Only for You

Part 23

*3 months later; 3rd PoV*

Weeks, months went by and things were great.

Josie has decided to go straight for her career and applied to, 3 schools, where she could get her bachelor nursing degree.

Alex started hospital rounds, and got more busy with classes and the rounds every other night.

Josie kept working while doing amazing in her classes, like always.

It was now November.

Specifically, Saturday November 22nd.

Thanksgiving break had just started the day before.

And for half of it, Josie was spending it working.

Waiting on Alex to fly back to visit.

Things were going great.

*Josie's PoV*

I had just gotten back from work. It was 3:24pm.

It was raining hard as hell.

My mom dropped me off and went to work.

The twins were at our uncles house for the day.

I was getting something to drink when there was a knock on my door. I walked to the door and opened it and saw the most unexpected person.

"What are you- you're soaking wet. Get in here" I pull her inside and close the door behind her, locking it.

"Let me get you some towels, a blanket and extra clothes. Go to the restroom, it's at the end of the hallway" she doesn't say anything and walks there.

I run upstairs and grab what I need to grab and go back downstairs. I go in the restroom and see Evelyn looking at herself in the mirror.

Her eyes were red and puffy.

She was crying.

"Here. Dry and change. I'll make you some hot chocolate"

She nods and I walk out and go to the kitchen and make the hot chocolate.

"What happened Eve? You haven't said a single word ever since you got here.." I ask, after 20 minutes maybe. We were sitting down on the living room floor, as a novela played in the background.

"My ex.. Hector... he.."

"What did he do?"

"He showed up to my house earlier.. he wants me back. He said he changed, that he truly came here for me, but I'm scared. I don't know what to do Josie.." she starts crying again and I hug her and play with her hair.

"What do you think it's the best thing to do?"

"Kick his ass" she says and I laugh a little bit.

"I need to know what happened to make you guys break up, so I can help you baby" I tell her and she nods.

"It's nothing big.. he just cheated on me with two girls at the same time. Claimed that he wasn't cheating and I took him back, but then he cheated again. So I broke up with him and I've been single since then. Been single for almost two years.. it's sad"

"And you can't move on from him?"

"I thought that when we moved here, I would forget about him and probably find someone else. But I've actually like being single. But then he came back, and he made all the feelings come back too"

"Do you think he's changed?"

"No. Once a cheater always a cheater"

"Preach" she laughs and I smile.
