Joshifer: Four Years of Affection

Chapter 21

~Josephine's POV

It was a beautiful morning today. No signs of sadness, except for the fact that Jennifer's leaving today. We had loads of fun yesterday, doing best friend stuff and all. I just hope that she had a great day with Josh the day before.

Before we knew it, we were actually saying goodbye to Jen (well, in my case, the second time) so that she could continue her duties in Hollywood. Her schedule is simply the proof on how talented she is - she has a lot of talents, and she could be named as Breakout Star of the Year or maybe Choice Actress in Teen Choice. Well, as every best friend would, I would support her in whatever she does.

When she's on the road to the airport once again, Josh and I headed home. Well, honestly, I have to admit, I did wonder what Josh is going to do again. He didn't even say goodbye - he just said see you as soon as possible, not a goodbye.

"Why didn't you tell Jen goodbye?" I told him. He didn't seem to hear.

"Huh?" He answers. I was right.

"I mean, what happened, a few moments ago, you didn't say goodbye to Jen. I mean, it seems unusual." I told him.

"I just don't want her to think that I'm leaving her or something, you know, I want her know that she'll be with us as long as we could. Plus, we had a promise." He tells me. I didn't bother to ask him what the promise was, because I knew that this had to be a bf-gf-only promise.

"OH. MY. GOD." I tell myself with a scream, after seing the news on the internet. I seemed to wake up Josh, since he came running to my room.

"Someone's trying to sleep here!" Josh tells me as he opened the door. "What's wrong anyway?" He asks me, and he entered the room.

"Don't come closer." I tell him. I tried to calm myself a little bit. But then again, I couldn't. This news is really shocking.

"Why? What's wrong?" He tells me, disobeying what I said earlier.

"If I show you what's wrong, will you promise not to freak out?" I tell him when he gets to my bed.

"Try me." He tells me. I'm telling you guy, you brought this on yourself. But still, you promised not to freak out. I showed him my laptop. He immediately slammed it closed and told me these two words angrily:

"That's bullshit."

~Jennifer's POV

A week ago, I was asked to help promote my new movie, and they told me that the best way to do that is date my male co-star.

"No." I tell them straightly. "No."

"Miss Lawrence, if you accept the offer, then you must know that your movie will have profit and you'll have more money. It's beneficial, and yet, you do harbor a crush on him, yes or no?" My agent tells me.

"I certainly do not have a crush on him. I love someone else." I tell her.

"But still, his manager agreed that you should be classified as 'dating' by now. I mean, look at couple artists right now, they're the ones that make a lot of money."

"But I don't want to make a lot of money. I want to be as truthful as possible."

"Well, honey, that is not the way Hollywood works. You have to be the ruthless piranha, not the vegan lion."

"Let me just say that one, I did not really get that metaphor, and two, I love someone else."

"I'm not discussing this anymore." My agent told me.
