[align=center][div style="width: 400px; text-align: justify; font-size: 12px; font-family: calibri; letter-spacing: .6px; color: #494949;"]joey’s eyebrows scrunch together and eyes narrow when will starts to speak. she doesn’t even want to give him the luxury, she wants to storm out and refuse to listen to anything he has to say, however, the debilitating fear of being stuck caring for an infant on her own. she knows she would always have her siblings, however, she wants to be able to forget about it sometimes, leaving it with william when she wants. plus, she feels little sympathy for him, no matter what things he complained about, joey knows she’s the one getting the short end of the deal. losing her reputation, gaining heaps of expectations where he could do the bare minimum and be praised simply because he’s the guy, losing her own body. that being said, josephine’s feet are stuck in their place; even if she wanted to move, she doesn’t think she would be able to. even when he moves closer to her, she can’t move, she’s just able to move her upper body back, just trying to keep some distance between them.
“ i mean, where else am i gonna go? “ paired with a laugh makes the harshness in her face drop and her mouth opens a little, “ why is that funny? “ joey questions in a shaky voice, a sick feeling twisting in her stomach. it felt like some foreshadowing to a plan he’s hatching up in his head. a tear rolls out of one of her eyes and is shortly followed by one from her second eye. she closes her eyes tightly to try and stop it, almost not even hearing will pleading with her to stop crying. with his hand moving closer to his face, joey’s eyes flutter open and pulls her head back an inch or so, hand gently meeting his wrist to try and push his hand away, but the strength just doesn’t manifest. and she wouldn’t admit it, but the touch is nice, which only hate it more and feel worse. “ [color=#990000]a lot for you? “ she raises her eyebrow, “ [color=#990000]what about for me? “ she retorts, letting out a labored breath. again, she’s failing to see how this is so tough for him. but she finally looks him in his eyes, a deep frown on her face and green eyes still watery, not responding to his attempts. she sighs when will opens his arms and her head rolls back, clearly still upset.
joey lets him pull her in, her shoulders up and forward as the smallest form of protest. however, after a few moments, she relaxes and rests her forehead against his chest, a couple tears leaving her eyes again. once will kisses her head, she turns her head to her cheek against him, “ [color=#990000]okay, “ she mumbles, not even sure what she’s agreeing to. her head just hurts and she feels kind of nauseous. joey just doesn’t feel like she’s able to get away. again, he is comforting in the moment, it’s a new feeling, for sure, something she would normally refusing. the mushy gushy stuff usually repulses her and the fact that it doesn’t in this moment is relatively upsetting to her. it has to be the thing growing in her, right? ...right?
with a final sniffle, joey wipes her face and forces a laugh that comes out airy and uneven. god, how’d she let herself get to this point? she feels incredibly embarassed, especially with how she thought she was doing well until the loss of her temper. “ [color=#990000]fuck, i really liked what we had going, “ she tries to just play it off, play it cool, ya know. she closes her eyes again, turning her head to hide her face in his chest. maybe this is her new life, maybe this is her best bet, even thought she never ever ever would have imagined or wished this, maybe it’s meant to work out this way. but, if that’s it, why does she feel so uneasy.
