On the car ride home Noelle got a limo. It was a special occasion she said. I sat with josh. I was leaning my head on his chest. It smelt like Josh. It was so good to have that feeling again and to be with Josh again. Noelle sat with Dash. Apparently they had gotten back together on the boat, during casino night. Kiran and Taylor were sitting chatting about something. Scott decided to come as well because Noelle invited him to stay at her place until I left. He sat alone but he was gaping at Taylor. Something told me he might have had a little bit of a crush.
"So Noelle can you tell us who you think did that stuff to me yet?" I asked.
"Well I'll give you a hint. It is someone who was in our original crew the whole time. However they switched over to the other group when things got difficult. It is possible that they are responsible for the Jet Ski and horse incidents." Noelle said.
"Well Noelle hints don't help!" I said.
"Ok but before I actually say anything I would like to do some research so how about when we get back to my place every one can do there own thing but be back at my place by eight o'clock." Noelle said.
"Fine." I said. Maybe Josh and I could have some alone time.
When we pulled up to Noelle's house my brothers mouth went from drooling to hanging wide open. He never had seen a house so big. I realized that I was used to it by now.
"This place is sick." Scott said.
"Thanks." Noelle replied.
I walked up to my room and Josh followed me putting his bags down.
"So it's like 2 now so do you want to go shopping for a while?" Josh asked.
"Sure." I said. "Let me just get ready." I finished. I took a quick shower and got dressed. I was wearing my dark jean mini skirt with a baby blue tank top and blue sandals. I straitened my hair and said, "Josh I'm ready."
"Cool. Lets get going." He said. We arrived at the mall a half hour later and took the saying shop till you drop very seriously. First we went to a store to buy a dress. Josh disappeared for a while. When he came back I modeled the dresses for him to see what he thought. First I tried on this puffy pink princess dress.
"That looks…good?" Josh said.
"No this I tried on as a joke." I said. We both laughed.
I walked back in to try on a red dress. I knew josh would love this one. It was a halter dress that was all sparkly and hit above my knees. The back was low. It was so cute.
When I walked out Josh's mouth hung open. "Whoa." Is all he could manage.
"That dress looks amazing. I need to buy it for you." Josh said. I let him. Next we headed to pick out shoes that matched my dress. Then we headed to another store to buy a bathing suit. I picked out a blue bikini with white polka dots, after that we went basically to random shops. When we were done it was like 5:30.
"Do you want go out for dinner?" Josh asked.
"Sure." I said.
We went to this restaurant on the beach. It was delicious. We were just getting to dessert when pulled something out of his pocket.
"Josh what's that?" I asked extremely curious.
"Your Christmas present." He replied
"Josh I didn't get you anything. You didn't have to do anything for me." I said.
"Reed you did get me something. Those paintbrushes remember?" he asked.
"Yeah." I said. Then he pulled out a small jewelry box. It was either a ring or earrings.
"Open it." He encouraged. When I did it was a beautiful ring.
"Josh," I said speechless. It was a beautiful ring.
"It's a promise ring. Reed I really do love you." He said.
I started tearing up, "Josh it's beautiful. I love it, almost as much as I love you." I said.
He gave me a hug. After we ate dessert it was 7:30. We had a piece of cheesecake.
"Well we should get going." Josh said.
"Ok Noelle did make it sound fairly urgent." I replied. As we drove home Josh kept his hand on my knee the whole time.
"So Josh do you have any ideas of who Noelle's thinking of?" I asked.
"No not really other than Upton but that is just because I don't like him so no I have no idea, You?" He asked.
"Not a clue. This is the first time I have met most everyone here." I said as we pulled into Noelle's house.
Everyone was gathered in the front room except for Noelle when we arrived. So we sat down. Almost instantly Noelle walked in. She didn't look happy.
"Ok well I think I have a pretty good idea of who it is." Noelle said. She looked really stressed. She never lets her tough image down, but it was definitely down.
"Who?" Kiran blurted.
"Well I don't know how to say it but he was her ex boyfriend. They broke up because of well Thomas. Kiran and Taylor both gasped.
"You don't think…?" Taylor murmured.
"It couldn't be…" Kiran said.
"Well girls yes that is who I am thinking of." Noelle said.
"Even considering his issues he couldn't do that. Could he?" Kiran asked
"I know it's hard to believe but I do believe it." Noelle said.
This was really annoying. They could go through an entire conversation without saying a name.
"Well I mean he would do anything for her." Kiran said.
"That's true but who could put on that wig and stuff?" Taylor asked.
"Now that I have no idea of." Noelle said
"WHO IS IT?!?!?!" I screamed.
"Oh, woops we forgot they don't know who 'he' is." Kiran giggled.
"Well Reed, Daniel used to date Ariana. He was head over heels for her and he would do anything for her." Noelle said.
"We think that possibly when someone showed up and looked like Ariana Daniel thought it was her. Whoever it was probably promised that they would end up together." Taylor added on.
"Well Noelle went and talked to him and he seemed suspicious nut he wouldn't admit to anything." Kiran finished.
"Daniel?" Josh asked.
"Daniel is one of the other kids who vacations here." I said. "I know he has like anger issues and all but I don't know do you think it could actually be him?" I asked
"Well we don't know. We should go talk to him though. You should come too Reed." Noelle said.
"Ok." I said.
About 10 minutes later we were knocking on the Ryan's door. Luckily it was Daniel who answered.
"What?" He asked. He sounded irritated and annoyed.
"Why did you push me?" I asked. He broke down crying.
"Whoa don't cry lets go talk on the beach." Noelle said.
He nodded but he looked emotionally hurt. "Did you see someone that looked like Ariana?" I asked.
"Do you want to know what happened?" He asked.
"Yeah kind of," Noelle said impatiently
He was nervous and you could tell. He didn't mean to actually do anyone harm.
"You won't be in trouble we just want to know who dressed up like Ariana and tricked you. You won't get in trouble because I won't be mad. I promise." I said.
"Ok". He said.
"I'll talk. Let me first say sorry Reed." He said.
"That's ok." I said.
"Well it all started when…"
There it is! So what do you think happened with Daniel?
Who do you think dressed up like Ariana?
Who do you think Reed's stalker is?
