The Destruction of Love

The First Day

Josephine POV

It's been a few days since that day I had a mental breakdown in the balcony.I haven't told anyone about that moment not even my parents or Annika and Melanie.

It was a moment of weakness I've been better but that doesn't mean I'm still really confused about what everyone is hiding from me.I decided to let it go for now.I'll know when the time is right.

Hero and I haven't really spoken he's tried to tell me something I know but as soon as he opens his mouth he closes it.I use to not see the guilt in his eyes only in our parents eyes but now lately I've been seeing it to in his eyes.

I sigh and continue doing my makeup today is the first day of school.I am kind of excited but at the same time kind of nervous.Excited because I get to go to school with my childhood friends.Nervous because I am afraid as to how the kids are going to react to me being a Langford.Everyone back in Australia mocked me and really hurt my feelings with the kind of things they said.

I curl my hair and put on my school uniform which is a white button down shirt, black pleaded skirt which cuts a bit below my knee, and my black Louboutin boot heels, and a black and white stripped  tie.

I grab my backpack and go downstairs to eat breakfast.

When I get to the dinning room I see everyone sat down waiting for me to start eating.

"Good morning." I chirp.

"Good morning Josephine.Are you excited for your first day." Martha asks me.

I look over to mum and dad who both share nervous glances.There just as nervous as I am because of everything that happened in Australia.I did go to one of the most prestigious schools in Perth but the kids were still rude and mocked me.There were a few kids that were my friends that I actually became really close with them.

"Yes Martha I'm actually excited because I get to spend more time with Annika and Melanie." I gush I am really excited about that.

"Hero, son take good care of her." My dad asks Hero worry lacing his tone.

"Of course Stephen you don't even have to ask." Hero says in all seriousness.His green eyes piercing through me.

Right now I'm currently in the car with Hero.We are currently listening to his music.He has terrible taste in music.Although he always claims that my taste in music is the worst.We use to banter about this all the time.

I haven't even mocked him about this.I've spent the whole time fidgeting in and running my fingers through my hair checking the time making sure we aren't late.

"Would you stop fidgeting in your seat." Hero says all of a sudden.

"I'm sorry." I say just above a whisper.

He sighs "I know your nervous about this whole school situation because of everything that happened in Australia.But trust me everything is going to be fine." He says then me puts his hand on thigh.

I let out breath and I start to relax his hand on my thigh soothes me.

"You decided not to push me away anymore?" I blurt out. I couldn't help it I just need to know so one thing in my mind can clear out.
