Paradise kept walking, but looked away every couple seconds, to him. Now she was sure, he didn't care about her. He just sat back down, and was probably thinking about all those stupid, desperate, girls. She kept frowning, as she walked back home.

Josh winced as a pair of bright lights pulled up the driveway. When they turned off, he realized it was just the headlights of his uncle's car. The husky man stepped out of the car, pushing Josh aside so he could walk up the stairs. 

"Lock yourself out again?" His Aunt spat at him, pushing him as well. He toppled over, falling onto the sidewalk. "You think he'd learn the first time." She unlocked the door, letting herself and her husband inside.

Lucy slammed the car door shut, scowling at Josh. "You're such an embaras sment," she hissed, kicking him in the ribs as she entered the house. Standing up, Josh glanced around in search of Paradise one more time. But, seeing as she wasn't there, he only frowned and trudged into his house. 

(( AAAAAAWWWWW! this is depressing...))

Paradise sat on her porch. It has been about 3 or 4 hours. She was sitting on the stairs, and she noticed, the later it got, the colder she became. She could feel her skin, icy cold now. Her lip quivered, as she shook, violontly. (( WOW i cant spell...)). She was so cold, her body hurt, and stung. A tear fell down her cold cheek, and she would have laughed if that tear turned into ice. She regretted walking away from Josh in that moment. She walked down to the gr*censored*, and layed down on it. Even the gr*censored* was cold, as more wind came and stung her face. She layed down on her stomach, and closed her eyes. Trying to fall asleep.

{ I'm sorry; storm wiped out all internet, phone lines and electricity yesterday ^^" }

Josh jogged up the stairs without saying anything, slipping into his bedroom with a defeated ex
pression on his face. The kick in the stomach was starting to make him feel sick. He laid down on his back, sucking in a deep breath. He could already feel a bruise forming from his cousin. His eyes slid shut, but he couldn't sleep. Not yet. 

{ I do. XD } 

Restless, Josh got up, throwing on a black t-shirt, a pair of jeans and snatched a sweater off the back of his door. Finally, finishing off his looks with a pair of sunglas ses, he opened the window up. He winced when it creaked.

Drawing himself out onto the roof, he decided he wasn't going to take no for an answer from Paradise. Careful not to slip, he jumped from the roof to an oak tree, shimmying down it. He was going to find Paradise, and bother her until he figured out what was really going on.
