A Secret Affair

Twisted love

And it was right, as much as I wished I could... I couldn't hate her. Although thats not me saying I forgive her, or any sort of thing... I couldn't.

I go to say something, until the door flies open.

"oh thank god, I heard silence and thought you'd killed each other" Josie smiles as she deems it safe.

Lizzie steps back slightly and takes the first chance she could to dart out the room and out of sight.

Josie looks directly at me with a puzzled grin.

"Did I say something" Josie asks.

"I don't think so" I respond trying to make it as less awkward as possible.

Lizzie had seemed sincere, with her little 'I'm sorry speech' however a part of me hates her still.

"That wasn't cool Josie" I push past her and headed straight back out the door just as Lizzie had done.

Should she have locked me in a room with my least favourite person on earth? Absolutely not. Am I glad she did... Maybe. 

I could hear a quiet 'Hope Wait' but I chose to ignore it as I just walked out. I wasn't about to return to my dorm... she'd just follow me. I wanted to talk to Jade.

I walk over to Jade's room which was a short distance from Josie's but she wouldn't find me there, truthfully I didn't want to talk to Josie right now.

I knock loudly on her door, hinting to the fact to hurry the fuck up.

"Hey bitch what's up" Jade swings her door open.

"Are you okay" Is the next thing that comes out of her mouth.

I decide to tell her about what Josie just did... although she wasn't exactly surprised, more confused to what Lizzie had to say when we were together, which I didn't tell her.

"We just threw insults the whole time... I hate her" I exaggerate.

"Its really that bad huh... I don't really know her but if you hate her... I do too" Jade reassures me, wrapping me into a hug.

"What would I even do without you" I say softly.

"You'd be screwed thats for sure" Jade jokes.

It was funny, all the way through school, everyone thought that it was Jade and I who were together, along with Penelope that was. I never saw it, Jade and I are friends and thats it. Most likely because of the 'fake flirting' we always do, or randomly winking at each other during class.

"I think Josie fucked up though, I don't think locking you and her sister in a room, knowing about your hatred for one another was the best idea" Jade laughs.

"Tell me about it" I chuckle back.

Jade and I just talk about life for the next hour or so until I realise it was getting late... hitting 1am extremely faster than I'd thought.

"I better head off" I start to stand up.

"Are you sure you don't want to stay here tonight Hope... I don't mind sharing a bed with you" Jade winks.

"Hmm I bet you wouldn't" I laugh.

"But seriously I better get back,  We have school tomorrow after all" I walk towards the door.

"Okay, let me know if you need anything" Jade sighs as she wraps me into another hug.

I shoot a quick smile before leaving the room finally. If I'm grateful for anything in this world, it would be Jade, she's got me through some real dark times and honestly I don't know where I'll be without her by my side.

I reach my dorm finally, throwing the door closed and getting comfy in some pyjamas before wrapping myself up in bed... safe from everything that goes bump in the night.

Drifting off in a sea of thoughts.

Seeing 1.30am on my alarm clock before shutting my eyes a final time for the day... or so I thought.

Loud bangs come from the other side of my door which jolts me awake.

It took a solid minute for myself to come around, seeing my alarm clock be 3am as I step out of bed. Now noticing it to be knocks on my door rather than bangs... but they sound the same with vampire hearing.

"I'm coming, give me a second" I yell which causes the knocks to stop.

I grab a dressing gown, putting my hair up into a rough ponytail.

I had a rough idea who it was going to be, and that was Josie.

However I couldn't have been more wrong as I sling my door open to reveal a familiar blonde stood at my door.

I could've yelled at the sight of her... although when I looked at her face I saw tears running down her cheeks.

"Lizzie" I say with a hint of confusion.

She doesn't say a word, just look at me with a similar confused expression to mine.

"Come in... come in" I hurry her inside as I look outside my dorm for anyone else but it was just her.

Lizzie takes a seat on my bed.

"Do you want a coffee" I ask her... not knowing what she wanted.

"Yes please" Lizzie chokes up.

I throw a packet of tissues her way as she dries her eyes... to be honest if it wasn't 3 in the morning I'd have had more questions to why she was in my room... but I was being careful myself.

"I'm sorry Hope" Lizzie says out of the blue.

Turning to face her, seeing her face buried in her hands. I walk over with a cup of coffee and hand it to her.

"What for" I just ask.

"Everything" Lizzie just snaps at me before crying again.

I take a seat next to her on my bed, putting on a fake understanding face.

"Its okay" I just throw out... of course it wasn't but I had to say something at least.

"No it's not. You had every right to be mad at me all these years. When I saw you my first day back... I froze up. I didn't think I'd see you again, and then I had the decency to be a dick to you since... I'm so sorry" Lizzie chokes up once more.

"Yeah.. maybe that last part is true. But what you did was years ago, you were a scared kid Lizzie, I can't hold it against you" I sincerely respond.

"Josie keeps asking me what happened. I don't have the heart to tell her... I can't even face her without feeling guilty about you. So I left and came here... I probably should've waited till the morning huh" Lizzie looks at me.

I just look back at her, not knowing what to say. She really hadn't changed from all those years ago, her facial features all stayed the same... thats why I find it difficult to hate her... after all I fell in love with her face.... I couldn't hate it.
