Craved hatred

Two

Landon shook his head as he paced around the room. "My girlfriend isn't getting any where near hope mikaelson, do you know how much damage she's caused Josie? How much stupidity that she caused onto Josie?" Landon scoffed

Josie then scoffed "are you calling me stupid?"

Landon raised his eyebrow "so what if I was? You'll get smarter soon, you've been hanging around with me, so that must count for something" Landon crossed his arms

Mg watched the whole thing go down and it didn't sit right with him, but as he parted his mouth to speak, Josie gave him the look to silence him.

Landon and Josie had a weird relationship, or at least that's what everyone else calls it. Landon thinks since Josie has daddy issues that he would be the new replacement and he loves bossing her around when he has no right to, he thinks he's in all full control because he's a 'man' and Josie's stupid enough to allow it.

Mg looked over at Josie "do you agree to the co-writing a book, with Hope mikaelson?" Mg asked her

Landon shook his head "the answer is no" he says as he grabbed Josie hand

"I wasn't talking to you" Mg spoke up as Mg walked up to the couple and removed Landon's hand from Josie.

Josie was use to it so she didn't really do much "can I think about it?" Josie asked

Mg nodded and Landon scoffed "you aren't working with Hope mikaelson, not especially after what she's done to your beautiful writing"

"I said I'll think about working with her.. i never said I forgive her" Josie says as she looked into her arm. Landon must have held her tighter again because there was mark left there. Josie couldn't even feel the pain, it probably was from all the shit she had to deal with and what she's gotten use to.

"She's coming down here tomorrow night, and she's only staying for 3 days meaning you have only 3 days to ask her to co-write with you" Mg assured before walking over to the door.

He turned around to look at Landon "and you, touch my best friend again, it would be your last time breathing" Mg assured before leaving over.

Nobody really knew what Landon and Josie relationship was like, sure Landon showed his true colors around Josie's family but he was worse behind closed doors and especially when he's drunk, he gets insecure about everything, whether it's a guy looking in Josie's direction.. Josie wouldn't pay attention to anyone, she barely paid attention to Landon but he always accused her of cheating and that always resulted in bad thing happening and Josie not seeing her family for weeks.

Josie should leave the bastard, but she can't, all her family wants her to leave him but she just can't, something in her won't allow her.. and maybe it's because a part of her knows what's waiting for her when she even begin to start that conversation.

The brunette would rather be miserable and try to please Landon then to have Landon stalking her and trying to hurt her for breaking his heart. Josie always called herself pathetic, and stupid, and a coward for not breaking up with him years ago, but it was no changing time now.

"I told you no didn't I?" Landon scolded as he walked up to Josie.

"You can't keep trying to control my life" Josie muttered as she backed away from Landon.

"I'm just trying to be a good boyfriend, and you just piss me off and you make me sick! I do everything in my power to make you feel loved and at home but all you can think about is getting with other people" Landon scoffed

Josie shook her head "Landon! It's a fucking meeting for work! I don't want to get with anyone but you" Josie tried persuading.

Landon let out a tear that made him look psychotic, he looked like a fucking serial killer "promise me you would never leave me" Landon says as he puts a grip onto Josie's arm.

Josie tries to contain the pain because she's actually starting to feel it again. "I said to promise me" Landon says as he increases the strength on the arm.

Josie whined in pain "you're hurting me Landon.. it hurts" Josie says

Landon jerks his hand back and roll his eyes "you are being a baby right now, it didn't hurt, don't be dramatic"

"I have a fucking bruise! On my arm!" Josie yelled as she tried to contain her tears.

"It's okay, that way you won't go outside for another couple of weeks, lucky me" Landon smirked before walking away.

Josie groaned before throwing herself back into a chair. She had finally come to the conclusion that she was going to take the deal with Hope. As much as she hates the auburn haired girl she sure as hell needs a break from Landon. The whole co-writing thing would have to be in a state a little bit far from here so that Josie can stay away for a good minute, she just didn't want to over do it. Landon might be dumb but he will find her no matter what.

Josie took out her phone and started to dial Mg number. "Hello jo is everything oka-"

"I want to take the deal.. and I need a ride home, Landon left me back at the studio with no ride" Josie says as she tried not to groan from the pain.

"Okay, I'll be right there" Mg says before hanging up.

"I will kill that bastard" Mg threatened as he made a left turn

"No.. don't bring it up, don't talk about, don't even mention it. He finds out I told you, I can kiss my life goodbye"

"Are you crazy? He's not your dad, he doesn't tell you what to do, or how to feel! You are your own person jo" Mg scoffed

"Well, if we are being technical here, my own father doesn't tell me what to do either" Josie says as Mg just rolls his eyes

"I'm serious jo.. you aren't staying with him tonight and I seen those bruises, and I know how you got them so don't even try and lie about it" Mg says as he finally pulls up in front of his house.

"Just please don't tell my mother" Josie fidgeted with her fingers.

Mg looked over at her "No promises, she deserves to know how this shit bag is treating you." Mg says as Josie just sighs.

"Ethan's away with Mikey on a trip to see his dad back in New York, so the house should be quiet" Mg assured

Josie smiled at her best friend, here he was, enjoying life with a husband and son, and Josie was desperately trying to make a hit off of a book while still having to deal with Landon and his abandonment issues.

"Thank you Mg, you have been such a big help" Josie admits as she opens the door and gets out.

"No need to thank me, I would help you over and over and over again, because that's what best-friends are for, now let's get inside so I can make you something to eat.. are you hungry?" Mg asked

"Well I-"

"Yeah you're hungry, come on" Mg says as he gets out of the car.

"So, back to mystic falls you go then?" Freya asked as she stood by the door.

Hope continued packing, "it's not that type of trip back to mystic falls that you think" hope assured as she closed the suit case.

"Right.. so how long you staying for?" Freya asked as she brought her lip up into a thin line.

Fear crossed her face, she didn't know why but she didn't like the feeling "3 days until I have to go back to work" hope assured as she avoided her aunts gaze.

"Well I hope you have fun, no pun intended" Freya smiled

"It's going to be hell" hope says as she thought back to what she had originally planned for when she went into mystic falls.'

And what if everything was just a bust and it all turned out to be some lame weekend?

Hope already agreed to it so it was no turning back now, what has she gotten herself into?
