hero's pov —

"do we really need a girl here man" I say taking a hit from the joint I've slowly been smoking on for about 30 minutes now.

"mate you love having girls here" Morgz says with a laugh and a punchable smirk. Yeah i love having girls here, but not having girls LIVING here. Especially if i've never met them before.

I guess you probably want to know what got me into this mess.

I live with my two best mates, Morgz and Felix. We live in an apartment in L.A, I'll be honest I like it, but it's to big for just the three of us. My home town is London, but with my modeling and acting career I didn't really have much of a choice. Yeah i like living with my mates, free drinks, having girls over all the time not having to worry about my mum and dad walking in. Plus i guess there pretty fun to hang with, I've known them since i can remember for fucks sakes.

I take another hit from my joint, then handing it to Felix on the couch. "We don't need a girl here, we have plenty around the house as we speak" I say with a laugh.

"She's one of your sisters best friends" Morgz says with a serious face.

"Who? Mercy doesn't even have any friends" She really doesn't, we'll at least the last time i saw her she didn't. Which was 3 years ago.

"Her names Josephine, she needs a place to stay during lockdown since she can't go back to her home town with all this covid shit man." Josephine? the only Josephine I know is, or used to be me and Mercy's childhood best friend.

"Her name isn't Josephine Langford, Is It?" I say with a shocking tone, while silently praying It isn't.

"So you do know her... how? You haven't seen Mercy In years." He states taking a chug of his beer.

"Um I don't, just a wild guess. I'll see you guys In a bit i'm getting pretty tired and need another drink." I do need another drink, but I do not want them knowing how I know her.

I get up from the couch and run upstairs to my room, i hear them whispering some dumb shit like "what the fuck" "that was weird." I honestly couldn't give a single fuck, they won't remember It in the morning anyways from how much they've drank tonight.

Once i open my door i grab my phone and click Mercy's name on the screen.

"What the fuck."
"Hero?" Mercy says.

"Yeah who else would it be." I roll my eyes knowing she cant see me.

"No need to be a dick, you just never call." Well now i just feel bad, this is why i never call her.

"I'm sorry Merc, i've just been busy." I lie. "I have something important to ask you.
