Chapter9:The Confession
After that very confusing remark from Joe,the rest of the night was 100 better.Even so,that when Drake arrived at his home,15 minutes before curfew,he was certain that he wasn't going to have to worry about anything broken.As a matter of fact,he was very thrilled about the date.It was 11:45,when an excited Drake Parker made his way up to his bedroom.
"Drake...I have to tell you something.Its important.",Josh said,when his brother walked through the door of the bedroom they shared.
"Okay.What is it?",Drake asked,confused as to why Josh was up this late.
"I kissed your girlfriend.",Josh said,nervously.
"I know,I know.I'm over Susan.I've been over her for a long time now.Man,forget about it,quit torturing yourself.",Drake answered.as he changed into his pajamas.
"No.I mean I kissed Randa.A long time ago.",Josh said,scared of what would happen next.
"Huh?",Drake asked,in shock of what he had just heard,as he turned around to face his step-brother who was now sitting in his bed.
"Well let me tell you a story,okay?When we were in kindergarten,remember how there was two kindergarten classes?",Josh asked,not waiting for Drake's reply.
"Randa and I were in the same one.She was so nice.and we were friends.She used to come over all the time to play.She came to my birthday party,I came to hers.Anyway,one day,when I found out that my mom left and wasn't coming back,I was really sad.We were outside of her house,in her tree house,and I was crying,and she told me not to be.She said that even if no one else in the world was there for me,that she would be.She told me that she liked me because my dad was the weather man,I had never missed a day of school,I was the smartest kid in the class,and that I was the best friend she ever had.I guess even at that age,she was into guys with accomplishments.Anyway,she also told me that whenever she got a scratch and it hurt,her mom or Dad,or Joe would kiss it and it would make it all better.So then,she kissed me to make me feel better.Drake I"m soo sorry!",Josh said,preparing to get yelled at.
"Sorry about what?That was really nice of Randa.She must have really liked you.But anyway,how could you forget kissing Randa?I mean,I've kissed lots of girls in the past,but she's the best kisser that I've ever had,and you've only kissed like what three people in your life?",Drake asked.
"Well thank you for the depressing moment.Mindy seem sto think that since my mom left me,and that was really tramatic for me,I blocked it out.Since you started dating her,it brought back old memories.",Josh stated,glad that Drake wasn't mad.
"I'm so sorry.",Drake said.
"About what?",Josh asked,puzzled.
"Your mom leaving you like that.My dad died,and that was it.But your mom left.I'm really sorry.",Drake said,meaning every word.
"Its not your fault.But Drake,don't blow your relationship with Randa.I'll give you some advice about her,if you like.",Josh said.
"Okay.I can't believe it,but I'm gonna take it.",Drake said.
"If there's one thing I remember about her,its this,she has a different view of the world.She thinks everyone is good.Her heart is as big as the sky.She also probably likes romance.As a matter of fact,why don't you call her and play her a song?",Josh offered.
"Yeah that'd be cool.I'll just put her on speaker phone,so I can play the guitar too.",Drake said.
"Okay then,I'll be in the living room then.",Josh stated.
"No man,I'm gonna need you in here with me so that I don't do something wrong.",Drake added.
"OKay.Fine with me.",Josh said.
