The second has been on there for a year and I haven't gotten it yet. :( It's still Kate Brian's
AN: Again written with little-miss-bella-cullen, most of the following was her idea I just write it. Don't hate me. I have a feeling you will anyway.
Josh POV
I spent the evening in the Art Cemetery. I couldn't stop thinking about how much I'd pissed Reed off. I knew how I'd make it up to her. I'd tell her the 'Boy Scout' story, and everything else she wanted to know about. It was the least I could do.
I was just painting, not thinking. I didn't have the capacity to think anymore. I looked back at what I had just painted in the last half-hour. It was Reed. I couldn't contain all of her amazing beauty in one painting. It didn't do her justice. I had an idea, I would give this too Reed. I have to do more still. She's too important to risk losing. I NEEDED to get my emotions under control. I refused to explode on Reed again.
I was done in the Art Cemetery, so I returned to my room to plan how I was going to talk to Reed. I walked up to my room in Ketlar, when I heard Thomas talking to someone. "I know why you won't tell me. It's me isn't it?"
Okay, a girl. I wonder who
Rather than walking in and interrupting, I decided to listen. I was curious.
"I like you Thomas." Reed! What the hell? What is she saying? I started walking away. I didn't want to hear the rest. What am I doing? I need to know the truth. So I turned back and marched right into my room.
Their faces were so close. They were about to kiss
OH-MY-GOD!
Reed POV
Josh. He walked in. I felt terrible. He got the wrong impression. He must think there's something going on with me and Thomas.
"I can't believe you would do this to me Reed." Josh said, shocked. I couldn't believe I'd let that happen.
Josh left, just as I had left the library, giving me no time to explain. Except I wasn't going to sit by and let it happen. "Josh please! Let me explain!" I pleaded. When he kept walking, I ran up to him and dragged him back into the room. He needed to hear this. I pulled him back so that he was well away from the door. "Thomas, OUT!" I yelled at Thomas. This was all his fault anyway.
"Pfft. Yeah RIGHT like I'm going to miss this." Thomas said
"Bastard" I mumbled low enough that he wouldn't hear. "Oh I'm sure you REALLY don't want to be here. This is YOUR FAULT!"I told him so only he could hear the last part. I didn't want to start a fight, not yet at least. It's inevitable that Josh is going to beat the crap out of Thomas later, but I needed to explain first.
"Josh, just please. Hear me out. If you still hate me when I'm done, feel free to never speak to me again. I'll leave you be, but just please listen to me first." I begged Josh, standing in front of the door so that he didn't have the option to leave.
"Fine. Start talking." Josh said, folding his arms across his chest.
"Josh, I came here to apologize for the way I acted in the library. You weren't here so I tried to ask Thomas where you were." I said. Josh huffed, I knew he didn't believe me, but I kept going.
"Thomas said he'd tell me, but he kept asking questions, so I answered them to find out where you were!" I was mad. I just wanted- no, needed- him to understand.
"Reed, I saw you about to kiss him. Explain that." Josh said angrily.
"Listen Josh, I know it looks bad, but I wouldn't have let him go that far." I said steadily "He was trying to intimidate me into telling him something, so I didn't move. If he tried anything, I would've stopped him."
When Josh said nothing, I turned away "I'm sorry Josh." I said at the door, "I'll leave now. I'll leave you alone." I was almost out the door, when Josh said "Reed, I need to talk to Thomas, please wait here." He was obviously mad, just more at Thomas than at me.
"Okay Josh. I'll wait. Just please tell me this, how angry are you?" I wasn't sure I wanted to know, but I needed to know before he left.
"At you, pretty mad. At Thomas, I'm just about ready to knock him out." I had no doubt in my mind that Josh would try that.
"Okay josh, I'll be here, just don't do anything stupid. I don't want you in trouble." I said firmly, taking a seat. It could be a while.
AN: so… what did you think? That little review button isn't working very hard. I'd love some more reviews. It won't take long. Another update by next Wednesday. I can't update this weekend because I'm gone but I'll try and update before that.
