High school love

The New Orleans trip

*Hope's pov*
My relationship with Josie developed so fast. Soon we were officially girlfriends and I guess what? I was the first one to say I love you.

Today was the last day before Christmas break. I was going back to New Orleans to visit my family: marcel and Rebekah were back from Europe, Kol and Davina were also back for the holidays and Freya and Keelin, they bought a big house in New Orleans last year and that's where I am staying for an entire week. Actually, I'm not going to be the only one staying there because Alaric said it was okay if Josie came with me. We were both thrilled. I was excited to see my family again and she was nervous to meet them all for the first time. But to be fair, the Mikaelsons are renowned to be bad so i can't understand why she was worried, but we actually aren't evil. I told Josie that my dad, Klaus, my uncle, Elijah, and my mom, Hayley, all died. She was really comprehensive about it and it made me love her even more.

We both told everyone goodbye after we were done packing for the holidays. I drove all the way to New Orleans and when we arrived, Marcel, Rebekah, Keelin and Freya all greeted us. I was so happy to see them all again.
"I missed you, my favorite niece!" said Rebekah as she hugged me
"Oh Hope! You grew up so much!" exclaimed Marcel waiting for his turn to hug me because Rebekah was taking a really, really long time.
"How have you been" asked Freya. "You look so happy" she added.
Keelin simply hugged me.
When I was done hugging them all, they all looked at Josie with a serious look. I noticed that Josie started to be really nervous and she looked at me with a look saying "I don't know what to do please help me"
They all started laughing and Rebekah was the first one to hug her. They all did the same thing and when it was Freya's turn, I heard her whispering "thank you for making my baby Hope happy again" in her ear. Keelin show us our room and the rest of their (gigantic) house. Me and Josie left the house to walk around the city. "I already adore every member of your family!" she said. We continued walking around until the sun started to settle down. When we walked in the gardens of the house, I heard a weird sound in the bushes. Suddenly, a vampire jumped out of the bushes and attacked Josie. He was about to bite her when I grab him by his neck and left him 3 feet above the ground.
"Who are you?" I asked putting more pressure on his throat. He laughed and didn't answer. I started chocking him and when he was about to faint I threw him on the ground. "Who are you and what do you want?!" I kept asking, getting angrier everytime. I started hitting him once, then twice, then three times until his face was almost entirely bleeding. I felt so much anger inside of me. I couldn't stop hitting him and I was about to kill him when Marcel and Rebekah got here. Marcel separated me from him and Rebekah took care of Josie. They both looked at me with a weird look like if they saw me for the first time. I ran back to the house but when I opened the door, I knocked it on somebody's back.
"Ouch" said the girl. I immediately recognized her, it was Davina! "Omg Davina I'm sorry!" I said, covering my mouth with my hands. "Come here" she said, opening her arms to hug me. After a couple minutes of talking she tells me "Is everything alright Hope? You look weird" she asked. My face got serious in half a second. "I just did something terrible in front of my girlfriend.." I said as my eyes got teary. "I'm scared that she won't talk to me ever again after what I did" I said about to cry. "If Davina would've stop talking to me everytime I did something wrong, we would not be here together, darling" said my uncle Kol as he walked in the room. "Kol!" I said as a ran to hug him. "We observed Josie and she's not the type of girl to give up when she faces difficulties." Davina added. "I hope so..." I whispered to myself. "I'm going up in my room, if somebody's looking for me, tell them I'm upstairs." I said. They both nodded and watched me walk up the stairs.

I layed on my bed trying to think about the reason why I got so angry. Josie makes me so happy and I love my life with her. I don't remember the last time I felt this wave of anger in my body. Lost in my thoughts, I fell asleep.
