Josephine POV

I'm currently laying in bed right now starting at the celling. I'm thinking that tomorrow I have to go back to Perth.I am happy that I finally get to go home I miss the beach and the sun everyday here in London is either raining or it's freezing the only day that was nice was the day we had that football game.

I am really sad to leave London I'm really going to miss the gang. I have really become close with them they have become my best friends.Annika, Melanie, and I have really boned we tell each other our deepest secrets and just talk about he girl things . It's funny how I've only known for a month but I feel like I can't trust way more than my friends back in Perth who I have known since I was a baby.

I continue to stare up at my celling until I hear a soft knock at the door.I go to open it and find Hero standing outside my door. I pull him in quickly because if my parents knew I were still up they would kill me.

"Hero what are you doing here?" I whisper. " I came to take you to watch the meteoro shower with me" "if my parents find out that I went out this late night just the two of us they would kill me" " they won't find out just trust me Jo have some fun." I think about it for moment weighing the pros and cons but I eventually give in. I've learned that in the few weeks that me and Hero have been hanging out I just can't say no to him and he can't say no to me. I actually hate it it's always been very easy to say no to everybody but with him it's different.

We walk down the stairs with a flashlight in one hand and his other hand holding mine. We try to take very small and quiet steps. We go through the back door of the kitchen I was sweating the whole time but when we made it outside I led out a a sigh of relief.

Hero and I run to the middle of the field and I noticed that he has everything set up to watch the meteor shower he knew I wasn't going to say no to him.

I realize that it was a good idea he put a blanket because then our pajamas would have gotten dirty and I for sure would have gotten many questions from my parents. He is wearing black Adidas sweatpants and a Nike shirt and his black trainers well I am wearing a star set pajama pants and long sleeve shirt and my white slippers it's like I subconsciously knew that there I was a meteor shower even though I didn't.

We sit down on the blanket waiting for the meteor shower to begin. "Jo?" Hero suddenly speaks up we've been sitting in silence for while now."Yeah?" " You're really going back to Perth tomorrow?" I can't help but notice the sad tone he is using. I let out a sigh " Yeah I am I mean I've missed home the beach and my friends and of course my house but I've really liked spending time here at the manor"

"Do you know when you're coming back?" I think about his question for a second. I really don't know when we will see each other again I hope it will be soon. "No" " Well in case you don't know when you're coming back I've already asked mom and dad to go visit you for Christmas break in Perth."

I sit up shocked by his words "Really?" I can't help the shock on my face." Yeah of course I-If that's okay with you?" He stutters in response I wrap my arms around him and nuzzle my face into his neck.

"Of course I would love that." We look up at the sky and see the meteor shower has started we both sigh and just sit there in silence holding each other.

I finish zipping up my suitcase suitcase I let out a sigh. I am really going to miss this place in the month that I stayed here I have come to love it sure the weather might be different than Perth but I feel so at peace so at home here.

I love everything about this manor the view the vibes you get from it and most of all the company.I look at the room one last time before zipping up my suitcase. I really don't want to go downstairs saying goodbye has never been my thing most of the time I either get in the car really quickly or just simply hide.

I know that I can't just not say goodbye and hide. I have to say goodbye to Hero he deserves it he has done nothing but well my hero since they moment in the waterfall I have come to adore Hero and feel something really special towards him I don't know what it is but I don't really want to find out what it is right now I just want him to know how much I'm going to miss him.

After checking around one last time I finish up my suitcase. I take one last look at the room and try to keep myself from crying I really love it here and I sure am going to miss it.

I go downstairs and find mum and dad saying goodbye to George and Martha. I go to George and Martha first and thank them for having us and that I'm going to miss them. They both tell me that it was there pleasure and hope to see me soon and I am welcomed anytime.

Last but not least I say goodbye to the person who has become someone very important in my life my hero literally. We both look at each but I say nothing and just wrap my arms around him and muzzle my face into his neck and just full on sob and he does the same.

Once we are both a little bit more calm we look into each other's eyes. He cups my cheeks brushing my tears with his thumb."Love listen to me." he raps "Just know that you mean everything to me and no matter what happens know that you'll have a special place in my heart I have come to not only be my best friend but the person I care about the most and just know that no matter what my heart belongs to you."

I can't believe he just said those things to me I let out a sob "Hero" I say just above a whisper. "You also mean everything to me no matter what happens you will always have a special place in my heart you are and always be my hero you saved me that day and I am forever thankful for that and just know that my heart also belong to you."

We just stare at each and we give each other one less hug before mum and dad say that we have to go. I let go of Hero I start to walk out of the door before I turn back one last time and look at Hero "Goodbye Hero" I sob "Goodbye Josephine" he also sobs before  I walk out the door.

I get into the car and I just breakdown this was the hardest thing I have ever had to do this is why I don't like goodbyes I'm not good at keeping my emotions in check.

We arrive at Heathrow and get into the private jet to take us home as soon as the plane announces that we are set to broad for Perth I look out the window and let one last year slip my check. As soon as the plane starts to take off I feel a sense of loneliness take over me I just hope to see him soon one day which I know I will my parents said that him and his parents
will come to Perth during Christmas and we will come back to London during the summer. That still doesn't make it any easier tho I will really miss him.
