Mistake - Posie AU

Chapter 7: "I liked it."

Penelope's POV
I decided to surprise Josie after she got back from her first detention. I waited for her by her room. She took a little while but when I saw her walking towards me, my cheeks blush. She just makes me so happy.
"Is that The Salvatore School newest bad bitch?" I ask. Josie simply shrugged my joke off. She usually always laughs at my jokes.
"Hey." She simply says. All I get is a 'hey'. Something has to be up.
"What's wrong?" I asked. I placed a hand on her shoulder. She opened her door and said nothing. She lead me inside but still no response.
"Josie, are you okay?" I asked again. This time she looks me in the eye.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" She says. She was acting nervous and playing with her fingers. She looked down at her feet, refusing to meet my eyes again. As a test, I leaned in to kiss her but she tilted her head so I only kissed her cheek.
"Josie? You're acting different, tell me what's wrong. You can tell me anything." I said. I placed my hand on hers as a sign of support. Her eyes began to fill with tears. I waited in silence for her response.
"I....I...did a...bad thing." She says in a shaky voice.
"What? What did you do?" I asked. My mind was wondering what she could have possibly done in the time I'd left her.
"I...cheated...Rafael and I.....kissed." Josie says. My heart drops into my stomach. I quickly remove my hands from Josie's. I sit further away from her. My first thoughts to beat that wolf boy the fuck up, but then I thought about Josie. How could she do that.
"And....I liked..it." Josie says. Part of me want to explode and yell at her and the other half wants to thank her for being honest. My eyes were blurred by tears. Without anything else left to be said, I walked out of Josie room.
"Wait! Penelope please let's just ta-" I slam the door and get as far away as I can. I didn't where to go. I couldn't go to my room because Josie would want to talk and right now she is the last person I want to talk to. I went out to the courtyard. There was this secret building in the back where me and Jed used to play when we were little. I was always my favorite hiding spot and right now I just want to hide from everyone.
An hour or two pass and my eyes were red from my crying. I was angry and hurt but at the same time I want to put this pass us, because I love Josie too much. After a while I stopped crying and got myself together. I walked out and straight to my room, until I saw the worst person on this planet right now...Rafael. My rage was back all of a sudden.
"Hey, Rafael." I said while walking towards him. Once I was close enough I punch him with all my strength. He fell to the ground and looked at me shocked and then angry. When he tried to attack me back I used a spell that sent him flying across the hall. He knocked out after landing. I walked away before anyone could catch me. I went to my room and didn't come out for two days. I got at least 20 text from Josie saying she was sorry and that we should talk in through. There was nothing to talk about. At that point I was no longer sad...I was just angry. It was Saturday and I told myself that today I would go out and "take on the world". I checked my phone. It was 6:00pm, well there goes my idea of going out today. I wasn't going to go out until one of my minions texted me about a party in the woods at 8 tonight. Maybe I was going to go out today.

Josie's POV
Penelope hasn't answered any of my text since I told her. I passed by her room everyday hoping that her door was opened so we could talk, but it never was. I knew she was angry after I heard what she did to Rafael in the hall. I really thought she would be out by now. I was pacing back and forth in my room when Lizzie came in.
"Jesus, you're a mess." She says sitting on my bed.
"Penelope hasn't responded to my text since I told her about....you know." I said.
"How about you stop thinking about her. Give your mind some time to rest. Come to the party in the woods tonight. Everyone's going." Lizzie says. She had a point. Maybe I did need a break...
