Josephine Jacqueline Dupont was a girl from France who had recently moved with her father to New York for a new business opportunity.

It was just her father and her as her mother Jacqueline died during child birth. Josephine was born on December 24th at exactly 11:59 pm during a cold winter night in the year 1915.

When the father-daughter duo moved to New York they quickly bought a house and Blaise Dupont made sure he got a job as a high valued engineer.

He brought home enough money to feed both of them and live comfortably. It was a few months after the Dupont's moved to New York when Rosalie Hale finally met the new girl Josie Dupont.

The girls held an instant attraction to each other but they kept that to themselves. Especially since Rosalie was engaged to a man named Royce King the III.

Over time the two girls couldn't help the pull they felt towards each other and so they started to meet in secret.

They fell in love that was so great and so passionate. They loved each other like the moon loves the stars.

Their love was so infinite that even mother nature approved of them. The thing is, back in the 1930's people loving the same gender was seen as a crime.

Rosalie was going to meet Josephine since they were going to run away together. Though she went to Vera's first to see her and her tiny family before she left.

When she was on her way home from Vera's house she spotted her girlfriend and the love of her life being surrounded by Royce King the III and his drunk pals.

She briskly walked over as she started to hear Royce's drunk shouting at her girlfriend.

When she finally got close enough she heard him yammering on about how he found out she was a lesbian and was trying to convert Rosalie herself away from him.

Josephine yelled back that she wasn't stealing Rosalie away, she didn't have to ask she and Rosalie loved each other and weren't forced into a marriage that they didn't want.

Royce grew irate and he and the boys took her by the neck and started choking her. "NOOOOOO!" Rosalie shouted as she ran over towards her girlfriend who was just stabbed by Royce King the III.

Royce dropped Josephine's body on the cold hard ground and started laughing with his buddies. "Come on Rose. You love me not her." Royce said with a growl.

"Josie." Rosalie whispered as the light started to leave Josephine's eyes.

"Hey, I love you. I would never regret what we had." Josephine whispered to Rosalie while Rosalie held her hand.

"I don't want to forget you. I don't want to love anyone else. I can't live if you're not by my side Josie. We never got to dance that you promised me tonight. I love you." Rosalie said while she cried.
