"That's why I love ya dickhead."

"Hey guys, dinner is ready. Oh, what on earth are you watching? Aren't you a little young for that–"

Hope pushed the button to quickly shut off the TV and Nick laughed looking up at Hayley with his innocent charming smile.

"Can't really say no to her, when she's just gotten out of the hospital."

"I swear both of you are trouble

"I swear both of you are trouble..come on now it's time to eat I've made roast chicken."

"That's why you're my favourite aunt!"

Nick stood up and threw an arm around Hayley's shoulder walking to the kitchen, Hope soon followed with a smile. Finally her home seemed lively and warm like it used to in the past. While everyone enjoyed their food Hope extended a hand out, brushing over Nick's bruised cheek ever so gently.

"We never got around talking about who's done that to you."

"Oh, just a fucking moron at school. Honestly it's no biggie, he was talking trash about you and I was ready to kick his ass but he got me first."

"Wait, what–"

"Guys are we really talking about this over dinner??"

"Mom, you don't just hit a Mikaelson and get away with it. Tell me his name, now."

"Nick..can you put this past you, please?" Hayley begged.

"I can, but Hope obviously not."

"I want his name, NOW."

"Fine. Tyler. Tyler Lockwood."

The next day both Mikaelson's attended school together and everyone was happy to see Hope back, but she ignored answering questions about what happend to her and why she had a big scar on her forehead, she always had this mysterious side to her personality which is why a lot of her mates were actually attracted to her. Hope decided to pay a visit to the headmaster after hearing all about how he was looking for her, and also complained about her attendance.

"Miss Mikaelson, very nice to see you back to school and getting into studying again. You know, I heard all about the accident and honestly I was a little worried."

"You were worried about me? Why?"

Hope positioned herself at the edge of the man's desk, without asking his permission, and played around with his stationary.

"You're one of my little gems. Your grades are one of the highest in the school, and your reputation..well, let's just you like making an impression and I can see why."

"Cool. Anyway, I heard there was an issue with my attendance. I was indeed going through a period, getting over my father's death, so I probably skipped more than I should but I assure you it's not going to be a problem anymore."
