Virgin Mary

47/Christmas Party.

Josephine

1 week later.

It's saturday now and I've been here the whole week and my Aunt has not let me mope around and be upset, not technically upset but get into my thoughts about everything bad that could possibly happen to me.

When we got here monday morning at like 4 am we both went to sleep and she ended up going back to work at like 1pm. I made tea and ate muffins, emailed my teachers and got some of my work because If I'm not going the entire week I would be soooo behind..

I ate so many muffins this entire week. Hero called me early as hell monday morning, I didn't answer. I don't want him to know where I'm at. I need space and he won't accept space.

After my Aunt got home she cooked food and May and Oliver came over. We watched a dating show the entire night and they ended up sleeping over and we had a late night talk about just life, it was so nice. It's like they're teenagers and they aren't. Christmas is almost here, there is 12 more days and my Aunt has finished decorating and her house is so gorgeous for christmas.

Tuesday we went to breakfast all four of us, Oliver brought his boyfriend though and gosh they were hilarious. I got so much food because they always get like five appetizers every time they're out. We all ended up going to the mall and taking a funny group picture with Santa and they all helped me pick out a christmas outfit. Hero called and texted me all day, so did Mercy and I didn't answer either of them. I was so busy those past two days I never got much time to think about my problems.

Wednesday morning Hero called me at five am and I accidentally anwsered it.

"Hello?" I say into the phone and realize it's Hero who called me. Shit. I didn't mean to answer it, I'm half asleep.

I am about to hang up until he yells into the phone. "Josephine don't even hang up!"

"It's five am what's wrong?" I ask.

"What's wrong! Where are you! I'm worried and I'm sorry and I'm scared and I just.. shit just tell me where you are, I'll get you and then I'll get us a hotel for the rest of the week you just need to tell me where you are." he begs.

"Didn't you say we aren't in a relationship and you don't need to tell me jack shit? I don't have to tell you jack shit either." I spit and begin resting my eyes again hoping I'll just fall asleep.

"Tell me."

"Just know I'm safe, don't worry about me. I have to go." I say and hang up. I feel bad but I need my space.. right now.

We didn't talk the rest of the day and my Aunt went to work like all day. I did my school work from yesterday and today. A couple more calls from him during the school day and I hope he went to school and didn't not go because I wasn't there.

I slept a lot wednesday then when my Aunt got home at five, she ordered chinese and we got the same orders we got any other time and we just talked the entire time. It's so nice talking to her, she understands me better than anyone I've really ever met. She's young and she's family and she understands.

She also got me a birthday gift and it was just a bracelet with a beautiful rose with the letter J engraved in it for Josephine. Diamonds around it too, damn it looks expensive.

We made cookies and listened to christmas music and just talked and talked.

Thursday another call from Hero at five am and I only answered it to yell at him.

"Quit calling me at five in the damn morning!" I yell. It's early, I'm tired. Doesn't he have school?

"I only call because I know you'll answer me this early-" he begins.
