Lizzie and Hope were dating in season three and this happens after 3x15.
Hope finally tells Lizzie about the hollow.

Lizzie POV:

We just came back from saving the galaxy and the whole ride back home, I asked myself one question: Why did Hope never tell me about the hollow?

I mean, we were dating for almost three years and it's an important fact about her past, I always wanted to ask her about it, but she always avoided the topic.

When we got to the school, Hope didn't say anything and just got out of the car, walking to her room, without waiting for me.

I ran after her.

"Hope wait!", I yelled, but she didn't turn around.

She walked to her room, closed the door and spelled it shut. I tried to open it, but it didn't work of course.

"Hope? Are you okay?", I asked worried, she didn't answer.

I could hear sniffling from inside the room and knew she was crying.

"Hope, please open the door.", I begged.

"Leave me alone Liz.", she said.

I didn't listen and just siphoned the door open.

I walked into the room and closed the door behind myself.

"Hope?", I asked, walking over to her.

She sat in bed, tears streaming down her beautiful face.

I rushed to her side and wrapped my arms around her.

She just cried in my arms and I let her, Hope barely cries and I know, that she had to let all her emotions out sometimes.

I slowly walked us over to her bed and sat down, pulling her on my lap. Hope rested her head on my chest and continued to cry.

Hope POV:

It was too much for me, to see myself when I was younger and when I still had hope for my family broke me.

I miss my family. The hollow broke them apart and caused my dad and uncke to die.

I have noone left, except for Lizzie.

I wanted to tell her everything, but I don't know how. It's hard for me to talk about it.

I cried in Lizzie's arms, till I had no tears left.

"You better?", she asked me and I nodded a little bit, still not moving my head.

"Hope, I know this is hard for you but maybe you should tell me about the hollow. I don't want to push you, but I think you'll feel better when you do.", Lizzie said and I knew she was right.

I lifted my head from her chest and set up straight.

"You're right. I'll tell you.", I said and took her hands in mine.

I took a deep breath and started to talk.

"I don't know everything about it, since I was really young when it happened, but I know, that it was a girl, her name was Inadu. When I was seven years old, she took over my body and tried to kill my soul, so she could have my body for herself. My family found a way to safe me, so my uncle Kol, uncle Elijah, auntie Bex and my dad took a part of the hollow in themselves and split up, they couldn't see each other or me. Shortly after we started dating, I found a way to reunite my family and took the hollow in myself again, that was the time were I told you, that I was sick and wouldn't come to school for a bit. The black magic, I had in myself was slowly killing me, so my dad asked your mother for help. That's why you had to siphon something out of me and put it in my dad, it was the hollow. My dad got crazy and killed himself to finally defeat the hollow.", I told her and choked back tears at the end.

"Oh Hope, that sounds awful. Why didn't you tell me?", she asked.

"I wanted to protect you. It wasn't safe for you to be near me at the moment.", I said.

"I'm so sorry that you had to go through all of this. And also that you had to relive it, just because of the stupid story I wrote when I was eleven.", Lizzie apologized and I took her face in my hands.

"You don't have to be sorry. You hated me back than and it's okay, we have each other now. You helped me to get better, after my parents died and I love you so much for that. You are my family now.", I told her and smashed my lips onto hers, before she got the chance to say anything.

"I love you so much Liz.", I whispered.

"I love you too."
