When Hope got home all she could think about was how she was going to kill Landon.
Now murder wasn't something that she took interest in but when you were fucking with her career and her life, then you had another thing coming, and happiness wasn't even on the list.
Landon wasn't home, that must have meant that he knew better than to come home.
As though Hope was pissed, she was more mad on the fact that she allowed this to happen. She saw the signs.
It was the same way they started dating in the first place. Hope hadn't even gotten asked on a date and Landon took it to the internet and started telling everyone about their so called relationship.
Not that he forced her into a relationship but it was quite one of the reasons. He had a tendency of taking things to the media because he knew that Hope cared a lot about her reputation and she wouldn't even want to make it seem like she's lying to her fans.
Lying about dating Hope was one thing but falsely saying she was pregnant to the internet was another.
Think about it, people would start to look at her photos and lie about this pregnancy glow or that they see the baby bump coming in. It might not seem like a lot or even enough to care about but that could bring a person down a lot.
—and even though Landon ruined her night with that bullshit, the only thing Hope couldn't get off her mind was the way Josie felt against her.
These were gay thoughts and Hope believed that she was hetero, nothing but that.
Obviously that was a stupid thought seeing as she was all over Josie just less than 4 hours ago.
The look on Josie's face as Hope read what Landon posted, caused pain to Hope's heart. She saw the pout and sorrows on the younger girl and it pissed her off more because she didn't ever want to make Josie felt that way she really lov.. well.. she really cared for the girl.
Speaking of Josie,
Josie: Hey, I'm sorry if I made things weird today, and I know that you don't want to talk to me because maybe I pushed things onto you and maybe this was all my fault but please don't be mad at me. And I'm sorry for intruding on you and Landon's relationship.
Hope tapped her index finger against her lips as she thought about what to say.
What would she say? Josie never made her feel uncomfortable. Josie made her feel quite the opposite.
She made her feel on top of the world, she made her feel as if she was in those sappy novels that Josie loved so much.
Josie made hopes heart feel like a petunia flower that bloomed in the spring until frost, except Hope bloomed whenever Josie was around, her heart had this sting to it, it was like a art piece that Josie held all the brushes to.
Josie having this much power of hopes heart was dangerous because not even Landon had that power, not that they were anything alike but Hope hadn't ever felt this way before.
She was sure that this was only because they had sex but the auburn haired girl had enough hook ups in her life to know that those 15 minutes were the best 15 minutes of her life, and that said a lot.
Not even Landon could master that with his 5 seconds of fame.
Back to the text, how was Hope supposed to answer this? She had so much to say to Josie and the last time they spoke, she ran off leaving Josie with some lame ass 'I'm sorry'.
She needed to figure out what to say fast, her attention span wasn't that great.
Keys.
Hope looked up from her phone to see Landon walking in. She threw her phone over to the couch as she got up and crossed her arms.
She could already smell the alcohol on him, it was quite disgusting if you would ask her. "Who the hell you think you are spreading lies about me on the internet!" Hope scolded as he smiled and walked into the living room.
He plopped onto the couch. He was so out of it. "Landon! Are you listening to me?" Hope groaned.
"Shut the hell up, I have a terrible headache." He wined as he held onto his head.
—"who fault was it to drink?" She crossed her arms.
"I'm not up for it today, hope. I had a long day at work and.."
"We work at the same job. And you showed up late today, so don't try to play that card on me." Hope scoffed as Landon just rolled his eyes.
"We can talk about this tomorrow." He assured as he got up to walk off.
As he reached the door frame Hope sighed, "I had sex with someone else." Hope admitted as she clenched her eyes shut.
Landon slowly turned around and he smiled, it was something that Hope didn't expect. "That's great. Wonderful." He seemed a little too happy for the news.
The auburn haired girl raised an eyebrow, "why.. umm, why are you so happy about this? Aren't you going to be mad at me and tell the whole internet and shit?" Hope asked as she stood confused.
He shook his head, "No. That just makes us both messed up. You cheated on me, and I got a girl pregnant. Hey, if you ask me, that's a win win." He smirked as he tried to walk off.
A scoff left hope's mouth, "you.. you got someone pregnant? And you think that's any amount to me just sleeping with someone?"
Landon nodded his head, "we both made mistakes, it's just my mistake will be here in 3 more months."
"6 months Landon! 6 fucking months you've been cheating and you think that's any amount to my one night stupid stand that happened recently? I told you because I didn't think you deserved someone like me but obviously it was quite the opposite."
Hope knew that she couldn't be mad at the fact that Landon cheated, because she did too, but he was having a baby! A freaking baby and he wasn't going to tell Hope about the baby at all, until she admitted to cheating, which he did first.
"Whatever, I was thinking that maybe you can pay the girl to let us have the baby and just say you birthed it, or something, I don't know how that stuff works." He shrugged.
Hope let out a dry chuckle, "No. See, I'm done. I'm calling quits on this relationship. I will not be a step mother! And damn sure won't stay in this relationship looking like a damn fool." Hope said as she grabbed her phone.
"So you're breaking up with me? This is stupid, we're both in the wrong."
"No, I don't want to do this anymore. I physically can't and I won't."

That next morning, Hope sat in her trailer as she scrolled through her Instagram feed waiting to see if Landon was going to let the media know about what happened last night. she was so bored and she didn't know what to do, it was only a matter of time before he told everyone.
Filming started in about an hour or so and she still hadn't seen Landon or even Josie. Not that she was looking for her, but she needed to talk to her, to set things straight with her.
Hope was sure she wasn't gay and that she didn't know what the hell was going on with her but it was probably the lack of sex in her life. Yeah, she was sure that's what it was.
Thinking of Josie, Hope had realized she didn't text the girl back after last night. She groaned as she slapped herself on the head.
She got up and just as she was about to sit in a chair instead of laying on the couch, her trailer opened up.
Her eyes widened when she saw the brunette. She had her hair down and a tight black shirt with a very high black skirt to match, it was so high that if Josie reached over to grab something she would definitely be showing more than she wanted.
"Hi Josie.. I was just about to-"
"Sit." Her voice was a little low and it had a lot of power to it.
Hope face froze, she then sat down as she looked up at Josie to see the girl shutting and locking the door to the trailer, "we have a lot to talk about."
"Does it actually require talking because I'm so over it.." Hope looked down at Josie's legs and slowly back up to the girls brown eyes. "Why don't we just cancel talking to begin with," Hope nodded along with her words. "Suddenly I'm an action movie type of girl." She gulped.
