Missing You

Headspace

Hero's POV
London, a week and a half later...

  I watch as Jo lays back on the bed. I know she hasn't been feeling well and she won't tell me why. It sucks... I just wanna help her.

  "That felt like the longest night ever," she giggles but I know it's fake. I know her, I know when somethings wrong. She sits up and I see her face fall before she smiles again.

  "Aren't we supposed to see your family today? Or whatever is left of today." She jokes and smiles a little more. I know she's in some kind of pain, and she won't fucking tell me why.

  "Don't you wanna call your sister first?" I say softly, sitting on the bed next to her. I know if somethings wrong she'll tell Katherine.

  "Yeah, I'll call Katherine." She smiles, and I stand up and she frowns. "Where are you going?" She asks softly and I kiss her.

  "I'm going to get us some coffee, call your sister okay babe?" I smile and she nods, telling me what she wants. It's decaf, so it's not technically coffee which is once again weird. She's just not acting like herself. She takes out her laptop so she doesn't kill the battery of her phone.

  "After I get the coffee we should go to my moms house, and we might stay the night so pack a bag." She nods and I smile more. I'm so happy she wants to see my family. I go over and put my shoes on before I leave.

I just hope Katherine tells me what she says.

Just like we agreed.

Jo's POV

  After the third try, my sister finally answers. I smile at her through the screen. "I'm sorry Jo, my manager called me unexpectedly." She apologizes and I shake my head.

  "It's okay, why are you apologizing?" I laugh softly "I miss you, a lot." I smile, it's probably just my hormones, right?

  "You should call more often, but instead you're sleeping with Hero." We both laugh, god do I miss her so much. I rub my eyes a head a bit before I move my laptop so she can watch as I pack.

  "Where are you two going?" She asks, and I smile as I tell her about how Hero's mom wants to see us before we go to Italy and then back home. "That sounds great!" She says and I lean on the wall a bit, just in view of the camera. I'm so dizzy... fuck this is annoying.

  "Jo? Are you okay?" She asks as I slide down the wall. "

  Yeah I just haven't been feeling well today..." I say and stand back up. I gotta push through this. I'm fine, I have to keep telling myself that. "How's Mum and dad?" I say as I pack a pair of jeans and leggings, then some sweat pants for me and Hero.

  "They're... as good as they can be I guess. Did Mum tell you?" I stop at her words and shake my head. She sighs, "Dad moved out last week. God knows why but she thinks he's going on one of his... adventures." I sigh at that. The last time he did that I was 10; I thought they've been in a good place since then.

  "I'm sure everything will be fine... maybe he needs to get away for a bit or something." I say and purposely step out of frame before I hold my stomach and take a deep breath. Deep breathing feels so much better...

  "I can see you Jo, what's wrong?" She ask and I do the deep breathing again. I grab the laptop and bring it to the floor with me. I hold my stomach as tears fall down my face. This is the worst it's been all day.

  "I'm- I'm fine Kat... I'm perfectly fine." I start breaking down crying more. "I can't tell him... I can't tell him he'll leave me." I start crying more.
