Monster's Daughter (Legacies Fanfic)

Aftermath PT.2

"I mean is she okay, I haven't checked in on her in a while I mean Lizzie saw her and was super upset afterwards,and we didn't leave in the best place and I've been trying to give her space." Josie rambles breaking into a cold sweat.

"Josie take a deep breath please"Cami calmly asks

Josie takes a deep breath and places her hands in her lap. "Sorry"

"No need to apologize you are just upset"

"I don't like that word it makes it sound like I caused a scene or had a temper tantrum" Josie sighs trying to calm herself down.

"What word should I use" Cami looks up from her notepad

"I don't know....busy" Josie shrugs

"Busy" Cami repeats

"Yes, Busy" Josie nods

"Could you describe what being busy is to you?" She says before dropping her head and starts writing 

"Busy is just when I have a lot on my plate and I'm trying to take my time but everything keeps piling on and I have to pick something"

"What did you pick"

"Hope,always hope" She nods

"What about you" Cami looks up

"I'm ok, but Hope isn't and it makes my busy"

"Josie you don't seem ok, you seem overworked and exhuasted"

"I love her and I can't imagine life without her and I've already almost lost her, I can't lose her" tears drip from Josie's eyes

"I know you love her but you need to take care of yourself, and you should tell Hope your concerns and that all of this is making you 'busy'" Cami sypathetically advises.

"We haven't even talked about her shutting down or Little Hayley," Josie sighs wiping her tears away 

"I had never seen her so scared and zombie-like...sorry" Josie blushes and apologizes

"No apology necessary,continue" Cami laughs

"She just stayed and bed and barely ate anything or got out of bed, She would cry,shiver and bury herself in her covers then she would whisper to herself or maybe to Esther. She wouldn't let me or anyone else near her. Freya was the only one brave enough to go in there and hope would tremble when she was with her. She spent so much time trying to calm herself down when she was around freya;because all she could think about was when she couldn't see or hear and Freya slashed open her hand. She tried not to act like it bothered her so that Freya wouldn't feel bad." Josie rests head in her hand "She was so afraid she lost her mind. She would see people we couldn't and would talk to them and she would feel and hear things no one else could explain.She was so miserable" Josie starts crying again.

"How did that make you feel"

"Thats selfish" Josie tries to stop crying

"Its not selfish Josie its human, its witch, it vampire,its werewolf,and it's Zombie" She says empatheticly

"I felt misarable the person I care about most was practically dying in the other room and she wouldn't even look at me" Josie starts sobbing

Cami pulls Josie into hug and just lets her sob about how unfair the situation was.
