Chapter 16

Chapter 16

Recap:

            ..... Josephina Jane Hutson. Could this be my second chance? My new beginning... A new me.

Josephina’s POV

3 years later....

            I walked up to a guard. “Um......” Shit. I forgot his name. “Antony. My name is Anthony.” he seemed to have just read my mind. “Okay.... Um, Anthony have you seen Ethan?” I asked, politely may I add. “He should be in his room miss.” answered Anthony. I thanked him then started to walk to E’s room.

            A lot has changed in these three years. For starters, I talk to people or werewolves now. I eat regularly. I exercise. I have E to thank for that. If it wasn’t for him, I would have died that day in the cell. Even if I was saved by someone else, I would have been lifeless. But, somethings never change, For example, I still hate Caleb and Zach. I don’t call him Mr. Monster anymore, he sort of threatened to kill the girls if I did. Hence, I still hate him. Zach on the other hand, is still very ‘loving’ towards me. Note the sarcasm. E says it’s because he wants to protect his pack blah blah blah, whatever.

            I knocked on E’s door. No reply, probably still sleeping. So, I just went in. We do this all the time anyways. I have a spare key to his room and he has mine. We’re just that close. No, we’re not dating. I don’t think he likes me like that.

            I opened the door when someone started to talk. “Is everything well?” judging by the voice, it’s Zach. “Everything’s fine Sir. She is doing well.” Said E. I immediately closed the door, lightly. No one heard me, thank god. I sprinted back to my room. “I thought you were going to go find Mr. Ethan?” asked Anthony when he saw me. “Um... I forgot something.” I lied. He just nodded. I went into my room and locked the door. Ethan isn’t what I think he is right? He didn’t acted to be my friend to get me to trust them right? What if he is... What if our friendship was fake? Oh My god. Please don’t let it be true. Please let this be a mistake.

                A few minutes later, Ethan came in. “Hey J. Morning.” he greeted smiling. I smiled at him, pretended that nothing happened. “Hello E. How you going this fine morning.” I greeted back. He came and sat next to me infront of the TV. “E?” “Yea...” “Best friends don’t keep secrets from each other right?” He faced me and cocked his head to a side. “Why would you ask that?” he asked. “Just answer the question E.” “Fine. Yes, best friends don’t keep secrets from each other.” he said to me. He sounded so real, but can I trust him. “Okay then E. Are you keeping any secrets from me?” I asked him, looking at the door. “Of course not J. No secrets right?” he said, slinging his hand onto my shoulder. “Good to know.” I said. Let’s just keep our fingers crossed that he’s not lying. I would hate to kill him.

................................................................................................................

            It’s been a few hours since the incident. Emily came around an hour ago to deliver my food. Emily is a werewolf, she’s Mark’s girlfriend. She works in the kitchen and she’s really nice. Other than that, not much happened. Ethan tried talking to me. But I only answers him with one sentence. He must be getting annoyed because he said, “J... Is something wrong? Why are you not taking to me?” he asked me, full with concern. “Nothing happened E. I’m just tired.” I replied, faking a yawn. “That’s not it J. Just tell me what’s wrong.” He turned me so I was facing him. “You want to know the truth?” he nodded. “Well, I went to find you earlier this morning. I heard a bit of your conversation with Zach.” I said, noticing that E looked stunned. “You’re not undercover right? Helping them defeat me.” I asked him. He opens his mouth but quickly shuts it. “Oh My God. You backstabbing prick.” I shouted at him.

 I walked away from him and ran to the bathroom. I locked myself in there. Ethan can’t come in here. “J. Hear me out.” he said leaning against the door. I tuned out. Not even wanting to hear his voice. All I want to do is feel nothing. My only way to do that is to block out everything. Become numb. Just for a while, I want to be alone. I want to think. What should I do next?

Ethan’s POV

            Josephina is not listening to me. I know she isn’t. ARGH! She doesn’t understand. Alpha Zach was just asking me about J. He wanted to know her condition. Make sure she is fit for the second stage. I swear I’m not some backstabbing prick as J said I was. This friendship IS real. Why won’t she listen to me? I can’t lose her. I took four months to make her talk to the others, eight months for her to eat and exercise regularly. A year, for her to show her emotions. I can’t let the old her come back. It’s too painful to watch her like that. Suddenly, I hear the door click. J came out and she just walked past me. No scolding, no hitting. Nothing... She didn’t even cry. Jo, please come back.

Josephina’s POV

            I walked past him. He looked at me like a lost puppy. I had to hold on to the tears. I cannot show weakness infront of him. I won’t. “Jo....Let me explain.” “You don’t have to explain Mr. Hilford. And don’t call me Jo, only my friends call me Jo.” “J. Please let me explain. I’m not a spy. I’m not backstabbing you. I promise.” he was close to begging. “Whatever floats your boat. By the way,” I turned so that I was facing him. I raised my leg and kneed him, you know where. His hands immediately flew to his prized jewels. He’s on the floor now. I leaned down and whispered into his ear, “That’s something for you to remember me by. You feel the pain? That’s how I feel, hurt, betrayed.” Then, I walked out of the room.

Welcome back, old Jo.
