Female vampire reader x Hope Mikaelson
Summary: Hope starts to have a mental breakdown and asks for reader.
Warnings: mentions of death, swearing, pretty much it
---------------------------------------------------------
Everything in Hope's view is turning swirly, making it hard for her to concentrate. It's been overwhelming, the malivore monsters appearing left and right and followed by nights with nightmares of how it's her fault that her mom, dad, and uncle are dead. Then everyone always turns to her when there's a problem, thinking she immediately knows what to do.
Memories are taking over again from her past. She broke her family apart and she's the reason three of her family members are dead.
Her head isn't allowing her to take a break, awake or not. And it's taking a huge toll on her both physically and mentally. She needs to rest, but every time she tries, it goes south.
She wants, she wants- she doesn't know what she wants, til one person comes to her mind; you. The only person who always stands up for her and tells people off for how they treat her. Especially Dr. Saltzman.
Hearing a voice calling her name, she zones back in. Her nails start digging into her palms, not wanting to breakdown in front of everyone who's in the room.
"Hope? Hope are you okay?" Josie asks, worried about her friend.
She shakes her head, "y-y/n, I want y/n" she mumbles.
"Okay, I'll go get her" Josie softly says, and stands up from the couch where she was sitting next to her.
Walking through the school's hallways, she sees you sitting with Pedro and some of his friends through the window, outside.
Josie walks out the doors and over to you. "Hey y/n, you need to come with me. It's hope" She says, causing you to pause the game you were playing with the kids.
"Of course! Sorry kiddos, we can continue tomorrow" You exclaim and stand up, getting nods from the kids and follow Josie over to where Hope is sitting.
As soon as you see Hope, you immediately vamp over to her.
Josie leaves you both, not wanting to intrude on anything personal that may happen.
"Hope, what happened?" You ask softly, worry etched on your face as you crouch down in front of her so you're at eye level.
She looks at you with tears in her eyes and her hands start shaking as she also shakes her head, not wanting to talk about it here.
"Okay baby, let's go to the room" you softly say while guiding her to stand up. You guys quickly walk back to your shared dorm room with your arm around her waist.
Walking into the room, you lead her over to the bed (which is both of your guys' beds pushed together) and sit side by side against the headboard.
"Am I a bad person?" She whimpers, looking up into your eyes.
"What? No baby, of course your not. Why would you even think that?" You bring your hands up to hold her face in your hands.
"I-I killed my m-m..." She starts before a sob wracks her body.
You pull her into you, wrapping your arms around her quivering form. You bring one hand up and place it on the back of her head, trailing your fingers through her wavy hair.
"Hope, I need you to listen to me very clearly. It's not your fault what happened and you didn't kill your mom, your dad, or your uncle. It's not your fault, it never has been and it never will be," you tell her and place a kiss on the crown of her head.
She nods into your shoulder, listening to every word you said. You feel a couple of her tears drop onto your skin and her arms squeezing around your torso, never wanting you to leave.
"It's not my fault" she whispers against your skin.
"That's right, it's not your fault" you reassure her.
Hope starts to even out her breathing as her tears subside. Someone's actually here with her, someone who doesn't blame her or hate her or scared she'll turn out like her father. Someone who loves her for just her, and no other reason than that.
Though that doesn't mean thoughts don't intrude into her mind, making her think it's all her imagination and if she looks the other way you'll dissappear.
"Y/n/n?" She murmers. "Yeah?" You softly speak, hearing the waver in her voice.
"You're always gonna be here, right?" She leans up on her elbows to look at your face.
"Of course I am, baby. Don't think for one second that I won't. I promise that you'll never be alone, I'm always going to be here for you, no matter what" you hold her face in your hands, rubbing away the dried tear tracks displayed on her cheeks with your thumbs.
"Always and forever?" She says so quietly that the only reason you heard it was because of your vamp hearing.
"Always and forever" you whisper back and place a gentle kiss to her lips.
She snuggles back in her spot, her head nuzzling into your chest, smelling traces of your lavender perfume. The scent starts soothing her into a peaceful state. At the same time your running your hands through her hair, knowing she loves the rhythm of your fingers on her head.
"Just so you know, next time Alaric brings anything up to try and win a petty argument, I'm going to kick his ass so hard he won't be able to sit for a month" you tell her in a soothing voice, making her giggle at how calm you are about what you just said.
"I don't doubt it" she says. "And you're going to get in trouble one day for calling him by his first name" she smiles, knowing your antics.
"If he wants me to call him 'Dr. Saltzman' then he has to earn my respect first, and he's not even close to it" you inform her, shaking your head at the thought of your guys' asshole of a headmaster.
"So I'm guessing never" she grins. "Correct. He's a jackass anyways" you kiss her head.
"Y/n!" She laughs.
"Hey! I'm just stating facts!" You laugh with her.
"You wanna know a secret?" You ask her and she nods her head.
You lean down to her ear and whisper, "I love you!"
She shudders from your lips grazing against her ear lightly. "I love you too" she smiles, never wanting to leave this moment
She nuzzles her head deeper into your chest, "we should stay like this forever" she whispers.
"Good idea" you say, wrapping your arms tightly around your beautiful and amazing girlfriend.
Safe to say, you guys aren't going to leave for a long time.
