the first time
Everyone looked like they were snoozing when Jonah opened the bathroom door. He was just in his black briefs, and it felt like a fridge in the motel room. Somebody liked it cold. He wondered who that could be who was hogging all the covers in bed with Noah and Josie. Lex? He thought it kind of funny as he cut the bathroom light, but he jumped under the covers as fast as he could in the dark before...
to sleep or not
“You know, no one really wants to sleep with you.” Lex looked at Jonah as if he could sleep in the car for all she cared. “Fine.” He shrugged. “I like having the whole bed to myself.” He looked over at the big queen sized bed. As it was Lex had Noah between her and Josie. It felt like a pajama party. She’d actually slept with both of them loads so it...
a pain in the butt
“You know, you really look great in those army boots, but would you like some flip-flops?” Jonah reached for a pink pair but grabbed the black ones with the skull and crossbones at Wal-mart. Naturally, Lex was her sullen self. Not saying a word. “I’m thinking we should all go in cognito. Change our hair color.” “What, be a carnie?” She looked up at him....
the next level
After pizza, Noah wasn’t sure he wanted to do this. “If you tell her, she’ll understand,” Jonah told him about this whole ordeal with her Dad. “Look, Lex is coming with me. We’ll do a little shopping. I’ll bring you back scissors and then you can have your way with Josie. I’ll save the other stuff for when we get to the cabin.” Noah nodded....

why not
“I’m ordering Dominos.” Jonah announced. “What would you like?” He asked Lex first.
“Why are you being nice to me?” She looked at him as if he had some other motive in mind.
“Just trying to get in your pants, that’s all.” He looked at her blankly. “Come on, what kind of pizza do you like?”
“Cheese.” Really, she...
good ship lollipop
“Oh, goodie, I get to sleep with my brother.” Noah said a little groggy as Jonah set down at the edge of the bed. “Are you out of your fuck’n head?” Jonah scowled. “No way.” “Yeah, I don’t think Lex will let you, you know,” Noah nudged his head toward the bathroom where Josie was taking a good 30 minute shower. “Did I say I was...
finally, a shower
“I need a shower,” Josie said right away once they got in their room. It wasn’t a four star hotel, but family oriented. It was nice enough. And two big beds. Josie dropped her stuff and went straight for the bathroom. Noah dropped his stuff by the bed and fell right into it. He yawned so big he might fall asleep instantly. “Did you need to go pee or anything?” Josie...
in a little world
Jonah hoped Noah kept his mouth shut about the whole Josie thing. Nobody needed to get scared. He was sure it would all blow over. God, he hoped so. But there always seemed to be her dad. Did he hate her that much just to sale her, or did he have too? Had he gambled that much away? Jonah didn’t really want to know. It was all a little vile to him. What was worse, what people could do to each...
traveling
Sperm travels faster toward attractive females….
Lex wasn’t sure why that headline was still on the tip of her tongue. She hoped she didn’t say anything about it. Really, she had no idea why it was on her mind.
“What did you say to him?” Lex looked at Jonah once they got situated back in the car. She was in the front seat with him and Noah and Josie were in the...
all so natural
Noah did his best to act natural. That nothing had been said. He was cool. Very cool. Just a damn cucumber.
“Hey, you’re wearing that shirt I got you for Christmas.” He acted all sweet around Lex. Maybe even flirty. He didn’t care, but she was wearing the scull and cross bone baggy T that was so her.
“So.” She remained her ominious self with her arms close to...
in the men's room
“Where are we going? What are you doing?” Questions. Questions were all Jonah got from Noah.
“I’m thinking. I’m thinking.” Jonah just nodded while he was peeing. “We could go to that lake we used to go to when we were kids. You know, Aunt Marie’s.”
“No,” Noah shook his head. “I don’t remember.” He went to urniate...
in the restroom
Lex could see who the real winner was here, and it wasn’t her. It was Josie. And she hated to be selfish that way, but if Josie fucked this up with Noah, she’d have hell to pay.
“Do you know how much he adores you?” She cornered Josie once they stopped at the restrooms on the reststop.
“What are you talking about?” Josie brought her arms to her chest to...
anywhere else
“Do you see what I see!” Noah looked back at the front window and saw the majestic scene. Something was happening. Something was actually blowing in the wind. Possibly parts of houses.
“Come on!” He took Josie’s hand and they ran toward the stair well. There went the car blasting its car horn.
But Josie almost tripped. She was a bit woozy and Noah had to grab both...
let the wind blow
When Jonah saw that little silver car at the red light, it was like his only chance to get out of this before it was too late. He’d seen how Lex had eyed him in the hallway at school. And it wasn’t that look..’oh, is that Noah.’ No, he pretty much knew that she knew who he was and what she really wanted. She was hawt for him. Amazing what one look from a girl could give you...
in a million years
Lex was unsure what she was doing. Really, she felt naked to be outside even if she was in her black skinny jeans and black tunic with the big scull and cross bone. Honestly, what was she thinking? She was out of her comfort zone, but she’d heard Josie’s cry for help and how they needed her.
Sirens were wailing about the bad weather coming. It did look ugly out. She grabbed her laptop...

dunno if I like you that way
Noah couldn’t stop sneezing as he stood there in the stairwell of the old building. He thought he heard someone calling out. He sneezed. It must have been nothing. He listened as he watched the dust settle around his feet. Just before he heard another yell, there he went again with his sneezing fit. He knew then he wasn’t meant for these conditions. He was going to Lex’s. But...
as your told
Jonah met the man on time. He was just the man as far as any of them were concerned. Jonah hated to look into his eyes because they didn’t seem to be of this world. There was just something creepy about Josie’s Dad. But he respected him, and knew he’d been there the longest in the gang and yet no one really knew of it except for the few who took orders from him.
Perhaps he was...
in a creepy little world
Josie blinked. Had she been asleep with her eyes opened? She looked back at the other side of the mattress expecting to find Jonah, but he wasn’t there. Josie didn’t move. She looked above and around her wondering how long she’d been here. She was too light headed to move. What had happened? She was so sedated as she struggled to lift herself up on her elbows.
Really the place...
told you so
A dark cloud was coming up. It was hot and steamy out. Noah was already in a sweat. he couldn’t remember the last time he was like this. This just wasn’t natural. He squinted hard as he watched the clouds come over the sun. It didn’t help much. He felt he’d dressed for winter now as he headed past the high school toward the old towne area.
He didn’t even know where...
where abouts
Noah got on her laptop right away. Of course, he didn’t find much other than Lex iming him.
Lex: what do you mean she’s gone?
Noah:well, she’s not here.
Lex: !
Noah:what am I suppose to do?
Lex: find her, fartface. Pronto!
Of course, she wasn’t going to leave her computer. She was the girl who never left the house. She was more pale than he was. She was the...
not a problem
Jonah was telling her something? Wasn’t he?
He’d found the perfect hide out.
“Nobody comes to this old building. You’ll be just fine here.” Jonah told her.
Of course, it was a lot to be desired even if the ceiling were high. The floor was crappy, but there was an old mattress next to the long window that looked out into the old part of town.
They’d gotten...
here goes nothing
Good thing for walk in basements. Or was that walkout basements? Josie thought it best to ditch Noah now before it was too late. She really didn’t want him in anymore jeopardy than she’d put him through. And she knew he liked the song and the show, but this was different. This was real jeopardy.
She headed for the tree line. She’d hide in the shade for the most part. She kept...
that's it
Noah turned on the TV while he waited for Josie. The local news was on. Really, he hated the news, but it caught him just in the neck of time as he stood there in the middle of the squeeky clean kitchen floor.
There was a picture of Josie’s Dad.
Noah stood speechless expecting the worst. He had been arrested.
“HELL YEAH!” Noah hadn’t smiled in a long time but this was...
sinking in
Josie got under the hot water of the shower. It soaked through her, and she still felt numb. The only words that were on her breath. “I killed him. I killed him. He’s dead.” Just little whispers echoed through her head.
She cried softly thinking how much she’d ruined everything. Everything. Now she didn’t want to go to Foster care. All this time, thats all she ever...
laying low
Noah was trying to get this straight. Exactly what happened to Josie’s Dad.
1. he was drunk.
2. he was mad that she didn’t clean the kitchen.
3. he thought she had a boy in her room because it was locked.
4. when he jerked the bedroom door down, she hit him with a frying pan.
“You keep a frying pan in your room?” He couldn’t quite picture it....
just because
Naturally, Noah didn’t think much about being there in her room. He’d seen it trashed before, and of course he’d help. He’d heard all the stories, all the complaints. Josie knew he was tired of it.
Before she knew it the door was back on its hinges and tightened properly.
“Good as new,” Noah didn’t smile about it. As always, Mr. Matter of fact.
...
so
There was no door on her bedroom anymore. Josie hadn’t slept a wink. Really. It had been a bad night. Finally, she crawled out of her bedroom window and went to Noah’s who was still up watching a marathon of HOUSE.
“Just watch some TV.” He told her with a yawn. “I’ll fix the door tomorrow.” Meanwhile he painted her toe-nails black to match his own finger nails. “Really, you’ve got to stop...
