Chapter 5

Previously: Josh POV: I'm catching a flight to St Barts tonight so that I can see her.

Josh POV

I was smiling as I ran out of the hospital. I was one step closer to seeing Reed. Ivy and me were all right, I think we will stay friends. My phone rang, I hurriedly looked at it. It was Noelle.

"Noelle, thanks for ringing."

"I knew you had a brain Hollis Now what's the plan?"

"I'm going home to pack and then I'm off to the airport to try and catch a plane."

"How quickly can you do that?"

"Give me two hours, why?"

"If you get there in under two hours I will have a private plane waiting for you and we can get you two lovebirds back together"

"Thanks Noelle for everything. How's Reed?"

"She's alright, slight concussion, bit of bruising but she's fine. We just got back from the hospital, I had to wait until she left upstairs before I could phone you."

"Is she in any pain?"

"Aww your so sweet, no the doctors gave her some painkillers at the hospital."

"Ok Noelle, I'm gonna go pack, I'll be at the airport in less than two hours, thanks for helping."

"No problems Josh. You better not hurt her again."

"I won't."

"Good, because I'll do anything to help my little sister."

"Bye Noelle."

"I'll see you soon Josh, don't mess this up."

Typical Noelle ends the phone call on a threat. I sighed with relief, in less than a day, I will be able to see Reed again. To talk to her and hear her voice. And hopefully get back together.

Noelle POV

Now everything was working out, I wanted the best for Reed. She was my sister, what ever happened between us in the past year. I felt regret for the things I'd done at school. I had cast her out, not listening to her explanations, turning everyone against her.

She deserved some happiness in her life, and I was going to do that for her. I would do anything to get back to how we were before that evening I found out about her and Dash.

I didn't know whether or not to tell Reed the truth of what happened. I decided it was better for her to freak out on me than on Josh. I wouldn't just ask her straight out, I'd have a conversation with her first. I knocked on her door loudly, hoping she could hear me over the music she was blasting.

"Come in" she yelled.

"God Reed, no need to shout"

"Sorry I couldn't hear you" She turned the music down so it was just background noise. "So what did you need Noelle?"

"I just wanted to talk."

"What about?"

"When we get home, will you move into my room in Billings?"

"You would want me in your room?"

"Of course Reed, I want things to go back to how they were before. You're the little sister I never had, you know that right?"

"Noelle I'd love to, and you known you're a sister to me too" I smiled, knowing everything would be ok now, but hoping my next bit of news wouldn't turn it around

"Reed, last night after you'd gone to bed I called someone."

"Who'd you call?"

"Josh."

"What! Why did you call him, don't you hate him?"

"I don't hate him Reed, he just doesn't get me."

"You're avoiding the question, why did you call him?"

"Ok don't hate me."

"I won't as long as it's not bad, what was it?." Here we go.

"I called him to tell him about last night. That you fell off the boat and that you still love him."

Reed was turning red, I could tell she was upset.

"Noelle, why did you do that, he didn't need to know. It's not as if he'll be with me, he's with Ivy."

"Ah, but he's not. He dumped her this morning. He phoned me earlier."

"That's a shame that they broke up." She didn't sound sad, and I could see a hint of a smile on her lips. I was glad that my plan was working.

"There's something else."

"Oh god, what is it?"

" He's on his way here to see you. I sorted out a private jet for him earlier today. He should be here in a few hours."

A FEW HOURS LATER

It was nearly 2AM, but Reed was refusing to go to sleep. She wanted to be awake when Josh arrived. Josh had just text me to say that he was on his way to the house, but I didn't tell Reed, I wanted it to be a surprise.

Reed was pacing around the living room, I sat watching her laughing.

"Bit nervous are we Reed?"

"Yes, what if he hates me, or he only came to check that I was alright, or if he doesn't actually love me?"

"Reed, don't stress, I know he loves you, you can read the text if you like?"

She just shook her head and continued pacing. She hadn't dressed up, just wearing some jeans and a black sweater. I hoped that everything went ok and they got back together.

There was a loud knock at the door. Reed span around, looking nervously towards it.

"I'll go get it, you wait here."

I walked out the room and quietly closed the door. The only noise I could hear was my shoes across the marble. I pulled open the huge door and Josh stood there, smiling at me.

"Noelle, good to see you."

"Josh, you too." I surprised both of us by pulling him in for a hug. " You ready to see her?" I asked him with a smirk.

"I can't wait. It feels like it's been too long."

"Come on then lover boy, this way."

Him and me walked towards the door, I pushed it open and ushered him in. I stood in the doorway and watched as he quietly said "Reed"

She slowly turned around and smiled. They looked at each other and Reed ran to Josh. They stood hugging for a minute and then pulled away. They kissed gently and tenderly. I left them alone to catch up.

I walked away smiling knowing that everything could go back to normal.
