"Josh? What, what are you doing here?" Hayley asked.
"A hello would be nice", Josh smirked "Can I come in?"
"Well I guess"
Hayley looked at him. Josh West the man who had ruined her art exhibition in the city, by selling her painting of Noah.
"What do you want Josh?"
"I've come to offer you something"
"And what, would that be?"
"Okay, my mum's brand new newspaper in New Zealand saw your art work in Paris and has offered you a full time job, to draw in the newspaper", Josh explained
"What! Are you serious?"
"100 serious"
"This is huge" "So I'll be sending my work to New Zealand then right?"
"No"
"Then how else will the publishers get my work?" Hayley asked confused.
"Hayley you can't stay in Summer Bay, you'll have to move to New Zealand"
"Oh", Hayley stayed silent for a while.
"I'll leave you to think about it", Josh said
"How long have I got?"
"Until 7:00pm", Josh smirked
"What?"
"You heard, I'll meet you on the beach at dead on seven"; Josh said and walked out of the house to leave Hayley alone.
Hayley sat on a chair and got lost in her thoughts. This was the opportunity of a lifetime! She could have her work published! This was amazing. But she knew what Josh was like and his mother, Jackie West. Noah wouldn't be able to go with her. Would she have to choose her work or him all over again?
Dani peered over at Noah who was talking to Dan. He looked so happy. She was happy for him. It did make her wonder, though. What would've happened if she'd never told him the truth about Kyle? Would they still be together? There's no point in wondering, it's in the past.
Hayley sat on the beach at a quarter to seven. She'd made her final decision. She kept having doubts. Was it the right choice? She wanted both. But she couldn't always get what she wanted. Five minutes passed, but it seemed like a lifetime. Where's Josh? It was typical she was early and Josh well, wasn't. At long last he turned up with a massive grin on his face.
"G'day"
"This isn't funny Josh, pressuring me like this"
"Hey it's your decision"
"I know!"
"So?"
"So what?"
"What have you decided? Yes or no?"
"No"
"What?"
"You heard me No!"
"Why? This is-"
"I've giving you my answer I love Noah and I'm not leaving him. I've left him for you once before and I'm not making the mistake of doing it again".
Hayley walked off knowing that was the last time she'd hear of Josh West.
Authors Note: Hey hope that was good! Next chapter is on as well so keep reading!
