"You asked me once if love is really worth it." Hope held her head up, her eyes dark. "I have my answer."

"Yeah? What is it?" Emma sounded hopeful, awaiting the news of Hopes fairly new relationship. "My answer is no, no love is not worth it." She stood up from the couch. "And neither are our sessions."

She walked out, knowing Emma couldnt stop her. That she wouldn't.

On her way down the hall she felt a pair of eyes on her, she glanced back watching the wolf quickly look away. She sighed, walking up to the girl. "What are you keeping from me, Maya?"

"Uh.." She gulped down the lump in her throat, still not looking at the auburnette. "Spill" She demanded.

"Raf and I.." She looked up. "We're sort've dating."

Hopes eyes widened, she assumed whatever the girl was keeping would be bad. Would ruin her day more but this..She squinted her eyes, trying to make sure the girl wasn't lying. "Why would you keep that from me?"

"I know you two slept together, I wasn't sure if you had feelings for him. Hes also in your pack, I wasn't sure—"

The auburnette held her hand up. "I don't care, free will Maya, free will" She shook her head, leaving the scene. That was a complete waste of time, waste of her existence. She shook her head, slamming the picture of her family on the ground. Watching as the pieces of glass flew in every direction. "So much for Always and Forever" She spat, angrily running her hands through her hair.

It took all of her courage to tell the brunette she loved her, to give love a chance. Just for it to get thrown in her face, just for it to be her demise once again. She shouted, letting the magic spew from out of her as she fell to her knees. Wanting to do anything and everything just to not let the tears escape her.

"Hope?" Penelope tightened her jaw, standing halfway in the girls room. "What do you want?" Hope asked, not particularly liking the girl.

"I heard the scream" She pointed out, looking at the mess. "Whats going on?"

"Like you care, Park" She spat, taking a stand and trying to control her usually calm composure. "I don't but you're putting the school in danger with this foolishness. Don't let your anger control you."

Hope sped over to the girl, letting the veins pop from under her eyes. A way to spread fear throughout her bones. The ravenette stood her ground, looking the Tribrid down. Out of all her hate for this girl, she knew deep down she never wanted to hurt anyone. She knew that she wasn't actually a villain, she was just hurt. Hurt in a way Penelope couldn't even understand. She tightened her jaw. "You don't scare me, Mikaelson"

The girl scoffed, poking her chest. "Tell that to your heart rate."

Penelope took a step back. "Is this about Josie? Are you on a spiral because she rejected you?"

Hope shook her head, she wanted to rip the ravenettes head off. To tear her apart limb from limb. "Fuck you" She went to slam her door shut but Penelope caught it, shoving herself in the room.

"I fell for Josie many times over. I know the pain that comes with falling for her" She explained, using a more inviting tone. "But she does love you."

"I don't care"

"But you do, otherwise you wouldn't be acting like a ticking time bomb."

"I said I dont care, don't push me."

"You're not going to get any better keeping your feelings bottled up like this, isn't this what the therapy is for? To help?"

Hope chuckled, walking towards the girl with a bright idea on what would help. "You're right." She mumbled, looking the girl over. "But there are other ways I can release it."
