***************

Saw you walk inside a bar
He said something to make you laugh
I saw that both your smiles were twice as wide as ours
Yeah, you look happier, you do

It hurt, it hurt so much. Josie could not believe it, even if she knew it would eventually happen, she begged heaven to be mistaken. But the moment she saw her walk inside the Mystic Grill. With her beautiful smile lighting the place, that damned smile that was not for her anymore. That was the moment it really hit Josie, it was over. She blew her change with her, and she knew it, and it killed her.

Ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you
But ain't nobody love you like I do
Promise that I will not take it personal, baby
If you're moving on with someone new

The day was still fresh on her mind, that stupid fight, those stupid words. Josie wasn't one to say mean things, but she had a temper too. She was mostly nice and always trying her hardest to make people around her happy, it was so out of character for her. But she remembers it. She remembers the screams and the tears. She remembers Hope saying some hurtful things, but nothing compared to the ones that left her mouth before she could process them . She remembers those six words: " maybe that's why everyone leaves you".

Sat on the corner of the room
Everything's reminding me of you
Nursing an empty bottle and telling myself you're happier
Aren't you?

Lizzie had thrown the party to lift everyone's spirits. The tension on the school was obvious; the golden couple had broken up. The news spread everywhere very fast, in less than three hours everyone heard rumors.

"You can't stay here all night, Jo."

"Watch me." And that's all she said. She rejected Lizzie's pleads for her to dance or make small talk with the rest of them. She rolled her eyes Raphael's advances and ignored Penelope's jokes.

All her eyes, her senses, could focus was on the couple on the other side of the room. On her laugh and smile. The way she'd giggle before taking a sip of her red cup. The way she'd move when he had her pressing against him, dancing to the loud music. The way she wasn't hers anymore, but his.

And remembering herself of that fact, she took another swing of the bottle on her hand, hoping to drown her sorrow and regret .

But I guess you look happier, you do
My friends told me one day I'd feel it too
I could try to smile to hide the truth
I know I was happier with you

Two months from that day, from that fight. Josie was still hurting, angry at herself and angry at her, allowing herself to be that selfish once in her life. She focus her eyes on the short haired girl in front of her, trying to make sense to her words. She had promised her that the pain will pass, and that with time, it'll feet better. That she'll find someone else too, that maybe things weren't meant to happen. But Josie scoffed at that, she knew it was bullshit.

There was no way she'd happier with someone else. She wouldn't feel the way she had felt when Hope would kiss, play with her hair, whisper sweet nothings on her hear. She would never feel the same warmth than when she would cuddle her up on her bed. She would never feel that joy when late night talked will catch them. No, Josie knew those moments were the happiest she had ever been.

Baby, you look happier, you do
I knew one day you'd fall for someone new
But if breaks your heart like lovers do
Just know that I'll be waiting here for you

Hope Mikaelson looked happy, and that was someone thing made Josie happy too. She looked lovely as ever, but not on her arms. She had fallen –or at least was falling- for someone new, for someone else.

He was good for her, or so he seemed. He made her laugh, blush and smile. That was something herself had failed to do, she had hurt her, one thing she promised she would never do.

That was the moment Josie decided to let her go, to let her be happy and let herself be selfish for her. But that didn't mean the brunette girl had any intentions of moving on. Josie waited; she waited the moment Hope would slip away from his arms, back to hers. She waited the moment where he'd hurt her, just as she hurt her, and she would be there to help her up again.

Josie would forever wait the moment she would be the one to make Hope Mikaelson happier again.
