What Are We Doing? - A Posie Fanfiction [DISCONTINUED]

You Have GOT To Be Kidding Me

Josie stares at her father with her mouth agape. After the breakup, she never thought she would have to be in the same room as Penelope for a long time, let alone a cramped up car.

Penelope had that damn smirk on her face that Josie knew all too well. Josie just rolled her eyes.

"Josie, I already have this mission planned out-" Alaric was cut off by Josie.

"No! You don't get it! I will not go on this trip if she," she pointed at Penelope while keeping a hard gaze with her father, "is coming."

Alaric was shocked. Josie never yelled at him. He felt bad, but he would not weaken with Josie, like he did with Lizzie. "Josette!" He yelled. "You will not talk to me like that. Penelope will come on this trip whether you want her to or not. She is one of the strongest witches here, and I won't lose Emma and Dorian because of your relationship drama."

Josie couldn't believe her father just yelled at her. She was always the good child. She was stuck in a trance, until she felt a familiar palm on her forearm. She looked to the owner of the hand and was filled with hate, or at least, that's what she interpreted it as.

Josie looked up at Penelope and gave her a hard glare. "Get your hands off of me, you bitch."

Everyone was still. No one moved or made a sound. Josie has never called someone that before.

Penelope slowly retracted her hand away from Josie with a surprised look on her face.

Josie stormed out of the room, and no one followed her. They all knew she needed time and space to calm down. Josie went to her room and laid down on the bed and stared at the ceiling.

Whenever she looked at the ceiling, she fell deep into her thoughts. She thought about the previous events, and was quickly filled with guilt. She thought of Penelope's expression when she called her out. What was that? She asked herself. She couldn't pinpoint what it was, and then it hit her like a brick wall.

Regret.

Penelope Park, the Penelope Park, was regretful over something she did? Josie could only think of one other occurrence where she saw Penelope like that. It was the first, and only, time she ever yelled at Josie. She couldn't remember what about. All she knows is that Penelope yelled at her, then right after started crying out of guilt.

After awhile Josie fell asleep, and her dreams were full of the 'evil' beauty a few doors down.

Josie woke up the next day and realized she was in her pajamas. She thought that Lizzie changed her in her sleep.

Josie sat up and got ready for the day. Her thoughts were filled with a certain hazel-eyed beauty. This annoyed Josie tremendously. She heard a knock on the door and opened it to find MG. "Hey MG, I was just going to go to the cafeteria for breakfast. Do you wanna walk with me?"

"Yeah, sure. How are you after yesterday's fiasco?" He asked.

"I went back to my room for some quiet and fell asleep. When I woke up my pajamas were on, so I'm guessing she changed me." Josie replied.

"No, it couldn't have been her. She was with wolfie over there." MG said, gesturing towards Rafael and his pack.

Josie rolled her eyes. "Are you ever gonna let that go?" She asked hopefully. It truly saddened her to see him so desperate all the time. He just shook his head with a frown on his face.

Before he could say anything else, someone grabbed Josie arm firmly and pulled her with them. "Hey. What are you doin-" She was cut off by the library door closing, and the person casting a barrier spell on the library.

Josie was alarmed, but when she saw who it was, she became more nervous than scared. "What the hell Penelope? What are you doing?" She asked incredulously.

Penelope mad eye contact with Josie and had a sincere expression on her face. "I wanted to apologize for my attitude yesterday, you didn't deserve that." She said truthfully.

Josie searches her eyes for any hint of falseness, but couldn't find any. "It's fine. I'm sorry for calling you a bitch."

Penelope laughed and stepped closer to her, so they were only a few inches apart. Josie's breath hitched in her throat. They hadn't been this close in a month, and Josie's mind raced, while her heartbeat sped up.

"I just wanted to tell you..." Penelope trailed off, while tracing Josie's jawline with her finger. Josie was practically thriving in that moment. "...that we leave tomorrow. At 9:00 AM." Penelope then walked out, breaking her spell, and leaving Josie a frazzled mess.
