From two to Three

Chapter 1

Josie POV

"It's either her or me!" hope said 

"what?" I asked

"It's either, me or her!" hope yelled this time

"I'm not choosing, between you and my best friend" I say

"she clearly is in love with you, and I have been trying my best to ignore the signs, but josie it hurts to see that one day, you and her will have our dream wedding and our whole life that we had planned out" hope says 

"She isn't in love with me! she just needs some time" I say

"and you really expect me to believe that? you don't even believe that! and you know it" hope says 

"hope! please don't do this to me! don't make me choose" I begged her

"Josie, I love you,  every since 2nd grade. Every time I was told to choose, I chose you! I'm only asking you to choose me for once" hope said with tears flooding her eyes

"I never told you to choose me!" I say

"are you fucking serious!" she yelled

I flinched. Hope never hit me, but her yelling at me hurts me.

"Hope. I know that us and this whole thing with my parents is stressful, but don't take it out on Penelope" I say

"I can't be here right now." she says before walking off

"HOPE!" I yelled but she didn't turn around to face me once.

HOPE POV

"HOPE!" I heard josie yell.

I love josie with all my heart, I would die for her. Penelope has had this big crush on josie but she doesn't think penelope likes her that way. I can't sit around and watch her slowly get trapped into penelope evil plan to get with her. I'm deciding to part myself with josie. I love her so much that I'm choosing to let her go. Tonight all I wanted to hear her say was "I choose you" and not once did she even begin to say it.

"Hope? what's wrong?" lizzie says as she see the tear slip down my cheek

"I can't do this, I don't want to do this" I say

"what? what happened? did you and josie break up?" she asked 

"I think I should move back to new Orleans" I say

"what did you guys fight about?" she asked

"Penelope" I said

"what about her?" she asked

"I told her to choose, me or penelope and she looked me dead in the eye and couldn't say me. She couldn't choose the person that has been there for her since day one over a new stupid fucking friendship" I say

"I know about penelope and her big crush on josie. Josie is just to kind-hearted to see it" lizzie said 

"give her this" I said handing her the note

"you don't have to leave hope. You leaving will not make things better because you will have to face josie again" she says 

"well, hopefully when that day comes, I'm not in love with her" I say

I was packing everything until I heard a knock at the door. I didn't answer, it was most likely josie or dr. saltzman

"Hope Andrea Mikaelson! open this damn door!" josie said 

i have never heard her curse.

"go away josie" i say
"so you were going to leave... without a goodbye?" she asked

"and you were going to leave me?" she asked

"Josette, go away" I say

"you're pushing me away hope, and I don't like this" she says 

I didn't respond and I didn't hear her say anything until I saw the door knob twisting. I hate that josie is a siphoner. she opened the door with a angry look.

"why are leaving?" she asked

"I'm making the choice for you" I say

"No!" josie says 

"I can't jo, not anymore" I said before grabbing my bag and heading to the door.

"if you walk out that door, there is no going back, there is no getting back together. we are done" josie says as a tear slides down her face

I walked over to her and said 

"I love you jo" I said before kissing her head and walking out.
