its not that hard to figure out" he said. He was smart I'll give him that.

"We're just hanging out today" I said, walking away.

"No you're not Faye, he's too old for you" he said.

"You're only saying that because he's one of your best friends! He's my friend too Kendie you said it yourself millions of times!" I shouted. I was tired of this, I was tired of him not letting me have my own life and make my own decisions.

"You're 14!" he shouted, we got into fights sometimes, not usually since he could see my side of things more easily, but sometimes. Its healthy for brothers and sisters.

"I KNOW THAT KENDIE! BUT YOU'RE TREATING ME LIKE IM 10 OR SOMETHING! I KNOW I'M YOUR LITTLE SISTER KENDIE BUT I'M OLD ENOUGH TO MAKE MY OWN DECISIONS AND I'M HANGING OUT WITH JOEL TONIGHT WEATHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!" I shouted and stormed out.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Later that night------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was still a little mad at Kendie when I went to hang out with Joel, I know it was stupid to be angry for so long but I couldn't help it. Joel must have been able to tell before we even started talking.

"Whoa, what's wrong with you?" he asked.

"Nothing" I said and he left it at that.

"So, I was thinking we could just hang out and stuff, not really go anywhere, unless you wanna go somewhere" he said. I shook my head and he smiled.

"Okay" he said and we started walking. It was silent, then we sat down.

"How's your mouth?" he asked.

"It's good, doesn't hurt as much" I told him.

"Lemme see" he said and he took my face in his hands.

"Have you been doing those excersises the doctor showed you?" he asked.

"uh huh" I said.

"Does this hurt?" he asked, pressing on my cheek.

"No Doctor" I said, he laughed and let go of my face.

"So you wanna play doctor huh?" he asked. Then he started tickling me.

"No Joel stop!" I begged, laughing. He stopped suddenly, the smile on his face had vanished, and when I looked behind me Johnson was standing there with a look of shock on his face.

"You have to be kidding me" he said and ran off.

"Oh no" I sighed and got up to follow him. Joel followed me. I caught up with him.

"Johnson stop!" I shouted. He turned around.

"Faye you knew, I told you, why? Do you just not like me or something? Do you want me gone?" he asked, he looked like he would cry any second.

"It's not like that Johnson..!" I said, but he cut me off.

"Then what is it Faye? Because as far as I know people don't do that to other people" he said. Johnson was pretty calm all the time.

"We're just hanging out" I said. He looked at me like he didn't believe me.

"Let me tell you a story Faye, the boy likes the girl, the girl finds out, the other boy likes the girl, the girl finds out, girl has to make a decision, girl makes wrong one, girl loses friendship" he said and walked off.

"JOHNSON!" I shouted as loud as I could. I couldn't lose his lifelong friendship over this, but he had given it up like it meant nothing. Joel caught up with me right before I started crying, but I wouldn't cry in front of him. He turned me around and hugged me.

"Hey, don't Faye, it'll be alright" he said, he kissed the top of my head.

"Do you want to go home?" he asked, his eyes were full of compassion and understanding and I nodded. He took my hand and walked me home.

"I'm sorry" I whispered.

"You have nothing to be sorry for" he said when we got to my house. He waited until I got inside and then left to go home. Kendie was the first to see me.

"He hurt you didn't he? I'll kill him" he said, glaring at the window. I shook my head and went upstairs but he followed me.

"What happened Faye?" he asked, trying to understand.

"Johnson" I said, and his expression changed from worried to shocked and he left me alone. I spent the night in my room crying, and looking at everything Johnson had ever given to me. In a fit of anger I ripped up old letters, threw old objects out the window and finally, took the picture of him and I out of the frame, ripped it in two, and threw it out the window, along with the note he had given me, and the movie ticket from that night.

If he didn't want the friendship, then I didnt either, I didn't want anything to do with him. He would be history.

As for Joel, he replaced Johnson and I in the picture frame.

And his note replaced Johnsons in my nightstand.

And he replaced Johnson in my heart and dreams.

I got an idea in a review but I didnt know what scene she was talking about, so I started writing this chapter because I couldn't wait any longer. I got an idea (as seen above) to include Flip in and make him even a little human, so next chapter will be about Joel, alone, in the lot, with socs. If you don't get it you'll understand in the next chapter.

I love all your reviews and thats why I try updating so fast, I figure if the story is on the bottom of the second page or on the third page at all (of the search things) then it's been too long since I updated. But please keep reviewing because I love reading them.
