Love was sometimes hard, painful and scary. You jump to the unknown without rope, without protection, just trusting and relying on the other person. Sometimes you'd fall and break something, end up alone and heartbroken, far too damaged to go back to whom you once were. Or at least, that's the way Hope Mikaelson saw it.
Other times, love was easy, joyful and warm. You'd jump with the other person, knowing nothing could happen, knowing they had your back and they would never let you go down the wrong path alone. Love was selfless and sometimes you had to be prepared to suffer for the other person, to give too much, but it was always worthy at the end. Or at least, that's the way Josie Saltzman saw it.
But when the hopeless romantic falls for the scared one, easy can become hard. When the darkness gives to the light, hard can become easy. And that's how it went.
It was once hard for the brunette girl to not go and kiss her, make her hers, let everyone him know she was hers and only hers. It was hard, until it became easy. As easy as walking towards her, gabbing her by the hand and turn her away from her conversation. Looking into her eyes for a second before pulling her in by the cheeks, making her soft lips touch hers. It was easy to hold her closer to her, as she kissed back demandingly, her arms falling to her waist. It was easy to smile when they broke the kiss, staring into each other's eyes.
It was once easy for the blue eyed girl to pretend she didn't love her. It was easy until that night, when after watching re-runs of their favorite shows they had fell in bed, cuddling and talking. Holding her so close, hearing her heartbeat, feeling her soft hand play with hers, heart her sweet voice talk about anything that went through her head, hearing that laugh that made her feel so special. It was easy to smile when she whispered to her ears those words she only had said to her family, to the ones she loved and lost: "I love you."
