Hosie - I Had a Crush on you (Completed)

Chapter Ten - Loop Holes

Hope's Pov- 

I wake in the middle of the night, I'm on the couch in my room and Josie is on my bed. I think back to the day before. Josie, the girl that is so kind and so caring was able to be so cruel to her dad just because she wanted to stay here. Just because she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to fight on her own. She feels like this because of me. I get up from the couch and take a duffel bag and start throwing clothes in it and everything I could need. Once I'm finished I walk towards the door, ready to leave. Josie is standing in front of the door. "Leaving are you?" She asks with her arms crossed over her chest. 

"Josie... move out of the way" I say as emotionlessly as I can. Josie frowns but stands her ground. 

"You lied to me" She says, tears fill her eyes. "You looked me in the eye and told me that you would come back to school but here you are about to leave"

"Yes i'm leaving Josie! Because I can't do this... I can't be with you. I see how scared you are to fight these monsters and I'll tell you now. I am Klaus Mikaelson's daughter and that's going to get you killed" I say. I try to push past her but she pushes me back into the room. 

"I'll be fine" She says. 

"My father was as immortal as anyone could be and he died, he won't come back. My mum, a hybrid is dead. Usually they could die and come back... but now they are dead forever... I will never see them again. These were two immortal beings that were ridiculously hard to kill " I explain to her. "But you..." I step closer to her and tuck a piece of hair behind her ear. "You're... you could die... just like that" I click my fingers. "And I..." tears come to my eyes. "I don't think I'll ever be able to deal with that, I don't think I could live in a world without you in it. Because Josie, if you die... you're not coming back ten minutes later... if you die, you'll be gone" I say with tears rolling down my cheeks. 

"I'm here Hope, right now... you need to live in the moment" She says as she wipes my tears away.  I put both my hands on her face and kiss her, the taste of salt touches our lips as the tears continue to fall. I pull away and tuck her hair behind her ear. 

"I love you... I think I always have. I just couldn't admit it to myself" I say to her.

"Then why are you leaving?" she asks, tears forming in her own eyes. 

"because I can't bare to see anything happen to you" 

"Okay, just kiss me one more time... please" She says, tears falling down her face. I kiss her softly and pull away. It's not enough for her, she pulls me back in and kisses me again. I pull her body into mine, not able to resist. After a while I force myself to pull away, as much as I would have liked this to go further... I can't. 

"goodbye Josie" I say before walking out the door. 

"Hope..." She says. I turn and look at her, waiting for her to speak. "I Love you too"

Josie's Pov- 

It's been weeks since I said goodbye to Hope in New Orleans. Mg comes back today, as dad allowed him to stay in New Orleans because Marcel insisted that it would be good for him. In the time Marcel was able to teach Mg control and all the cool perks of being a vampire. Lizzie is still mad at me for leaving without telling her, we are slowly getting back to normal but every now and then she reminds me of what I did. I try to keep to myself as much as I can but it's hard when I have to share a room with Lizzie. Dad still brings it up too, how I became rebellious and he won't let me out of the school grounds at all. 

I am sitting in front of the fire place in the entrance area when Mg walks in. I look at him for a moment before running up and hugging him. "I've missed you so much" I say. Mg chuckles and hugs me back. 

"I've missed you too, I think I have this vampire ripper thing under control though" He says with a smile.

"that's good" I say with a smile. "Have you heard from Hope?" I ask.

"No, not really. I mean she has contacted her family but she seems to be all over the place these days" He explains. "I couldn't tell you where she is"

"I don't want to know where she is... I just want to know how she is. It's lonely out in that world all alone"

Hope's Pov- 

I had been gone for about a week when I decided that I wanted to go back and I almost did before I ran into Caroline Forbes. She explained to me what would happen to the twins when they turn twenty-two and I wanted to help.

"So you're telling me that Gemini twins have to merge, meaning that either Josie or Lizzie have to die?" I ask. Caroline lets out a sigh and nods. "But there has to be a way to stop it, they can't do that... Josie could die" I say. I know it seems like I don't care about Lizzie but I do, I don't want either of them to die. "do they know about this? about the merge?" 

"No and I don't plan to tell them unless it is absolutely necessary. I hope that I can find a loop hole to this" She says. She has bags under her eyes, like she is under a lot of stress. 

"There is a loop hole in everything, the question is... can you find it fast enough?"
