Today will be the day. It has to be today. I keep holding it off, but at the same time I can't stop thinking about Jo. She is in every crevice of my mind. I need to know how she's doing. Three weeks is way too long of a time to not see her.
I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I wanted to look perfect. For once, I might look better than Asher. I just want to know why Jo likes him so much. What does he have that I don't? Because I'll do anything to get that missing piece.
I think Asher is just good with mind games. He tricks Jo into believing that he is a good guy. He just lured her in before snapping down his evil jaw upon her. He hypnotized her into someone that would do whatever he says; she is Asher's servant. I wish I could find a way to save her.
Maybe I can. Maybe I can find a way to help her out, or at least see how Asher is really behaving. So, that's why I'm going over to the small house today. I hope they're both there.
Anxiety filled my pores as I revised my risky plan. I had to make sure it was perfect. I didn't want to mess up and be the one that is the bad guy again. Asher will always have to be the villain.
Finally, when I made sure my plan was simple yet, most likely, successful, I decided I could perform it.
I threw on a sweatshirt and pair of shoes. I grabbed the key off the side table and headed out.

The air was getting warmer; therefore the tour was coming up. I don't know how I think of the tour now. Will the time away from everyone be beneficial or cause more disadvantages? I don't know if it will cleanse or dirty my mental state.
I parked my car about a block away from Jo and Asher's house. I couldn't park too close. Thankfully, it wasn't too far of a walk, so I shouldn't have to worry about getting noticed.
I pulled my hood up and got out of the car. My hands were immediately shoved into my pockets as soon as I stepped out of my car. The walk wasn't too far, but it felt like forever. My anxiety was getting the best of me and it was nerve-racking thinking about all the things that could go wrong.
I stared at the ground as I neared the house. I reached the doorbell and almost immediately walked in like I used to, but then I remembered that I couldn't just walk in. I rang the doorbell and nervously waited for someone to answer the door.
I was relieved when Jo answered the door. It would've been awkward if Asher answered the door. I don't think he would've said anything directly rude to me, but I think he would smirk and tell me some stupid remark about how good Jo and his relationship was going.
"Niall?" Jo asked, clearly shocked to see me at her doorstep.
I awkwardly ran my fingers through my perfectly fixed hair, "U-Um, hey Jo. I thought I would just stop by because we hadn't seen each other in a while."
