Living with the Logan Boys (EDITING)

Chapter 23

"Josh? Where are you??" I call out as I reach the bottom of the steps.

"In the kitchen!" He shouts back. I kinda skip-walk towards the kitchen door and lean on the frame. He turns around and drops the knife in his hand, his jaw drops and he stutters out, "Y-you pretty, I mean a-are you r-really wearing that tonight?" I lift an eyebrow and nod.

"Why... Is there something wrong with it." I say as he picks up the knife. he walks over to the sink and places it in before answering,

"No nothing's wrong with it I just...I.."

"Josh just say it!" I huff out.

"....Okay.... Idontwantotherguyslookingatyoulikethat" he speaks fast but I still understand him. I roll my eyes slightly before asking,

"Why does it matter? I'm not going to do anything or flirt tonight." he shrugs slightly and goes back to his sandwich and picks it up.

"Okay well we gotta go. Come on." and with that he walks out the door, with me trailing close behind him.

We pull into the parking area and Josh finally speaks, "Okay so I want you to stay with me at first okay? I want to introduce you and then you can go off on your own." he gives me a side ways look and I think he wants to say more but he doesn't. He just climbs out of the car and walks over to my door, opening it for me. I smile slightly and get out. Nodding my head I let him know that I'll do what he says.

"Okay well... let's go." and with that we start towards the beach. When we finally arrive I'm surprised at how many people are actually there. I also get a little surprise when everybody stops to stare at us. I look over at josh and whisper,

"Why are they staring at us?"

"Because I never bring anyone to these things, I usually arrive by myself... unless I'm with my brothers." he whispers back. I don't say anything, instead I just look around. Eventually after a moment people go back to what they were doing and I heave a sigh of relief... That is until two guys and a girl come running up to Josh, they begin screaming and jumping on him. I kind of take a step back, watching as he gets tackled to the ground, a small smile forming on my face. I would help Josh but... Wait, no, who am I kidding? no I wouldn't. Finally, Josh calls out "enough" and they all stand up, he laughs brushing himself off and then looks up at me,

"Ugh well Snow... if you can't tell these are my best friends Sam, Sawyer, and Sydney. They are triplets by the way.." I nod and laugh quietly,

"Hi, I'm Snow" I say waving. They all look at me and smile but send questions glancing at Josh.

"She's staying with us for awhile, my parents are looking after her."

"Why?" Sam blurts out. Josh looks at me unsure and I just say,

"My parents died and they were the ones that got stuck with me." They all stop for a moment before just nodding a moving on. It surprises me how chill they seem to react about it, they probably figured it was just a joke. 

"Anyway, Come on Snow let me introduce you to people!" Sydney screams looping her arm around mine and dragging me away from everyone else.
