Ok so last in the last chapter we found all the prom dresses! Yay! But be warned like I said overall the story has a sad ending it isn't in this chapter. Oh yeah and in most stories Tess and Tori are portrayed as sweet and innocent. In my story it will be a little different. They are kind of going to be little brats.
The dinner was amazing and the car ride home was a blast. We all had to squeeze in the care with poofy dresses and tuxedos. We listened to music and sang loudly out of tune. I was heading up the stairs with Josh to pack and Noelle was downstairs with all the other girls fighting over what movie to play.
"So what time is our flight tomorrow?" I asked.
"It is at like 7am so we will get there at like 9am. We will have time to go home and settle in and meet my parents out to brunch. They say they have a surprise for us after that but who knows what that may be." Josh said.
"So Lynn's girlfriend Gia and your 14 year old sister's boyfriends are coming too." I said.
"Pretty much," Josh said. We packed a few of my tee shirts and sweaters and a sweat shirt with. We also packed a few of my jeans and some snow boots. We were done packing but instead of going downstairs we decided to just talk.
"So what is your brother like?" I asked.
"Well he is normal and down to earth. I swear if you knew us you wouldn't know Tess and Tori were related." Josh said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because they are little brats most of the time like they are kind of selfish and superficial." Josh said. I didn't think anything of it because he was their older brother and well normally brothers think that of their sisters.
"Well then," I said.
"They are what I consider old Billings girl material. Billings has changed since you came around and the girls here are generally nicer." Josh said.
"Why thank you, I am quite tired and I think I will head to bed." I said.
"Ok, goodnight." Josh said kissing me on the fore head. I lifted my face up to his and hissed him on the lips. We kissed for a long time starting out sitting on my bed and we ended lying down. We must have been at it for an hour because we heard the girls coming upstairs. Josh snuck out quickly and ran down the hall to the back stairs. We didn't want the other girls to get the wrong idea.
"Reed!" Noelle shouted when she walked in my room.
"What?" I asked.
"You didn't come down." Noelle said.
"I know it took us a while to pack and then I got tired so Josh went back to Ketlar." I said.
"Ok, well goodnight I guess." Noelle said.
"That was so worth waking me up for." I joked.
"Well it is what I do best." Noelle said and walked out. Shortly after that Kiran and Taylor came in and went to sleep quickly. As I drifted off to sleep I dreamt of the wonderful time I would have in New York. Unfortunately my dream turned to a nightmare.
"I was walking down the hall of Josh's house when I saw blood coming out of his room. I went in to find him dead on his bed. I turned around and I was in Billings and Noelle was hanging in her room dead. I turned around to run and scream when someone stabbed me. I got one last glimpse of the person. Sabine. I didn't understand what my dream meant. I woke up with a shriek. It was 5 in the morning so I just stayed up to get ready.
Why in the world was Sabine in my dream as my killer. It didn't make sense. I took a nice long shower and got dressed in a comfy pair of sweat pants and a hoody. I told Kiran and Taylor goodbye and went to Noelle and Ariana's room to say goodbye to them.
I ran down the stairs and out the door until I reached Ketlar I couldn't wait to get on the plane. I wasn't watching where I was going and I ran right into someone and fell to the ground.
I looked up and Thomas peered down at me. We both started laughing really hard. Boy did this bring back memories of the first day of school. Thomas held out his hand to help me up.
"So, you ok?" Thomas asked still laughing.
"Yeah," I said smiling.
"This so reminds me of the first day of school." Thomas said.
"So what are you doing out here now anyway?" I asked.
"Well Josh said you were leaving and he had to shower still so he asked if I could come down and wait for you and tell you. Plus I wanted to say goodbye." Thomas said.
"Ok," I said.
"Well goodbye," Thomas said giving me a quick hug. He gave me a little kiss on the cheek too.
"Bye," I said.
"Have fun," He said.
"I will, I am going to run up and check on him." I said. Thomas nodded looking down at his shoes.
"I am going for a walk." Thomas said.
"See you Sunday." I said he nodded and walked away.
I ran up the stairs to Ketlar taking them two at a time. When I reached Josh's dorm I walked in without knocking.
Josh was sitting on his bed with no shirt on trying to dry his hair without messing up his curls.
"You are such a girl about your hair." I said giggling.
"Really, why is that?" He asked.
"You have to have your curls." I said.
"Well they are irresistible." He said.
"That they are," I said. He walked over and kissed me gently on the lips.
He grabbed a shirt out of his drawer. It had red paint splatters on the collar.
"Shall we go and catch our flight?" Josh asked.
"We shall." I said. We walked out of Ketlar together hand in hand swinging our arms with every step. We got in his car and he drove to the air port. I remembered driving home from Thomas's funeral and it being weird. Then hearing how Billings girls stole the car and tie him up. I shook my head from all of these thoughts and just relaxed. We were at the airport in no time.
We had first class tickets and we got on the pane shortly after we arrived at the air port.
"So Reed, like I was telling you watch your back with my sister's." Josh warned me.
"Why?" I asked.
"Well they are much more materialistic than I am and aren't the nicest." Josh said. I still assumed he was just being a brother.
"I'll watch my back. I have dealt with stalkers and killers and Thomas coming back. I think I can handle two fourteen year old girls." I said.
"Ok," He said smiling. Our plane landed and we got in a car to go to his house.
"Well I know Lynn and Gia are out but my sisters are home." Josh said.
"Ok are their boyfriends here yet?" I asked.
"No they are coming later." Josh said.
"I hope your family likes me." I said.
"They will, don't worry." Josh said kissing my forehead. We pulled up to a huge house. It was bigger than Noelle's house. I thought that was impossible.
"Welcome to my home." Josh said with a goofy grin.
"Wow," was all I could say.
"I'll get the bags you can head in. My room is on the third floor but explore if you want." Josh said. I nodded and walked through his front door.
His living room was actually normal. It was modern but normal not over the top expensive. Besides the huge flat screen T.V. hanging from the wall. I walked into the next room which must have been a ball room or something for parties because it was all marble. I went into his next room which was like another living room. This one was fancier and had two old massive spiral stair cases leading up the stairs. I was about to venture up them when I heard someone from behind me.
"Who are you?" I snotty voice asked. I turned around and saw two cute girls standing there.
"I am Reed. You two are so cute. Who are you?" I asked.
"Well we may be cute but you…never mind. Tess look at her outfit." The same girl spoke. She must have been Tori.
"Tori look at her hair." Tess said. They both giggled.
"Look at your ego." I said.
"Look at you attitude. You are in our home may I remind you." Tori said.
"Well I will be here all weekend. I am Josh's girlfriend." I said cheerfully. They were little snobs but Josh made them sound worse. I heard the door open and close and then footsteps going up the stairs. Josh must have been bringing our bags up.
"Well you are the gorgeous girlfriend he is always talking about. I liked that Ivy chick better. She had style." Tess said. I was pissed now.
"Let's get one thing straight I am Josh's girlfriend. You will have to deal. I like your brother a lot ok. And if you think you can shake me off remember my first boyfriend supposedly died and then your brother was my new boyfriend. He was accused of the murder of the other boyfriend. I found out I was really one of my best friends. Then she got arrested with other friends and I faced drama with a new leader of our Billings house who your brother I thought cheated on me with. He was drugged. Then the same girl had over dosed and died. It was forced. I was stalked. I almost cheated on your brother. He broke up with me and tore me apart. I got kicked out of Billings to find I was drugged too and it was my new best friend. She was sisters with the other psycho. She tried to shoot me but hit Ivy so your bother stayed with her. I went to an island and almost hooked up with a new guy but he left me for another girls and I was pushed off a boat to find I had a new stalker. Then I got back together with your brother. Then when I got back the girl who killed my first boyfriend and her sister both escaped and were on our side. One is in jail and the first psycho saved my life and told us she went psycho. She is living with us and becoming my good friend again. Then a boy and girl I knew got kidnapped along with my brother. Shortly after that my brother and, get this, my first boyfriend came back. He never died he was just being held captive. She didn't kill him. So he was trying to fight for me and caused problems prevailing his love to me getting your brother mad. It is worked out now so if you think you can shake me off, think again." I said with fake sweetness. I watched them as there mouths hung open wide.
"Well you just wait and see." Tess said.
"Oh and think about this, your boyfriends are coming. Try anything funny and something might happen about embarrassing things your brother will tell me might slip out." I said.
"You don't even like our brother you like his money. Poor girl" Tori said with much venom.
"Well maybe my brother will gain his sanity and realize that the other girl was so much better. I mean the way he looked at her. The way he admired her, but I am sure you already know of how much more he loved her. Too bad he went back to you." Tess said.
They turned around and walked up the stairs pushing me out of the way. I shrieked stomping my foot. Tess and Tori were so RUDE!
"I see you met my sisters." Josh said shyly.
"Yeah they're charming." I said sarcastically. He took my hand and led me up to the third floor, which he forgot to mention he had to himself. He had a huge bedroom he led me into. It was all artistically done.
"I did warn you." Josh said.
"I thought you were being a brother." I admitted.
"Yeah, so do all of my friends." He said.
"How much did you hear?" I asked.
"Well everything from, I liked that Ivy chick better." Josh said.
"I'm sorry I was so rude." I said.
"They were brats. Don't worry about it." Josh said.
"I know but I feel bad." I said.
"Don't and don't listen to them. I did love Ivy more or anything like that. They are just trying to scare you away." Josh said.
"Who have they scared away before?" I asked.
"Well they liked Ivy but they have scared away all of my friends. Thomas, Dash, Gage. Everyone." Josh said.
"Oh, they liked Ivy?" I asked.
"Don't take it personally she came home one weekend and they loved her for some reason." Josh said.
"Oh," I said. Ivy was cool and all but Tess and Tori liked her. They liked her but hated me.
"Reed they may have liked her more but they aren't important. I am important and I love you more than I did Ivy. I know it is a rough subject but come on. Did you believe them when I they said I liked her more, that I looked at her differently than I look at you. Quite frankly when I stared at her I saw your brown hair and blue eyes." Josh said.
"Really?" I asked.
"Really," He answered.
"Ok let's just try and forget that it ever happened." I said.
"Sounds good to me, I am going to warm up the car because we have to meet my parents out. Unfortunately we have to bring the twins with us." Josh said.
"That's fine." I said. He nodded and went to warm the car. I ventured back into his living room where I found the twins.
"You're still here? I thought he would have gained his sanity by now." Tess said. I could tell them apart. Tori had straighter hair and Tess had curlier hair.
"Yeah I mean he had already told us everything about Ivy the minute they arrived. I mean her home town all her awards. She had a lot by the way. Her achievements oh and how she had the guts to turn down that fancy house you call Billings. He totally showed her off. You it seems he feels like he has to be with." Tori said.
"I agree maybe he is guilty about all that stuff that has happened. I mean who wouldn't feel like you were the number one charity case. I mean a poor girl in a rich school with all these people out to get her. Yeah it seems like you are his charity alright." Tess said. I had been told I was charity before but this time it annoyed me. Josh really hasn't told them anything about me.
"You are a charity case aren't you? No wonder Josh is dating you. He is very kind and likes to give to charity." Tori said. I wasn't going to let them get to me.
"And let me guess the guys you are dating are so afraid that you will spread rumors about them and ruin them that they have to date you. Because if you weren't such brats and people didn't cower in you presence they would never go out with you guys. But don't worry no little girl could scare me after everything I have been through. I won't pretend to be your friend because I will never be your friend." I said.
"Harsh, too bad we are popular and you like we said…charity." Tess said.
"Popular…sure you don't just scare everyone so much." I said.
"A little intimidation is good." Tori said.
"Yeah but it isn't intimidation it is that they are afraid you will throw a fit and scream…like little babies." I said.
"Whatever loser," Tess said. Josh honked the horn telling us it was time to go. I had changed into jeans and a sweater on the plane.
I ran outside when the twins went to grab their purses and sat shotgun to Josh.
"So thanks for telling your family about me." I said some what venomously.
"I told them everything about you." Josh said.
"Yeah right," I said but then the twins came in and slammed the doors. I don't know why I as mad at Josh but I was mad. More than mad and it wasn't at him. Josh looked confused but once the twins entered the car he understood.
"So Joshy when are you going to get back together with Ivy? I miss the way you two were kissing any chance you had." Tori said with fake sweetness. This made me burn with anger. I felt my face turning red and I felt Josh's discomfort.
"Yeah like the way you two were I all overeach other all the time. Oh and how you would secretly whisper things in her ears in a loving way and she would giggle." Tess said.
"It was so romantic. Even how you acted like mom and dad and held hands everywhere like you were married." Tori said. Josh put his hand on my knee for comfort but I shook it off shooting him a glare.
"Oh and don't forget how when they kissed it was intense and they almost fell over each time. You could feel the intensity in the room. It made you want to love everyone. You loved her Josh you really did. You could tell by the way you kissed her. Why would you ever dump her for this ugly poor peace of charity trash?" Tess said.
"Why don't you mind your own business?" Josh said.
"Why don't you dump that piece of shit?" Tori said.
"Don't use that language in my car Tori. So help me I will tell mom and she won't be happy. Lynn has graduated from college and he still isn't allowed to swear so if you think you can get away with it you are sadly mistaken so shut up and be quiet because I don't feel like listening to your annoying voice ever again." Josh blew up.
"Did you remember to take your pills? Ivy always had them ready each morning with a cute love note set aside." Tess said.
Luckily we had pulled into the brunch place or Josh would have blown up. I knew he took his pills. I watched him take them on the plane. The twins got out of the car and strutted into the restaurant.
"Reed I don't know what they told you but they are lying. About all of it, I never did any of those things with Ivy. Yeah we kissed but they are trying to run you away." Josh said.
"We will talk about it later." I said angrily.
We got out of the car and Josh grabbed my hand. I shook mine away and he looked down at me sadly.
When we walked into the restaurant I grabbed his hand for support because his sisters were right there, if I hadn't I would have gone over there and slapped them. His parents had reserved a room. Lynn and who I assumed was Gia were sitting at one end of the table, Tess and Tori next to them and then Josh's parents on the other side. The only empty seats were next to Tess. I sat down next to her and Josh next to me.
"So darling how have you been. Josh has told us absolutely everything about you. He is crazy about you. I knew that other girl was sweet but not right for him." Josh's father asked.
"I am fine and you?" I asked to be polite.
"Very well thank you. How is your brother doing at Penn State?" He asked. Wow Josh really had told them about me.
"Um he is doing well. He is on a big break right now and is visiting Easton actually. One of our friends is dating him now." I said.
"So you must be, well how do I put it, stressed." Mrs. Hollis asked.
"From what?" I asked
"Well that good kid Thomas being alive. That shocked us. Plus the boat incident and well everything that has happened with those crazy sisters recently. Oh and that crazy AO person." She answered.
Josh honestly told them everything about me. Those little liars.
"Well I am stressed and confused but since Ariana saved my life things have been different. She admitted to really going insane and stuff. Sabine I just had a very awful nightmare about so I am not sure and as for Thomas well you know he will stir up drama. But I am honestly over him and well he needs to move on in his life because I have and it really worked for me." I said smiling at Josh. I gave him an apologetic looked and he returned an understanding one.
"That's wonderful." Mr. Hollis said.
The rest of our meal consisted of small talk and things about school and prom and just random conversations. It was only me and Josh for the car ride home because Tess and Tori went home with their parents.
"I really am sorry about my sisters. They like to make up lies and they liked Ivy better but not much. They treated her like crap too. I forgot to say that earlier." Josh said.
"I am sorry I listened to them. I feel like an idiot." I said. He smiled at me.
"Well I guess you owe me," He said.
"How do you figure?" I asked.
"You kind of flipped out on me for the whole not telling them about you thing." Josh said.
"Well how do I make it up to you?" I asked.
"It involves paint and walls." Josh said smiling.
"A paint war we shall have. Just tell me when and where." I said.
"Oh and I will absolutely not tell you when. Oh yeah one more thing. You have to let me pay for everything for you for the rest of this school year." Josh said.
"Fine," I said and we pulled into his house. Lynn and Gia were home but the twins were still out with their parents. They were grocery shopping. Josh told me they would be gone for a while because then they were picking up their boyfriends. When we walked in Lynn shook my hand.
"I am Lynn and this is my beautiful girlfriend Gia." Lynn said pointing at the girl standing next to him.
"I can wee why Josh loves you." Lynn said and then went to help Josh with something in the garage.
"So are the twins giving you a hard time?" Gia asked.
"Yeah they are trying to push me to the edge." I said.
"They are good at it. Don't listen to them though. Ignore them it isn't worth it. They did the same thing to me. Eventually they will warm up to you." Gia said.
"I hope so anyway." I said. She laughed Gia was a cool person. She was drop dead gorgeous too. It was a good thing most of Josh's family was nice. I don't know what I would have done if they weren't.
So Tess and Tori…how about them?
Don't worry Reed will be there to save the day at some point. I think I will do at least one and a half more chapters in New York maybe even more.
So Reed will come to the rescue of one of the girls which one should it be?
I don't have any other questions as of now except maybe one.
I said the story would have a sad ending, what do you think it is and why?
Review please. The more reviews I get the faster I update. The less I get the slower I update…
