I opened the door to see Hope
J:" h-hey."
H:" hi. Can-can I come in?"
J:" uh, yeah, sure."
I moved aside to let her in. When she came in she sat on my bed. I went and sat next to her.
H:" you know, I used to know you. I knew everything about you. I knew when you were lying. I knew when you weren't okay, even though you said that you were. I knew when you weren't having fun even though you acted like you were. I knew what made you really mad. And-and now, I don't know anything about you. And it's all my fault-"
J:" it's not your fault-"
H:" yeah, it is. If I didn't push you away, we would still be close. You wouldn't have left. I would still know you. And you wouldn't be a complete stranger to me." A couple tears rolled down Hope's cheeks.
J:" then let's change that." I wiped her tears away. J:" I'll tell you everything about me, I'll even tell you what I do when I lie. And my mom is the only person who knows what I do." I grabbed her hand. J:" i giggle when I lie."
She chuckled and looked down
H:" I guess that's better than what you used to do."
I lifted her chin up so that we could make eye contact.
J:" I'm sorry for leaving, Hope. I now know that I shouldn't have. And that's the biggest mistake of my life. I promise I will never leave you. Ever."
Hope smiled
J:" I will be there for your highs and lows. No matter what happens, I will be here, with you, until I take my last breath."
H:" always and forever?" She chuckled and raised an eyebrow.
J:" always and forever."
I hugged her and she hugged me back.
J:" okay, let's get to know each other better." I broke our hug
H:" before anything, how did it feel like to travel the world?"
J:" good, but after a while it got kinda tiring. It was really fun though. I got to see a lot of cool places. And I tried a lot of different types of food."
H:" What was your favorite place you went to?"
J:" Europa."
We talked about ourselves for a while.
H:" hey, do you remember when we used to sneak out to the woods and we'd tell each other scary stories, and you'd always get scared, even though I told you that they weren't real."
J:" yeah."
H:" this one time I told you one, which was obvious not real, but you got so scared you ran screaming all the way to the school.
J:" we both go in to much trouble. And that was the last time we snuck out."
H:" last time you snuck out. I still went there alone. 'Cause if I took you, you'd probably get scared at nothing."
J:" hey! I was a kid. Geez."
H:" so was I. Yet, I didn't get that scared. I mean, you ran so fast that not even I could catch up to you. I think you might've been the flash in that moment."
J:" i didn't even know that was you. I thought some was chasing me, so that they could kill me. Honestly not my fault."
H:" do you still get scared easily?"
J:" nope."
She nodded and stay quiet. We stayed silent for a while. I was confused why she stopped talking.
H:" Josie, don't look now, but there's something in your closet." She whispered to me.
J:" stop lying. I know what you're doing." I whispered back.
H:" I'm not lying, Josie. Go check. Get up slowly."
I rolled my eyes and got up. I walked towards my closet.
H:" ahhh!"
J:" AHHH!"
Hope started laughing so hard she fell back on my bed.
J:" Hope! I hate you."
That made her laugh even harder. I went and sat on my bed.
J:" shut up."
She sat up and wiped her tears.
H:" I'm sorry, I had to. The way you looked at me when I yelled was priceless." She laughed again
J:" you're mean."
H:" hey! You said that you didn't get scared easily anymore!"
J:" and you actually believed me? I will forever get scared easily. I'm cursed."
H:" oh, this is gonna be fun." She smirked.
J:" Hope!" I grabbed a pillow and throw it at her.
The pillow hit her I the face.
H:" Josette, Olivia, Saltzman, you did not."
J:" i did. Whatcha gonna do 'bout it?"
She grabbed the pillow and throw it at me.
J:" asshole."
H:" you started it. Don't forget that."
J:" yeah, well, I didn't think you were gonna do anything."
H:" I wasn't just gonna let you get away with that. That's not how I work."
J:" then how do you work?"
H:" when someone hits me, I hit them back harder."
J:" so basically when something bad happens to you, you do the same thing to the person who did it, but worse?"
H:" yep."
J:" okay then, remind me to never get on your bad side."
H:" okay."
J: weird question, have you been in a relationship since Landon broke up with you?"
H:" nope. I looked for someone, but no one seemed right. About earlier, did you actually mean the thing about you being happy single?"
J:" yeah."
We talked for a little while more until our moment was interrupted by a knock. I got up and went to see who it was.
J:" Jade?"
Ja:" Josie?"
J:" w-what are you doing here?"
Ja:" i still go here. I heard that someone was moving in to this dorm, so I wanted to say hi."
J:" well, hi?"
Ja:" hey."
I looked at Hope.
H:" I should probably get going. It's getting late anyway. Goodnight and see you tomorrow, Josie."
J:" goodnight. I'll talk to you tomorrow."
Hope left and I looked at Jade
J:" do you wanna come in?"
Ja:" i don't want to bother you."
J:" you won't bother me. I promise."
Ja:" okay."
I went to sit on my bed and she came in and closed the door. She came and sat next to me.
