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.
