The Girl Who Had Only One Dress. (herophine)

28. "Go. Leave me again, like you're always doing!"

JO.

I took another deep breath as I decided to stand up from the bed and do something productive.

Did he really kiss someone else?

Thoughts were running through my head while I walked on the hallway of the hotel. 

I was sufferring and he was making out with someone else.

I suddenly felt angry. I thought we had something special, something that we wouldn't throw away for just anyone.

The hormonal prick. Was it that hard to wait for me?

I found myself not sleeping at all that night. When we took our flight back to England the next day, it was so hard for me avoid him. 

"No, you are not sitting next to each other" George said when Hero came to sit next to me on the plane.

"But, dad..." Hero tried to protest and before he could finish his sentence I had already moved in a seat away from him.

I slept in the whole flight, avoiding everyone around me. 

When we finally reached the house Theo and Mercy were waiting at the door. 

God, I missed the house. I missed everyone.

The sight of Mercy made my heart warm and suddenly everything didn't seem so bad anymore. She squeeled when she saw me and I ran to her as we fell into each other's arms.

"My sister is back!" Mercy yelled in excitement.

"I missed you so much" I whispered in her hair. I suddenly wanted to cry. I was finally safe here. But I held it in.

"I missed you too" I saw Mercy shed some tears and we both laughed. It was happy tears.

Then I glanced at Theo. He gave me a heartwarming smile and we both high fived each other. 

"Everybody had been going crazy without you. I always knew you'd come back, though" he said cockily.

I laughed.

I glanced at Hero who had his head down.

"Hey" Theo touched my arm to get my attention. "He missed you like crazy" he muttered to me so only I could here.

But aparently I was salty.

"Oh, he missed me? When exactly? When he was sticking his tongue down another girl's throat?" I remarked loud and clear in front of everyone crossing my arms right after.

I saw Hero take in a sharp breath. 

"Jo..." he only said.

I looked at him and waited. Is he going to explain? Does he have the guts to admit it in front of his friends and family?

But instead he said nothing.

So, I stormed off.

Actually, I would have stormed off, if George hadn't stopped me.

"Look, Josephine is going to live with us from now on. I know you guys have a history" he looked at me and Hero. "The thought of having two uncontrolable and hormonal kids who like each other in my house scares me. I'm sorry if I was strict and harsh before. I just don't want you to get hurt. I can't force you to not have feelings for each other, but please for my sake, if you can't forget each other, avoid each other, don't talk to one another. Please" he begged.

I looked at Hero who was already looking at me. 

"We're going to adopt Josephine, anyway. You guys are going to be siblings" Martha continued. "What are the people are going to say?"
