Mistake - Posie AU

Chapter 10: Friends

Josie POV
The second I walked out of that room I regretted it. I wish I could go back and kiss her, because the truth is I missed her even though we spent only a little time apart. I needed her she was my first love, but all first loves end and find other people. Penelope was my only serious relationship I've ever had. I don't even know if I like other people because she had always been in my life. I need time for a little self-discovery. I went to my next class even though I was 15 minutes late. I sat in the back of the class so I can just zone-out the entire period. I felt a light tap on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Hope stand there.
She smiled, "Can I sit here?" She asked pointing to the seat next to me.
"Yeah of course." I said. She took a seat next to me.
"Are you okay? You seem a little, I don't know... overwhelmed." She asked. Hope and I had never really been good friends, but now that I didn't have Penelope watching over my shoulder, me and Hope could become better friends.
"Um yeah there's just a lot going on in my life." I said.
"Well I'm here if you want to talk about." Hope says.
"Thank you, Hope. Penelope cheated on me, but apparently so did I and no matter how hard I try I just want to be in her arms again, but I need time to know who I am without her." I said. Hope looked and me with empathy.
"I get that. You need time and Penelope should respect that and you missing her is normal, you and her have never really been apart for a while. If she really is the love of your life, you'll find your way back to her, but if she's not then it's time to find some new people." Hope said. Everything she said was true. It felt weird to talk to somebody that knows, exactly what you're going through. I never really had that. For the rest of the period Hope and I talk about everything, from serious things to the silliest of things. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. I was sad when we went our separate ways. Talking to her opened my eyes.

Penelope POV
I stood in my room all day. If I really wanted to give .Josie space I had to stay as far as I could and I know if I was anywhere other than my room, I would probably be looking for Josie, but I have to respect her wishes. I was so bored though. Everyone was in class and I was just sitting in my room AlOnE. The second the bell rang signaling classes were out I texted Mg to meet me in my room. I needed company if I was going to survive this. After about 10 mins I heard a knock on my door. I smiled and ran to my door.
"Mg!" I shouted. I ran into his arms and hugged him tightly.
"Peez, you good? You seem happy." He said. He sat down next to me on my the bed.
"Technically I'm not happy, but it's been hours since I've seen another human." I said. Mg laughed.
"Why didn't you just hang out with Josie like you do everyday?" He asked.
"Josie and I are.... on a break, we're not technically broken up, but we aren't really together. After the whole party in the wood everything went to shit." I said.
"Damn. Me and Lizzie are on a break to I guess." He said. I looked up at him confused.
"You and Lizzie Saltzman are dating? Since when?" I asked. I hate Lizzie with a passion, but I love Mg so if he's happy I'm happy.
"Well I wouldn't say we're dating, but I did danced with her at the party, but we haven't really talked since." He said. Poor Mg in love with a girl that may never love him back.
"You really like her don't you?" I asked. He looked down.
"Yeah, yeah I do. Hey but if everything works out we'll both a Saltzman twin by our side." He said. Yeah maybe everything will work out, just fine.

Yo guys can we just take a minute to talk about 1x11. ~SPOILERS~The Posie kiss was everything, it was fuckin beautiful, but when Josie said "You know we're never getting back together." I cried. Alex posted that everything they say when they had the slug in them was TRUTHFUL, so does this mean Posie isn't going to be endgame?! But then after Josie said that Penelope smiled just like she did when Josie told her she hated her, so I'm imagining Penelope was like "We'll see bout that." and she'll risk everything for Josie. BUT then again we have the rumors of Penelope dying and I stg if she dies I probably will stop watching legacies bc I ❤️ Lulu. Ugh and Penelope is probably not going to be in the next episode 🤧.
