Everything Has Changed/ Hosie

Oh my God! That bad?

Hope is currently getting ready for the game today. She promised Josie that she would go and she is going to keep her promise. She also wants to talk to her. Not doing so is really killing her so she is standing infront of her mirror drawing a number 1 on her cheek.

She smiles a little remembering the conversation she had with Josie about this moment. The only problem is that she still doesn't know what side to sit on. She lets out a small laugh.

She goes downstairs and waits for her parents to finish getting ready since they insisted in coming along to see Josie play.

They finish about 10 minutes later and head over to the Salvatore school.

" Okay Josie, you need to calm yo ass down." MG says placing his hands on Josie's shoulders.

They are under the stands and Josie is losing her nerves right about now. She doesn't know why since this never happened to her. Is it because she still hasn't seen or talked to Hope in about three days? Probably. She tried going over this morning, but she was already gone for school.

" What is wrong with her?" Jackie asks. The three girls just got there and saw their friend/sister freaking out.

" She is losing it, that's what's wrong!" MG exclaims looking at them.

" It's been three days. I haven't seen her. Oh my God, she's not going to come today. Oh lord, is the championship we have to win. If we don't, I'm going to die." Josie says breathing heavily. " WE CAN NOT LOSE ON OUR HOME FIELD!" She yells grabbing MG by his shoulders and shakes him.

Hope who sees the entire thing from the entrance, walks over to them after telling her parents she'll be back in a minute.

" Jo?" Hope says making Josie freeze in place. She has her back towards Hope and is already sweating a little.

She turns around not believing she heard right. When she sees Hope, tears start forming in her eyes and she lets out a breathe she didn't know she was holding. Everyone else walk away leaving the two.

This being the first time Hope sees the brunette since she heard about the fight, she inhales sharply at the sight of Josie and all the bruises and the cuts and the huge black eye.

" Oh my God! That bad?" Hope asks quickly closing the distance between them. She places both hands on Josie's face and smiles softly when she sees the girl physically relax.

" Yeah. Hope, you're here and you have my number on your face." Josie whispers.

" Of course I am. I wouldn't miss it. Also I told you I would have it there." Hope smiles.

A tear escapes Josie's eye " Can we talk? I need to explain."

" We will, but not right now okay? You have a game to play and you need to focus on that. Can you do that? For me." Hope gently caresses Josie's face. Josie winces a little, the pain still there.

" Yeah, I can do that." She smiles.

" I still don't know where I'm going to sit." Hope chuckles making Josie laugh.

" I don't mind." Josie says. Hope hugs the girl tightly as if her life depended on it. Josie groans, but returns the hug just as tight.

" Why did you groan?" Hope asks quickly pulling away. Josie gives her a sheepish smile lifting her Blue jersey and revealing a lot more bruises.
