The Fairiomachy: Chapter 6

Jessica's P.O.V

I was a little worried about my friend, Josh. He had not come from the woods in what I could say 3 weeks now.

I wanted to cry, but that would be Josh's personality.

Once again, I walked into the woods, and this time something surprises me.

I saw Josh with a girl that had black hair and black eyes. I could tell that she is Josh's previous girlfriend, but somehow abandoned him.

I saw Josh crying on her shirt. "Josh? What happened?"

The girl that is holding him let him go, and he collapsed to the ground, sobbing.

Josh looked absolutely terrible. His face were red from crying so much. I might have guessed he had been crying for 3 weeks straight because this is the most miserable form Josh took.

I lift him with one hand and gave him a big hug. His body trembled as I hugged him.

"Josh, it's okay." I looked him in the eyes. His crying had now receded. "You have to prepare for the coming war."

Josh nodded and started to wipe his face. I could tell he had been going through a very hard time in his prison. I pitied him so much.

Meanwhile, I put him in his bed and walked out of Hyperion's cabin.
