Always and Forever

2. Let's Talk

Josie

Did she just?... She hung up on me. I can't believe her...
»Josie won't you go to sleep now?« my sister lizzie asked me. I turned to face her but didn't say anything.
»what? Just because that ice block hope doesn't want to talk to you, doesn't mean you should let it all out on me« okay she may be right, but I just don't get it.
We were so close before all that happened with her family and now... It's all gone.

»I know sorry, I just miss her« I said while I was looking at my phone. I just want to be her friend again.
»I know you do..., but we should sleep now« lizzie said and turned the lights out. Might as well get some sleep.

»Josie...josie!« lizzie woke me up and gave me with that almost a heartattack.
»don't ever do that again... Ever« she apologized and told me that we were almost late for breakfast , that made me jump out my bed and hurry with the clothes and hair. We took our belongings and hurried down to the cafeteria and got our food tray.
»so... Doesn't seem like there's enough space to sit anywhere« she said while I was searching for place to sit, that's when I saw her. Sitting there all alone and quiet.

»yes there is« I said and pulled her to the Table where SHE was sitting.
»what? Where, oh no. No we are not sitting with that aggressive Muttwitch« she complained but still followed me to her table. »yes we are, now stop complaining« I said and placed my tray on the table. Hope looked up and faced us, she rolled her eyes and went on eating, but not without muttering a quiet 'great..'.
I don't know why she's pushing me away, but i will find out why. One way or another.

»Hope... Can we like.. Talk?« I was nervous, she makes me nervous. She didn't say anything. »Hope-« she cut me off. »No. I'm pretty sure I told you yesterday to leave me alone?« she said and had that face that said... I don't know what it said. I couldn't read it.
»please, just give me a chance... Just...can we talk later?« I asked and pleaded her to give me one chance.
She thought about it and lastly agreed to meet me at the old Mill at 6 pm.

Class, it is one of the places where I just don't want to be. Not because of the boring subjects because there none of boring subjects at our school if you know what I mean. It's because I can't concentrate here. Being in the same class as Hope doesn't make it very easy. I don't know why, but I just can't stop staring at her.
I am also pretty sure that she noticed it, I can see that she's trying not to turn my way.
I noticed that she was doing something at her table, or was it her paper? She was doin a spell and then out of nowhere there was suddenly something written at my empty paper.  'stop staring'. Yep, that's Hope.

I couldn't help but to stare at her, she just so beautiful and stunning-wait! No no no. I can't be thinking of her like that. Just friends, we are just gonna be friends.
I was so deep in my thoughts that I didn't even notice that class was already over.
»are you just gonna keep sitting here? or are you gonna keep me company on my way to the Mill?« I was surprised to hear that from Hope.
»I thought you wanted to meet at 6pm?« she looked around and couldn't find herself meeting my eyes.
»hmm well okay I'll go with you« I said as I took my belongings and walked side by side with her to the
Old Mill.

We were walking in the woods all in silence, none of us dared to say a word until Hope broke the ice.
»I'm sorry that I... You know... That I'm being a bitch to you and the others. Mostly to you« she said and looked down to the ground while walking.
»it's okay, to be honest you were a bitch. Yep. But... I understand it. You have your reasons« she smiled a bit at my statement.
We arrived at the Mill and sat Inside it to chat in peace.
We were alone and no one disturbed us. » so you're saying, that you're gonna stop being a bitch?« I asked curiosly.
