Hope pov

Hope was up all night she didn't get up she just laid there quietly cry from what Landon did to her she hurt from what Landon did but the pain between her thighs was still there a little.

there was a knock at the door but Hope didn't say anything but there was a weight on the bed she turned around to see aunt bex "hey love" Aunty be said to me "why" I said crying she was teasing her arm and I flinched I didn't know why I know she would never hurt me in any way. The look on her face was sadness I felt bad because I didn't want to make her sad. I sat up and she did to "where is Josette" I asked "she is getting breakfast for you and her but she will be back soon" when she said that she left I got scared because Landon said if anyone found out what he bid to me that he will hurt her in any way he can I got out of bed and put on my slippers and walked out the door when I did I saw my whole family well minus my mom and dads and uncle Elijah.

When they saw me I walked away before they could say anything. When I was down in the cafeteria I saw Josette I ran to her and hugged her she hugged me back I started to cry "shh it's okay I am here" she said to me "don't leave me okay I can't lose anyone else I love" I say to her "I won't leave I love you to much to" she said to me all of a sudden we were in her room I let go of the hug and went to the bed Josette joined me and we cuddled.

I was cuddling Hope until she fell asleep when my mom walked in my room and saw me and Hope cuddling "is she asleep" she asked I nodded "I know this is hard for her but we need a statement so Landon can go  to jail for rape" she said to me looking me in the eye "I'll do it" Hope said getting up "you can wait for a little while you don't have to do at this second" I said to her putting my arm on her shoulders ridding my thumb in circle motion she smiled at me "I want to get it over with" with that she got up and walked out of the room

We were in my dad's office my dad and hopes uncle Kol wasn't in there because we wanted Hope to be comfortable with just her aunt Freya and Rebekah and my mom and me in the room. I and Hope sat in front of the desk my mom was behind the desk and hopes aunts were behind us on the couch "whenever your ready Hope" Hope nodded at my mom after she said that she opened her mouth but nothing came out.

I put my hand on top of hers and she looked at me and I nodded "so what happened was Landon knocked at my door and I asked him what he wanted and I walked out of my room and she said he was sorry" she stopped mom had a confused look on her voice and so did hopes aunt "what was he sorry for Hope if you don't mind me asking" my mom said " he he hit me but it was only two times I thought it was my fault that he did that that I was doing something wrong but it was him and I wish I saw that sooner" my mom nodded and Hope continue her story "so when he said sorry he gave me a milkshake and I drank only a little bit of it and he kissed me and I tried to pull away but it was like glue was on our lips and I was stuck and I thinks that's when Josette saw he kissed me and thought I was kissing him but I wasn't" that's when she looked at me I nodded to show her that I believed her "and when Josette walked away that's when I passed out and when I woke up.. he was....on top of me and I begged him to stop because he was hurting me but he wouldn't" Hope was crying at this point but she continued away "and he would do that to me every night for two weeks but I was to weak to do anything he had this needles he would stick into me and I would pass out and wake up again with him on top of me telling me to shut up and put his hand on my mouth I would scream and scream and tell him he was hurting when he would" she stopped and stood up " is that enough" she said my mom nodded with tears in her eye you aunts were crying anyway Hope walked out and I followed her.
