Joshifer: Four Years of Affection

Chapter 22

~Jennifer's POV

Dearest Jennifer,

As I speak, my love for you increases. You know that. Apparently, I love you so much that if I have to let go, I will, if it makes you happy.

I know that what they did wasn't helpful to you and me, and now, you have to pretend that you have to like your co-star, while I have to deal with the heartache.

But once again, you still have the choice to tell them that they're wrong, and that you're not dating him. You're dating me. But that also means that you will be the target of media, and I know how much you love acting, not attention.

If they threatened you that you would lose your job if you tell them that you're not dating your co-star, then I should tell you this: You love acting. You want to help your family. I'm not saying that I'm not trusting you, I'm just saying that I'm getting tired of us fighting. I love you, but if we keep fighting like this, then we better stay friends. I don't want us to fight anymore, Jen, because I love you. It only depends if you love me too...

There. I said my feelings. I wish you could receive this as soon as possible.

He loves me, and I love him, but he's right. So, unfortunately, I had to let go of the man I love. I was crushed. But like what someone once told me:

Cry a river, build a bridge, and get over it.

I continued acting, working, and loving Josh. We still talk a lot, and I've heard that he's moved on. Well, at least that's what Jo told me. He's trying to get close to Claudia, and I'm happy for them if they would be a couple. At least he found someone who is not as stupid as I am...

Coincidentally, a week before prom, I went home. No, I didn't want to go to prom, I just needed a break, now that my agent's taking over my private life, and that my co-star actually likes to be called my boyfriend despite having a girlfriend. I needed to go home. I want to get back to my roots.

I want to be back with Josh.

But from what I've heard, he's taking Claudia for prom, and Jo doesn't have a date.

Speaking of Jo, what is she doing here?

I went downstairs to answer the door. Here she is, at my doorstep, waiting to see me.

"Jen!"

"Jo!"

We gave each other a warm hug and took around 30 seconds to let go of each other.

"I miss you so much, Jen!"

"I miss you too. And by the way, love the look." She was wearing a long, sleeveless, and striped blouse and a black pair of skinny jeans.

"Aww, thanks!" She told me.

"So, what's up?" I asked her.

"Well, I was planning to go shopping for prom dresses. Want to come?"

"Sure! Let me just change my clothes." I let her come in my house and I went upstairs to change. We then went to the mall, and to be honest, there were some people who recognized me, but I was thankful that they didn't ruin the day for me, unlike the nasty paparazzi who always pictured me with my 'alleged' boyfriend.

For 3 hours, all we did was look for a prom dress that hit the spot, which is the reason why Jo doesn't like shopping, because she thinks she looks hideous in any kind of clothing (unless it's mostly black, like what she's wearing right now). And finally, I was able to find a dress that she liked. Ironically, it wasn't black, it was white, and she loved it so much that she couldn't wait to wear it in the fitting room. When she came out, she looked really pretty. I decided to compliment her the best way I can.
