The drive back went by much quicker than I expected. It was late now and the sky was pitch black dotted with the odd star. We are just a few minutes away from the set now and with each passing second I feel my nerves pull itself higher and higher. I'm going to have to see josephine again, she will have to explain to me what and why she did what she did. I don't even know what I feel about this situation yet, I don't think I've even had a chance to think about it enough. Every time I started to think I was pulled away from my scattered thoughts.
I see the familiar buildings near by the set and we pull up a long driveway a few miles long that lead us to the car park where we got picked up. Shane yawns as roger alerts the two of us that we have arrived. I watch as Shane rubs his eyes with the back of his hand and groans, waking up from the deep sleep he's been in for the past hour and a half. I begin to wonder if Josephine is asleep now too since it's so late. Part of me hopes that she is, so that I can avoid her and sleep on this before acting out. The other part of me wants to get this whole mess over and done with so that we can hopefully move on from this.
My mind wanders onto Inanna now, I don't want to see her either. I don't want to see the potential damage that josephine has done to her. I know how Inanna is and she will make much more of a deal of this whole thing.
While I'm walking back to my trailer I purposely avoid Inanna and Josephine's trailer like the plague. I don't want to risk even being seen by them, they would probably come outside if they saw me. I quickly open the door to my trailer and pray I don't make too much noise. Josephine's trailer is right next door to mine so I don't want to alert her of my presence. Unfortunately I hear a voice just as I'm about to shit the door. "We need to talk." She speaks out. I screw my eyes shut and hope that I'm just imagining her. But sure enough when I open the door wider she's stood there with her hand on her hip.
"No, you need to talk. You need to explain what the fuck You did." I tell her and open the door even further, gesturing for her to come inside. "I already told you what I did." She mumbles while walking by me. She sits down on the couch and I keep standing. A few seconds pass by and she rolls her eyes. "I haven't got a fucking disease, you can sit by me." Her tone is serious but I can tell she's using sarcasm to avoid this. I sit down next to her, not as close as I would usually but not on the very edge of the seat.
"I was mad okay? I wanted to get back at her and I obviously wasn't going to kiss Matthew because that would mean cheating on you. She's been fucking with me for the past almost two years Hero. I'm sick of her, maybe she will stop now." She explains to me and I feel a tinge or guilt. "Why didn't you tell me?"'I ask her and her eyes drop. "You're friends with her. Obviously you wouldn't believe me." She tells me. "Jo, my god. Yes she was my friend but your my girlfriend, I would believe you over anyone else." I tell her the truth. It scares me that I trust and believe her more than anyone else in this world.
Josephine's POV
I know that I should be paying more attention to what he just said to me but I'm only focusing on the word was. Past tense-as in they are no longer friends. If I knew this before maybe I wouldn't have gone crazy bitch mode. I know that I don't really have an excuse for what I did but it was her own fault. That's my excuse, she's an annoying bitch that got what she deserved. Someone had to knock some sense into her. But I don't say that out loud because I know that not everyone would agree with me. Instead I just smile at hero's words. "Really?" He nods and I wrap my arms around his neck.
"I feel like we have just as much drama in our relationship as Hardin and Tessa." He sighs as I climb onto his lap. Each of my legs on either side of him. I push my body against his so that I'm leaning against him with my head on his shoulder. "I'm sorry for hitting her. She just annoys me, more than anyone else I've ever met." I try to justify my actions and he just nods. "I know." He lets out a shaky sigh. "I think I would react the same way if someone made a move on you. I just didn't think you would do something like that so it's kind of surprising. You seem to friendly to hit someone." I feel him smile against my neck. "I'm very friendly thank you very much." I nuzzle father into his neck and I feel his lips press against me.
"I love you." The words still feel foreign coming from my mouth, I've never said this to someone before. Other than my mom and dad. I don't think I've ever felt this strongly towards someone as I do with Hero. Sure I've had highschool crushes and boyfriends before but I don't think we even lasted to the point of saying 'I love you'. But that's all they are, high school crushes. Because now I am a fully grown woman in a serious relationship with the love of my life.
The love of my life.
It's a big thing. A big title, but I feel that strongly about him. There is no one else on this entire world that I want to spend my life with. Things are always difficult between us but it's worth it because of the way he makes me feel. I can't help but hope that I make him feel just a fraction of what I do.
