Josephine Langford: a girl that need to move out from her country and follow her British dream so Christin Collins a big family friend that has a publishing house in the center of London so he invites her to work with him.
She doesn't think too long...
"You heard right?" I ask once the taxi stops right in front of my building. "Not everything, but enough to understand that she played you." my sister says looking at me under her long lashes. "Listen to me. Don't even think about her. She is toxic and you don't need fake friends like her." my sister says placing her hands on my shoulders and looking at me right into my eyes. I let go a tear. I can't hold it anymore. In my life I always suffered because I was so lonely during my teenage years. I had no friends. I obviously lied to Hero when I told him that my friends weren't that sad of my departure and that they were happy for me, because I don't really have friends there a now discovering that the one of the two friends that I have here, played me and acted this whole time... it destroys me. "Come here." Kath says pulling me close to her and then I hug her hiding my face in her neck. "Okay, you'll find the way to tell him." she says stroking my back. "I can't tell him now, I'll ruin his Christmas holidays." I say hiccuping. "You'll tell him after Christmas. It will all go well and he will see that his best friend is a psychopath. As we always says: lies ha-" she says. "-ve short legs." I say leaning back looking at her smiling. She wipes my tears with her thumbs. The driver clears his throat annoyed so I immediately step outside and wave to my sister headed to Christians.
I get home while Hero thank God decided to stay at his mom's for a bit longer. I lay on the sofa looking at our Christmas tree. I still can't believe it what happened today. She ruined my Christmas Eve. My phone buzzes in my beg, interrupting my thoughts.

I take the little box that still in my bag. I unwrap it and I look at the earrings that I bought under Hero's suggestion for Scarlett. I still so unbelievably insane to me what happened in Martha's bathroom. She acted the whole time but meanwhile she gave me so many great suggestions about how handle things with Hero. I'm so confused. I think today was tough for her to handle things, even she's the most talented actress in whole London. I can imagine how hard was for her stay and listen Martha saying how Hero and I are a such a cute couple and that she is happy for his son. I guess she wanted to be in that moment.
My thoughts get interrupted by the sound of the door opening and then Hero walks in. I put down the box and I lay back on the couch looking at him entering. He has a big smile on his full lips, he looks gorgeous than ever. "Hey." I say looking at him talking of his black Nike still struggling with it because of the brace wrapping his knee. Once got rid of his shoes he starts to walk to me. His eyes are shiner than usual, thing that rise up my moral after the awful discover of this evening. "Hello my little bean." he says before lay literally on me. I wrapped my arms around his torso while he places his head between my shoulder and neck. His scent knows how to calm me down and make me feel like at home. I let my body enjoy Hero's warmth and his weight on me that isn't suffering at all. I giggle thing about how he just called me. He looks up tickling my neck with his hair. His eyes seems so confused but then he smiles finding me still giggling about it. "What?" he asks. "Little bean?" I ask caressing his check and leaning down and brushing my nose and lips to his. "Why you don't like it?" he asks looking at my mouth. "No no, it's just new to me." I say looking at his blue eyes and then kissing his lips. When I close my eyes my thoughts disappear and my mind get rid of the name of "Scarlett Greg". He leans back making me open my eyes and look at him staring at me literally laid on me. "That's what I really needed." I whisper to him making him smile. "So did you enjoyed the lunch?" he asks so curious while his eyes don't give me peace, they are literally aimed at me. Did I enjoyed? Yes. It could be gone better without Scarelett? Absolutely fucking yes. I can tell Hero this? Hell no. "I loved it. Everything went so smoother than I thought. I was so terrified to like hit the bottle of wine, say something wrong or get drunk." I say honestly. He smiles chuckling. "She loved you. I'm not lying. She already was happy bout it when I told her and today she was even happier. Titan loves you and also Mercy does." he say placing some humid kisses on my neck. "I love you family." I say and he blink twice staring at me. I think I fought him off guard. "Your mom is such an appassionate woman, your brother is such a down to earth person and your sister... I would like to get more in touch with her." I say honestly, also because now that Nathan seems to think about leaving and move in New York and let's not talk about Scarlett, I definitely need new friends. "Oh, she would like it two and honestly I would love to see you two get along like you did with Scar." he says and only when I hear her name I feel a knot on my throat trying to choke me. "Talking about Scarlett. Why you didn't gave her gift?" he says standing up and I do the same sitting normally on the couch. I take a deep breath locking agh him sitter on my right, looking at the little red box placed on our coffe table.
