Hope's POV:
Today marks the beginning of our senior year and the pressure was on. The school year just started a good month ago and they are already trying to get me to sign up for some colleges I will never go to. I told Caroline I didn't want to go to any of these places and that I'm not even sure if I want to go to college. She seemed disappointed but when I asked about it, she said something very vague about Lizzie and Josie. That's when it clicked, Josie and Lizzie are applying to these colleges, so Caroline and Alaric want me to go with them as protection. I didn't have to enroll in these schools to be there for them.
Lizzie had been a little off these last couple of days and I wasn't entirely sure why. I'm sure she's stressed but still. I'm going to go check on her. I was walking past the kitchen when Josie came running out and into me. I caught her before she fell. "Woah, what's wrong Jo?" I asked. She looked at me and then back at the kitchen. I could hear some stuff being thrown around and someone screamed. Next thing I knew, I heard glass shattering and I looked at Josie again. "I was just coming to get you. I think she's having an episode and I can't get through to her." She said and I helped her on her feet. "Stay right here but do not come in because I'm not sure how this is going to go." I said before walking in.
"Baby--" I said but was shortly cut off by a knife falling towards me. I went to dodge it but I was a little late on the move. "Ouu that's my chest." I said as I pulled the knife out. "Hope? Hope! Oh my god, are you ok? I'm so sorry..." She said as she sobbed. I fixed myself and pulled her into me. "Shh I'm ok. See? I already healed and it barely hurt. What's going on?" I asked her as she clinged onto my shirt. "I have no idea what I want to do with my life. I mean I want to go to college but then again, I want you to be there with me but I know you've already said that you aren't interested in that so I'm trying to find a way for me to have a life with you still in it. I don't want to leave you behind. I don't know what to do anymore." She said and I knew a way for her to at least get rid of all the emotional build up she has. "Hold on to me, ok? I got you." I said as I lifted her up and ran off with her to the woods. I put us far from the school and in the middle of nowhere. I put her gently on her feet and she looked at me like I was insane. "Why did you bring me into the middle of the woods?" She asked and I smiled. "Scream." I said and that made her look at me even more crazy. "What?" She asked. "Scream as loud as you can. Let it out. It's just you and me out here. No one can hear us for miles so scream. Let that built up emotion out. Let that bubble pop." I said as I stepped back.
"AHHH!!!" She screamed as loud as she could. The ground shook and the trees waved as that was a lot of power she just released. I quickly caught her as she was going to fall from the seer force of the scream. "I got you baby. That was good. I'm proud of you." I said as I kissed her forehead. She smiled at me and I carried her to our room where she would nap for the next three hours. I spent those hours just watching movies. I thought about what she said earlier about wanting me to go to college with her and I still didn't want to do the school part of it. I would willingly go wherever it is to be with her and Josie. I know Jade feels the same. I'm gonna talk to her about it when she wakes up.
20 minutes later, a very sleepy Lizzie looks at me. "I'm sorry for stabbing you earlier..." She said before laying her head where the knife had been. I laughed a little before wrapping my arm around her. "It's ok. I know you didn't mean to. I did want to talk about that a little..." I said as she sighed into my chest. "If you're going to say it isn't a big deal and that I'm being dramatic, then no. I've already heard that enough the last two days. I know when I'm being crazy and right now, I'm not. I'm genuinely scared for my future, for our future. We never really talked about this and I think we should but not now. I want to be able to actually have the ability to say what has to be said. So can we do this after lunch?" She asked as she rubbed circles into my stomach under my shirt. I nodded my head and kissed hers causing her to smile. There's my baby.
