Now I bet you're all wondering what happened to Claudia and that dashing young man. Well they did finally get married and in fact they did come back to the same neighborhood to raise their family. But no one knew about them. They stayed hidden so Josephia wouldn't know. However, once in a while a young woman with hair of gold could be seen in the upstairs window gazing down at her old friend's house, for Claudia and Josephia had been close. It was only after Dusty came into their lives that things broke up.
Claudia vowed one day that she would go back though. The only question was "When?" and "How?".
One day, as Claudia was sitting upstairs as usual, she saw Josephia and her heart jumped, for Josephia was no longer acting like a princess. Instead she was serving others. Claudia couldn't be leave it. How could this have happened? Was it because of her that Josephia had suddenly changed?
It was in that moment that Claudia decided that it was time, so she quickly got dressed in a pair of jeans and faded T-shirt and left the safety of her house to find Josephia. When she found Josephia, it wasn't pretty for Josephia was on her front porch, crying.
At that moment Claudia couldn't contain herself. She immediately ran over to Josephia and embraced her saying, "Oh Josephia, I've missed you so much. What's happened to you?"
Josephia looked up from her lap, puzzled for a minute at who this strange lady was.
Claudia, noticing that Josephia didn't recognize her, said, "It's me, Claudia".
At that instant, Josephia said, "What are you doing here. All you did was take a man away from me and leave me heartbroken. You are not my friend anymore. Get out of here!"
Claudia couldn't believe what she was hearing. She said, calmly, "You have plenty of men. Why can't anyone else be as happy as you? Besides, Dusty never loved you. He loves me."
"That's a big lie." screamed Josephia, "Of course he loved me. Everyone loves me. You stole him and if you don't get of my property in five minutes, I'll have you arrested."
"I can't believe what I'm hearing." cried Claudia, "We used to be so close before this happened. I'll leave but if you ever want to forgive and forget, here's my phone number, Call me!" With that said, Claudia left, leaving Josephia speechless.
