Chapter 13: WTH

I had finally gotten back from the woods with Josh and I was dreading the talk with Noelle. I know I had to talk to her but I was definitely on the verge of just not talking to her. I know once I got to Billings she was going to pull me into her room and not let me out until everything was resolved.

"So are you sure you don't wanna go to the Art Cemetery with me for a couple of hours?" Josh asked.

"I really wish I could, but I have tons of homework and I need to talk to Noelle its really important." I told him.

"Alright, well call me later so that I now Noelle didn't kill you or something." He said with slight seriousness.

"Ha-ha. I will definitely call you." I said laughing

"Ok, cuz if you don't I will come over her and make sure she didn't." he said smiling.

"You just want that to happen don't you? Just kidding, plus its just a talk." I told him.

"Mhmm, well I will see you tomorrow. Ok?" he said.

"Yup, sounds good. I love you." I said.

"I love you too Reed Brennan." He says as he leans in and kisses me right on the lips.

Oh yea this is how he really kisses me, but it usually doesn't go for this long. Should I just invite him in? No, I really havta talk to Noelle. So I cut it off before it gets outta hand.

"Josh…I really gotta go…" I say between kisses.

"Ok, ok…. Just one more.." he says between kisses.

"Seriously… I gotta go.." I say pushing him away.

He sighs and says, "I love you." And kisses me on the tip of my nose and jogs away towards Ketlar.

"Love you too." I yell after him. He just raises his arm and waves and smiles.

After I watch him jog away, I walk into Billings and there is complete silence. I walk towards the parlor and there's nobody in there. Ok now I'm a little freaked.

"Hello? Anybody here?" I yelled out.

I was officially scared, where was everybody? I walk up stairs and look in every room, but nothing. How could they leave and not tell me? Not even a text message, I mean I told Noelle we needed to talk later and she couldn't mention she wasn't going to be here. I walk into my room, close the door and go sit on my bed. What am I suppose to do now? I mean I guess I could do my homework that I desperately need to get done. Ok so chem. homework. What the hell, we never learned this…. Uggh. I don't know how long I sat there staring at my book until I heard someone come in the front door down stairs. I got up and went down stairs to see who it was, I mean they gotta be back by now right?

"Uggh, finally you guys are back. Where have you…." I say as I walk into the parlor but stop right away when I realize who it is.

"What the hell are you doing in here? And how did you get in here?" I ask.
