crazy about you

After her conversation with Josie, Hope went to her bedroom. She laid on her bed and fell asleep but then during midnight, someone knocked the door. Hope woke up. She got up and opened the door, it was Josie.

"Jo, is everything okay?"
"Look Hope i really i really need to talk to you. It's important"

Josie whispered.
"Okay. Let's just go outside."

Hope said as she grabbed a Jacket. They walked outside. They went in front of the lake.

"What's wrong."
"Look Hope. I lied, or actually i didn't lie i just hide part of the truth. I didn't break up with Finch because i was feeling like something changed, but because there's someone else in my mind. Someone that has been in my mind since i can remember."

Josie said as she walked closer to Hope and took her hand
"Hope, that someone is you."
"Wait what?"

Hope said as she backed off. She couldn't believe it. She took some steps back

"I know you don't feel the same but Hope, i can't hide it anymore."
"No,no,no"

Hope said as she moved closer once she relaxed.

"Josie, you have been in my mind too."
"What? No Hope, you don't have to make me feel better or something."
"I am not. I mean it."

Hope said, she touched Josie's face and tried to kiss her.
"Hope, come on."

Josie said as she pulled Hope's hands away from her face. Then she backed turned around and tried to walk away. Hope grabbed her from her elbow as she pulled her closer and kissed her. Josie relaxed imedietly and they slowly backed off while staring at eachother's lips.

"Josie i am crazy about you."
"Me too."

They couldn't stop staring at eachother. Hope touched Josie's face again and pulled her hair background. Josie smiled.

"What?"

Hope said as she laughed and smiled. Josie pulled her hair and looked up then looked at Hope.

"I just can't believe this is happening."

Hope smiled she kissed Josie again and put her hands slowly on her back.

"Do you believe it now?"
"Yes."

After that they started waking to the school. Hope noticed that Josie was cold because touched her arms.

"Are you cold?"
"Just a bit."
"Here take my jacket."

Hope said as she took off her jacket and put it around Josie's shoulder. Josie looked at Hope and smiled.

While Josie and Hope were walking outside they bumped into Caroline.

"Girls. What are you doing outside. It's late."
"Oh, mum. We were-"
"We went to pick up Josie's jacket."
"Two people for one jacket? And- this doesn't seem like your jacket."
"No it's mine"
"Hmm, yet again two people?"

Caroline said as she looked at them mad. But after some seconds she smiled.

"Im kidding girls, But, i don't wanna se you again outside that late."
"Okay"
"Yes Mrs Forbes."
"Hope, you can call me Caroline. I knew your father, remember?"

Caroline said as she touched Hope's shoulder. Hope didn't say a word. She looked at Josie imedietly

"What are we gonna do?"
"I don't know. What do you think?"

"Josie-"

The door opened rushly. It was Caroline. Once they saw her they backed off and looked at her feeling shy. Caroline closed her eyes but then calmed down imedietly.

"Mum! Knock!"
"Umm. I thought you two told me you'd go to bed."
"We did, technically."

Josie said akwardly. Caroline laughed. Then Hope got up and walked to Caroline.

"We can explain."
"Yes mum that's not what you think."

Caroline turned around, she closed the door behind her as she got in and smiled secretly. Then she looked at Hope and Josie.

"What do i think?"
"I- well when you see two people kissing it probably means that well you know."
"That they are together?"
"Yes"
"So are you two together?"

Josie and Hope looked at eachother. They didn't know what they were supposed to answer. They stayed quiet.

"Girls. I am kidding. I don't have any problem with you being together. I was honestly expecting that."
"Really?"
"Well, Josie kept talking about you when she was younger."
"Mum."

Josie said embarrassed. Hope bite her lips as she smiled softly.

"But you are gonna go to bed. Okay?"
"Yes."
"Absolutely."
"I will believe it when i see it."

"Good night"

Hope said fast. Josie closed the door and stood against it she took a deep breath and bit her lips. Caroline was standing outside the door when Hope got outside. She turned around and looked at her.

"Mrs Forbes."
"I thought we said you would call me Caroline when we are alone."
"Yeah, right. Caroline."
"Let's get a walk around."
'I thought you said we have to get to bed."
"You are allowed to stay for a while."
"Okay."

They went outside and started walking.

"Hope, look. I don't want you to feel uncomfortable around me."
"I don't, is just that. I want you to know that i really care about Josie."
"I am sure you do Hope and if yoy are anything like like your d i am sure you would anything for her."
"My father. You mentioned him before. You said you knew him."
"I didn't just know him. We were really close."
"You two were, together?"
"When i met Klaus, he was. Not the man you met. You changed him Hope, you saved him. I knew he was worth saving. As for the together part.... we didn't have enough time i guess."
"Because he had to save me."

"No, Hope. You were worth his sacrifice and know that he will always be a part of you. I can honestly see him, when i look at you."
"Really?"
"Yeah."

Caroline said as she had tears. She whipped them imedietly and smiled. Hope smiled too.

"Now get to bed."
