The girl at the door (Hosie)

Chpt 6.

Hope POV

Josie opens up her door smiling at me as she lets me go in first. Josie shouts her door and hops onto her bed sitting crossed legged. I sit in front of her and we just stare at each other. The thing with Josie is I don't trust her not because she is a bad person it's because I don't know anything about her.

It's just something about her that lets me open up to her in ways that the other girls can't do. I finally smile at her and she smiles back.
"So um what do you want to know?"
"Anything" I say in almost a whisper.

The room almost becomes heated as I could hear her breathing.
"Well I'm not sure what to say, I mean my dad died-"
"I'm so sorry about that I shouldn't of said anything-" she puts her hands on my shoulders as we kept cutting each other off
"No hope it's ok I should of never shouted at you-"
"It hurt" she frowned at me.

"What hurt?"
"Your words hurt.." I took her hand and placed it on my heart
"It hurt my heart" she stared at my hand and I could hear her breathing get louder.
"I'm sorry" she said in a whisper.

"I forgive you but I need to ask you something" her eyes slowly make there way up to meet mine.
"Are we friends?" Josie's eyes never left mine.
"Yes we are" I smiled warmly at her and she finally looked away.
"Let's go to bed I have classes tomorrow"

"What are you studying?"
"Witch craft mainly I want to go work for WCC one day"
"I'm sure you will get in there you seem really smart" she smiled at me and she got under the covers.

"What did you study?"
"Oh I studied advanced art and did some courses on fantasy"
"Wow"
"Yeah I'm glad I finished" I say climbing into the bed with Josie.

"When did you finish?"
"A few months ago" she nods her head but I can see she wants to ask me something else.
"You can ask me anything you know that right?"
"Yeah I guess"
"Hope after you finished college where did you go?"
"Here"

"No but what happened?" I look at her and try and think but nothing comes to my brain.
"I'm really trying Josie but I can't give you the answer you want" I put my hands on my face as I try and remember but all I think about is the pain it caused me and I feel tears build up in my eyes.

I try and hid my face from Josie but I feel her hands take my hands away from my face as I look down her hands wrap around mine.
"Look at me" I finally left my head up and she wipe my tears away with her hand.
"Whatever happened to you hope won't happen again" I sob
"How can you say that when they found me " I say sobbing

"What from earlier?" I nod
"They found me Josie and I'm scared" she pulled me into her chest wrapping an arm around me. I put my head in her neck smelling her beautiful scent.
"Don't be you're safe here" I close my eyes as she holds me tight and I fall asleep.

Josie POV

I only slept for a few hours because ever little sound the apartment made woke me up. I was scared for Hope what if this thing finds us again and hurts hope again. Hope is my friend and I don't want anything to hurt her because that's what friends do do right?

It amazing how much I've grown to like her and she only came back into my life the another day. I won't forget what happened and I wish hope remembered so she could tell me why she did it but I can't hate her not now not when she is so fragile. My alarm goes off and I immediately turn it off so that it doesn't wake hope up.

I slowly peel her off of me and slip out of the room after grabbing some clothes from my cupboard. I head to the bathroom and have a shower. I clean up and put on a long sleeve white shirt that shows some of my cleavage. I'm wearing black jeans and my vans I look hot but not to hot.
