fifty-one: the train guy

Hero's Pov

I clenched my teeth so much during my whole drive that my head is aching.
Felix have the boys over and they all didn't expect my visit, not with a sport bag with on some of my clothes.
Felix tosses me a glass with an aspirin in it that still sparkling in it.
I see everybody's stare glaring on me.
I take a sip of the salty solution hoping that will help my with my headache.
"Bro, what happened? She kicked you out?" Alex asks looking at my black sport bag.
Did she kicked me out? Not really.
"Not really but it happened a mess." I say placing the empty glass on the coffee table in front of the couch.
"What happened man?" Valand asks.

We all get cozy on the couches and then I start to explain everything from the beginning.
When I'm finally done I decide to light up a cigarette and let the nicotine take care of my destroyed nerves.

"Shit. This is so messy." Jack says. I didn't saw him from a while and I get that it's so hard to keep up with all these information.
"I don't know who to trust." I confess desperate letting out the smoke.
"Man, you know Scarlett from like 12 years now? You really putting a girlfriend over a friend?" Alex asks.
"To be honest man, I believe more to Jo." Morgz says in a whispers and then the silence take place on Felix's living room.
Now we are staring at him.
"Why?" I ask surprised by his affirmation.

My phone starts to buzz on my jeans pocket.
I take it out and I read who is it.
It's Jo. I hang up and put that on silence.
I told her that I need some time to figure this out. I don't have the power to talk to her now.
"I'm not saying that she could be this manipulative but maybe Jo is right about Scarlett having feeling for you." Morgz says.
I help myself bro not my jaw drop.
"Nah man, no way. I think that if someone is lying here is his girlfriend." Jack says.
Felix looks at him furrowing his forehead looking so annoyed.
"Man, you didn't even know her." Felix says rolling his eyes.
"What do you think?" I ask knowing that if someone knows her like I do is Felix.
"I think that it could be true. If I think we'll about it every time we talk about someone of the group she always talks about you." Felix says.
"Bro that's so damn true. If I say like 'Jack killed on the field today' she immediately says
'H was amazing today.' She talks about you so much man." Valand says and then I'm so surprised.
So everyone trust Jo besides Alex and Jack?
"Bro if you didn't noticed it, you need to keep more attention when people talks." Morgz says shaking his head disbelief and sipping his Corona beer.
"I didn't noticed that but this still not confirm that she have feelings for me." I say extinguish the ended cigarette on the ashtray.
"You know, there's one thing that you can do to for discover if Jo is telling you the truth." Valand says with a light smile on his lips.
"What it is?" I ask so curious about it.
I'll take every option to be able to get out of this mess quickly.
"Kiss Scarlett." he says slowly looking into my eyes with hazelnut color eyes.
Everyone snap their head up looking at Valand with so many different reactions.
"I'm not gonna kiss our Scar." I say.
She is practically our sister.
"But man he is right. If Jo is right, Scar will never confess it knowing that you dong feel the same thing and not after this mess. If you kiss her and she will kiss you back, Jo is right." Felix says putting his sweater on.
God they are right. Why I didn't thought of it before? But there is one problem: Jo.
"Josephine will kill me if she is going to know that." I say biting my nails.
"She is smart. She will understand when you will explain to her why you did it." Morgz says.
I run my hair nervous and I leaned my head back closing my eyes and covering my face with my hands.

Josephine's Pov

I'm trembling.
I'm trembling like I've never did before.
A sense of infinite fear take over of my whole body while I can feel the cold sweat run over my back and my hair.
