After her argument with Massie, Alicia Rivera ran home. People was shouting after her as she ran through the halls of BOCD, but she ignored them all. That was until she ran straight into her crush Josh Hotz and his friends, sending them towards the ground.

"Alicia what's the matter", he said climbing to his feet and helping Alicia up at the same time"

"I'm sick of Massie. I'm done. I have had enough now." she shouted

"What happened?" Massie's crush Derrick asked.

Refusing to answer Alicia carried on running.

"Leesh, come back"

"Just leave me ah-lone Josh"

She didn't care that it was only first period Alicia needed to get home to her dance studio. Her sanctuary.

And so she did. She made it. Alicia danced her heart out. It took all day but Alicia refused to give up until she was stress free.

Rivera Estate

Alicia's Bedroom-En-suite

Monday Night

After all her stress was danced away Alicia climbed into the bath to wash away all the sweat she had collected whilst in her dance studio. She could hear the rain slashing her windows.

Climbing out of the bath Alicia put on her comfiest pair of pyjamas, yes even it girls have comfy pyjamas, ready for them, when they are depressed. She checked her phone noting another missed call from Josh. She'd been ignoring his calls all day. Surely he would get the hint and realise she wasn't in any mood to talk to anyone? Her phone buzzed again displaying "Josh Calling" Obviously not.

Alicia walked into her bedroom, turning her ipod speakers on as she walked past. Her favourite Taylor Swift song the other side of the door started playing. She couldn't help thinking her similar it seemed too today's events.

In the heat of the fight

I walked away

After her argument with Massie, she had to go, get out of the school before she lost her temper

Ignoring words that you were saying

Tryna make me stay

She remembered Josh calling after telling her to stop, tell him what was wrong with her. That he told her he was here for her.

I said this time "I've had enough"

"I'm sick of Massie. I'm done. I have had enough now." She had screamed at everyone in the corridor.

And you've called a hundred times

but I'm not picking up

Well that was obvious. She couldn't count how many calls she had ignored from Josh

Cause I'm so mad I might tell you that its over

No. She Ah-dored Josh. There was no way she would take it out on him

But if you look a little closer

Well if everyone looked closer they would see she was trying to help. Not take over

I said leave

"Josh, Just leave me ah-lone" she remembered saying

but all I really want is you

She needed Josh right now

to stand outside my window throwing pebbles, screaming "I'm in love with you"

Something hit her bedroom window making her jump and she heard a male voice shout something

Wait there in the pouring rain, come back for more, and don't you leave,

The noise stopped but then came closer, somehow she felt less alone. She didn't want whatever it was to go.

cause I know all I need is on the other side of the door

Someone knocked on her bedroom balcony door. She jumped and grabbed some hair straighteners. She figured that if the police needed to be evidence then it didn't matter if she lost them. Her hair was naturally straight. She opened the balcony door and there, standing soaked through from the rain was her knight in shining armour. Josh Hotz.

"Josh? What are you doing here"

"I had to see you"

"Why not use the front door instead of scaling up the walls?"

"I dunno, kinda felt like the Romeo thing to do"he blushed, causing her too blush.

She walked over to her intercom. "Joyce, Can I have a towel puh-lease" She said into the little box.

"I'll bring one right up Alicia" came the voice of her housekeeper.

Within seconds Joyce knocked on the bedroom door. Alicia let her in.

"Shall I give the towel to the boy Alicia"

"Puh-lease. He just climbed up here to see me"

Joyce smiled. She had helped raise Alicia since she was three days old and was glad that she was with such a gentleman. She passed Josh the towel and turned to Alicia. "Would you like some hot chocolate?"

Alicia did not know how to answer. Hot chocolate was her secret favourite and she certainly did not want to drink it in front of Josh. What if he thought it was un-ladylike. Thankfully he answered for her. "We would love some, thank you"

*

When Josh was dry and both Alicia and Josh was sitting on her sofa with a hot chocolate in their hand he turned to her and said

"You don't need Massie, you have me"

"They are my friends, I want to be part of them again"

"Then me and the boys are going to help you"

She smiled and took a sip of her drink. She was going to make Massie jealous. She would be hanging around Derrick and THEN Massie would have to take her back.

"Leesh, You have a chocolate moustache" Josh's giggle interrupted her thoughts. He leaned forward and wiped her mouth with a tissue from the box on the coffee table. She looked up at him with her brown eyes and then their lips met. Alicia finally felt safe, wanted. She understood his kiss it said "I will protect you. I love you Alicia Rivera"

He pulled away. "I'd better go, my mum thinks I'm at Cam's getting a text book." He kissed her once again and she walked him to the front door.

"By the way, that song that was playing when I came in, that's our song" he said before he disappeared into the darkness.

Alicia ran back to her room and played the song, over and over again until her dad told her it was time for bed. She turned it off and slept. Thinking how much Josh cared for her and how she knew she could always count on him.
