It was the day of the Mikaelson's Halloween party and Hope and Josie had no idea what to do to keep them busy until then. They had about four hours until the party started. Hope let out a dramatic sigh as she plopped down on Josie's bed "I'm bored" she said staring up at her best friend from her position.

Josie chuckled and shook her head as she looked back down at her schoolwork. It was only Friday but the brunette liked getting her homework done early so she decided since she had time to kill to finish her work "I've never been this bored in my life" she complained. Josie raised an eyebrow "Am I supposed to be your entertainment?"

"Yes," Hope smiled.

"Why don't you go paint something, you left most of your art supplies over here anyways, then you wouldn't be bored," Josie said gesturing toward the blank canvases and many, many paints and pain brushes scattering the corner of the room. Hope thought about it for a moment" I haven't been inspired to pain recently..."

"How about you go paint someone? Like your boyfriend perhaps" she suggested.

"Hm, maybe" Hope stood up and made her way to the blank canvas. She picked it up and put it on the aisle. Josie watched as the teen began picking out different shades of Colors before turning back to her homework.

About two hours had passed and Hope was consumed in her artwork. She didn't even budge when Josie asked if she wanted to watch a movie. So the brunette was laying on her bed watching the good doctor while the auburnette continued to paint.

"God they are so adorable" Josie muttered out as a Shaun and Lea scene came on the screen. Why couldn't Josie have a relationship like theirs? They accept each other and love each other but Josie... she is in love with her best friend who will never in a million years love her the way Josie loves her. It's unfair if you ask her.

Josie was too consumed in her thoughts that she didn't register the warm body come lying down next to her on the bed or the head that rested itself on her shoulder "What are you thinking about?" Hope asked knocking her out of her thoughts.

"Hm?" Josie said looking over at her.

"I said what are you thinking about, you're lost in your thoughts," Hope said poking her forehead. Josie swatted the girl's hand away and shook her head "I'm fine, nothing going on in there" she insisted before looking over at Hope's aisle "What did you paint?"

"Go see for yourself" Hope sat up." she smiled at her "So what did you paint?"

Hope sat up and sat criss-cross "Go see for yourself," she said and gestured to the canvas.

Josie pulled the covers off of her legs and walked toward Hope's art. When she turned and looked at it her breath hitched.

Hope had painted her.

And she looked beautiful. Josie's eyes scanned the canvas and looked at every painted detail. Her face looked so realistic. It looks as if she took a picture of herself and put it on a canvas.

"Hope... this is so amazing."

"I luckily had the best model" Hope grinned and looked at the painting. It was of Josie doing her homework on the bed.
