"What are we doing in front of Finch's house?"  Hope asked, watching Josie get out of the car.  Hope did not hear the brunette's answer, so she got out of the car and followed Josie, who was in front of the front door.

The red-haired girl turned to the car and she motioned for Lizzie to come too.  "Will you answer my question?"  Hope asked, turning again to Josie, who pulled out a key under a vase by the door and unlocked the door.

"You said Finch tried to kill you with an object made of black magic.  Let's find it then.  I will look upstairs and downstairs . "  Josie said as she headed for the stairs, and in five seconds she had just disappeared upstairs.

Hope and Lizzie began searching everywhere, but found nothing.  Absolutely nothing.

Until Lizzie found a key hidden under the rug in the living room, but unfortunately there was no door for it or any box, so they decided to wait until Josie returned.

"Do you think we'll find something?" Lizzie  asked , who was sitting on a small sofa, but quickly got up after remembering that they were at Finch's house.

"I hope so.  If we don't find anything, your sister will probably think I just want to ruin her relationship. "  Said the red-haired girl, who shrugged.

"Why don't you tell her the truth?"

"Which one?"  Hope asked, sighing heavily.

"That you actually have feelings for her and about the dream."  Said the blonde.

"Oh yes, I will tell her that her girlfriend had to stab me first with an attempt to kill me and I fell into a coma for two days in which I dreamed about my future with Josie and only in the dream I found the courage to tell her  that I love her.  I don't think that will help and she is already in a relationship so..."  Hope said sarcastically.

Lizzie said nothing but turn around to see if her sister was coming upstairs.  And she wasn't coming.

"Ugh, JOSIE BETTER COME DOWN SO WE COULD GO!"  Lizzie called out in an attempt to hear her sister, and finally a few seconds later they saw Josie coming down the stairs.

"Did you find anything?"  Hope asked.  The brunette just shook her head without saying anything as she headed to the door.

Hope and Lizzie just looked at each other, and they both shrugged, not knowing why Josie was acting like that.

After everyone left the house, Josie locked the door again, leaving the key in the same place she had taken it.

"I will not go back to school now, a friend lives down here, I will go to see her.  You take Josie to Aunt Elena and Uncle Damon's house. "  Lizzie said without getting in the car and walking down the street.

Hope turned to Josie and said, "Do you want me to drive you home now or do you want me to take you somewhere?"

Josie thought for a second, but "I want you to take me to Salvatore School, I have to take a book for a long time and I keep forgetting about it."  Josie said, and Hope nodded as she got into the car.

Hope sat in the driver's seat and Josie sat in the passenger's seat.  3 minutes since Hope started driving and there is an awkward silence between them, so Hope decides to speak.

"How are things with Finch?"  Hope asked, and she quickly regretted asking the question.  Josie looked at her strangely.  "Fine, I guess."

,,hm"

"Your birthday is coming up soon, have you decided what you're going to do... I mean, are you going to have a party because Lizzie is definitely going to."  Hope said, smiling slightly.

Josie shrugged and said, "Uh, I don't know. Finch wanted to take me to a meeting at Mystic Grill and I'm unlikely to have time for a party. "

Hope turned and looked at Josie as if she had seen a ghost.

"On your birthday?  In Mystic Grill?  Nothing bad towards  Finch, but this idea is terrible. "  Hope said after she turned to look at the road again.

Josie rolled her eyes and said.  "Not everyone wants  flowers and gifts, Hope, or parties for that matter."  Josie scoffed.

The red-haired girl nodded.  "But I'm not talking about party, love.  You deserve the world.  And if you don't know, you're the world for some people.  So I think Finch can come up with something special for your birthday. "  Hope said and her grip on the steering wheel tightened.

"Oh, please.  I know exactly 2 people who care about me.  And birthdays aren't that special.   A normal day.  I don't want luxury for my birthday, I don't want presents.  I just want a night with the girl I love." Josie said without realizing what she was saying.  Luckily for her, Hope was just parking in front of the school, but when she  heard what Josie said, she slammed  the brakes.

Hope's eyes turned yellow and her wolf begged to come out.  "You... love Finch?"  Hope asked, grabbing the steering wheel even harder.

,,No"

Hope locked the car door so Josie couldn't get out.

"Did you do it on purpose because you knew that I was jealous?" Hope asked, looking at Josie.

,,You were jealous?"

Hope nodded.

,,I am jealous."

Josie shook her head and ran her fingers through her hair.  ,,This is not fair."  She said.  "That's not fair to me."

,,What is not fair to you?" Hope asked leaning a little to Josie's face.

"You can't tell a girl who was madly in love with you that you were jealous of her after she decided to move on from you.  It's not fair Hope.  It's selfish."  Josie said, trying to open the car door but failing.

Hope chuckled.  "If we are gonna play like that.. you can't tell a girl who's madly in love with you that you actually love Finch and want to spend the night with her.  Just don't say it in front of me. "  Hope said, moving her face away from Josie's.

,,I told you that I don't love her!"

"Then why did you say that?" Hope asked, removing her hands from the steering wheel.

,,BECAUSE I DIDN'T MEAN HER!"

,,THEN WHO?" Hope yelled loud as Josie.

,,YOU IDIOT! I MOVED AWAY BECAUSE OF YOU AND GOT A GIRLFRIEND BUT IN THE END I'M STILL COMING BACK TO YOU, DON'T YOU GET IT?" Josie yelled again.

This made Hope shut up and take a deep breath.  ,,Come with me."  Hope said, unlocking the doors and getting out of the car to open Josie's door.

,,Where are we going?"  Josie asked after Hope took her hand and they entered the school.

,,In my room."  Hope said, still holding Josie's hand. ,,Why?" Josie asked.

,,I want to show you how fucking much I love you."
