Herophine One Shots... 💖

It was meant to be🌍💖

Jo
I still can't believe that I am going to be Josephine Fiennes-Tiffin, me and Hero have been dating for three years now ever since hitting it off during filming the first After film. We only have After ever happy left to film and then the films are all finished, I'm dreading it ending for good but I have to say the past three years have been the best of my life I have met some of my closest friends and the love of my life. Me and Hero have had a lot of ups and downs and hardships over the past three years but each time we only end up being stronger and I can't imagine my life without him by my side. I was so fucking shocked the night he proposed to me it was so out of the blue, well now I think back it wasn't, but it took me by complete and utter surprise.

For the past twelve months Hero has been writing me the cutest love letters which took my complete surprise because he doesn't often show his soft side, but he kept it up for twelve whole months, one letter for each month and then we got to July and I got the last letter....

"Jo,
You have no idea how much you mean to me; I know I tell you all the time, but I could never actually put into words exactly how much you mean to me. The past three years have been amazing who would of thought that signing on to be the leads of After we would end up here three years on happy and together... As you know you are my first ever girlfriend, I never found anyone who I thought was worthy, until you. You have made me the happiest version of myself over the past few years and the fact that my family adore you makes it all the better. This day three years ago we met for the first time, can you believe that? So, I found it fitting that I gave you your letter today. So this is actually the last one, 12 letters, 12 months... but don't be to disheartened I think this will be your favourite. So on this day three ago I seen you for the first time (well in person) because as soon as I found out your name I was straight on Google looking you up, I honestly think I fell there and then seeing them google images, but when I seen you in person in the hotel lobby make-up free you took my breath away, you still do to this day. Jo your so fucking beautiful and all mine, you mean the absolute fucking world to me, so with that I figured lets spend the night reminiscing... In my side of your wardrobe on the shelf is a blue box, inside it is a ticket to Atlanta it leaves this afternoon - hence me telling you to read the letter as soon as you woke up, I'll meet you in the lobby at the same table that Anna introduced us at... See you soon beautiful - I love you, Always H xxx"

That letter had me in tears he was right it was the best one It was more romantic than the rest and the fact he had a surprise weekend away planned but that wasn't all. Once I arrived in Atlanta and seen my gorgeous man sitting at the table holding a single rose he told me he had another surprise, he had me blindfolded as he got us to the lake from the film, Hardin's favourite place. When he finally took the blindfold off I couldn't believe my eyes, there were candles along the bridge and rose petals with a small blanket at the end and a bottle of champagne on ice, all this to remember the first day we met how bloody lucky was I.

***Flashback***
"Hero, this is amazing, all this to remember the first day we met?" she says, "Not just that no, come on sit down," he says grabbing her wrist and leading them down the bridge. "You okay, your sweating?" she asks wiping his forehead smiling, "Yeah I'm good, so I wanted this to be special, this lake is a huge part of us, it was in this lake that we had our first proper kiss, I know it was technically Hardin and Tessa's first kiss but it was that kiss I realised how much I wanted you. The past three years have been amazing Jo, you mean so fucking much to me and I thought this was the perfect place to do this," he says shuffling around to get the box from his pocket. "Wait do what?" she asks looking confused, "Jo I can't imagine my life without you, I want to wake up to you every day, I want to fight with you over whether we eat at McDonalds or a nice restaurant, I want to build a life with you and only you," she's got her hand over her mouth, "H-h-hero what are you do-" she starts, "Just shh and let me finish, You're the perfect girl Jo, your my whole world and more I've never been this happy in my life and that's down to you, I don't want you to be my girlfriend anymore Jo, I want you to be my wife, I know this is soon and we are only young but I can't imagine myself with anyone else, it will always be you, marry me Jo?" he asks shaking, "Are you serious?" she says crying, "No I'm joking.... Of course, I'm fucking serious," he says smirking, "Of course I'll marry you," she says wrapping her arms around his neck kissing him as the tears fall down her face.
***End of flashback***

Today I am at Hero's childhood home so I can spend the day with Mercy and Martha as they want to plan the engagement party. "Hey sweet girl, so I spoke to your mum and we think it would be a good idea to get pictures of you and Hero as kids and then now, what do you think?" Martha asks, "Yeah that sounds cool," I say smiling taking a sip from my coffee, "Great well your mum is going to bring some of your pictures with her when she arrives in a few days and I thought us three girls could go through the family albums today?" she says smiling pointing to the table full of albums, "Oh my god yes I can't wait to see little Hero," I say walking over to the table. We spend the next couple hours drinking wine and going through all the family albums, Martha and Mercy telling me so many funny stories from over the years, "Oh here's one that has a funny story, we went on holiday to Florida in 2003 and for a whole week Hero had a little girlfriend, they were inseparable they even gave each other sweet rings saying they were married, the whole holiday he spent playing with this little girl, Oh what was her name, argh I can't remember but it was the cutest thing ever two 6 year olds claiming to be in love and that they were married then she left and we still had a week to go and he practically cried and sulked the whole week," she says smiling at the picture, "Well I guess I'm not going to be his first wife then, that is so bloody cute, can I see?" I ask holding my hand out for the picture, as she hands me the picture my face falls realisation hitting me like a ton of bricks, "JOSIE," Martha shouts, "Her name was Josie, we called her Josie Jump," she says laughing but stops when she see's my face, "Jo what's wrong?" she asks, "I can't believe I forgot," I say shaking my head, "Forgot what love?" she asks, "It's me, I'm Josie jump," I say.

The room is so quiet you would be able to hear a pin drop, I'm sat looking at the picture in utter disbelief as Martha and Mercy are sat watching me confusion clear as day written on their faces. "I'm confused," Mercy says, "This is me," I say pointing to the little girl in the picture, "We went to Florida in 2003 for Kath's birthday, I was so excited about going and spending the week with my sister but when we got there she met some kids her own age and pushed me aside and I remember sitting at the pool feeling sorry for myself and then a little boy came up and asked if I wanted to play, he said his name was Hero but I didn't believe him I thought he was just being silly saying he was a superhero, but for the whole week we spent all our time together until it was time to go home, how did I forget all of this? Oh my god Hero was my first kiss!" I shout, "Holy shit you couldn't make this shit up," Mercy says grabbing the photo from my hands, "Mercy language! This is crazy," Martha says, "He said to me the day I was leaving that we would find each other again and here we are almost 20 years later about to be married for real," I say crying. "I can't wait to see the dipshits face when will he be home?" Mercy says laughing sipping on her wine.

A few hours later Hero walks into the kitchen with Felix, "Hey babe," he says putting his arm around me kissing my head, "Eww you stink," I say pushing him off, "You love it," he says crushing my face into his sweaty shirt, "Herooo," I pout as he laughs, "What you all doing here?" Felix asks, "We've been going through all the old family photos mum and Liz think it will be cute to have pictures of them as kids and then now," Mercy says, as Hero grabs that photo from the table, "Oh my god I forgot all about this, babe I'm actually already married, shit," he says laughing handing Felix the photo, "Oh my god Josie jump, fuck you were obsessed with this girl until we went to secondary school even though you only knew her for a week," he says laughing as Hero smacks his head, "Well funny story," Martha says looking at me silently asking permission to tell him and I nod, "We found Josie jump," she says laughing, "No shit, when, where?" Felix asks, "she's sitting right here," I say smirking, "I'm confused," Felix says sitting down grabbing a drink, "Of course you are dipshit, Josephine is Josie...." Mercy says smacking the back of Felix' head, "What the fuck, your Josie, my Josie...."
