Monster's Daughter (Legacies Fanfic)

Hope POV

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Josie holds me the entire way there I shake with anxiety, pain, and hate.

She slowly syphons me to try and calm me down.

Breathing starts to get harder and harder

"Hope breathe" She says with tears in her eyes

"I-I.I...I Can't" I say crying and shaking.

Lizzie drops us off at the entrance of the school so she can park

Josie carries me in the school 

I bury my head in her shoulder and cry even louder struggling to breathe

"What happened" I hear Caroline ask urgently

"I don't know there were many people I guess she hasn't been able to calm down and tell me" Josie says setting me on a bench

I tuck my legs to my chest. 

"Hope how do you feel whats wrong"  Caroline says sitting next to me on the bench which startles me a bit

"I--I-I f-eel l-l-l ike I'm dying"

Cami and Alaric come running down the hall

"Hope are you ok" Alaric asks

"Space" I say quietly 

Then I yell "SPACE" 

I try to ground myself multiple times, but I can't stop thinking about what he did to me 

"Josie" I say almost out of breathe grabbing her hand.

She sits down and holds me tight and slowly siphoning me so that I don't rip doors of there hinges or worse.

After about an hour I start to calm down enough for me to walk up the stairs to my room with a little help from Josie

"Hope" Caroline says as we start to walk away

"I'm fine" I say still shaking and crying

When we get to my room Josie helps me on my bed and Cleo puts her book down to help Josie help me

"Can I take a shower I feel sick" I say pale and shaking

"yeah hope... do you want me to come with you" She asks concerned 

I really want her with me but then I remember all the hickeys and bruises

"I'll be fine by myself" I say taking a deep breath in

"Ok" She says kissing me on forehead

I hop in the shower I take one last look at the bruises because I know they'll be gone in less than an hour, but the hickeys will linger a little bit longer.

I cry softly looking at a body I don't believe to be mine

"Hope" Josie says openning the door

"Josie I-I-I need you" I struggle 

"Whats the matter hope" She asks staring at the shower curtian.

I think of what to say but instead

 I just grab my towel and walk out of the shower revealing most of the hickeys and bruises on my body

"H-H-ope" She starts tearing up looking at the faded hickeys and bruises"Who d-did this to you"

I start bawling in her arms

Cleo knocked on the bathroom door "Are you guys ok, do you need anything"

Josie trembles before saying "Lay out a pair of pajamas for hope, then go get my mom"

Josie and I both cry for a minute then she helps me put my PJ's on and lays down in bed next to me while we watch a movie on her laptop

 A couple minutes into the movie Caroline opens the door "Hey girls, Josie can I speak with you outside" 

I cry to myself knowing that Josie is doing exactly what I would have done if it had been her. 

Its still makes me feel like curling up and dying

A couple of moments later the both walk into the room tears in there eyes

"Josie can you go get Cami" Caroline says in a soft voice.  Josie runs down the hall

and Caroline sits on the end of my bed

"Hope I-I-I................" She stutters tears falling down her face

I crawl to the front of the bed next to her and she wraps her arms around me

"I-I'm so sorry Hope" She says hugging me like a mother hugs her daughter

It makes me cry even more 

She lightly rocks me back and forth

Cami,Josie, and Alaric stand at the door.

Caroline and I hug for a couple of minutes

Then Josie runs over and hugs me tight feeling like she will never let go "OW" I say as she accidentally touches a bruise.

Cami walks over slowly as not to alert me to much

She looks at my sleeve and I nod

She rolls it up slowly revealing multiple faded hickeys and more vibrant healing bruises.

Cami rolls my sleeve back down and looks up at me "Tonight you and Josie can go to bed, tomorrow we however do need to talk, also, I am required to call your family" The last part makes my heart sink. "Then we will talk about what actions need to be taken, ok" She says trying to stay calm 

"Ok" I tearfully agree knowing that I don't have any choice

"Cleo will be sleeping in one of guest rooms tonight, if you want you two can share this one for tonight" Alaric says trying to sound like everything is okay even though you can see the hurt in his eyes.

"If you need us we'll be in the office" Caroline says trying to get rid of the lump in her throat

"Ok" Josie and I both say cuddling up in bed

I fall asleep multiple times throughout the night but wake up screaming and shaking

When I do wake up Josie wakes up and sits with me making me feel safe

I love her so much and I know she will be with me all the way
