Chapter Six
"Hey Allie!" Josh greeted, as he took a seat next to her porch swing. "So how you doing?" She looked up, and couldn't help the smile that crept onto her face.
"Hey Josh. What are you doing here? I thought you'd be with Mindy?" She looked down at her feet so he couldn't see that she was almost crying.
"She's coming over later. What's wrong?" He had seen her try to hide her face.
"It's nothing too serious. it's just, Drake seems different lately. And it's like I can't talk to him without getting pissed off for some reason." Josh looked her face over.
"Is this about tonight, and the party a few weeks ago." Alice looked down then brought her head up innocently.
"I just can't imagine a new year's without him. I'm kind of pathetic, I know eventually we'll be apart, but I just want to be with him now." Allie looked at Josh to see if he understood. From the small smile, to his soft gaze, she knew he got her point.
"Allie, can I give you some advice?" Josh asked her quietly. She looked a little confused.
"Sure, go a head." Alice said in a laughing tone.
"Drake is my brother, and I know how he is. I just don't think you should depend on him so much. I've learned he can be a disappointment sometimes." Alice looked at Josh like he was crazy.
"Josh, you know I really appreciate that, but I know that. I have known Drake since we were five. He's just in his own little world, and sometimes I wish I was with him. It's getting late, I have to go help my mom set up for her party. Thanks." Alice disappeared inside her house leaving Josh's mind spinning.
Isn't Josh just the best brother...pleez r/r
