Chapter 25 Summary: “Josh”

Two weeks later, Josh and Kristen are attending the respective bachelor and bachelorette parties for Brandon and Sloan. Josh knows that Kristen turned down Tyler’s proposal, but they have not seen each other since their karaoke night because Josh and Brandon went on a call to help with a forest fire and were gone for 12 days. During that time, Kristen did not respond to any of Josh’s calls or texts, but he realized that she was getting information about him through Sloan.

Now, Josh is out in Las Vegas with Brandon and Shawn, and they are both teasing him about how upset he is that Kristen won’t talk to him. Shawn says he should try to meet a girl that night, and Brandon agrees, which makes Josh think that Brandon is losing confidence in Kristen’s feelings for Josh, too. After talking so much about Kristen and Sloan, Shawn gets frustrated with Josh and Brandon and throws their phones into the river, making it impossible to contact either of them.
