I awake with a tear stained face. Determined today was the day I'd make things right.
I wasn't doing this to get back at Josie... I wasn't doing this because of Sebastian... I was doing this because I felt things for this girl that I don't think I've felt in a while.
After taking yesterday off school, I decided to at least register today.
Hopping out of bed, singing to myself to encourage some positive vibes.
Getting changed as fast as I could... Throwing on a pair of ripped jeans, with a bland-ish t-shirt... Along with my iconic denim jacket and my vans.
I almost fall over as I rush out of my dorm and down the hall.
Making my stop at the Saltzman twins room... Making sure to tidy up my appearance before doing so... you don't even comprehend the amount of guilt I was feeling right now.
I knock on the door, waiting the couple seconds.
But to my surprise I wasn't greeted by Lizzie, instead it was Josie.
"Hey... Is Lizzie here" I ask the girl.
"Uhh no she headed out to the library... but I'm glad you're here... I really need to speak to you" Josie replies.
"I'm kind of in a rush... But I'll see you tonight" I say before darting off back down the halls.
Leaving Josie stunned.
I run back off towards the library.
Sure enough when I reach there... I see the blonde with a book and a pen writing whatever the hell she wants.
I could watch her all day... but I didn't have time to say what I needed to.
I walk behind her, Noticing that she wasn't writing an essay or an assignment... she was writing a note.
"Who knew you could write" I joke.
"Who knew you were funny. Oh wait you're not" Lizzie snarks back, slamming her book closed.
"Look... I just really had to talk to you" I spit out.
"No don't worry. You said everything loud and clear" Lizzie hisses.
"Come with me" I grab Lizzie's hand.
I grab her hand and drag her off the chair she was sat on as she hurries to throw everything into her back pack before being lead out of the library.
I lead her into room 5... the room she'd first made a move. The first room that I saw the girl differently than a monster.
I drag her in, swiftly locking and closing the blind behind her.
"Hope I'm not in the mood" Lizzie exhausts.
"Don't worry I'll make it quick" I hurry to move a couple tables to make room at the front.
"Do you know what this room is" I ask the girl, now out of breath from moving tables.
"Uhh a classroom" Lizzie sarcastically responds.
"Well... Yes but no... Its where you kissed me. After years and years of being a complete dick to me... You kissed me out of no where. Its the first time I saw you as a person rather than an emotionless jerk" I start to explain.
"Wow okay if you want to rub it in-" Lizzie tries to speak but I cut her off.
"Look. Lizzie... I was a complete bitch to you yesterday... I was angry with Josie, Sebastian, The world and worst of all... myself. Because I let jealousy get the better of me... And you know what, Yeah you're right... I was jealous. You know why?" I Stop myself to take in what I was about to say.
"Its because when I saw him kiss you and dance with you like the 'perfect' gentleman... a part of me... a huge fucking part of me... wanted it to be me. I wanted for you to parade me around like you do with him, and for a split second I thought that maybe I wasn't good enough for you. But I understand..." I walk over to her, grabbing her hands in mine as I make eye contact.
"I understand you need time... I understand you need to figure this out... and I most importantly understand how hard this must be for you... As Lizzie, I like you... like I really like you. And if you'd have told me a year ago that I felt this way towards you, I'd have punched you in the face... but I do" I eventually say what I've been trying to this entire time.
"I really do, And you were right... at the beginning I was trying to get back at Josie and hide those things I felt for her... but somewhere along the line you became something that meant something to me... and when you left yesterday I felt as if a tiny piece of my heart had been ripped out... Because hurting you... it hurts me" I end it off.
I let it all sink in... as the silence is the only answer I got in return.
I was half expecting her to walk out.
"I broke up with Sebastian" Lizzie spits out of no where.
I'm taken aback by this... did she really just say what I think she said.
"What... why" I retaliate.
"Because amongst the terrible things you accused me of... You weren't wrong. I was using you to figure out some feelings and urges I had come to terms with. And just like you... Some where along the line it changed from friends who occasionally hook up with one another. To something more... and that scared the hell out of me. I felt as if everything was changing to fast for me and I hated it... Sebastian was a symbol of me holding on to the past..." Lizzie starts to tear up.
"So I said fuck it... I don't want the past... I want the present" Lizzie explains.
I go to say another word... but instead Lizzie's hands cup their way around my face as she peacefully joins our lips...
This wasn't deepened. This was just a symbol.
"So whatever this means for me... a journey of self discovery... Hope Mikaelson I want you by my side... All the fucking way" Lizzie ends this off with a smile.
"Then so I shall be..." I shortly reply.
"But I need you to understand... I want to take things slow... Like really slow... As in just for now. And don't you dare think you're not good enough for me Hope... its the other way round. I just need time to slowly come to terms with things" Lizzie ends her speech.
"I fully understand..." I finish off mine.
