Josey Di Angelo (A Nico Di Angelo Story)

15

I apologize if details are wrong or off slightly but I've never been to America so I'm kinda just making things up as I go along.

<Nates POV>

While on the boat, I could see Josey's face turn even paler as the boat rocked more. We both know that Poseidon doesn't hate her and Nico's guts like Zeus, and he wouldn't sink a ship with about 200 people on board. But they're both still terrified when on the sea. "Naaaate! Hold me," Josey whined from beside me. Chuckling, I put my arms around her and pulled her into my lap, "Is this better, angel?"

"Much," she said and placed her head under my chin, and held my hand. Slightly too tight to be comfortable but I'm not going to say anything about it. The boats inside part held about half the people on board, it was getting more crowded and I noticed Josey growing tense and more anxious as the number of people increased. "Hey, hey Jose. I know the number of people is getting to you and being on the sea isn't helping any. Let's go outside, yeah?" I whispered in her ear and received a relieved smile.
We took our bags and weaved through the crowd to the door onto the deck. Josey never let go of my hand.

"Thank you, it was getting a bit much in there. Ti voglio bene," she hugged me tight, burying her head in my neck. Admittedly I'm really quite worried about her. She was still walking with a limp and leaning on me quite a bit. I trust Will's medical experience, and i do believe he sorted it but that doesn't take away my worry for her.

About 5 minutes later we had arrived at the island and we were herded off the boat. Catching up with Will and Nico, we grouped together away from the very large group of tourists. "Hey, guys, what do suggest we do? Just look around for something out of place, wait for something to happen or, I don't know what else. What do you think?" I said to Nico and Will.

"I think that we should split into pairs and look around. How about we all signal if something happens or I don't know," Will turned to look at Nico for his reaction. "That sounds good sunshine. Come on Jose, let's go," he and Josey walked off together towards the left of the island, around the perimeter. "Well, I guess we're together then. Do you want to go the other way and when we meet them we could all go up the inside?"

"Sounds good, come on then Will, let us be going," with that we walked in the opposite direction. The island was pretty busy with tourists, so we're all on high alert in case some of them turn out to be monsters. I didn't really want a repeat of the Cafe.

The sun was poking out of the clouds but not enough the be warm enough, pulling my hoodie tighter around me, Will and I walked in companionable silence. Nothing so far. I'm really intrigued by what could happen. The line that confused me was where it said in Latin 'The moon shall help but beware' that was the bit I was curious about. Like what could that mean?...

<Amari's POV>

I was seriously getting worried about Josey. I think all our friends are. After she got that phone call in maths and just got up and left I didn't know what to think. That was yesterday and she hasn't texted or called any of us.

"Hey Guys, have you any ideas about what could be going on with Josey? Like what was that phone call about," Lee, Brian and Izzy all looked at me, clearly all thinking. "I'm not sure. I've been wondering for a while if every thing is okay at home because of a few different things she has said and done. Do you think we should call her to check in on her?" Lee worriedly said. "That's probably a good idea to be honest. How about at lunch we gather in the common room while everyone's getting food and do a group video chat or something. But we definitely need to fill something about this. I'm getting seriously worried," Brian replied equally as concerned. "Yeah that works. Cause she drops the bomb she'll on us of having a twin, turn leaves half way through the day with no explanation for either event. That's not very normal," I agreed.

Later, we all gathered in the common room around Brian's laptop to try and reach Josey. "It's ringing," Izzy said. "It's still ringing. "Aaaaannd, it's gone to voice mail."
"Here, I'll try again. Maybe she'll pick up. If she doesn't, I don't know what we do," Izzy said, beginning to sound worried. It rang and rang but on the third ring she picked up! It was a very glitchy image of what look like the statue of liberty? "Uh, hey guys. Not..urgh. the best... argh....time to talk." She said between grunts and heavy breathing. "Can I....urgh fuck of would you! Call you back later? AHH! Ow! Or is it really important?" I'm seriously confused as to what's going on. The screen keeps glitching to show Josey with her hair up, the first sign something focus requiring is happening, showing a guy with a baseball bat who looked vaguely familiar and Josey holding a broken ruler. "It is kind of urge- *grunt and sound of a small explosion* -nt. But we'll call back later. You better answer!" Lee said to her. "Ah fuck, right okay bye!" With that the call ended and we all just sat there not really knowing what to think about everything that just happened.

"Can I be the first to say, what the actual fuck just happened?" Brian said disbelievingly. I agree what the hell. "Well, were supposed to be calling her later so do you guys want to come to my house after dinner? My mum loves you all and would be happy to have you over for a bit," Brian suggested. "Sounds great dipstick," with that Lee punched him in the arm, "I'm still recovering from whatever just happened but I promised Eli that I would sit with them at lunch. They are my significant other to be fair. With that they turned and walked off, not before flipping Brian off.

Honestly, I don't know what to think about Josey, she seems to be living two lives and we only know of one. I wonder what else she could be hiding...
