Wonder

Chapter 3

Hope's p.o.v
It's the night before the musical premieres. All my friends are nervous, I haven't seen Josie in a while because she's been so busy with this stupid musical. Landon just walks into my room without knocking. "Hope I need to show you this song." I roll my eyes at him. I put down my painting supplies and grab the music sheet. As I'm reading it, I feel nothing but anger.
"You used the letter my dad wrote me, that I let you read, as lyrics?" "Is that bad?" I give him that no shit look. "Okay that's bad. But it's beautiful and poetic." Me and him argue about how wrong it was to use my dad's letter for a song. "Hope this song is so perfect for you. You know the dances cause of Josie, you can play Elena last minute." I slap him. He hold his cheek shocked. "You don't get to take this away from her. She's worked too hard for this." He walks out of my room.

It's an hour before the musical and I wasn't in a good mood to watch it. A letter comes flying to me from the fireplace. It's a letter for Lizzie, I recognize the hand writing. I change and head downstairs to the auditorium. I sneak backstage to find the twins. Josie sees me and gets really excited. I smile at the brunette while she gets her makeup done. I look around for the blonde twin, I spot her talking to Jed and Caleb. I walk over to the trio, I tap on the blonde's shoulder. "Mikaelson. Surprised to see you here." I shrug my shoulders at her. "I decided to get off my ass, stop feeling sorry for myself and come support my friends." She looks shocked. "Hope Mikaelson, are you finally becoming a normal person?" I laugh at her. "I'm kidding Lizzie, I came to give you this. I'm pretty sure it's from your mom." I hand her the letter. "Thank you." She says hugging me. I wish the trio good luck and walk over to the girl who's constantly on my mind. "It's the star of the show." Jo blushes. "Are you going to stay for the whole show?" She looks at me with those big beautiful brown eyes. How can I say no to her? "Yeah I will. Just for you though," I lean a little closer to her "I don't really like going to these things." We're very close to kissing when he had to ruin everything. "Hope, you came!" He leans forward like he wants to hug me but stops himself.
I move away from Josie a little bit, "Yeah I came to support the super squad." He smiles sadly. "5 minutes until the show starts." One of the teachers says over the intercom. Landon gets pulled away by Jade leaving me and Jo to finish our conversation. "I should probably finish getting ready." Josie says getting up from her chair. I nod moving out of her way. We stand there awkwardly, none of us knowing what to say. "I like you!" We both say at the same time. I look around to see who's paying attention to us and thankfully no one. I go in for a kiss and I'm so happy she kisses me back. "2 minutes!" Jo pulls away fast. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cut it short it's just-" Jo starts rambling before I cut her off. "Jo it's okay. I understand." I give her kiss before wishing her luck. She walks away with the biggest smile, I haven't seen her smile like that in a while. I stand on the other side of the stage watching all my friends perform.

Jo kills it as usual and I couldn't be more prouder.

I knew Caleb had some killer vocals but damn didn't know Jed can sing too. Looks like the super squad has many hidden talents. After the song, Jo runs up to me. "So what do you think so far?" I hug her. "You're doing amazing Jo, I'm really proud of you. Also that little dance you did was really hot." She blushes. "I don't know what you've done with Hope Mikaelson but I'm really like this one." I smile at her, "Things change Jo." Lizzie and Jo go back on stage along with Jed and I'm kinda jealous I didn't go out for Stefan or Damon cause I could be spending more time with Josie rn.
