Is love enough

Why does she keep doing this to me

Josie's POV
I was helping Lizzy today with the set up for the talent show, more getting orders barked at me but I just ok it on the head so it could be over soon, I noticed Penelope walk in and quietly say my name, Lizzy was mean as usual but Penelope didn't snark back or even defend herself she just ignore her which was new for her, 

"Josie can I borrow you for a second"

I stepped down from the latter, nervous Penelope always scared me when she was like this

"What's up"

She handed me a later, and avoided eye contact, she never misses a chance to look at my quote "dough brown eyes" something was wrong

"Penelope what's this"

"Read it"

She turned and walked away, I could tell she was holding her breath, I hated how attentive I was of her I guess it was just a habit

"Penelope ?!"

She just kept walking, I was confused and could tell something wasn't right, but I couldn't read the letter now cause Lizzy needed me

I went back to helping Lizzy but I couldn't get Penelope of my mind, usually I avoided the topic but today something was off and I didn't like the feeling.

"What did Satan give you"

"Umm just a note"

"What did sit say"

"Not sure, haven't read it"

"Josie read it"

"Keep up out of it"

I didn't get it, I didn't get why everyone was telling me to read this letter, I knew it would be something about me needing to be selfish and something about an obnoxious plan to get me to stop caring so much, I couldn't hear anymore

I went back to me room and placed the letter under my pillow, I'm not sure why I put it there but it just felt right I guess, I got ready for dinner and headed down early

Penelope Park was still on my mind, which was usual but again something was wrong, she didn't seem like herself, I was thinking about the letter when hope snapped my out of my focus, she was just asking about my day and joking about this talent show tonight. The witches always put on the best performance but we do the same thing every year and it's always what Lizzy wants, in a matter of seconds hope and I were joined by the entire gang, Landon kissed hope hello, Lizzy made fun of them MG admiring Lizzy and me just sitting there, it was different when I was with Penelope, I had someone, my person.

I look up and saw her enter the dinning hall, she was a mess well looked it,  she was in her comfy school uniform, hair just down no real style, her eyes redish and her face drained, she looked exhausted, we locked eyes and I could sense her pain even though I had no idea what it was, she broke eye contact and sat with the small group of witch's that no one messed with, she kept her head down and didn't speak, when she was done she was heading straight back to her room, I hated that I couldn't keep my eyes off her, I had to know what was going on

"Hey Lizzy I'm just going to get something from the trim then I'll be down for the talent show"

"Okay jo just don't be late"

"Copy"

I headed to the room and grabbed the letter and slipped it into my back pocket then headed to get ready, I was sitting there after my hair and makeup was done with nothing todo, I pulled out the letter and took a deep breath, and began to read it....
