Find Hope | The Originals

Chapter 29

"Kylie, what have you done" I sigh as she empties a blood bag into a glass.

"You see Hope, the thing is I should have listened to you" She pauses and drinks from her glass, "But I didn't, I thought I could handle the hyphened emotions and endless hunger but turns out I couldn't" She explains.

"Don't do this to yourself please Kylie, turn it back on" I beg her.

"I needed you Hope, when I accidentally drank too much blood, when I accidentally killed him, I needed you"

"I know and I'm so sorry I wasn't here" I apologise again for the sixth time.

"Sorry won't fix it Hope, I killed him, I broke down and just when I needed you to help me back up and be there for me, you were no where to be found" She scoffs.

"I know that Kylie, I'm so sorry I wasn't there I really am" I try to sound as genuine as possible.

"You don't even call me your best friend" She rolls her eyes falling back on to the couch, "You call me your sister, I've never had a sister but I'm pretty sure they don't abandon you when you need them most"

I look at the floor ashamed. It's so upsetting to see Kylie like this and it's my fault, if I was there for her when she needed me she wouldn't have killed him. She wouldn't have turned her humanity off.

"And were where you when I needed you?" She asks me and answers before I have the chance, "With Theo" She scoffs.

"Ky-"

Before I realise what's happening she vamp speeds towards me. She pushes me into the wall and I hit my head. She holds me by the throat against the wall. My feet can't touch the ground and I'm finding it hard to breath.

"It's always the same, perfect Hope sympathising me all the time but only because you feel bad for never being there when I need you! I'm not a sixteen year old orphaned girl that needs your or your family's help anymore, just stay out of my life!" She screams in my face.

"I..can't..breath" I gasp for air. Her eyes show no emotion as her hand tightens around my throat.

"I'm not turning it back on! Stop telling me to turn it back on because if I did decide to turn it on something like this will happen again and you won't be there to help me again!" She yells.

Two hands appear behind her head and before she has the chance to protest her neck is snapped. My legs can't support my body and I slide down against the wall. When I'm sat on the floor I pull my knees up to my chest and try to collect my thoughts.

My best friend almost killed me.

A body sits down beside me also bringing his knees to his chest. I lean into him slightly and he wraps an arm around me pulling closer.

"How did you know?" I ask him.

"You were on the phone when you first got here and you mentioned she turned her humanity off, I left and came here just incase" Harvey tells me.

"Thank you" I sigh.

"Are you okay?" He asks tilting my face towards him. His beautiful blue eyes don't leave mine as I nod and assure him I'm okay. I lean into his hand on my cheek.

"Are you sure your okay? She almost killed you and I snapped her neck in front of you"

"I'm fine, I just need Kylie to be okay"
