Disclaimer: I don't own Private… Kate Brian does!

Ok So I heard that they are making a web show series of the first four books of private!!! They are letting female fans to audition for one of the main characters!!!

Anyway I haven't really had any mushy chapters for Josh and Reed so I will put this chapter in. But be warned drama lies ahead!

Noelle hadn't come out for hours. She said she would tell us when Dash woke up. I was so hurt and I felt like in some ways this was all, my fault. If I had just been nicer and explained to him what was up he might not have been suicidal. Everyone had arrived and everyone was upset. Even Upton, Paige, Sienna, and Daniel had come. Upton had been glaring at Josh the whole time. Daniel, Whit, and Gage looked really worried and Josh wouldn't take his face out of his hands.

"Hey Reed, what exactly happened?" Constance asked in a quiet and shy voice. I was contemplating on whether or not to tell her everything.

"Well weird things had been happening. Dash had tried to kiss me and Josh walked down. He punched Dash and he believed me when I told him I had nothing to do with it. Noelle knew. I had old her about stuff at the restaurant. So she was upset and they got into a fight. About fifteen minutes later she went to go talk to him and heard a crash. There was a suicide note and apologies. I then found a note saying AO did this. He didn't try to commit suicide. Someone forced him to do it." I said in a hushed tone.

"Oh wow. That is terrible Reed." Constance said and gave me a quick hug and walked back to Whit to explain things I would guess. Sawyer and Kiran were in the cafeteria with Scott and Taylor. Josh was sitting by himself and everyone else was scattered in the waiting room. Noelle was still in Dash's room, which was still my old room. This hospital brought back so many bad memories. Yet it brought back some good ones too.

I walked over to Josh and just hugged him.

"Can we go somewhere a little more private to talk?" He asked.

"Of course, where were you thinking?" I asked.

"Maybe in the other waiting room," He suggested.

"Ok." I said and smiled as we walked over to the other room, which was just next door and practically empty, and sat down.

"So…" I started.

"Reed I have to ask, do you honestly have any feelings for Dash." He asked. He looked like he had been contemplating this for a while.

"My heart lies with you. I do love Dash but only as a brother and friend, never as anything more. I will always love you." I said.

"Ok…" He said.

"Josh, I am sorry that you ever saw what you did. I swear that I never meant it to happen. I didn't want to hurt him because he is a friend and I think that when he wakes up for you to forgive him would make him feel better." I said.

"You are right. Reed I was jealous that you liked someone else. But I know now that you don't and that something went on to posses him and we need to figure it out." He said. I leaned in and kissed him gently.

"I love you." I said.

"I love you too." He said.

"So what is going to happen when we get back to school?" I asked.

"Well I don't know. Me and Ivy did break up. I don't know." He said.

"Well we can take it slow." I suggested.

"I like that idea." He said.

"Now I was offered a place in Billings…" I said nervously. I knew how much Josh hated Billings and I knew how much more he hated Noelle. Who knows what could happen. It took Josh a while to respond.

"I say go for it." He said. My jaw literally dropped.

"I thought you absolutely hated Billings, and Noelle." I said.

"Well you don't hate them. Noelle is starting to grow on me. I realize that she really does want the best for you and that I do have to share you a little bit. As for Billings someone like you will change it there." He said.

"Josh, have I told you recently that I love you." I said.

"Maybe, but I can't remember." He joked.

"Well then, I love you." I said. He kissed me really tenderly.

"So Reed, when we do get back to school there is going to be this senior project thing and I chose art for my subject and I have to pick something to paint. Can you help me?" He asked.

"Yeah I can help you pick a painting no problem." I said.

"That isn't what I meant. Would you do me the honors of being my model?" He asked.

"Oh Josh! I would love to." I said and hugged him. I was excited. I loved Josh's paintings and was so happy to be in one of them.

"Also we are having a show for all of the projects would you like to be my date?" He asked.

"Of course I would love too." I said. We sat there for about 10 minutes. I was leaning my head on his chest and he was stroking my hair. I missed the days in the art cemetery were we would just stay like this for a while.

"Ok Reed, I have one more question." He said.

"What would that be?" I asked.

"Well…" He started. Just then Noelle burst through the door.

"He's awake. He asked for you guys. Reed Dash is finally awake." She said. Oh. My. God. After hours of waiting he was awake. Josh and I practically ran into Dash's room. There he was. His eyes open. He looked bad, but he looked upset.

"Josh, listen…" He started.

"Don't. I am sorry I over reacted. I know that you are sorry. I accept that you have feelings for Reed. I am sorry I punched you." He said. I was proud. Josh apologized and forgave.

"Thanks man. I am sorry." He said.

"Reed I understand you don't love me more than I brother. I love you, but only as a sister." He said. I was confused and by he looks of it Josh and Noelle were too.

"Finally, Noelle. I am a real ass. I was such a jerk and well I can explain." He said.

"I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have overreacted." She said.

"I love you." He said.

"I love you too." She said as tears started to fall down her eyes.

"So, Dash. Why the hell did you jump out of a window?" I finally asked.

"Ok. I knew I wouldn't last long without explaining myself. It is a long story." He said.

"And we have all the time in the world." Josh said.

"What about your plane?" He asked.

"Well once you are out of here we will find the first plane back to New York." I said. Josh nodded in approval.

"Ok so my story. Well it started about a week ago. Noelle you were with Reed because of what happened to her room. I walked into our room and Ariana walked out. Except it wasn't the real Ariana I don't think. Any way she pulled out a gun and said 'if you scream I'll shoot' so I stayed quiet. I asked 'what do you want' and she said 'to hurt reed. Now type these emails and send it to her on these dates' I was scared but didn't want to hurt Reed. So I said 'what if I say no' and she replied 'you might want to say goodbye to your precious Noelle and tell Taylor why she would be dieing sooner than expected.' I couldn't let that happen so I said 'what if I tell the police' and she said 'I'll kill you right now'. She held that gun to my head while I typed the emails and preset the dates. Then she closed the account down so I couldn't see it or try to warn you. She sad that if I told she would find me and everyone and kill everyone except me. I couldn't let you guys suffer. So when the day came for the mall Ariana ha apparently given me a drug and told me to be all over Reed. She also told me Noelle hated me and the drug partially sent my brain to sleep so I had no idea. When my brain returned to normal I went to go to you Noelle and we got in a fight. Ariana had then appeared once again ad pulled out a gun. She made me right the suicide note. I tore off a piece of paper and wrote the little note that I presume you found and she said 'jump or I will shoot' I hesitated so she pushed me. That is all I remember." He said. I was speechless.

"Wow." Was all anyone could manage to say.

"Um…I can't believe that happened." I said.

"Yeah me neither." Josh said.

"Reed could you leave us alone for a minute?" Noelle asked.

"Of course." I said.

"Wait one more thing. This bed sucks Reed. I know why you hated this room so much." Dash Joked.

"Ha, ha." I said actually starting to laugh. Me and Josh walked out and were practically stampeded.

"Well…" Gage said.

"Cool it Coolidge." Josh said.

"He is going to be ok." I said.

"Noelle asked for a couple minutes but I am sure she will come out and tell you when it is going to be ok to visit him." Josh said.

Everyone started talking and Josh led me back to where we had been when Noelle had interrupted us. He looked less stressed out and the normal color had returned to his face. He looked nearly perfect except for the one curl that always seemed to fall out of place.

"Well that explains a lot." Josh said.

"Yeah, it really does." I said.

"Reed I love you so much. I will never leave your side until we catch this AO." He said.

"Josh I love you so much too. What was that question you wanted to ask me?" I asked.

"Oh yeah, that. Well it might put a lot on your mind." He said.

"I don't care I just want to know." I said.

"Well I was wondering if we do get back to Easton, if we get back I was wondering if you would like to accompany me to the senior prom." He asked.

"Josh I would love to go to prom with you." I said.

"Really? You would?" He asked.

"Of course I would. I love you and I want to go with you." I said.

Josh got a smile on his face and kissed me. I was so excited that I was going to be able to go to prom with him. I couldn't wait for it. I was going to get all dressed up and blow his mind away with my dress. We walked back out into the crowds of our friends with our fingers entwined. I saw the anger lash in Upton's face and then saw Astrid and the sorrow on her and Trey's. They were crying.

"Astrid, what's wrong?" I asked. Josh still at my side.

"Reed, before we left…"

So I put good and bad in this chapter.

What is wrong with Astrid?

Do you like the idea for prom?

I will warn you there is drama up ahead but it will all work out in time for prom.

If I get more than a couple reviews back I will update.

Until next time.
