Ellies p.o.v:
I look at my phone and see nash's post. I nudge Josie as she has fallen asleep.
Me: Josie...
Josie grunts and moves: what!?
I roll my eyes: have you seen nash's post?
She shakes her head and picks up her phone. When she sees the post she smiles slightly.
Josie: what's wrong with it?
I sigh: I hate too say this, but Nash, has fans, people that care for him and they all know you as a girl, that shops around if you get me...
Josie nods: what are you getting at?
Me: I love you, and you know that, and I care about you getting hurt more then Nash, that's why I am scared, you haven't ever had a long term relationship  and Nash, he has, it's gonna go horribly wrong if you put it on the internet...
Josie sighs: I know, but I love him. I really do...
I shake my head but don't say anything and Josie looks at me.
Josie: what!?
Me: I said nothing...
Josie rolls her eyes: you shook your head!
I smile half heartedly: you said that about jack... and Harvey... and look where that has got you...
Josie: Ellie, do you not want me to date your brother, because if you don't... then I won't, but you have to tell me not just make me hate him.
I shake my head again: Josie it's not that. It's just you put your heart into things and others don't. I don't want you to get hurt again... that's all...
Josie nods: so? You don't want me to date Nash?
I scowl: that's not what I am saying. Jesus Christ you are twisting my words Josie! I just think you have the twins to take care of now. And you can hardly take care of yourself! You need to stop and slow down... or you are gonna ware yourself out!
Josie scowls back at me: your not my mum! I can look after myself. I feel like you all think I need help because I am younger then all you, but I really don't.
I stand up: we don't baby you, we want to protect you! We want to make up for what we didn't protect you from in America!
Josie rolls her eyes: you didn't have to protect me then!
I nod: exactly! And look what happened! Can't you see why we feel like we need to be there for you?!
Josie bows her head: be there for me all you want, but let me make my decisions with out you all weighing all your opinions down on me. I am 19. Let me act my age.
Me: Josie...
Josie shakes her head: no, Ellie, I love you, but you and rye act more like my mum and dad then my brother and his girlfriend and you shouldn't. Because I don't need you too.
I sit back down next to her: I love you too...
Josie hugs me and pouts: I hate you being harsh to me.
I laugh: I know, but I have to be.
We both laugh and I get up ready to go back to the house.
Me: see you soon, yeah?
Josie nods and I leave.

The next day- (time skip brought to you by the after the show music video)
Josie's p.o.v:
I wake up too the sound of a crying baby. It's around 5 in the morning, but I know there is no way I am getting back to sleep. I climb out of bed and walk over to the cribs, picking up the screaming baby and rocking it side to side until it calms down. I decided I would get them changed and feed them after I had had a shower. So I do exactly that. I have a quick shower throw on some black skinny jeans and a shirt that says "empower" on it. And then a zip up hoodie. I throw my hair into space buns and put on some vans. Then I go back over too the twins feed them and get them into their matching outfits, Noah wears a grey babygrow that has yellow dots on it and Grace is wearing a yellow babygrow with grey dots on it. And they both look adorable. After I have fed them I grab a slice of toast and quickly eat it before putting the twins into the pram and setting off for a nice stroll. As I am walking down the drive way I hear someone shout: wait up!!
I turn around and see jack running towards me. I smile as he wipes his eyes, stretching slightly.
Jack: where you off too?
I shrug: a walk? Why are you up so early?
Jack smiles: I could ask the same thing?
I roll my eyes: I have screaming babies that wake me up. What's your excuse?
Jack: I couldn't sleep. I was kinda hopping to talk to you actually.
I tilt my head: this early in the morning?
Jack laughs: no. But since we are both awake...
I nod and we both start walking, jack places his hand on the side of the pram gently. Then looks back at me.
Jack: I was just wondering if we could spend more time together, with Noah of course...
I nod: I don't see why not...
Jack smiles: good! Cause we are friends, and I don't want him to think we ain't!
I laugh: jack, he's 5 months old I doubt it bothers him...
Jack shrugs: okay well, it bothers me...
I look at him: why?
Jack: I mean I was hardly there for you during the pregnancy and when he was born... well I wasn't ready...
I stop him: jack, calm down, you think I was ready? I was eighteen. No one was ready, and in our circumstances I think we did really well!
I nudge him slightly and he does it back wrapping his arm around my shoulder.
Jack: I am glad we are friends again Jose.
I nod: same jack.
He smiles, the same smile he did when I first met him and the same tingling feeling comes flying back and sends shivers down my spine. I shake it off and look at the ground avoiding his gaze. I don't think he notices and I doubt he felt it too, it was probably a one time thing. So I think nothing of it and carry on walking with him and the twins down the road.

Jacks p.o.v:
Josie smiles at me nodding slightly: same jack.
I smile at her and I can feel the blood rushing to my cheeks making me blush. All the pain, all the arguments we have had suddenly disappear and for once it seemed like it was just us two, like everything had restarted. Like we were just meeting for the first time. Josie smiles back and I can feel goose pumps cover my arms. Fuck. I think I love Josie again.
Josie looks down and I try to think of anything else but what I am feeling as we carry on walking down the road.

Hope you like it.
