Sunday morning girls woke up and just enjoyed their new bed and the room to themselves. Josie woke up first and spent about hour just watching Penelope sleep. She could watch her sleep for hours. To Josie, Penelope Park was the most beautiful sight in the world, but the jury was still out was it when she was asleep, during sex or in some casual and spontaneous moments… all she knew was that Penelope Park was the center of her universe.

''Stop staring at me you freak…''

Josie smiled…

''Good morning babe…''

''Good morning Jojo…''

Penelope cuddled up to Josei and pressed her nose to her Josie's neck.

''I am so sore from all the unboxing and fixing the room.''

''I know… So am I… But I love our little new home P. It's so us.''

''Yes, it is…''

''I don't want to leave the room.''

''We need to eat Jojo…''

''Food is overrated.''

Penelope laughed at Josie. She loved her so clingy and cuddly.

''Really? You will be hungry in less than twenty minutes and it would be a different song. Penny, can we please go to the kitchen and find something to eat… I am so hungry… Why didn't you make me go to breakfast.''

''Ok... I get it.''

Penelope held her close and smiled.

''But I love you…insane person.''

''I love you to…and I am not insane.''

''Really?''

''No, I am perfectly normal.''

''There is no such a thing as normal around here. It's just matter of level madness in all of us.''

''Maybe we can ask Hope and MG to get us some food?''

Penelope texted Hope and she replyed that they should stop having sex and get their butts down. She called Hope and she answered right away.

''I told you to come here.''

''We are not having sex…''

''That might explain the rain and the wind outside.''

''Very funny… Bring us something… Don't be bad.''

''Why? I am not your servant.''

''No, but you are our favorite puppy…''

Josie smacked Penelope on the hand. And giggled.

''Now you are not getting any food Park.''

''Do it for Josie… She loves you…. Fine, but just for her.''

Hope showed up with food and Josie let her in. She got them sandwiches and some fruit yogurt for Penelope.

'' I got something for you too.''

''Thank you Hope.''

''You didn't deserve it.''

''Oh, you soft fur ball… You love meee.''

She turned to Josie and gave her a very bitter smile.

''I will murder your girlfriend.''

''Don't… I sort of love her.''

''Sort of?''

''Ok… I really love her.''

''That's better.''

She kissed Josie and threw the yogurt cup. They spent entire day just chilling in the room. They were with Hope and after she left they just enjoyed their space and silence. They avoided the real world for the day knowing that Monday will force them to face all the school demons.

Monday morning came and girls were getting ready for classes. Josie was in the bathroom and Penelope was in front of the mirror in the room fixing her tie. She was in a plaid school skirt, white shirt and had black bow around her neck. Her hair was in a perfect bun and her makeup was done in a way that her eyes were popping. Josie got out of the bathroom dressed in a similar way. She smiled at Penelope and kissed her cheek.

''You look amazing love.''

''Thank you honey… You look amazing too…''

''Thank you P….''

Penelope checked her out and noticed that Josie was a bit nervous.

''Are you ok?''

''I am… Just… I don't know… A bit nervous.''

''It's ok babe… It will be ok…''

''I am not sure how I feel about being back.''

''I know. I am also very divided. I am happy to see my friends, but pissed that I get to see your mom and Lizzie.''

''I don't want to see Lizzie.''

''I know Jojo…''

They were ready to leave to the dining hall and have their first meal in the uniforms since they came back. Josie held Penelope's hand and all eyes were on them. Penelope was used to it, bit Josie was never comfortable with attention. There were rumors flying around them and Josie didn't want to know all the stories. She was sick of it all. They got in the line and waited for their food. MG and Hope came to them and told them what to take for them. They went to find them a place and two other girls were in charge for food and drinks. Hope and MG were happy they were back and could not believe what really happened. MG had a huge smile watching his two best friends being happy and in love again. Hope was making gagging noises, but she was happy for them. Girls showed up with bunch of food and started eating with their friends. Lizzie entered the room with few witches that were part of her entourage. She wanted to say something to MG but when she saw him sitting with Josie and Penelope she turned around and moved on from them. She went to other table with them. She and Josie exchanged looks and how Josie looked at her she didn't dare to look back at her. Penelope was a bit proud of Josie not letting Lizzie get back into her life that easily. She was aware that two of them would have to talk and settle things, but she wanted it to happen on Josie's terms and at the time she is ready to talk and say everything that is on her mind. Penelope and Hope got the trays off the table and MG and Josie followed them. It was time to go into class. It was different than before. In history of magic she had to sit with Lizzie, because teacher insisted that all students have marked seats by the alphabet. Penelope just gave her a look to let her know she is there for her and took her seat in the assigned seat. Lizzie was glad she and Josie would have to sit together. She saw it as a chance to talk. She wanted Josie to know that she was sorry. Lizzie wanted to say something to Josie, but she stopped her.

''We sit together because we have to, but at this point we have nothing to talk about. Stay away from me and don't talk to me. Am I clear?''

Lizzie just nodded and Josie continued to look at the teacher who just got up to start the lesson. It was very slow lesson if you asked Josie. She wanted to crawl out of her skin. She had so much to say to Lizzie, and at the same time she didn't want to know anything about her. After the bell, she and Penelope went out of the classroom and went to their lockers to get different books.

''Are you ok?''

Josie smiled at her.

''I will be babe.''

She pecked Josie's lips and took her books.

'' I have history now… See you soon babe.''

''See you P.''

Josie and MG went to their math class and that was better experience for her. It felt like before. She had space to deal with the subject, not Lizzie and any feelengs related to her. After class she run into Emma. She was going to her office and she saw Josie.

''Hi Jossie…''

''Hi Emma…''

''Are you ok?''

''Yes, I am fine.''

''Do you want to talk?''

''What about?''

''These past two weeks?''

''What is there to talk about?''

''In my experience when you ask a question like that, there is plenty to talk about.''

Josie just stood there looking at her.

''I don't know what to say… So many things are bubbling inside of me.''

''Ok… You know where to find me when you find the way to put at least some of the feelings into words…''

''Thank you.''

Josie saw Penelope coming their way and there was a smile on her face. Emma noticed that and noticed how Penelope smiled back. She came to them and took Josie's hand.

''You ready?''

''See you Emma…''

''See you Josei, Penelope…''

Girls left and Emma watched them. They held hands and laughed about something. They were so happy. She was so glad that they managed to find their way back to one another. She went to her office and found Rick sitting there.

''Are you ok?''

''I don't know… ''

She took a seat and waited for him to speak.

''I hurt Josie and I have no idea how to make it up to her. I didn't hid it from her from any bad reason. She is my child. I love her so much… I just didn't want to tell her some things that were not completed with all the facts.''

''I get it, but I get her too. She is really hurt.''

''I don't want her to be unhappy.''

''She is not…''

''What?''

''Watch her… She is happy… This chaos got one thing that none of us expected.''

'"What is that?''

''She blossomed… She finally broke free from Lizzie and taking care of everyone else but herself. Watch her Rick. You will fall in love with your girl even more… Just watch the woman she is becoming and you will be proud.''

''But, you said she killed someone…''

''That is the part of the coven she belongs to now. She will find her way to manage those feelings and actions . I believe in her.''

''Do you think she is ok?''

'' I think she is working on it. She has a long process of healing ahead of her.''
