A dreaded choice Hosie and Hizzie

Why

Telling Lizzie about me was a tactical decision, no other reason. If i needed someone to back me or give me an alliby for some reason, using her would be a smart decision.

I'm just hoping my secret... well stays secret.

But seeing Lizzie even devote an ounce of care into what i was, and even search through books to find it, made me feel a little guilty about how i felt about it.

I checked my phone to hopefully zone me out of it all, seeing the time was 11, i didn't know what to do with myself... Josie was out, Lizzie was...

Almost like clockwork, Lizzie comes storming back into the room.

"What are you doing now" I ask her, as she stands there.

She regathers her breath almost like she had run here.

"You're related to Rebekah fucking Mikaelson and you didn't tell me sooner?" Lizzie gasps.

Why was it a big deal.

"You look nothing like her by the way..." Lizzie added.

"Why does that matter, i just told you i'm the only one of my kind, and what you take from that is my aunt?" I giggle.

"She was my first text book crush... oh and the tribrid thing is cool too, its just i'm a siphon... they're rare too, so get off your high horse Marsha-... i mean Mikaelson" Lizzie teased.

"Touche" I agree with her.

"I liked the nickname Marshall... now it'll have to change, Wait who knows?" The blonde uttered.

"Just you" I explained, seeing her face instantly light up.

"Not even Josie?" Lizzie enquired.

"Not even Josie" I repeat.

"I must be really special then" The blonde teases, taking a step forward towards me, smirk plastered on her face smugly.

"yeah you are" I suprise myself as my face turns a bright red, catching myself getting flustered once more.

"You know.. you didn't have to pick my sister, i've been here this entire time" Lizzie once again says seductively, Now leaning over and tracing her hand through my hair.

"Yeah" I catch myself off guard, now completely entranced by the siphon.

"Nobody has to know" The girls voice whispers into my ear, making my whole body shiver.

I stay silent, her hand still tracing through my hair.

Her whole body shifts, in sync with mine as i'm pushed backwards towards the wall.

Why the hell did i feel intimidated over Lizzie, i could never get my mind over it... she was so fucking entoxicating and it took every muscle in my body to stop myself.

"Our little secret" Lizzie whispered, once again making my entire body shiver.

"I... I can't" i declare back.

"We don't tell her... I know i've been living in your mind rent free over the past couple days, just allow it to happen" Lizzie teases in a soft voice.

This hit a nerve, how dare she say i'd be thinking about her?... I hadn't had i? Even if i did... it wasn't her business at all.

"Yeah but we all aren't selfish trainwrecks like you Lizzie, i don't hurt people for the sake of it" I practically yell in defence, as i push her away and storm out the room.

I felt awful instantly after... i didn't mean it at all, she just hit a nerve, i already felt guilty over the feelings i felt towards her... Lizzie repeating them made it all too real.

I was angry... yet upset, why wouldn't she just leave me alone... she knew i was with Josie, why couldn't she respect that.

Just as i think i'm free from anyone, A familiar voice catches me off guard.

"Hey" Josie's soft voice snaps me out of the transe like state.

"Hey" I sigh back... something clearly wrong... i was stressed as fuck, i had to handle all that shit when i got back.

"Whats up" Josie steps infront of me, throwing her arms over my neck, drawing me into a hug... that helped more than anyone could imagine.

"Oh nothing, just got in an argument with Lizzie" I blurt out.

"What happened" Josie enquires.

I consider for a split second to tell her, but i don't want to come between the Saltzmans already fractured bond.

"Oh she just well- she stole my umm.. stole my toothbrush, but it was a really nice toothbrush" I lie through my teeth.

"Okay... Are you sure?" Josie questions unconvinced.

"Yeah... Anyway... enough about me, how was your meeting thing?" I change the subject swiftly.

"Same old same old... boring as hell, wait i forgot to ask, are you free tonight?" Josie squeals, remembering her question.

"Yeah why" I reply back.

"Well... i heard theres a party at the treehouse... at about 7 i think" Josie explains, i'd love to go to a party with her.

"I'd be down, i'll swing by your dorm at 6.30 ish?" I reassure her, feeling so guilty about Lizzie, she didn't deserve what i said to her... i had to go apologise.

"i'll see you then" Josie smiles, continuing back to her dorm.

I had to speak to Lizzie, i felt awful.
