Josh liked the feelings of her touching him and it made him excited. It made him feel confident, like maybe for just a few minutes he could be a normal kid not working his ass off trying to take care of his siblings and everything at home. For once he could be a guy ditching, having a good time with a girl.
Taking her hand, firmly this time squeezing it a little, after she stepped inside he shut the door quietly. They weren't really supposed to be in here, but no one ever came in here. They'd be fine. "Just stay close," he said and made his way up the stairs. Second floor. Third Floor. Fourth floor and another door. They walked down another hallway, made a little turn and there was the fire escape. Josh's heart was racing as he opened the door again and guided her out to the fire escape.
"My sister and I used to come out here and do this all the time." They could see the lake and the mostly abandoned park all around them. The huge reflecting bean just under the ladder that led to nowhere. "You climb down the ladder and let go and you slide down the bean all slow. It's fun. Ready?" He nudged her a little with his shoulder hoping she was more excited, this is fun than freaking out. Guess he'd find out soon enough.
