A dreaded choice Hosie and Hizzie

I don't care

I sit there, waiting desperately for her to wake up.

Alot of this was all my fault, if i hadn't got mad over Lizzie, my eyes wouldn't have changed... meaning Josie wouldn't have seen that.

Just as i begin to get lost in my thoughts, Lizzie's upper body sits up in one swift motion as she gasps for air.

"Hey" I greet her softly.

"Hey" Lizzie turns to face me.

"Are you okay" She checks me up and down, before pulling me into a soft hug.

"One of the perks of being a tribrid i guess" I laugh it off, not mentioning that it hurt like a bitch... i felt my bones break atleast twice.

"I'm so sorry" Lizzie apologises.

"Don't be... this is all my fault. I shouldn't have involved you... this is what i mean when i say people i care about get hurt" I reassure her.

"This wasn't you Hope... this was Josie, When i say she's not all sunshine and rainbows this is what i mean, she knew what she was doing" Lizzie explains.

The room goes deathly silent, she was exhausted.

"Lets get you to bed" I mention to her, as i pull her up and guide her to my bed, it was closer and i wouldn't mind.

"Hope" Lizzie exhaustedly replies.

"Yeah" I respond, tucking her in.

"You're not scared of me are you?" Lizzie pleads, looking almost destroyed that she had to ask that question.

"For what" I reply.

"The thing Josie said... about me, well... flipping out" Lizzie asks.

"You didn't do anything wrong, It would be hypocritical for me to say i was... i've done god awful things, for me that would've been mild" I begin to smile, to which one is returned.

"Besides... you weren't scared of me, even when you didn't quite understand what i was" I wait with her before she falls asleep.

"You know Mikaelson, i'd never hurt you" Lizzie says, in a dazed state.

"I know" I whisper, realising she'd dozed off into sleep.

I contemplate waiting by her side, but quickly remember one thing i had to take care of first... Josie.

I shoot up, my expression and mood completely changing to anger and rage... i get it, I betrayed her trust... but take that out on me.... not Lizzie.

I scower everywhere for her, she wasn't in her dorm, she wasn't there, the cafeteria, the stadium... the woods... everywhere, was she hiding from me?

Just as i give up, after searching for around an hour, i tune into a sound coming from the other hall of dorms.

I tune in.

"She'll be fine" Penelope's voice shakes.

"I don't care about her, she's dead to me" Josie laughs.

Before hearing what could only be a kiss... what the fuck.

I rush round the corner to see Penelope's arms wrapped around Josie, although Josie seemed to try pull away.

"Hope" Josie squeals as she pushes Penelope away.

"Wow" Is the only set of words i can get out.

I storm off, Just the fact it was Penelope... i get it... payback is a bitch.
