You're Mine

S3 Ch. 4- Dinner

Hope's POV

After finally making it downstairs and to the dining room. Everyone looked at me.

H: You guys look like you've seen a ghost.

Ko: Maybe because we have. You look pal.

H: I feel fine.

Fr: Are you sure?

I nod and Josie looks away from me. I frown a little bit and sit down across from Kol. We all eat and then we see Jed. I smiled and stood up way to quickly and Josie and Kol were quickly by my side.

H: I'm fine.

Ko: You should go lay down.

H: Jed just got here.

Ke: Yes and you just almost died earlier.

H: Well he actually died.

Je: Hope, what happened to you?

H: Seriously guys, don't worry about me.

I look at Josie and she has a worried look on her face. I tried my best smile so they can all see that I am totally fine. Kol looked over at Freya.

Ko: I'll take her upstairs.

Fr: Good, she might still need to rest.

Kol helped me back up the stairs. Jed followed us and I heard more footsteps. Who else would follow us and why would they want to skip out on dinner.

Freya's POV

Josie followed Hope, Kol and Jed upstairs. I looked over at Keelin and she frowned.

Fr: Hope will be okay. She just needs to rest.

Ke: I just hope it's soon because we can't let these kids stay here forever.

Fr: We might just have to do that.

Ke: Hope wouldn't be fond of the idea. Especially if her friends are in trouble.

Fr: Josie's friends, Hope is the bad guy to them. Josie is the only one who doesn't entirely look at her like Hope just completely ruined her life.

Ke: But she did, you've heard the story so why is Josie pretending like it doesn't matter?

Fr: That's something we have to ask her.

Keelin nods and everyone goes back to eating dinner. Jed comes back down and I give him a confused look.

Je: Josie told me to come back down here and that she'll take care of Hope.

Fr: And Kol?

Je: He said he'd be down in a minute.

I nodded and Jed joined us. Mg and Kaleb took care of their plates. Lizzie excused herself to the bathroom.

Once dinner was over, I cleaned everything up. Josie came back downstairs and helped me put away the dishes.

Fr: You don't have to help.

J: I know but I just think it'd be disrespectful if you guys do so much for us and none of us return the favor.

Fr: Hope asked us to look after you guys. I don't know when she found the time with what happened at the school but she really is a sweet girl.

J: I know. I've had my moments with her.

Fr: Is that why you look at her differently?

J: What do you mean?

Fr: Well your friends look at her like she just ruined their entire life but you look at her as if you owe her something or you look at her as if you actually want to get to know her deep down.
