I Would Never Do That To You

4: Already Gone

Josie's POV -

My eyelids slowly fluttered open to be harshly greeted by the unforgiving rays of the sun. I groaned as I rolled over in the bed to come face to face with none other than Penelope Park. My jaw unhinged as I stared at her sleeping peacefully before me. My brain flooded with questions and my face with tears. I knew it couldn't be real. I knew that I was hallucinating, or dreaming. I squeezed my eyes shut, and shrieked as I felt a searing pain in my chest. I could feel my heart throb, and it felt like it was jumping out of my throat. Tears were still flowing down my face in streams and I was scared to open my eyes. I stayed there sobbing for what felt like hours until I felt something touch my forearm. I heard her voice. Soft and angelic. I heard her speak and it hurt me even more. I opened my eyes and she was gone.

I felt like there was a hole in my heart and my lungs stopped working. I wailed and sulked for the rest of the day. I had a killer headache and an even worse heart ache. I hated myself for it. I felt weak because I did nothing all day except cry and cry. I felt vaunerable because all my protective walls were brojen down, but the strongest thing that I felt was not being loved. No one came looking for me all day even though it was obvious where I was. No one texted or called. No one cared and the only person who might have left. Forever.

I jolted up in a sudden surge of energy and wiped my tears away. I opened the door and ran out. I had no clue where my body was leading me, but I was happy to take my mind off Penelope for the brief period of time. I had completely forgotten that I was practically naked as I rushed out, but it was too late to turn back.

My recently shaved legs were getting cold at this late hour since I had oh so idioticly run out wearing nothing but a jumper and underwear. Nonetheless I powered through the attempting not to injur my bare feet on my way to my destination.

When I spotted my target across the hall, my vision locked on them and I took a deep breath before surging over to attack. I pounced on my victim catching their lips with mine. This seemed to surprised them considering it was out of nowhere. I was questioning myself throughout the whole experience about what on earth I was doing. Had I just kissed Hope Mikaelson? Oh God had I gone Crazy? She had a BOYFRIEND!! My thoughts didn't matter too much though in the heat of the moment. All that did, was being good at what I was doing. I drew closer to close the distance between us and lifted my hands to cup her cheeks.

When my grip finnaly loosened, she pulled back hastily with a confused expression spread across her face. I was sure her reaction wouldn't be good, so I prepared myself for the worst. After a long pause she opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out.

I was suddenly tackled and thrust against the wall behind me by her boyfriend. He must have seen what happened. Panic began to settle in as I realised this was going to be worse than anything I imagined. I forgot that Landon existed for a little while, but I guess this was his resurface to make me miserable. He had fire in his eyes and smoke was coming out of his ears. He was about burst into a fit of rage as he growled at me aggressively. He bashed my head harder against the stone was making it bleed. I winced as he raised his fist in the air to strike me across the face.

Hope screamed at him to stop, seeming slightly preoccupied with something else, but I wasn't sure what. He didn't listen and it made her scream louder and louder.
"That's it Landon, We're done!" She yelled at the top of her lungs releasing a sound wave that threw him away from me. That was all Hope did before running off with an anxious expression on her face.

I knew Landon was gonna get back up eventually and attack, but I didn't move. I was frozen. I was sweating bullets at the thought of my head being bashed in. No one was gonna save me now.

I was screwed.
