Herophine: beyond after

Chapter 1

Jo pov

Hero leads the video announcement for the fans as we wrap the last movie of the after franchise. What he says next, surprises me.

"I wouldn't want you over anyone else" he says as the camera is still recording

I just stand there in shock as he compliments me but also makes me realize how sad it is to be ending.

The last couple of years with hero and the cast have been really special and the love and support we get from the fans only makes this experience 10x better. It's sad that this is ending but greater things are always to come.

Hero and I embrace in a hug and I whisper a small remark in his ear. Something personal for just the two of us.

We pull away give a smile to the camera, do a funny little dance and that's it, it's over. The video will be posted as our wrap video and the fans will go crazy. I on the other hand am very sad, it's becoming so real.

"This is so bittersweet" Castille our amazing director says walking up to us and embracing us in a hug.

"Thank you Castille for everything" I say to her and she brushes it off. She has always been so humble.

"You two are the stars. Congrats on 4 movies. Just getting to work with you on these last two have been such a privileged" she says and I personally give her another hug.

We end up taking a bunch of photos with the producers and the crew. Then finally after a long day we're done. It's over.

I walk out of my trailer for the last time and see the crew already deconstructing sets and equipment.

Hero runs up to me and catches me by surprise at first but I'm happy it's him. I'm going to miss him.

"Hungry?" He asks with his big smile that lights up any moment.

"Yes" I say a little more excited than I entended.

"Grab some room service and hang out indoors just the two of us, one last time" he says

It really is just the two of us. The rest of the cast wrapped a few days ago, leaving hero and I to do some scenes alone.

"That sounds great. Should I meet in your room or we could go to mine" I ask him

"Yours is always a bit cleaner than mine" he says and I giggle.

"That is true" I agree

"So I was thinking pizza but burgers and chips sound really nice right now" hero says barging into my room without knocking.

I should have never given him my spare key.

I'm fresh out the shower, hair drenched, body wet, wrapped in a towel.

"Hero-" I say embarrassed

"Shit. Sorry jo" he says turning around and I can't help but giggle which makes him start to laugh.

"You took so long in the shower" he says still turned around as I hurry to change

"Well sorry I'm not as quick as you. I was also shaving if you care to know" I tell him.

"Can I turn around now" he asks impatiently

"Just a minute" I say as I pull up my lounge pants and quickly throw on a shirt.

I keep my hair wrapped in a towel so it can dry and throw my glasses on. What a look.

Hero is basically wearing the same thing, sweats and a hoodie.
