Maybe, Maybe Not

Emotional Whirlpool

Josie POV:

I still had no control over my body, and the
more I scolded people, the worse the emotion
became. Life. Sucks. What is it that I am
envious about? What triggered this emotion?
I try to recall the past, but my memories are
clouded. But once I see Her with Him,
everything changes. Why am I jealous of Hope being with Landon? There's no way, I like Landon, he's literally crying over there.

I decided not to tell Landon how I felt because Hope is a friend of mine, and I could never do such a thing to her she's so sweet, nice, beautiful, charming and just as perfect in every way. I was about to turn around when I realized Hope had been calling for me, she asked me annoyed if I would help her take Landon to his room. As we got to Landon Room I asked him why he was crying and and he turned to Hope and I before looking down and explaining that it was nothing.

N/O Pov:

In actuality, Landon was crying because he felt he wasn't good enough for Hope or the school, that he was useless and replaceable. Hope was always there for him, and he was supposed to be the man in the relationship, saving the princess, but the princess kept saving him. Landon adored Hope but was afraid she would leave him. Of course, he couldn't tell Hope since she'd never be completely honest with him about it, and he knows she'd get bored of hearing it. He didn't want to be seen as soft or overly sensitive. Landon requested Josie and Hope to leave him alone, knowing that the tears had irritated Hope. This aggravated her feelings even more.

Hope POV:

Leaving Landon alone helped to relieve the severe headache I was experiencing. I know it seem terrible but it was such a relief. Josie must've sense the relief because she laughed and said " needed a break huh" I smiled naively and sheepishly responded " yes" I hesitated

" I know that sounds horrible but I just need a few minutes to myself without a weeping teenager lover following me" I confessed feeling the emotion slowly go away.

I adore Landon, but he can be pushy at times, and when he believes he knows best or simply assumes things about my thoughts or myself, it makes me regret dating him. "I had no idea a phoenix required so much attention; next time, remind me to get an ordinary bird,"

Josie laughed at my joke, and her eyes twinkled like honey, so rich and lovely. Rather than being annoyed , lust took its place. "Now that you know my secrets, tell me about yours." I flirted. Josie gowned and looked down, "I don't know... I think I may like Landon but being around him doesn't make my heart skip a beat" she continued.

Landon and Josie? I'm sick to my stomach from the thought. As I looked up and saw her terrified, Josie may have mistook my stillness for anger. I quickly replied that it was fine, since I didn't want Josie to feel that way. I hesitate as a nefarious thought enters my mind. "How about we check to see whether it's true?" As Josie gulped, realizing what I was inquiring.

Lizzie POV:

I skipped down to the hangout area after leaving my room and spotted Mg; I grinned, and he grimaced. Everyone had either cooled down from expressing themselves or had simply retired for the day. It had been hours since the frenzy. beginning at 10 a.m., and it was now 11 p.m., which meant that by the time the morning bell rang, the 24 hour emotional whirlpool would only have a few hours left.

I sat down in front of him. "I'm tired of being your second choice," he said as I reached for his hand. I smiled and lean in to kiss him, but before I could, he turned his head and said, "I'm serious Lizzie." I'm tired of being used. I like you, and you know it, but you continue to treat me like a chess piece." He then got up to leave as I pulled him back down, saying, "sort out your emotions Lizzie, I can't wait for you forever," as he walked away from me.

I couldn't even bring myself to tell him I liked him, to afraid of letting someone in beside Josie and sometimes not even Josie. I strolled back to my room, feeling like a coward, and decided to sleep the day away, no longer happy but insecure. I looked over to my Twin bed, but there was no sign of her. I groan and fell to my bed.
