Different chapters... again, sorry for the long wait
Thank you for reading💕
⚜️——————————————————⚜️
Next morning.
You woke up around 6:30 in the morning.
You were still tired but you got up anyways.
You had a nightmare last night. No, it wasn't a nightmare, it was real.
You saw Ariels on the floor bleeding out, her hands where gone and she kept saying.
'I'm cold y/n' and ' why didn't you protect me?'
'My hands are gone because of you'
Getting in the shower, you turned the water all the way to the cold side.
The water felt ice cold.
You stood underneath it for a while, just crying again.
Your weeping is what filled the bathroom along with the running water.
After the shower, you finally got dressed.
Looking at the time.
It was 7:54.
You calmly got up and decided to go to his office a little early.
Knocking on the door gently, Jotaro opened the door, he was in black shirt and gray sweat pants.
"Y/n, you're 30 minutes early" he said.
"I've been awake since 5 in the morning.." you said.
"You look tired, are you sure you don't want to rest a little longer?" He asked.
"I can't sleep, I was up till 3am..." you said as you walked in his room.
"Are you sure you don't want to rest? You hardly got 2 hours of sleep" he said closing the door behind you.
"Mr.Kujo! How can I sleep? When all I see is her on the floor bleeding, saying that it's my fault.. I couldn't protect her..." you said.
You felt sad but you didn't cry, you didn't like crying in front of people. It made you feel weak.
Jotaro didn't say anything, He sighed and spoke again.
" I know how it feels, it just makes you wish you could go back in time... so you can save them.. or at least see them one last time" he said with a hand on your metal shoulder.
You then looked up at him. You can tell he wasn't just talking about you, he did understand how you felt.
"The 50 day trip.." you said quietly.
"You became friends with a boy, Noriaki right?" You asked.
"Noriaki Kakyoin, he was a good friend of mine.. I lost him in the final battle with DIO" you heard Jotaro.
You can tell he's hurt, though you didn't feel pain, you can feel the pressure of the tight grip he had on your metal shoulder.
Jotaro didn't have his usual clothing on, so he didn't have his iconic hat.
You can see his face, his eyes.
His teal colored eyes became more vibrant as he's eyes turned red.
With a tear felling from his cheek you where quick to react and hugged him.
"You still miss them" you said softly.
"Everyday... sometimes I get nightmares about them too... I just hope, they knew that I liked spending time with them" he said.
"I bet there watching over you" you told him.
That made jotaro brake a little more.
He dropped to his knees to hug you too. You wrapped your arms around his neck.
The both of you started to cry into each other's arms.
For the first time, you felt closer to jotaro. This time he didn't feel like just a mentor or just someone who just took care of you like a babysitter.
He felt like family, like a father.
"Do you really think they are watching over us?" You said as your voice cracked.
The both of you pulled away from the hug.
"I do..." he said.
"You know, I see him in you" he said.
As you whipped away a tear you spoke again.
"You do?"
He nodded.
"In your eyes, I can see the same spark as your father had" he said.
You smiled as tears streamed down your cheek.
Jotaro whipped them away as he then planted a kiss on your forehead.
"I promised myself that I would help to take care of you for Avdol.. and I plan on keeping that promise" he said.
You hugged him one last time.
"Thank you Jotaro" you said as you kissed his cheek softly.
You felt like the both of you just made a stronger bond.
As you whipped away your tears, he did the same. It was back to business.
"So y/n, Remember the boy Shigechi? " he said.
"Yeah.."
"Well, it seems that he died.. he encountered with the killer as well, the same day your friend lost her hand" he said with a deep breath.
"It's possible that Ariels saw him too, but it's clear she managed to escape some how"
You where surprised to hear, shigechi is dead? You only wondered how Josuke and Okuyasu where handling it.
"Shigechi had a message before he died" he said.
"What do you mean?" You asked.
Soon, Jotaro pulled out a button from his desk.
It was in a plastic bag.
"Just before he died, he brought this to Josuke" he said.
You held the button in your hands. You where going to find this guy, and make him pay.
"I want you to do your research on this, Im sure you know what your job is" he said.
"Yes sir... I'm going to get that bastard" you said as you held the button tightly.
"Good luck out there, be safe" he said as he walked back to his desk and worked on his paperwork.
"Oh, and one more thing... I want you to visit someone first"
———
You went to your room and packed a small (fav/c) backpack.
You packed Jotaro's map of Morioh and your small notepad along with Joseph's old Walkman, you had a feeling it was going to be a long day.
Grabbing your cellphone you went out the door.
"Ok... now... where's that shop?" You questioned as you opened the map.
As you checked the detection, you put in the earbuds and played the Walkman.
-long walk-
With a hand in your pocket, you looked up at a building with a big sign.
"Cinderella... huh" you asked yourself as you walked inside.
You knocked on the doors as you slowly entered.
"Hello? Is anyone here?" You asked out loud.
"Uh.. I was sent here by Mr.Kujo.. he told me that you where a stand user"
No one was around to answer you. You wondered if she was here at all.
Soon you heard a woman's voice.
"Phew, I had a long day today, it was about time someone entered" she said.
You saw a woman dresses in pink that brought out her blue eyes. She had brown hair as she held it back with a ponytail.
"Hello, names y/n Mohammed... Mr.Kujo sent me here to meet you" you told her.
"Is that so? Names Aya"she said.
"Phew... your so young, so pretty... but you'll never find love with that body" she said.
"What?" You asked. Soon aya made you sit in front of a camera.
"The shape of your eyes, eyebrows and lips are no good" she said as she pulled up a monitor with your face now on it.
"Your eyes are too dark, there's not enough light to them, no fire" she said.
"Your lips, Japanese men like woman small, your lips need to be smaller and your eyes need to be bigger" she said
"Oh and your body, you must be America right?" She asked.
"Yes, I'm from New York" you told her.
"Phew, no good, no good... Japanese men like skinny girls with a small waist, you need to be off that America diet! your skin should be lighter" she started pointing out.
"Hey! Woah! Ok first of all! My skin is fine... my body is fine! Sure I look bigger compared to other girls in school but that's just how I am!" You said.
"Phew" she said as she looked at your face on the monitor.
"Your eyes, they always look so angry... so sad... you happen to be in love with a Japanese boy are you not?" She asked.
You blushed.
"No.. I- don't know why you say that" you said.
"Your eyes, as dark as they are, they tell a story... you faced a lot of things at a young age haven't you?" She asked.
You ignored her.
"Sorry.. I shouldn't have asked... what about that boy?" She asked.
"What about him?" You said.
"I can help you with love with him.." she said.
You hesitated.
"You know you like him, you just keep denying it" said aya.
"It's not denying if I really don't have feelings for him" you said with an arms crossed.
Aya looked you deeply in your eyes.
"Are you sure??"
You really didn't want to admit, but you where still a little sensitive from this morning.
"Fine... maybe I do" you said.
She smiled.
"Just lay down and relax" she said. You watched her stand appear behind her.
You took a deep breath and closed your eyes.
Within seconds you had a completely different look.
You were surprised by the huge change.
Before After
(She Looking a little crusty but you get the idea also Sorry if this isn't you)
"I can't believe this..." you said to yourself.
"I know, I'm amazing aren't I?" Said aya.
"Well... that too, but I can't believe I'm actually doing this... like why am I doing this? I'm supposed to meet you not get a boyfriend" you said looking in a mirror.
"Phew.. you never let good things happen, do you?" She asked with a hand on her cheek.
"What dose that mean?" You asked.
"I mean I just helped you out with your little love problem and now that it's fixed you want to back out?" She said.
"What's the point?... I'm not good enough" you said to yourself.
"Trust me y/n... you deserve it more than anyone" she said.
"Just think of me as your godmother, like in the story cinderella" she said.
——-
You where outside, standing in front of a glass window and just seeing your reflection.
You touched your eyes and lips.
"Can't believe I'm actually doing this..." you said quietly.
"I shouldn't be doing this, I should be looking for that guy that hurt Ariels.."
Just as you where about to call it quites.
You saw a boy surrounded in a group of girls.
Looking closer you see that it's Josuke.
"Shit!" You said.
You quickly looked away from him, not wanting him to see you.
As you put a hand over your face, you tried to walk away from him.
You felt eyes on you.
"Y/n!" You heard his voice.
"Fuck.." you said quietly.
You turned around to face him.
As you did, you can tell he hesitated to walk closer to you.
His face had a light blush.
"How did you know it was me?" You said.
"I- Uh.. your fashion style and your the only person I know that would wear gloves on a hot day" said Josuke.
"Oh.. " you said
"So... I didn't see you at school today.." he said.
"Yeah.. Jotaro told me not to.. he has me working on something" you answered.
"Come on Josuke! Let's go!" Said a girl as he hugged Josukes arm.
"Yeah, just leave the America delinquent alone, you have better stuff to do than talking to her" another girl said.
You sighed deeply.
"Well, have fun Josuke" you said as you walked away.
Walking the opposite direction from him.
You knew this wasn't going to work, even if you did admit you liked him he's never going to like you back.
Soon you felt someone grab your shoulder. You looked back to see Josuke.
You see that he left the girls behind to be with you.
"Do you... want to go to a cafe that's near by? Have you eaten yet?" He asked.
You smiled softly.
"No, I haven't eaten anything since this morning" you said.
"Wow, how are you not hungry? Come on, my treat" he said.
You agreed.
As the both of you walked side by side, the walk to the cafe was quite.
The both of you didn't talk.
It was awkward almost.
Getting to the cafe, you sat down and sat your bag aside.
"I- I'll order for us.. what do you want?" he asked.
"Uh, i don't know, I haven't been here.. what do you recommend?" You asked.
"Oh, well, Koichi came here with Yukako, she really likes this one drink and it's pretty much a girls favorite" he said.
"Oh, well I'll give it a try" you said with a smile.
Josuke blushes as he smiled back.
As you waited, you sat there wondering if you should be doing this.
After a few minutes Josuke came out with two milkshakes.
"I hope you like it, it's banana with cinnamon" he said as he gave you your cup.
You thanked him as you took a sip.
(Sorry if you don't like banana or allergic to cinnamon)
"Woah, I can see why it's a girl's favorite" you said taking another sip.
"This is really good! What the hell? It's like diamond is a girl's best friend, this is amazing!" You said almost finishing it.
"I know right? Not going to be surprised if all the girls come here just for this drink" he said.
The both of you chuckled.
Soon the table fell silent.
It was awkward between you two.
"I heard what happened with your friend.. I'm really sorry to hear that" said Josuke breaking the silence.
"So am I.. he was a good kid, can't imagine how Okuyasu feels like right now" you answered.
He chuckled.
"I'm pretty sure you do know how it feels, but he's taking it pretty hard"
"Yeah.." you said.
The table fell silent once again. Making things a little awkward.
You bit on your lower lip and decided to brake it.
"So what was-"
"You're from-"
You and Josuke spoke at the same time.
"Uh- you can go"
"Uuh- g-go ahead"
"No it's fine-"
"Please go head-"
"Josuke!"
"Y/n!"
"Jinx's!"
"Jinx's!"
"Double jinx's!"
"JUST SPEAK!"
The both of you stopped talking, you stared at each other waiting for someone to talk.
As you saw he wasn't going to, you started to talk again.
"So what was-"
"so You're from-"
You spoke over each other again
"STOP TALKING" the both of you yelled.
You felt frustration and you just wanted to hit him for it.
You took a very deep breath in and out.
You put a hand over Josukes mouth to stop him from talking over you.
"What was it like for you in school? Before all of this" you asked him.
As you slowly removed your hand from his mouth he spoke.
"School? Well, I was bit of a loner really" he said.
You laughed.
"Yeah, like that's true" you said.
"No really, I didn't have many friends, sure I was popular with the girls, but they aren't my friends, they can't see my stand, so I felt isolated from everybody" he said.
At first you didn't believe him, but then you really started to listen.
You actually found it interesting.
Josuke looked into your eyes and blushed a little.
"So.. you look different today.. did you do something with your hair?" He said.
"Oh! You noticed?? Honestly, it's just my eyes really-" you stopped talking after saying that.
'Shit, Why did I say that? Now I have to say that I went to Aya' you thought.
"Actually, yeah, I can see that now... your eyes look more open.. is it because you're wearing mascara?" He asked.
'I'm saved!'
"Yes! That's exactly it! You know it's a new mascara" you said chuckling nervously.
"I got it back in when I was in America, it's apparently the 'London look'" you said sarcastically.
You nervously drank your milkshake.
"Really? Well it dose bring out your eyes more, you even look less angry! though I don't think you need makeup" said Josuke.
"You look pretty without it, I think it's cute you look angry" he said out loud.
The both of your faces turned red after that comment.
"Wait!- I didn't- I mean I did! But like-" he was stuttering So much.
"Let's talk about something else" you said still blushing a lot.
"Yeah.. good idea"
As the table feel silent once again, you finished your drink.
"So.. you're from America right? What part?" Josuke asked.
"New York, I live pretty close to your father" you answered.
"Really? Dose your father like Mr. Joestar? Dose he respect gramps?" Josuke asked.
"Yeah, he'd give anything for him" you said.
"Why do you call your father that? You called him by his last name or just gramps.. he's your father" you said.
"Yeah... but he wasn't even apart of my life until now, it's not right to call a total stranger your father" he said as he drank his milkshake.
"Well it's not like he had a choice, he did what he had too" you said.
"Yeah, right.. like he 'had too' hook up with my mom and leave her alone with a baby to care for" he said.
"But at least he came back! Right? Would you have rather him not come back at all?" You started to argue.
"Well maybe we would've been better if he didn't come back at all! We didn't need him then we don't need him now!" He said.
You slammed your hand on the table.
"Josuke! He returned! Your father gathered enough strength to fight his way to get to you! How are you not happy he's here now?!"
You quickly realized what you did, you quickly calmed down.
"Sorry, but I respect your father, he's very kind, stupid at point and very very VERY careless, but he means well.. you remind me of him at points" you said.
"Mmh... what about your dad?" He asked.
"What about him?"
"Is he here?" He asked.
"No.."
"What is he like?" He asked.
"Well, he's Egyptian, goes by the name Mohammed Avdol, and he's a great man and I look up to him everyday" you said.
You looked up at the sky, you smiled softly just the thought of him.
"He was so responsible, smart, strong, loyal, and very brave.. I want to be just like him" you said softly.
"That's sweet" he said.
You cleared your throat.
"Uh, anyways, I think it's time for me to go.." you said.
As you grabbed your backpack, you got up.
"Thank your for the drink, I had fun" you said with a smile.
"Wait!" He said.
You felt a strong grip on your arm, making turn back to face him.
"I brought you here in the first place was because-" he seemed to chock on his words. Almost like he's thinking of how to say it.
"I-I'm Sorry how i acted when we first meet.. sorry for being rude" he said.
You smiled.
"It's fine, no worries.. I was rude too so I'm sorry as well" you said.
Josuke smiled, but he never let go of your arm.
"Uh, Josuke... I gotta go" you said softly.
"Oh! Right" he said as he rubbed the back of he's neck.
"Well, see ya around" you told him.
You waved goodbye

Again, I'm sorry for the long wait, hopefully I kinda fixed the huge cluster I had.
Next few chapters will be published a LOT sooner!
Praying that the story will be a lot smoother, and there will be just one problem in the story that will make you say
"Why didn't he just do that?"
Because I really want to do this thing and I think it would be cool at the moment🥺
