Previously on the trio...

Hope left Josie in her own room as she and the others went to Josie's room to clean up her mess.

*30 mins later

After cleaning up her room, Hope went to her room and stayed by Josie's side and soon fell asleep while holding Josie's hand.

---------------------------------------------------------

"Please stop... Please I don't want this... Get off me! Josie said while crying.

Hope woke up to Josie twisting and turning around the bed.

"Josie... Josie...? Josie wake up! Josie wake up!" Hope exclaimed.

"AHHHHHHHHH"Josie screamed.

Josie woke up from the nightmare , she was sweating from head to toe ,
She tried to calm herself down and saw Hope by her side looking at her with a worried expression on her face.

"Josie are you okay? You look really pale, Do you want a cup of warm water?" Hope asked.

"Y-yea... I'm fine... , What time is it, Hope?"Josie said while putting her hand on her head.

"It's 3 in the morning , why?" Hope asked.

"Nothing... Sorry for waking you up." Josie apologized.

Hope walked to her drawer and gave Josie a new pair of hoodie and shorts to change to while she said " it's alright, here take this and have a bath to refresh yourself , don't worry I'll be waiting here for you."

Josie went to the bathroom , and opened the tap to fill the bathtub with water. As the water was running down the tap, Josie started breaking down into tears , traumatized from her past.

Josie's pov
------------------

"WHY!! why does this always happen to me! I cried while putting my hand on my face.

"I always try my best to be good to people and these things always happen,”I screamed while crying.

I saw the bathtub almost full of water and stood up to go off the tap but I suddenly became dizzy and soon it was all black.
(End of POV)

After a period of time , Hope started to get worried about Josie , wondering if something  happened to her. Soon enough she saw water slowing flowing out from the bathroom door, she knew something was wrong and started to knock on the door.

When Hope managed to open the door,she saw Josie laying on the ground unconscious. Hope quickly went in to turn off the tap.

"Josie! Josie are you okay? Can you hear me!"Hope screamed.

Hope quickly picked Josie up and brought her to the nurse's office , Hope laid her down on the bed while the nurse quickly treated Josie.

After a while , the nurse went out of the room to talk to Hope.

" She passed out from too much stress and she was having a fever from hours ago, why did she only come here now?" The nurse asked Hope.

"Thanks for the help , I know what to do , I'll call Lizzie down to take care of her too." Hope said as she slowly walked towards Josie who was on the bed.

Hope went upstairs to Lizzie's room and knocked on her door. ". Come in..." Lizzie said in a annoyed voice.

"Hi... Sorry to wake you up... But your sister passed out , she's in the nurse's office..." Hope said.

After hearing the news, Lizzie jumped out of her bed and ran to the nurse's office with Hope. Lizzie ran to Josie's side and held her hand.

"I'll go get Dr saltzman, stay here with Josie I'll be right back." Hope said.

Lizzie nodded her head while looking at Josie with worry written all over her face.

Hope's pov
-----------------

I ran to Dr Saltzman's office, without knocking I barged into his office. Shocked by the sound , Dr Saltzman woke up and looked at me.

"Hope... Didn’t i say to knock before coming in?" Dr Saltzman said.

"I know , but it's an emergency, you need to come , Josie passed out!"I shouted.

Dr Saltzman quickly jumped out of the couch he was sleeping on. He quickly followed me as I ran to the nurse's office. When we reached , Josie had woken up.
(End of POV)

"Darling , are you okay? How do you feel, what happened? Dr Saltzman said to his daughter Josie.

"I'm f-fine , i-is it okay if I have some time with Hope privately? Josie said weakly.

"Sure." Lizzie and Dr Saltzman said.

As the both of them left the room , it was only Josie and Hope.

"Thank you,Hope." Josie said.

"You're welcome , how do you feel? I heard your fever started hours ago , why didn't you tell Lizzie or me? Hope asked.

" You went missing I couldn't think of myself, I could only think of saving you ,and if I told Lizzie , they wouldn't have let me went there." Josie replied but not able to make eye contact with Hope.

"Josie... You have to start putting yourself first, you have to start thinking about yourself , you don't have to keep helping other people , help yourself first or this kind of things will happen again." Hope said.

Tears started rolling down Josie's cheeks and she didn't realise until Hope was wiping them away with her thumb.

Soon , everybody went back to bed while Hope stayed by Josie's side , Hope looked at Josie who was asleep , She was brushing her hands on Josie's head as she said , " Josie , stop putting other people first , seeing you like this hurts my heart , I don't want to see you like this..."

Before sleeping on the bed beside Josie , Hope placed a kiss on Josie's forehead, little did she know Josie was not sleeping. When Hope fell asleep , Josie stood up and went to Hope and said " I love you Hope..." She then placed a kiss on Hope's cheeks and went back to bed.
