Josephine's POV
My heads pounding and it feels like I had just taken a hammer to my head repeatedly. I groan in pain and roll over in my small bed, I open my eyes when I feel something hard against me. My face is pushed up against Hero's back. I push myself off of him and rub my eyes. It takes me a few minutes before I even properly come back to consciousness. "Stop moving." A grunt comes from Hero. I roll my eyes and force myself out of bed so I can check the time. When I turn my phone on I see that we only have 13 minutes until we need to be getting our hair and make up done.
"Wake up dipshit." I saunter over to Hero and grab the blanket off him, he stretches and whines but goes straight back to sleep anyway. I get in the shower while he's still asleep and quickly was my hair and body, by the time I'm out we only have 4 minutes left and my hair is still soaking wet. I'm started to get stressed out by this right schedule that we have to follow but I don't bother telling anyone. "Hero wake up." I tell him again and shake him by his shoulder, he mumbles something about 5 more minutes before falling back asleep again.
I decide to take the childish option.
I grab a pillow from underneath his head and repeatedly whack him with him, now he's awake. His arms are outstretched over his head and his bare body is spread across the small bed. I tear my eyes off him before I can get too distracted by him. "You have literally 3 minutes to get ready." I warn him, I hear him curse under his breath before shoving on his clothes and shoes.
"I'll go now and tell them that you are on your way, I saw you on the way there. Okay?" He asks me. "Why don't we just go together?" I question him whilst still getting ready.
"I don't want the others to ask questions...you know how they are." He explains, he's right. I know how the others are but it still hurts a bit to know that we have to sneak around so much even on set, people that we should be able to be ourselves around will judge us and maybe expose our relationship, meaning either meadow or Inanna. Meadow posts so many photos that we would most likely be in the background accidentally and Inanna just can't keep secrets to save her life. He walks over to me and wraps his arms around me engulfing me in a warm hug. He kisses the top of my head before leaving. Leaving the faint scent of mint and cigarettes left behind.
I grab my bag and jacket from the back of my chair and basically run to the set up office. When I get there Shane and Hero are already sat in there seats and are talking about some show they watched together the other day whilst they was getting ready. "Hey goober." Shane breaks off his conversation with hero to smile at me. "Shaney P Mcghie." I smile back at him. My make up artist pulls me down into my seat beside Hero. Today we are filming an all together scene, me Hero and Shane. I'm really excited to have that friendship on screen. I have another scene with hero today but I'm more excited for the group one, we've never filmed one as the three of us.
"You guys excited." Hero cocks his head to look at me despite his make up artist pulling him back into position. "I am, I cant wait." Shane says cheerfully and I just nod while smiling along. "Okay guys, Shane is ready now and you both still have to get ready so he's going to leave so he can do his pre scene." A director comes in and collects Shane. I feel more at calm now, I know neither of our stylists will say anything to anyone other than one another. I can say and act however I want without worrying.
"Are you mad about this morning?" Hero questions me. "What? No, of course not. I completely understand what you said and I had pretty much forgotten about it until now." I tell him the truth, it bothered me a bit at the time but I realised that we couldn't do what ever we wanted or act however we wanted. That's just something that comes with our very rocky relationship. I've to come terms with that and that nothing will ever be easy for us but it's worth it.
I love how hero treats me even if we argue a lot, I know that he would never do anything to hurt me and doesn't mean to upset me when he has in the past. Even though I don't like to admit it I've hurt him to0, I'm the one who made him insecure and anxious about being left behind and like I remind myself every day I feel like that's going to haunt and punish me forever. "Jo?" Hero's voice breaks me out of my thoughts. "Hm?" I murmur to him before he continues on talking about what the director told him when he got here.
She already told me this yesterday morning so him telling me all of this is pretty much pointless but I don't want to tell him that so instead I let him continue rambling on just so that I don't have to talk back or have a commentary on what he is saying. "Are you even listening?" He asks me and I want to lie to him and tell him that I was but instead I tell him the truth. "No sorry, I was just thinking. She told me that yesterday anyway and I remember it all so it doesn't really matter." I tell him and he just nods with a confused look etched on his face.
Next chapter will be the Shane hero and jo scene. It's currently half 2 in the morning for me and I'm half asleep so if there is any mistakes sorry. Hope you enjoyed this quick little chapter, I know nothing really happened so it was pretty boring.
I know a lot of my chapters are just kind of space fillers and take extra long doing and explaining things but that's because I don't want to make everything rushed. I want it to happen how things would actually happen, like hero and Josephine wouldn't get back together the first day they saw each Other and stuff so I want it to seem kind of realistic. I hope you understand and are enjoying my story so far.
