Rule # 6

Chapter 19

Jo's pov

I didn't know what to do so I ran I know I'm a coward you don't have to rub it in. It's been two days I shut my phone off and have been curled up in my bed only coming out to use the bathroom. My mom has been bringing me food and drinks but I can't keep anything down so I just toss it in my wastebasket. A knock on my door makes me groan "come in" I say. The door opens and Mercy comes walking in. "Hey" she says shyly. "Hi" I say back nervously. "I'm so sorry" we both blurt out at the same time making us laugh. "I should of told you about wanting to apply to Harvard" I tell her sincerely. "Yeah you should have but I get it" she says giving me a hug. "Maybe we can apply to both Berkeley and Harvard plus a few others just in case" I say to her. "Yes as long as we go together I'll be happy" she says. "How's Hero been?" I ask her nervously. "Just as bad as you I suppose maybe worse he looks like shit" she says tearing up making me start to cry. "I can't be apart from him these last 2 days nearly broke me" I sob out. "Let's go to my house" Mercy says pulling me out of bed then she waves her hands in front of her face as she giggles saying "maybe you should shower first." "Shut it I've been heart broken" I tell her swatting her arm. But I do agree and jump in and take a quick shower and shave fast. I get dressed in the clothes Mercy laid out a pair of shorts and a simple white tank top with a white bra and pantie set. I throw my white vans on and me and Mercy head out the door. We get to her house and I stop her at the door and say "what if he doesn't want this anymore?" "You won't know unless you try" she tells me pulling her inside. I hear Felix and Hero arguing over their game they must be playing FIFA because Hero yells "that's a cheap shot you wanker." Mercy pulls me into the living room and Hero sees me and glares at Mercy as he ignores me looking at the tv. "Felix I need you in the other room please" Mercy says grabbing his head set and pulling him off the couch. "What the fuck we're playing a damn game" Hero yells out at her. I sigh and sit down on the couch as Hero shifts away he takes his head set off and says "well if it isn't princess Josephine so what do I owe for this great blessing of your presence after you ran off and ignored me for two damn days" he says with venom in his voice. "Hero I'm sor" I begin to say but he cuts me off and yells "no Jo you always do this you run and then come back and say sorry and all is supposed to be forgiven." "Seriously Hero I needed some time to think about everything" I say getting annoyed. "And what did you think about it then?" he says sarcastically. "How to keep you both. I can't lose either of you" I say crying. He looks at me and sighs as he pulls me closer to him he rubs his thumb on my cheek wiping my tears away he says "please don't cry baby girl." "Mercy agreed to apply to school's in Boston with me as well as Berkeley" I tell him. "I need you with me in Boston" he says pleadingly. "I'll try my hardest to join you there" I tell him pulling him in for a kiss he sighs as our lips connect our lips moving perfectly in sync our tongues colliding and caressing together. As we pull apart to get some air our foreheads pressed together he says "I missed you so damn much." I caress his cheek and say "I missed you too." Mercy and Felix come back in to the living room as Hero and me hold each other close she yells out "finally I couldn't handle mopey moody Hero for one more second." Felix laughs and says "I have some news to tell you guys." "What's up mate?" Hero asks him. "Well I'm going to Harvard too" he says excitedly. Hero let's go of me and jumps up saying "no fucking way are you shitting me" as he grabs Felix in for a hug. "Yeah man I was shocked I even got in" he says nervously scratching his head. "That's awesome Felix" I say smiling. "Babe I'm so proud of you" Mercy says hugging him as he smiles at her. "Thanks baby" he says giving her a kiss. "Imagine if you two get into Harvard then we can all take over Boston" Hero says excitedly. "Looks like I better study harder" Mercy says nervously. "We'll do it together and if we can't get into Harvard there are like 30 other schools in Boston" I try and reassure her. She nods her head and smiles at me and then she says "well looks like me and Felix are gonna leave now I'll talk to you later Jo love you." "Love you too bye Felix" I shout out after them. Hero comes back to the couch and groans "what's the matter babe?" I ask him. "Nothing love" he says shrugging. "Hero" I say exasperated. "Fine I want to know how miserable you were without me because you look so damn beautiful and I look like utter shit" he says pointing down at his dirty clothes and then his bags under his eyes. "Trust me I looked just as bad and smelled way worse when your sister came and dragged me out of my bed" I say giggling. "Good because I've been fucking miserable without you I haven't slept I barely ate without getting nauseous and worse of all I kept having nightmares of me leaving for school and never seeing you again" he says with tears in his eyes. "Baby I'm so sorry I've been so miserable just like you I haven't slept or ate and the only thing that comforted me was sleeping in your t-shirt you left at my house because it still smelled like you" I say with tears in my eyes. "Please don't run again, don't leave me promise" he says pleadingly. "I promise" I say kissing him. He leads me up to his room and I begin to take my clothes off but he stops me and says "as much as I'd love to fuck the shit out of you right now I'm exhausted and  need some sleep first." "Oh ok call me later then" I say as I go to leave he pulls me back by my arm and says "no love I sleep better with you here in my arms." I smile as Hero gets undressed and leaves just his boxers on I take my shorts off and Hero gasps. "What?" I ask teasingly. "Fuck your perfect" he says pulling me closer. "And your tired" I say poking his dimples. "Yeah not anymore" he says as he begins to caress my breasts he kisses my neck and moves down as he lifts my shirt he begins to kiss my stomach and then moves to my panties looking up at me he says "do you want this?" I nod my head yes but he shakes his head and says "uh uh miss words please." "Yes fuck Hero I want this" I mutter out. He smirks as he slides my panties down as he runs his thumb along my clit teasing me. "Damn love your already wet for me" he says licking his thumb clean. He pulls his boxers off and climbs over me as he positions himself he enters in me slowly and we both moan out. As he pulls one of my legs over his shoulder he continues to thrust into me and the room is filled with our moans and groans. "Fuck baby I've missed you so damn much" he pants out in between thrusts. "I've missed you so much too" I moan out. "Cum with me Hero I'm so close" I moan as I feel my walls tighten and clench as my juices spread down my thighs my eyes roll to the back of my head and the sound of Hero's body connected with mine echoes through the room. "Fuck I'm cumming" he groans out as he lets his seeds loose inside me. We catch our breathes as we hold each other close. After a few minutes Hero rolls off me and smiles saying "that was bloody amazing love." I giggle as I snuggle into him and say "it sure was babe." "Let me get us a towel or something I'll be right back" he says kissing me. A few minutes later he comes back with a wet rag having already changed into his boxers. He comes over to me and starts to rub between my legs and down my thighs with the wet towel I stare at him as he watches his hands glide up and down my thigh.  Fuck that feels good too bad he's exhausted and so am I or I could use a round two. "Ok I think I'm clean enough" I say as I pull him back on to the bed and throw my panties back on. He chuckles as I hop back into the bed with him he pulls me in his arms so I'm snuggled against his chest as he caresses my hair. "Why did you laugh?" I ask him. "Just thinking about something" he says smirking. "And that is?" I say glaring at him. We just had sex what could he possibly find funny? "Just wondering if you were thinking of a round 2 while I wiped you clean" he says cheekily. "What no of course not" I scoff. "Yeah ok Jo keep telling yourself that my subconscious mocks me. "It's ok babe don't be shy" he says wrapping his arms around me as he holds me closer my leg draped across him. I blush as I look up at him he's smiling as I say "fine I was but we are both exhausted after these past 2 days so that will have to wait." "I knew you were thinking about it don't worry love so was I. But your right let's get some rest" he says giving me a kiss. I drift off to sleep listening to the steady rythym of Hero's heart beat.
