Apologize

"Well, I had a crush on Josie when we were 14."

Josie is quite confused. Hope had a crush on her? She didn't know their relationship was that complex. Whatever. Josie does think Hope's kind of cute, however. Hot, even. But that's not the point. Josie came for one thing and one thing only. To get everyone's memories back.

Josie reveals herself after Hope says she's been back. "I'm back too." She then blasts the ancient Japanese spell through the monster with as much power as she can muster. As you can probably infer, a lot of people drop to the ground and fall at that moment. And after Josie's done casting the spell, she falls too.

"Jo!" Lizzie and Hope both shout. Lizzie looks at Hope in surprise, and Hope just shrugs. The Croatoan takes that opportunity to dramatically move its cloak and slowly walk away.

Lizzie runs to approach her sister, and Hope follows after her.

"Josie, wake up! Hello?" Lizzie turns to Hope, "She's gonna kill us when she wakes up."

"Well, she's wanted to kill me for standing in the way of her and Landon for a couple weeks now, so..." Hope doesn't seem fazed. But Lizzie can tell that Hope is concerned for her and Josie's relationship deep down.

"Drop the act, Hope. You're just as scared as I am." Hope looks away at the moment; she hates being vulnerable.

"Yeah, okay. Maybe I am. Look, I knew this was going to happen, but I was just hoping to stop Malivore once and for all before it did. And now everyone will know that I fucking jumped into Malivore just to stop nothing and cause huge problems between me, Josie, and Landon. So, yeah. I am really scared for everyone to know that I am back. Especially Josie." Lizzie's confused.

"And Landon, too. Right?" Hope looks like a deer in headlights.

"Ugh yeah...Absolutely." That was not very convincing to Lizzie, but whatever. Another problem for another day. Hope suddenly gets a look of fear and recognition on her face.

"Oh, shit! Landon! The Croatoan is after him now that the secret is out. I have to go. Take care of Josie, will you?"

"Hope, she's my sister. Of course I will." Lizzie looks at Hope like she lost all of her brain cells.

"You're right, bye!" Hope runs out as fast as she possibly can, which is extremely fast because of her supernatural capabilities.

Hope knew that Landon would eventually find out. She also knew that he would probably be mad that she's kept this from him for so long. She didn't know, however, that he would be so angry that he would just walk away from her. What the hell? So one night where he almost had sex with Josie and now he doesn't even have the balls to stay and have a conversation with her? She knows that sex with Josie would probably make anyone act out of charac- Wait, what? This is not something that she be going through her head right now.

Hope just decides to walk to the Commonwealth Day festival. She helped set it up, might as well see the product.

"Hey...Jo?" Lizzie sees that Josie's eyes are starting to slowly open. She wonders if Josie will be mad at her or heartbroken for herself and Landon.

"Lizzie?" Josie sits up slowly.

"Where's Hope gone?"

"She went to go save the mop-headed garden gnome from the Croatoan. And I am here to check on you. How are you feeling?" Josie rolls her eyes at Lizzie.
