Hosie~ One Shots

Betrayal

Hope Mikaelson and Josie Saltzman had been inseparable for two years. Their relationship had weathered many storms, but their love had only grown stronger. They were the heart of the Salvatore School for the Young and Gifted, their bond a beacon of hope for all their friends.

Everything changed with the arrival of a new student, Landon Kirby. With his boyish charm and persistent flirtations, he quickly developed an interest in Hope. Despite his advances, Hope always reassured Josie that she had no interest in him or anyone else. Josie trusted Hope completely, believing in the strength of their love.

One night, the school hosted a party in the forest, a tradition among the students. Hope arrived early and went to get something to drink. As she sipped her punch, Landon approached her with his usual grin.

"Hey Hope, wanna dance?" he asked, his eyes twinkling.

Hope smiled politely but shook her head. "No, thanks. I'm waiting for Josie."

Landon shrugged and handed her another cup of punch. "Suit yourself. How's the drink?"

Hope took a sip and looked at him, feeling a strange warmth spread through her body. "It's good," she said, her voice trailing off as she found herself unable to look away from him.

Landon's grin widened. "Great. Wanna dance now?"

Without hesitation, Hope nodded. "Sure."

As they danced, Hope felt an inexplicable pull towards Landon. She couldn't understand what was happening. They moved closer, and suddenly, he leaned in and kissed her. She didn't resist, her mind foggy and her willpower gone.

Just then, Josie arrived with her sister Lizzie. Josie scanned the crowd, searching for Hope. When she saw her girlfriend kissing Landon, her heart shattered. Tears welled up in her eyes as she pointed towards them. "I thought she loved me," Josie whispered, her voice breaking.

Lizzie was equally shocked. "Josie, wait!" she called as Josie turned and ran back to the school. Lizzie watched her sister disappear into the night, then turned her attention to Hope and Landon. She marched over to them, anger radiating off her.

"Hope, what the hell are you doing?" Lizzie shouted, shoving them apart.

Hope blinked, confusion clouding her features. "Lizzie, what are you talking about?"

Lizzie's eyes blazed. "What am I talking about? What are you doing with this fire chicken?"

Hope's eyes cleared as she looked at Landon and realized what she had done. "Oh my gosh. Landon, what did you do? What was in that drink?"

Landon grinned smugly. "Nothing special, just a love potion. I have to say, you kiss really well."

Hope's anger flared. She punched him in the face, drawing blood. "I hate you!"

Lizzie grabbed Hope's arm. "Josie saw you two kissing and ran off back to the school..."

Tears filled Hope's eyes. "She'll think I wanted to kiss him. I need to find her and make things right."

Lizzie nodded. "She's probably in our room. You need to work this out. For Josie's happiness and for yours."

"I will, I promise," Hope said, sprinting towards the school.

Lizzie turned to Landon, who was nursing his bleeding nose. "Now let's deal with you, Bird Boy..."

Landon looked at her fearfully as Lizzie grinned wickedly.

Hope reached the twins' room and found the door locked. She knocked frantically. "Baby, it's me. Please open the door."

There was no answer.

She leaned her head against the door, her voice trembling. "Jo, please, let me explain. It's not what it looked like, I swear."

Still, there was no response.

Hope sighed. "Okay, then please step away from the door when I kick it in."

Suddenly, the door opened, revealing Josie with tears streaming down her face. Hope's heart ached at the sight. She slowly approached, but Josie stepped back, her eyes filled with hurt.

"Please, just hear me out," Hope pleaded, holding her hands up in surrender.

Josie's voice was a mix of pain and anger. "Let you explain what? That it didn't look like you and Landon were kissing each other at the party?! I told you he was into you, but I never thought you would ever hurt me like that. Ever."

Hope felt a surge of guilt and desperation. "You didn't see what happened after... Lizzie came and separated us. When my head cleared, I realized Landon had given me a drink laced with a love potion. I was hypnotized. He kissed me, but I didn't want to. I would never want to hurt you. You're the most important person in my life. Without you, I'm nothing. There's no Hope Mikaelson without her Josie Saltzman.
I love you so much it drives me crazy when I don't see you. Just looking at you brings color to my dark world. I love you, Josette Olivia Saltzman, and I'm incredibly sorry for hurting you, even though I promised never to."

Hope moved closer and took Josie's hands in hers. Josie looked deep into Hope's eyes and saw only honesty and love. Overwhelmed, Josie grabbed Hope by the neck and kissed her deeply before pulling away slightly. "I believe you."

Hope's eyes widened. "Really?"

Josie stroked Hope's cheeks. "Yes. I believe you. You've never lied to me once in our entire relationship, not even before. I know I can trust you with my life and that you'll always be there for me and protect me."

Hope smiled and kissed her deeply. "I love you."

"I love you too," Josie responded, pulling Hope into a tight embrace. They stood there, holding each other, knowing that their love had survived another trial and that nothing could tear them apart.

The following weeks were challenging as Hope and Josie worked to rebuild their trust. They talked openly about their fears and insecurities, and each conversation brought them closer together. Landon was expelled from the school for his actions, and peace slowly returned to the Salvatore School.

Hope and Josie's love grew stronger, and they became even more inseparable. They faced each new challenge with the knowledge that their bond was unbreakable, their love unwavering.
