Hope's life at the Salvatore School has been nothing short of shakey, Mainly caused by the 'it' girl of the school, Lizzie Saltzman.
What happens when her atitude turns from bullying to flirty remarks? Will Hope crumble for her like every other girl...
I couldn't shake it, I don't even want to go to the dance anymore. I completely understood aswell, what was I thinking.
I decided I weren't going to go to the dance, I wasn't ready for that.
Until the knocking on my door became louder and louder, as I was forced to open it... It was Jade.
"Hey" Jade mimics my upset expression.
"She's really mad at me" I explain before breaking down in tears.
I let her in, while she carries a plastic bag of god knows what into my dorm.
Taking a seat on my bed, as I do the same.
"I don't know what I was thinking, she has every right to be mad at me... I get it. But I need to give her time" I suggest.
"Does that mean you're not going to the dance" Jade enquires.
"I don't want to go somewhere I'm not wanted" I shrug off.
"Thats a real shame... I just bought you a matching outfit.... I guess I'll have to throw this away... oh wow Hope" Jade plays on my emotions.
"I'd love to... I just... something else happened" I state.
"What" Jade shortly asks.
"She lifted up her arms... I thought she was-... My reflexes made me flinch. She took it like I was scared of her or something and stormed out" I explain to her.
"Are you scared of her?" Jade asks.
"No.. of course not. I'm sure as hell scared of the old version of her. So maybe when she was yelling it triggered my reflex like what it was like back then. But not now... she'd never hurt me, And I stand by that" I sob.
"Oh come here" Jade speaks softly.
Jade wraps me in a tight hug as she lets me cry on her shoulder... it was nice to have a friend like this.
"You did nothing wrong" Jade makes out.
"I Don't know what to do" I state.
"So what we're going to do is... go have a shower, Get some stunning makeup on... Wear this dress I bought you like the queen you are, and we are both going to go to the dance... Together" Jade reassures.
"What about Jed" I chuckle through my tears.
"Fuck him... He can wait... I'll save him a dance" Jade calmly responds.
We had a little cry session for around half an hour before I decided she was right... it was better than being cooped up here with all my emotions right?
Jade takes a step towards the plastic bag, revealing a gorgeous red, long dress... perfectly tailored to my size, with a red jump-suit for her to match.
"What do you think" Jade looks proud of herself.
"I think you have excellent taste" I Joke with her.
"Okay... go take a shower, I'll leave you to it" Jade smiles,
"I'll be back at 7" Jade adds, before taking her dress and leaving the room.
I definitely undermined how much I missed having a friend, right now she was all I got... the one who could really understand how much it hurt to fall for someone you're not supposed to.
Taking a shower just sends flashbacks of Lizzie in here with me... comforting me through what I thought was one of the worst feelings in the world.
I didn't mean to hurt her, but I always managed to... so well. Maybe we were just destined to be in a constant cycle of pain.
I could only blame myself.
I hop out the shower, feeling as emotionally drained as possible.
Sauntering over to my makeup station, putting everything into that for the first time in forever, but then again it gave me flashbacks of Lizzie doing it for me...
After that was done, I moved onto hair... straightening it... but once again flashbacks of me falling asleep on her lap as she styled my hair flooded my mind... she was so important to me that hurting her, hurt me... deep.
Eventually moving onto my dress, it fit perfectly.
I looked stunning... I could admit that myself.

I loved it... I was excited.... to see Lizzie's face as I wore this...
And sure enough, as the clock struck 7, a knock was set on my door.
Opening it to see Jade, wearing her jump-suit, along with a pair of heals..... she looked gorgeous.
"For once... you look presentable Mikaelson" Jade chuckles as she wraps me into a hug.
We were ready...
"Not too bad yourself" I jokily respond.
"Lets show that girl what she's missing" Jade winks at me.
Interlocking her arm with mine as we begin our trek to the ballroom... I hadn't even see what Lizzie was wearing... I was excited
