Same Love (newt) 1

Chapter 2

Charlie waited impatiently on the other end of the door, his arms shifting uncomfortably at his sides, his temperature raising with each second he stood there alone. He was nervous.

When the smiling blonde girl opened the door, an immediate half grimace half smirk appeared on his flawless being and Josie couldn't help but wonder what moisturiser he uses.

Yet as soon as she looked at the friendly guard her eyes narrowed in suspicion, and as quick as the eye could see, she had yanked the young boy inside by his arm and slammed the door shut behind him.

"What is up with you?" There was no anger in her demand, it was more a plea for information.

Josie hated being kept in the dark, and she always was, with everything. So much so that over the years, she had learned to not bother asking at all. Everything she knows apart from 'WICKED is good' she had learnt through her friendly companion, Charlie and his accidental slip ups. Perhaps this is why she enjoyed the boys company so much.

"N-Nothing." After his initial stutter the boy had composed himself, a stoic expression masking the once obvious discomfort on his face. However after knowing the boy for so long Josie could easily recognise the edge to his words, and concluded he was hiding something from her.

She briefly wondered if it was in any way connected to the new patients arriving later today, however the more she thought about it, the more impossible the idea seemed. Charlie has never mentioned being connected to the head doctors security detail.

The whole situation was infuriating, all she ever wanted to understand was why they kept here? What was the point? She was basically a glorified maid.

Throwing a questioning look at the boy, she decided to test the waters. "Doctor B-I-T-C-H, is keeping me from entering the whole medical section, like, what if I was to slip, fall and break my back? What would be done then? Would I have to lay their and die?" She paused briefly, breathing in deeply. "I'm too young to die!"

He gave me a silent look, "I hope you're joking" he replied before slowly reaching his hand to my shoulder. "I'm sure Doctor Crawford has all good intentions. She wouldn't tell you this otherwise."

Something about this whole situation gave Josie shivers, she couldn't help but feel that something big was about to happen. Nothing ever happens at WICKED, at least not to her.

Her most interesting story was when Janson ran and fell right in front of her, but she had to admit she laughed at that for at least ten minutes straight. Janson was not pleased at all.

Janson had always hated Josie, sure he was pleasant enough to her, but there was something about his smell, and that constant smirk on his face, like he was better than everyone else. She hated it.

Josie and Charlie continued to converse for a while, talking about anything from food to the best employees.

Suddenly there was a booming announcement from the speakers overhead. "Jocelyn, please make your way to the cafeteria, once again Jocelyn to the cafeteria."

"Welp" she sighed, slowly standing up. "Sorry to leave you without my presence, but it seems I am needed" she gave a gleeful smile before leaving the room in a quick sprint.

The girl tried to hide her excitement as she rushed down the halls, her days here dragged and the only thing that could raise her spirits was doing work, no matter how insignificant it seems.

Once in the room she observed the empty space, it was not very often where the cafeteria was bare due to the constant rescues WICKED carried out. The chairs were barren of the usual happy children, she guessed that they may all be in their rooms seeming as it was getting late, however they would be returning soon for dinner.

Quickly she opened the back door, sneaking her head around the corner she gave a soft knock to the wall beside her indicating her presence.

The girl was caught off guard to see Officer Janson standing in the middle, multiple dinner ladies surrounding him. Disgusting her to see them batting their eyelashes and giving flirtatious smiles. She had to resist from rolling her eyes. Some people's standards were low.

Janson turned swiftly in his feet, his expensive looking suit coat railing behind him. Seems someone had been lied to, the girl thought. Those high necks were not a look.

"Ah, Jocelyn. Just the person I have been looking for." He steadily made his way towards the girl, each step echoing in the silent room. He stopped once he was standing in front of her, a permanent frown on his person. She wondered if he knew what happiness was.

"I'm sure you're aware by now, but we are due new arrivals in fairly soon-" He stopped to look at his watch before proceeding.

" I am requesting for your help, a girl, your age will be arriving and we feel it will be best for your help transporting her. It will help to gain her trust and ease her into this new environment. I'm sure you understand the struggle."

Josie didn't know how to reply, it was twice today that she had been requested of things beyond anything ever before. Strange. Of course, the girl was not going to turn down this opportunity, this was an amazing chance to explore, and maybe even receive some answers. Such as where WICKED found all these children, were parents willingly handing in teenage children?

"That will be all, Meet me outside the medical room A in an hours time. No earlier, No later." The man began to walk away, leaving no room for objection.

"The medical ward? But Sir, Dr Crawford specifically asked me to stay away from the ward tonight, safety reasons" The blonde trailed off towards the end noticing Jansons frown deepening, if that was even possible.

"And I have asked you to join me, now that's an order"

And without another word he left the room, the fort slamming behind him with a room shaking thud.

Do not worry, Newt will be here next chapter lol <3
Please stick with me while I start this book, it was mainly off a whim so there may be some changes if I can think of a better idea to suit the plot.
Much love xoxo
