"You got no stalking skills, dear mother" - I said with bit of sarcasm and mocking in my voice as I raised an eyebrow.

"Hope" - she said when she turned around and actually saw who is behind her. She seemed surprised and happy in same time. There was some awkward silence between us for few minutes.

"I am glad you know my name" - I said mockingly. Some people would say that I am being mean but I don't think that is true, it is just that I don't know her, I never knew her as my mother and I don't remember her. And the reason that I'm "mean" to her is simple, I'm mean to everyone - it is just a part of my personality now - or at least I like to think that way. But that isn't really true. It's more like if I let my biological parents in, I have a feeling I will dissoner memory on parents that actually raised me.

"You grew up so much" - she said as she stared at me.

"Yes, people actually change in 17 years" - I stated. I saw tears in her eyes. I felt like she wanted to hug me or something, but then emotions would rushed in and I would have to destroy my living room too and my grandmother wouldn't like it. She barely forgave me for my room ... oh wait... she didn't. So, to prevent that I took few steps back.

"Hope... I would like to get to know you" - she said.

"Yea.. that is not going to happen" - I said kind of emotionless. I was proud of my tone that didn't gave away storm that I felt inside me. I hate when other people see how I feel, see me crying or angry. I wasn't like it before my parents died, but I never liked other people pity me so I just decided that it's easier not to show any emotions. I like to keep it to myself now.

"You haven't even given us a chance" - she said as I tried to walk away, but she didn't let me. And in that moment I realized that "my mother" looks only few years older than me. That's just weird.

"That's because I don't have to and also maybe because my so - called father tried to rip my hart out when I met him, so...." - I said as I managed to turn around from her and started to walk away. I'm probably gonna regret this.


Hayley's POV

I watched her as she left with no emotions showing on her face, just cold expression. She reminded me of Klaus when closes himself in his ridiculous little world not wanting to talk to anyone. She might not want to know me, but I'm not giving up. My little girl is alive and I'm gonna get her back. I'll make up for all those lost years and memories. I just need her to try too. This is all Klaus's  fault. If there wasn't for him...

"Hayley, is there a reason why you stand on a street alone?" - Elijah said. I didn't know how he got here because I didn't see or hear him coming.

"There was, but now it's gone" - I said with sad voice.

"Let's get you back home" - he said and I obeyed.


Hope's POV

Okay, okay, just don't think about Hayley. She didn't raised you, but.... on the other side, she didn't have a choice, she was a wolf and... ugh... don't think about it. You are just going to think you made a wrong decision by pushing her away and then you're going to cry and that is not good... men I talk to myself alot lately, and that is okay because my friends are nowhere to be seen and that is absolutely great. Just when I needed someone to talk to. Anyways where to hell am I? I tuned around and figure out that I have no freaking idea. Well let's just go right, then left...and then.. it's a dead end. GREAT! 

I stood there for few minutes trying to think of something to get me out of here. Then I got an idea. I searched my pockets to find my phone.

"Siri, where am I?" - I asked my phone.

"You are near jazz bar"

"Oh, really? How to hell did I missed that?"

"You.." - Siri started but I cut her off.

"Don't answer that" - I said quickly.

"Okay, where do I go now?"

- Few minutes later -

"We are here" - Siri said as I stood infront of jazz bar.

"Okay, now go to sleep"

"I don't need...", she started to say but I cut her of by turning my phone off.

I walked in and... You now that feeling when you see a friend that you tried to hard to ignore and avoid? Yeah, that is how I feel everytime, I mean everytime I see Rebekah, but this time she wasn't alone. Marcel was with her. He had one of his hands around her waist and with the other he was moving a stray lock of hair. They were giggling at each other and I would be in my fangirl mood, because they are so cute - seriously, and their love story is awesome - but I saw my mother dearest today. So, I tried to run away and not ruin the perfect moment. I do that alot since I came in New Orleans. Anyways, Rebekah saw me. And before I knew I was sitting next to Rebekah and she already send Marcel away. See, that is girl power.

"It is nice to see you, Hope" - She said.

"Mhm" - I said sounding like a rebel. I am proud of myself.

"Hope, I know you don't wanna see me right now..." - she started but I cut her off.

"You are absolutely right" - I said but she just gave me a small smirk and she took something from her bag.

"This is letter your mother wrote when she was pregnant, you should read it" - she said.

"Oh yes, I'm gonna read it, and then I'll use my unicorn to meet her on unicorn island."

"It is your choice" - She said and left leaving the letter on the table. 

For few moments I just stared at it. I won't read it ....or maybe I should... oh what a hell. I am going to read it. I opened letter and started reading: 

  To my little girl.

    Dear Zoe...or Kaitlyn...or Angela. Your dad just asked if this was a love letter. I guess it kind of is. I never got to know my mother. I have no idea what she must have thought when she carried me. So, I thought I'd write to you, so you can know how happy I am at this very moment. How much your father and I can't wait to meet you...And, I want to make you a promise, of three things that you will have that I never did: a safe home, someone to tell you that they love you every single day, and someone to fight for you, no matter what. In other words, a family. So, there you go, baby girl. The rest, we're going to have to figure out together. 

I love you. 

Your mom.

When I read it my eyes were full of tears and...

"A love letter?" - a familiar voice said. I turned around and saw...
