On Purpose

Chapter 2

 * Present time – 3 months later *

Josie was walking through the cafeteria towards the empty table she had spotted in the corner. Josie's eyes were scanning the cafeteria looking for a certain vamp as her gaze fell upon the table where she used to sit at. Her eyes light blue eyes shifted to cold blue ones and ending with staring right into emerald green eyes. Unlike 3 months ago, Josie was no longer close to her best friend, her sister nor had she a girlfriend.

Josie breaks the eye contact with the raven-haired witch after she felt a tap on her shoulder, "come on Jo, let's go", Mg had finally shown up and they were now walking towards the corner table.

"Jo, do you still want to continue with the plan, I know you miss them a lot. I have noticed how you look at them and I know that you're hurting. I can see it on you, you can't keep continuing doing this, you have to tell them", Mg said as they finally sat down.

Josie took a bite of her peanut butter and jam sandwich before answering, "yes, the plan is still on and I'm fine and you don't have to worry about me. And I would also kindly remind that I will burn you to ashes if you're not careful with that mouth of yours", Josie said with an empty and tired expression. Mg knew, she wouldn't change her mind, so he dropped the subject for now.

* 3 months ago *

Since Josie had found out about the merge, she started her research, looking through every history or magic book, she could find. Which didn't help her at all, there weren't that many books containing the information, she was looking for. And those she did find that could help her with the answers she was looking, well those pages were ripped out of the book. Josie knew she had to be careful, no one could find out that she knew about the merge. She had to be very careful, she knew Lizzie or Hope wouldn't ask questions and when they finally did, she would always tell that she had to study, so she always could be prepared for test or pop quizzes Mr. Williams had for them.

The hard part was lying to her beloved girlfriend. Penelope could always see right through Josie, So every time Penelope was hanging with her friends or other's that weren't Josie, she would use those opportunities to do some research.

Josie was currently sitting in the library at a table hidden between the bookshelves, a place she could be disturbed. The amount of progress Josie has made was zero. She has found any answers to her questions and she couldn't ask her parents.

Josie looked at her phone after she made a sound indicating that she had gotten a message.

Pen<3: Hey Baby, do you want to come to my room and watch a movie?

Josie hadn't been hanging so much with Penelope these last days, so she decided that she would say yes because she could use a break from all of this, besides she had missed the warm embrace and the sweet kisses from her girlfriend.

Jojo<3: I'll be there in 5.

Josie arrived at Penelope's dorm room and knocked. As soon as Penelope opened the door, Josie stared at her in admiration, she was wearing short shorts and a tank top, she chose of clothing was exposing her toned legs and arms. "Well are you going to stare all day or are you gonna come in?", Penelope chuckled. "It's not my fault, my girlfriend is beautiful", Josie answered while she entered the room and gave a lustful kiss, but before anything more could happen, she pulled away. "So I was thinking do you want to see The Blind Side, it's with Sandra Bullock, you know, your celebrity crush", Josie chuckled. "Sure let's watch it", and with that Penelope pulled Josie onto the bed. They were cuddling the whole time the moving was playing and after the movie ended, Penelope closed the laptop and sat up. "Pen is everything alright?", Josie asked. "Yeah I'm fine, I was just wondering if you would like to talk about what happened and don't say you don't want to talk about it or it isn't my business because it is. Jo, you're my girlfriend whom I love very much and I have never seen you like that, talk to me", Josie opened her mouth to say something, but closed her mouth again, she didn't know how to respond, since she obviously couldn't tell her the truth. So she had to lie, which she hates or she at least lying to Penelope.

"I have been feeling very stressed lately mostly because of school, all of the extracurricular activities, my dad makes my doing, the fact that I always have to be the headmaster's perfect daughter and last I miss my mom. Every time I try to bring her up, my dad keeps shutting it down", "oh Jojo, come here", Penelope pulled her in a hug and after a minute or so she pulled away, grabbed Josie face a hand on each cheek, looking into Josie's eyes, remember you'll always have me and you don't have to change for me or act as the perfect daughter. I love you, Josie Saltzman, I love your flaws and everything else about you, don't ever forget that" after she had said that Josie closed the gap between them. "I love you too Penelope Park, always and forever".
