We'll Be Fine

Chapter Twenty-Five: Fix A Heart

Lizzie's POV:

This morning I woke up and didn't feel like complete shit. I mean I still have my issues but I'm working on it. I felt Hope moving behind me a little and I cuddled into her more causing her to groan and squeeze me tighter. I smiled as she kissed my shoulder. "Goodmorning beautiful." She said in her sleepy voice and I melted into her even more. "Goodmorning love. How'd you sleep?" I asked and she yawned. "Best sleep of my life." She said causing me to giggle. Our morning moment was cut short by a very angry Josie. "What the hell Lizzie? Do you not bother checking your phone at all?" She asked fuming. "Woah Jo. Slow down. What's wrong?" Hope asked as I grabbed my phone and looked at it. I saw all her missed calls and texts. My heart sank when I realized why she was so angry at me. 

"W-w-what do you mean dad's in a coma? What happened?" I asked as I stood up out of bed. Hope followed suit, her full attention on the both of us. "He drank himself into blackout last night and he tried to drive back here but he never made it... He ran into a tree and went through the windshield... He slipped into a coma at 4 this morning... The doctors said they didn't know if he will come out of it..." Josie said and I let the sob coming through my body out. Jo had tears in her eyes as well. "Holy shit..." Hope said as she came over to me but I pushed her away. I saw the hurt flash in her eyes but she quickly covered it. Josie wrapped her arms around me as I sobbed into her chest. Hope had tears in her eyes but she wasn't going to show it. You could see from a mile away that her mind was trying to find a way to help. She gave me a sad smile before walking out of the room with her phone. I hope she can find one because I don't know what I would do if my dad wasn't to make it out of this alive. 

Josie and I eventually sat on Hope's bed with blood shot eyes and runny noses. We just enjoyed the comfort of each other. We were talking about Hope when someone walked in. Our mom came over to us and wrapped her arms around the both of us as we clinged onto her for dear life. "Hope has found a way to save your dad. She promised me that he was going to be ok. She'll send someone for us when he's awake again." She said and I was confused. What are you going to do Hope Mikaelson? 

Hope's POV:

Once I learned about what happened to Alaric, I called Freya. "Yes, my favorite and only niece?" She said with a laugh. I laughed to before dropping it all on her. "I need you and Kol to meet me at Mystic Falls Hospital. It's Alaric and he's in bad shape. He was drunk last night and thought he could make it back here but ran off the road into a tree. He went through the windshield and the doctors say he might not wake up. I need you and Kol to transfer his injuries to me. I know the risk and I know what I'm asking you to do but I want to make things right between me and him. I don't want him to see me as the villain anymore. If I can save his life and show the girls that I do still care about him then I can live with the risk I'm asking you to take. I'll see you there in an hour. I love you." I explained before hanging up. I took a deep breath and leaned against the hallway wall. 

"You're going to do what?" I heard Jade say. I sighed and looked at her. "You already heard what I'm doing and I'm not going to repeat it." I said causing her to roll her eyes. "You can't do that." She said, leaning against the wall next to me. "Why can't I Jade?" I asked her, getting frustrated that she told me I can't do it. "Because as much as Josie and Lizzie need their dad, they need you the same. They need us both. You know the risk of taking on a human's injuries. You could never wake up or worse... Hope think about what you're asking of your aunt and uncle, of what your asking of yourself. You don't have to keep sacrificing yourself to prove you aren't a villain. We all know you're good Hope. How do you think they are going to feel when they learn that you have once again put their family before your own life? You could very well kill yourself by doing this. I'm not trying to stop you or convince you to do anything because I know I will never be able to but Lizzie is sired to you so if you don't make it, she won't either unless your aunt breaks the bond. Just think about what you're signing yourself up for." Jade said before patting my back and walking away.
