We where on the road, and Josh was smiling the whole time. As if he couldn't keep this a secret from me. I looked over at him with pretty close to wide eyes.

"What are you up to?"

"I can't tell you until we get back to the house." He told me.

"Fine." I said stubbornly. Was it really necessary?

About 5 minutes later, we where at his parent's townhouse and there was an extra car in the driveway. I slightly creased my eyebrows in confusion. I looked at Josh and he wasn't an inch confused. He opened my door for me and we walked inside together.

Inside was Hunter, Lynn, Gia, and even Rose. I did all I could to just keep my gaze away from her. The whole Hollis family was here, you know Mr. and Mrs. Hollis' kids. Tess walked up to me and gave me a hug. Even though she was only up to my shoulder, she still came and wrapped her arms around me. I smiled and hugged her back.

"Reed, I'm so happy you're here!" She exclaimed.

"Me too!" Tori smiled walking up behind her sister.

I just laughed. "So why is everyone here? I no one would let me know." I said turning around to Josh he smiled and took my hand.

"We all called you here because George is coming home! He's actually coming back." Mrs. Hollis smiled.

"And we wanted to announce it, even though Lynn went and told everyone…" Mr. Hollis said looking over at Lynn.

"Sorry," Lynn smiled.

"Well, here he is." Mrs. Hollis smiled. "George!" She shouted.

"Yeah mom?" I muffled voice asked from upstairs.

Mrs. Hollis took a step forward and turned her head so she was looking straight upstairs. "Come down here!" She laughed.

"Ok," Then a little 12 year old boy came walking down the stairs. "Hey everyone." He smiled. He was wearing an Abercrombie shirt that my brother used to splurge in back home. But I'm guessing the kid had a dozen. He walked up to me, he had blonde curly hair just like Josh. Whereas Lynn, had darker hair, like his mom's, that he spiked in the front.

"Are you Reed?" He asked me sweetly.

I laughed and looked over at Josh, "Yeah, I'm Reed. You're George right?" I asked.

"Yeah, it's nice to finally meet you." He held out his hand and wore a huge smile. I shook his hand and smiled back at him. Wow, polite much?

"I've heard so much about you." He told me.

"I've heard a lot about you too." I told him looking at Josh. He gave me a 'thank you' glance. Hence the fact he just told me he had four other brothers today.

"Really?" He asked his eyes lighting up.

"Yeah," I kinda felt bad for lying. But I know where he goes to school and how old he is.

"How about we all just hang out here for a while? Catch up with George, talk?" Lynn asked.

"Sounds great." Mr. Hollis smiled.

Everyone went to the place they where yesterday. Only this time, George took the love seat and Tess and Tori sat on the floor.

Josh was talking to his brother, we weren't on the couch next to Hunter and Rose. Josh one of those things that makes me fall in love with him all over again. He took a seat on the same coach Hunter and Gia where on. So Rose looked a little confused when he didn't sit next to her. Josh wrapped his left arm around me and pulled me close to him. I rested my head on his chest while Gia, Lynn, Josh and I had a conversation about the New Years party.

"Ohmigod! Reed guess what!" Tess shrieked.

"What?" I asked her pulling my head off of Josh's chest.

"We're officially going to Easton! I'm so excited!" Tori finished for her.

"Are you serious?" I asked laughing.

"Ya! Isn't this great!?" Tess asked.

"That's cool, are you going next semester or next year?" I asked.

"Next year, like we would want to go with Josh and embarrass him the whole time." Tess smiled.

"Wait! We can take classes now? As in, next semester?" Tori asked.

"Yeah, if you talk to the Crom." I told them.

"The Crom?" They asked in unison.

I laughed. "Dean Cromwell. Our new dean, but no ones likes him." I told them. And set my head back on Josh's chest he rubbed his hand down my shoulder to my arm and back up again. I smiled and Tess looked at me before saying,

"Why didn't mom tell us about that?"

"Because maybe she feels bad for me and Reed." Josh joked.

"You guys would love having us there!" Tori said.

I really wouldn't mind having them at our school. At least I didn't have to go through their hazing. A pang of guilt struck my chest and I bit my lip. Hazing.

"So about this New Years party." Gia smiled changing the subject. Thank you Gia.

"Yeah, me and my friends are hosting it. In the city." I told her. Noelle had called me a few nights ago, giving me the details of where this big thing was supposed to be. I just went along with it, glad that I was at least back in her circle.

"Am I invited?" She asked.

"Of course." I said with a light laugh.

"Good, we need somewhere good to go for New Years." Gia laughed. I smiled.

"So are you guys at the townhouses next door?" Rose asked us.

"Yeah," Josh told her.

"That's so great you guys are close to your family. We're like a ½ hour away!" She said as if it was the most horrible thing in the world. I looked up at Josh.

"Maybe we could move in with one of you guys." Hunter suggested.

No. A big fat no. No they where not going to be staying in our townhouse.

"We should!" Rose gasped.

"Josh's place is bigger." Lynn told them, so he was out of the picture.

"Thanks Lynn." I heard Josh whisper.

"We'll move in tomorrow." Hunter declared before even asking. George raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

"What if we don't want you guys to?" Josh asked smiling a bit to make it not sound as harsh.

"We're family aren't we?" Hunter asked.

"Where will aunt Sarah be?" Tori asked confused.

"Well Tess, maybe she can sleep in one of your many brothers vacated rooms." He told her.

"I'm Tori." She spat.

"Whatever. You two should just wear nametags." He smirked. The girls took that offensively and I saw Tess push Tori's hand down. She was pulling it my guess was to flipping off their cousin.

"You know, everyone left their room a pig sty." George pointed out.

"She's just have cleaning to do." Hunter spat and shut George up in awe.

"Oh, I'm so excited! We'll be here tomorrow. We better get home and pack up our stuff." Rose exclaimed. Her accent was dangling off her lips.

"Ok." Josh sighed weakly.

They both got up and walked into the kitchen to get Hunter's mom. They quickly left and Mr. and Mrs. Hollis took their spot on the couch. I sat up straight, not leaning onto Josh.

"That's so nice of you two to let them come live with you." Susan told us.

"I don't want them in the same townhouse as us." Josh whined.

"You already told them they could though." Mr. Hollis pointed out. "Hollis' don't fall out on promises." He took a sip of his coffee.

"Just imagine it, Hunter coming and waking everyone up at 3 with his sleepwalking. Heck, he might even destroy the house while he's at it." Josh threw his arms in the air.

"Josh, they can't be that bad." Susan said calmly.

"Mom! He doesn't even know who's Tess and who's Tori!" Lynn told her.

"He's known us for what? 14 years!" Tess shrieked.

"I know, he's just… not like you guys. Just be nice to him ok?" Susan asked.

"Fine." Everyone said at once.

"Now you two have people to make room for. You should probably go back and get the townhouse ready." Susan smiled.

"Ok, let's go." Josh offered his hand and helped me off the couch.

"Bye," I told everyone. And then came to the foyer, Josh had our coats. He slipped mine on me and then put on his own. We got into the car and I immediately looked at Josh.

"So their really going to be living with us?" I asked.

"I'm sorry." He apologized and squinted his eyes closed as if he was killing himself inside.

"It's ok I guess. I mean, we could just hang out with friends the whole time." I shrugged.

"I guess you're right. But I didn't even get to put in an opinion. He just randomly made it all up." He pointed out.

"I know, it's ok. We'll get through it." I said and took his hand.

"I hope. I only hope." Josh told me.

Little did he know that I hoped just as more than he did.

Yet another blahh chapter. It's just intorducing the next big even that's going to happen on their vacation. It was short, but I am getting tired of being on the computer soo much.

I consider this chapter as like a first chapter of a book. It's boring, but you need to to give off information. It's not really a filler, but not the best. But next chapter, Rose and Hunter move in, and then Hunter does something that will set everyone off.

review please!
