Chapter 12

AN: I got one review I really liked, giving me advice to improve my writing. I would reply but it was anonymous. So thank you to Haylee. You comment was very much appreciated. I love the others too. I like to know when you REALLY like it as well.

Josh POV

I couldn't believe Thomas. He actually did it. He hit on Reed, even though I told him not to. When Reed asked me how mad I was, I told her the truth. She was scared. I knew she had good reason to be. She'd seen me explode, had I not taken all my meds today, I would've again. I was still going to knock Thomas' face in. He deserved it. He knew how I felt.

I found Thomas in Trey's room. They were sitting there in silence. "THOMAS! Get over here!" I yelled. I was PISSED OFF. I really didn't want to deal with his crap right now. Apparently, Thomas could tell.

"What the hell Thomas?"

"What's your problem? I don't see you doing it anytime soon." Thomas replied

"What about Ariana?" I asked silently adding your girlfriend

"What about her?" Thomas asked, attempting an innocent look.

"She's gonna killyou" (AN: ha-ha, double meaning)

"Nah, no she won't. You just don't know how to handle girls like I do."

Oh sure. I'd seen him handle a bunch of girls before.

"Thomas, just stay away from my girlfriend." I said as I left Thomas standing there shocked.

Oh crap! Did I just say that? I asked myself. Do I really feel that way about Reed? Yeas I do. I realized.

I couldn't believe what I'd said to Thomas. I had to tell Reed the mistake I'd made. I didn't want her to find out from Thomas. I tried her cell 14 times. She didn't answer, and she wasn't in my room when I got back. I decided I'd have to be a bit more old fashioned.

I wrote Reed a note, apologizing over and over again. I knew she was mad for all the horrible things I'd said. At the very end of the note, I wrote Reed, I think I'm in love with you. Then I signed it. Now all I had to do is slip it under her door without her noticing right away.

I snuck into Bradwell, past the commons, now almost empty and up the stairs to the third floor. I walked up to Reed's door and silently slid the note under the door and left. I hoped Reed would read it and respond. I could only hope with all my heart that she would feel the same way.

AN: So sorry it's so short, I'll try and get one more up before the weekend, otherwise it will be up early next week. Thank you all for your patience and comments!
