{Monday - December 17th}

((Hero wakes up to find Josephine gone, she left a small note in her wake))

'My saviour! (:
Okay, that was a little much. If you're reading this then I'm probably dead...too soon? Sorry. Anyway depending on what time it is I'm either on set or in my trailer. Alice is probably gone as well, you don't have to leave. You can stay if you want. I'm sure you'll need to go, work and all that. Call me, if you want. If not, I'll call you!
Josephine Langford out! *insert peace fingers emoji*'

P.S. you made me lose my page, now I can't finish the book :(

((He decides to stay, before leaving her room he puts her back to the page she was on. He writes 'Eliza' in between her first and last name, leaving the note on her desk and then walks out into the kitchen, to his surprise seeing Alice and Mel))

Hero: "I thought you'd be at work" ((he asks before giving Mel a hug))

Alice: "They sent me home, I was being really snappy" ((she scoffs)) "Imagine, we both have the day off while Josephine is at work" ((she pours Hero some coffee))

Mel: "Speaking of work, I have to go. My lunch break ended about an hour ago" ((she says looking at her watch))

Felix: ((enters the kitchen after just using the bathroom)) "Jesus, Alice what's your job again?" ((He asks his curiosity beckoning))

Alice: "I work at an accounting firm, in Central London" ((she responds, not mention her job title))

Mel: "Felix, we've got to go. Garrett will probably be wondering where we are" ((she says waving goodbye before heading to the door)) "Give Josephine, our love"

Felix: "Yeah, we will drop by later to see her" ((he smiles, fist bumping Hero before following Mel out the door))

Alice: "They are a pair" ((she smiles)) "I would give good money, to see them at work together"

Hero: "Yeah, I'm sure it's arguments most of the time" ((he adds)) "I guess they make it work though, the station seems to like them"

Alice: "Yeah, they were saying. They are thinking of starting a podcast" ((she offers Hero some toast and he accepts))

Hero: "I can't wait for that!" ((He laughs buttering his toast))

Alice: "Hero?" ((She asks sitting across from him)) "Are you okay?"

Hero: "I'm not sure if I'm honest" ((he pauses for a moment)) "I was so sure, that I could wait for her. Push it off until my brother is healed, he might seem fine but he's not. I just want things to settle down, you know?" ((He searches her eyes for some understanding)) "Look I know, she is the one. We are meant for each other. I just know if we start things now, when I have so much going on it won't work. I don't want to risk trying now and fucking it up" ((he takes a small bite of his toast)) "I'm stretched so thin right now, with Felix and the gallery. A person can only handle so much, and sadly I am one who can barely handle what I have" ((Alice goes to say something but he continues)) "But then, I opened a door and she was lying on the floor and for a second in my head, she was dead. It makes me sick saying it, but that's where my mind went"

Alice: "I don't think you should let last night change your decision" ((she feels like she's betraying her friend)) "I agree, that if you start things now and you aren't prepared, it will fizzle out. If that happens, who's to say if you'll ever come back from it. Take some time to be there for your family and focus on your dream. Let things settle until you're truly ready" ((she smiles at him)) "Just because you can't be together right now, doesn't mean you can't be in each others lives. Why don't you just start with friendship?" ((She asks her voice almost motherly))
