Chapter 2

Josie's pov

"LET US OUT!!!" MG screams. I hold Hope tight in my arms in a motherly way, her slow breaths calm me and make my heart flutter. I'm so caught in the moment that i didn't notice the confused looks from the others

"Wait, this is confusing so let's go through it again" Kaleb says not taking his gaze of Hope and I. "Okay" I say and then pause before continuing "so remember break" i ask Kaleb looks confused "when hope crashed the trip" Lizzie states like its the most obvious answer ever "Anyway, we were in the car back and it was just Dad, Lizzie, Hope and i were awake. Lizzie and hope were talking about hope making rumours about Lizzie having an episode when Hope told her that she never said them and asked who told her about the rumours and she found out i made them up to put a wedge between Lizzie and Hope" I say and pause for a moment while i collect my thoughts trying my best to remember that day the best i can "when we got back to school Lizzie and I were arguing over me putting a wedge between Lizzie and Hope when Hope came into the room asking the same question. i told her the truth." I finish not saying what the truth is hoping they will believe that its just that i had a crush "Jo, tell them the truth or i will" Lizzie says "Fine" I state while begrudgingly agreeing "so, i told her that i made them up because i had a crush on her and every time i have ever liked anyone ever Lizzie has gone and tried to get with them and Lizzie never fails, then i admitted to lighting Hopes room on fire when we were younger-not much- and i only did because earlier in the car we were talking about how she lost every thing in that fire including the only painting she made with her dad so i felt bad and knew that she needed to know the truth, well more like deserved because she was left with just the clothes she had on her back" I say finishing some people looked shocked and my dads face was almost unreadable, Almost "Dad, are you mad at me?" i ask trying to make myself look as small as possible but my attempts are unsuccessful for hope is on my lap and i don't want to move to much and wake her up. My dad looked like he was looking for a way to say something but I feel movement on my lap and look down to see the blue eyed girl staring up at me "Jojo what happened?" She asks yawning trying to tuck her head back under my arm, I smile "Sweetheart, you should stay awake so you sleep better tonight" I state much to her disappointment "I'm not moving of your lap" she states as though it's nothing out of the ordinary "do you want to talk with about what happened? ive never seen you have a panic attack before. You normally calm yourself down" I ask her in a soft tone -the kind you would use when talking to a small child- "not yet Jojo" she said looking up at me. She snuggles her head into the crook of my neck, her warm breath tickling the hairs on my neck but her close proximity was making her scent stand out to me and making my head fuzzing almost like I was buzzed. "Josie ,why did you set her room on fire in the first place?" Dad asks I look towards him, he looked lost in thought almost as if you could see the cogs working in his head "I put a note in her room telling her I liked her but as soon as I did I regretted it but it was to late and I couldn't get into the room so I made a fire spell.....I was really just aiming for the note and I never meant to set your room on fire" I say but directing the last bit of the sentence to Hope her eyes look up at me I find myself lost in her eyes the blue colour was being exaggerated by the light in the room but I don't mind.
"Okay I think all of you should go up to your rooms and rest, Josie I'm going to have to call Caroline you know? She's not going to be pleased" he states leaving no room for discussion "Dr Saltzman, we have to find a way out of here first" MG says looking around the room for any clues for where we are. "just go to the door it's unlocked" Hope muttered sleep about to overcome her again "what?" I ask looking down towards her "the monster is gone meaning all of his spells are too , I felt his presence go as I was waking up" she states as tho it was something everyone should have noticed.

I try to move of the floor but Hope is clinging to me as though I'm her lifeline "Sweetie you have to let go so I can go to my room" I say in the softest tone I could although with the stares of everyone on me I felt myself get slightly flushed , I almost released a squeak rather than words "no, carry me Jojo" she says making no move to get up.

I admit defeat and slowly stand up with Hope in my arms "Lizzie I probably won't be able to get her grasp of me tonight she's obviously in a bit of a clingy mood so I will stay over at Hopes room tonight" I conclude to my twin sister. I carry on walking ignoring the stares of people wondering why I had Hope in my arms like a baby but I ignored the stares and carry her all the way to her bed she only let me put her out of my grasp long enough for us both to change into pyjamas.

I become the big spoon and let her lay her head on my chest, her breathing slows and then her quiet snore is all that can be heard. I however have my mind busy, trying to think of what mum and dad are going to decide to do as a punishment,I kiss her forehead before trying to push my thoughts away and slowly drift of....
