"I was hoping you did." Josie says
Hope put her left hand on Josie's waist and her right on Josie's cheek..she pulled her in.
Hopes lips brushed onto Josie's plumped lips.
Josie hands run up hopes shoulders leaving shivers all along her spine.
"It's closing up! You guys have to leave." The security interrupted them.
Josie was the first one to pull away.
"We should get going as much as I don't want this night to end." Josie says
"Who says it has to end?" Hope asked with a smirk
"My mom.. I'm suppose to be back soon." Josie says
"It's okay love...we can continue this next time."
Josie cheek tinted with red.
"So is that your way of asking me out on another date?" Josie asked with a smirk
"Only if you want to." Hope says
"Okay..I'm down." Josie says
"Good..although I think going down is my specialty" Hope winked at Josie.
Hope didn't know where all this sudden confidence came from but she really was thinking about trying out the whole dating thing with Josie.

The next day school got cancelled and Hope thought it would be a good idea to hang out with Josie, Nick and some of his friends.
"Okay, umm jed says he's coming and Ethan said he's coming also." Nick says
"Are they coming just by themselves ?" Hope asked
"I'm not sure...hopefully they do." Nick says
"Okay... well I'm going to get dressed and then we can start making our way over to the arcade." Hope says
-
The day was going by faster than Hope planned it to go.
Hope, Nick, Josie, Ethan, Jed and Ben were at the arcade..
As soon as Jed showed up with Ben Nick wasn't in the mood for all that.
"How about we get 100 dollars worth of tokens." Ben says to Jed
"How about you shut the fuck up." Nick rolled his eyes.
"Hey, what's going on with you?" Hope asked
"Nothing...I'm just hungry." Nick says before walking off
"I'll go see what's up with him." Jed says before walking off
"Okay... that didn't go too well, it's probably because Nick misses Lizzie." Hope says
"Yeah... the last time they were together they were about to rip each other clothes off." Josie says
"Maybe...let's go pay for our tokens." Hope says before putting Josie's hands in hers.
Josie wouldn't admit this out loud but she got butterflies when Hope did this..
-
"What's up with you?" Jed asked Nick
"I don't know what you are talking about" Nick says as he walked towards the door.
"You never act like this Nicolas.. what's up...I'm your best friend and you are suppose to tell me." Jed explained
"I don't have to tell you anything.." Nick says
Jed grabbed his arm and turned him around.
"Bro just tell me." Jed says
"It's not that simple.." Nick rolled his eyes
Before Jed could say anything his voice was cut off by a much louder one.
"Hey Jed...and Nick right?" Mg asked as he put his hand out to shake nicks
"I'm good." Nick says
Mg nodded his head.
"I got the tokens and I'm—hey Nick." Lizzie says
Nick scoffed
"I'm going to go...tell my sister that I will meet her at the house." Nick walked out.
"Shit. NICK!" Lizzie called after him.
Nick didn't stop he just kept heading out not thinking to turn around once.
-
"Nick? Are you in here?" Hope called as she walked into the door.
"Hope?" Nick asked
"Yeah what's up, I heard what happened at the arcade...Jed told me." Hope asked
"Yeah...I'm not feeling good." Nick says
"What's going on?" Hope asked
Nick took a deep sigh.
"Remember when you came out to me.. you know the day before you went to jail?" Nick asked
"Yeah... how can I forget" Hope chuckled.
"How did you know?" Nick asked
"What do you mean?" Hope raised her eye brow
"Uhh—Never mind... I have to go." Nick says before he left out the door.
"Wait Nick!" Hope called as she ran down the stairs
"It's fine hope." Nick says
Hope was confused.
-
Josie walked out side to see Nick practically running out of his house.
"What's going on..?" Josie asked
Nick tried to walk pass her but josie grabbed his arm.
"Nick...you are having your panic attacks again... I can help you but there is people outside staring..we need to get you inside." Josie says
Nick nodded still unable to talk.
Josie held him up with one hand on his back and put the other by her side.
Josie walked Nick into the house.
"Hey jo I thought you were—oh..what's going on with you Nick?" Lizzie ran by his side.
"NO!" Nick yelled as Lizzie touched his back.
Lizzie quickly took her hand back.
"I don't want y—you t—touching me!" Nick was losing all control.. he never felt this way or had these attacks until he moved to this dumb place..
He hates it here.
Josie rushed him upstairs and shut her door.
"As your best friend seeing as what jed said... I want to know what's going on with you." Josie says
"I—I t—think t—hat—"'Nick stuttered
"Slow down Nick... don't rush out the words to fast just take your time." Josie tried calming him down.
Nick took a deep breath.
"I saw things that I didn't want to see today." Nick says
"Like what?" Josie asked
"I—I don't want to talk about it" Nick say
"Okay..so what do you want to talk about?" Josie asked
"Well, I think...I think I may be—well you know." Nick was unsure
"If you can't admit it out loud then that means you are unsure" Josie says
Nick sighed
Josie went to sit next to him.
"Why do you think this?"
"I don't know.. because I think I'm in love with one of my bestfriends" Nick inhaled. "I think—no...I'm pansexual."
