TW // not really sure how trigger warnings work but just a heads up i mention blood in this scene. i don't get graphic but it is mentioned. i will figure out if any other chapters need trigger warnings and add them 💖

((Hero has seen Josephine a total of four times since that night at the stadium. You know the night where he ripped out her heart, threw it to the ground and stepped on it? The first time was the next day (25th November), he went by Mel's to check on Felix and Josephine was there with Alice having dinner. She smiled at him and he did the same and that was it. The second was a week after (1st December), Alice brought her coworker Chris and his girlfriend to the gallery. Josephine didn't go in though, she had plans to meet a friend and so they just exchanged hello's and that was it. The third time (5th December) Hero and Felix went for lunch and they spotted Josephine there with Charlie, who they immediately recognised from the show Hollyoaks. They went over, Hero and Felix introduced themselves to Charlie and Josephine said hi but Hero could tell it was only for Felix. The fourth time they were all at a party Jack was hosting and they actually managed to have a decent conversation, sort of))

                   - Flashback / December 10th -

Josephine: "So, Jack is like rich?" ((She asks Mel entering Jack's ridiculously large house))

Mel: "His family is but he inherited a lot when he turned 18, why do you think he's never at work?" ((She responds leading them to the party room))

Alice: "I knew he had money, but not this kind of money" ((she adds following Mel))

Josephine: "Wait, how did you know he had money?" ((This is a complete shock to her))

Alice: "He owns a very old car" ((she shrugs moving up the stairs))

Mel: "You can talk Alice, you make six figures at your accounting firm" ((she opens the door to reveal a ballroom))

Alice: "Only since three months ago, it's not like I was born wealthy" ((she looks at Josephine who is giving her an odd look))

Josephine: "Okay, let's stop talking about money" ((she adds and makes her way over to the bar))

((Josephine orders herself a rum and coke, and two glasses of red for Alice and Mel. She's about to make her way over but realises she can't carry all three drinks))

Hero: "I'll take a Corona" ((he directs at the bartender)) "I'll help with that" ((he picks up the rum and coke, giving a small smile to Jo))

Josephine: "Thank you" ((she responds her voice overly awkward))

Alice: ((takes her glass from Jo and so does Mel)) "No, drink?" ((Her voice is full of disappointment))

Josephine: ((takes the rum and coke out of Hero's hand and shakes it in Alice's face))

Alice: "Rum? Wow, so it's going to be that kind of night, huh?" ((She jokes and Josephine gives her a wink))

Mel: ((whispers to Alice)) "What do you mean?"

Alice: "You'll see" ((she adds and laughs to herself))

((The group separates off and Josephine sits with Mel and Alice. She's not really involved in the conversation, but she nods so they know she's still with them. After about an hour she gets up and heads for the bathroom))

Josephine: ((opens the door)) "I'm so sorry, I didn't know anyone was in here"

Felix: ((looks up at Josephine, wiping tears from his eyes)) "It's okay, the lock is broken"
