After Caleb and left Hope had gone to her room to find an angry Josh inside. ‘Josh what are you doing here?’

‘Not much.’

‘Are you okay you sound angry?’

‘So you and Caleb are back together again?’

‘Is that what this is all about? Of you have a problem with me and Caleb I’ll tell him I just want to be friends.’

She’d do that for me?

‘Look Josh I don’t want to come between you and Caleb he’s your friend and I don’t want to be the cause of any arguments between the both of you.’

He looked at her. She looked so sincere.’ You don’t have to do that Hope. We can all be friends I’m sure I can live with my friend dating my sister.’ I cringed.

‘So we’re brother and sister now?’

‘I hope so. Look I just don’t want you getting hurt that’s all I know Caleb snd I don’t want you in tears of he finds someone else, he isn’t good at sticking around.’

‘I’ll be fine Josh. I’m stronger now and I’m sure I can take it if we don’t work out.’
