I know it's been a while and I've got a lot to report.
The weekend was awesome. I spent a lot of time with Josh!!!
On Friday night we got to the camp ground. We put up our tents. I shared a tent with Jen and Lindsay. Molly wanted to share her tent with Greg...uggghh.
We built a fire and I was getting ticked off because one of the girls from NY (her name was Amy) was hanging on Josh. Why does that always happen? So I decided to sleep, only I couldn't sleep. Jennifer and Lindsay came into the tent and were talking. After tossing and turning I got up to go to the bathroom and found Josh sitting by himself by the fire. Perfect!
I walked over and sat down with him. He said he was sitting there because he wanted to watch the fire burn out, but he looked deep in thought. I wanted to get information from him about his feelings towards Amy so I teased him that she had taken a liking to him. He didn't seem phased so I took that as a good sign.
We talked for a long time and then the fire burned out. I said something along the lines of, "well, the fire's out...now what?" He gave me a flirty look and said, "I'm sure we can think of something to do." I'm sure he was coming on to me but Lauren walked out at that moment. It's like I'm doomed when it comes to Josh because the minute it seems like something might happen, someone or something interupts us.
Lauren had to go to the bathroom and was too scared to go alone. Josh and I walked her to the restrooms. When we got back to our tents Josh said that it was late and that we should go to sleep but "we'll have to finish our conversation later."
The next morning I was the last one up. Everyone was fixing breakfast and I saw Molly and Josh standing away from everyone else. Molly looked upset so I went to see how she was. Apparently things weren't going well with Greg.
Molly left for a minute and Josh and I were standing there talking about Molly and we didn't know she had come back. Josh was saying that she should dump Greg and go out with Alex. He was going on and on about how Alex really likes her and how much better he would be for her. Well, Molly heard the whole thing! I thought Josh was going to have a heart attack - he totally didn't mean for her to hear.
After breakfast we went hiking. Molly and I were walking at the back of the crowd. She was obsessing over her new information about Alex liking her. I kept trying to shut her up. I didn't think Greg would appreciate the conversation and I didn't want it getting back to Alex that Molly knew he likes her.
I kept watching Josh as we were hiking. He was in the very front with Amy and well, my ability to control my emotions had gone out to lunch because I was so jealous. I hate to admit it, but I was really ticked off that she was encroaching on my time with him.
Jennifer started feeling sick so we stopped for lunch a little early. The place had an awesome view. I was sitting with Jennifer and Lindsay and Josh was showing Amy the view. My emotions were really running high at this point. I got up and walked over to them. Amy must have sensed that I was mad because she quickly left.
I started giving Josh a hard time about Amy. He snapped back at me, "I told you last night that I wasn't interested in her! What business is it of yours anyway?" I gave him a look and just told him that he was right. What else could I say? He was right.
I turned away from him to look out at the view and he walked over to me and told me he didn't know why we were fighting. I said "me neither" and then I started to lose my footing or the ground under me wasn't stable because I started to slip. Thank God he had walked over to me because I think I would have been really hurt if he hadn't been standing there and hadn't grabbed me before I could fall down.
It's not like I would have fallen off a cliff or anything, but it scared the you-know-what out of me. Everyone ran over to me to make sure I was okay, and I was, but I was shaken. Josh told them to go back to eating their lunch so that he could calm me down a little. I told him I was sorry for bothering him about Amy and he said it was okay. He told me that I had to stay close to him the rest of the day so that he could make sure nothing else happened to me.
We were getting ready to head out again when Lindsay said that she thought we should head back. Jennifer looked absolutely miserable so we cut the hike short and went back to camp. By the time we got there Jennifer was burning up and Josh wanted to take her to the hospital. Being Jennifer, she refused to go. Finally Josh gave Lindsay the keys to his car and told her to take Jennifer to a hotel, and if things got worse to go to the hospital.
After they left Molly, Kelly and I talked more about Alex. Molly told me she wanted to see if there could be something between her. I told her to make sure of how she feels before talking to Alex. I don't want him getting hurt. She also told me that she was going to break up with Greg. I told her that she couldn't do that until the trip was over. I did not want to deal with their breakup. Our trip had already been too dramatic. Thankfully, Kelly agreed with me.
We had another camp fire that night and Amy wasn't hanging on Josh so I felt better about things. He was playing his guitar and we were all singing along. He started playing "With You" and insisted that I sing it. It was fun.
We made smores and told stories. It was a good time but I was getting nervous about sleeping alone in my tent in the middle of the woods. Everyone was starting to go to sleep and I just sat there, not wanting to go. Josh knew what was bothering me and asked if I wanted him to join me in the tent! I told him I wasn't that type of girl, and he laughed and said he wasn't suggesting anything "tawdry." I told him that it would be fine for him to sleep in my tent.
We got in our sleeping bags and we talked for what seemed like hours, but it couldn't have been too long because Molly showed up with her sleeping bag and joined us in the tent. She had broken up with Greg and didn't want to share a tent with him.
The next day we packed up and waited for Lindsay and Jennifer to get back with Josh's car. Jen was feeling better but not great. She said having a bed, heat and running water helped a lot.
I drove back with Jennifer, Lindsay and Josh. Now, I know you're going to think I'm nuts but this actually worked out well...Lindsay was nominated to the Homecoming Court and needed an escort. I'm working at the dance so I won't have time for a date. I fixed it so that Josh would take her. Lindsay has no interest in Josh so I don't have to worry about that, and this way Josh will get to see me all gussied up.
So that was the weekend. Josh and I defintely got closer this weekend. He took me out driving on Tuesday and we're going to go out driving again on Saturday.
