[align=center][div style="width: 400px; text-align: justify; font-size: 12px; font-family: calibri; letter-spacing: .6px; color: #494949;"]she doesn’t tk now why she’s so upset by aiden dying. she didn’t know her and didn’t really even know alfie. joey’s watched the life run out of someone before, from her own hands, but they had all been men. men who almost preyed on josephine from the time she lost her parents, men who tried to swindle money from the van dorens, men who crossed her. not some woman just trying to live her life and do her job... sure, if she had been a threat, joey wouldn’t have a problem, but she just hadn’t been. she was probably checking on them, letting them know the group was moving on or heading back towards the lodge. joey shields her actual emotions from essentially everyone, finding it a lot easier that way, apparently that meant elijah thinks she wouldn’t care about an unjust murder but somehow expects her to be head over heels for him. hm.
sure, maybe blackmail isn’t exactly the right term, but joey isn’t interested in the semantics now, making her roll her eyes, “ fine, gaslighting, whatever. “ she scoffs, remembering how he convinced her with just a mention of his brother, “ [color=#990000]really shit if you ask me, you aren’t the only one with siblings here. “ as much as joey is unloyal to her many lovers, she gets what it’s like to lose family. she’s lost just about all of hers, just out of the eleven person immediate family, four are left. and, in her eyes, eli used that against her, manipulated her. it might not have been too big of a deal before, but now knowing who the woman was and how she’s connected, joey feels like she’s on the losing side; something she’s never been fond of and will do anything to jump ship.
then, pile a fucking baby on top of that. the wildest part, joey, notoriously repulsed by the annoying things, is keeping it in hopes that she can play the card later. even with all the complications that come along with it, it seems like her best shot at the minute. but, elijah’s reaction is making her rethink it all already.
her hands go up, almost covering her ears, but a few inches away from her head, essentially shaking, “ [color=#990000]this isn’t about you! “ joey cuts him off. “ [color=#990000]for fucks sake, this is about me and will, “ she retorts, glancing at eli, “ [color=#990000]unfortunately, but it has absolutely nothing to do with you. “ joey wants him to leave, but she’s failed to realize that elijah is under the impression that it is his child. the thought never even crossed joey’s mind, she’s been sleeping with will since the camping trip and has had many more encounters with him than the couple with eli. the chance of it being eli’s is so slim, joey just didn’t even really consider it.
