The next week Hope was back at school doing regular things that she does at school. She hadn't been at therapy yet, but she would be soon as her parents already talked to her about going, and with that she agreed to go as Jonah helped her.

Jonah and Hope had been talking more and more. The guys were taking a break as they were at home in Los Angeles. Jonah promised to come see Hope again in a few weeks and check up on her.

Jaylen and her other friends didn't start messing with Hope again, as they would wait when Hope had been down for the week and took down her account already, which they were happy by that as for a start.

"Honey, promise you at not mad at me for putting you through therapy" Mrs. Jackson said. Mr. Jackson didn't like the thought of his daughter going to therapy, but Hope insisted as she thought it would be good for her.

"I'm not mom. I think it'll be able to help with what's been going on recently" Hope said with a small half smile. The couple and their daughter walked into the office room of the therapy building and checked in. Hope was brought back moments after to the back to a nice room that had couches and seats.

"Hello Hope, I am Michaela and I will be your counselor and I am always here for you. This isn't a bad place, it's just to talk things through and go over what's going on with you and you only. Please take a seat" the lady, Michaela, pointed Hope to the couch.

"Thank you" Hope said quietly sitting down and watching the lady sit down and grab a pen and paper.

"Alright well let's get started."

"Did it go alright?" Mrs. Jackson asked as the family walked into the house. Hope nodded not talking about anything that happened, as she didn't want to talk about her brother anymore to anyone.

Hope walked upstairs slowly, even though she wanted to run, and walked into her room grabbing her phone and sitting down on the bed.

How did it go?

Hope
It was alright.
They made me talk about things
in my past that I didn't want to talk abt.

J <3
Wanna talk about it?

Hope
No thanks, I'm good.
How are you by the way?

J <3
I'm good. The boys are going nuts
over here. Our families are here so we
are hanging out. I wish you could be
here to meet them.

Hope
Aw. I wish I was to, but I have school

J <3
Yeah I know

Hope
Yeah, sad.

Hope wished she was with Jonah hanging out with the other guys and their families. She wish she didn't have to be in an environment like hers, she wanted to be somewhere she could feel safe and have fun.

Even though Jaylen and everyone else was leaving Hope alone, they still would give her looks and Hope could already tell they would talk behind her back.

Nothing would ever make the feeling of Hope wanting to be with Jonah and hanging out.

It had been two weeks of Hope going to therapy. She was drained and didn't want to go anymore. She had to talk about her brother, and what's been going on with her and Jaylen. She was tired of going. She wanted to go away and not deal with anyone anymore.

Hope Jackson walked to her room after school and therapy and sat on her bed taking in a deep breath in and out. Hope grabbed her phone and pulled up her recent messages and began texting.

Hope
Hey J, are you still in LA?

J <3
Yeah I am for a few more weeks.
What's up?

Hope
I need to get out of here, and I'm not
joking. Everything is shit and I am done
with it all.

J <3
So what your saying is your coming
to LA...?

Hope
I don't know. Is it alright with you if I
come and stay their with you guys?

J <3
Yeah ofc. When are you leaving?

Hope
Tonight. I have money saved up and I'm
coming their. I'm not staying anymore
Jonah. I'm sorry if I'm just getting in the
way of everything..

J <3
Hope it's fine. Honestly. I'll be here at
the airport when you arrive :))

Hope
Thank you

And with that Hope began packing without hesitation and when her parents told her goodnight, a hour later she left the house getting a uber and heading to the airport.
