I Would Never Do That To You

5: I believe you

3rd Person POV -

The blonde cheerily skipped down the corridor with a bouquet of flowers in her hands. She was bursting with joy because she was going on a date - or at least that's what she thought. When she came closer to her date's dorm room, she mentally scolded herself. She was way too early, but she couldn't help it, she was too excited. When she was only a couple steps away from the meet up area she was delighted to see her date waiting for her.

A massive smile grew on her face as she was about to rush forward, but what happened next made her stop dead in her tracks. The girl she was approaching was assaulted by some other girl. The two before her locked lips and she couldn't believe her eyes. She felt her heart drop through the floor and her head began to ache.

The two people kissing were Hope Mikaelson - the blonde's date - and Josette Saltzman - her sister. The two pulled away from each other and Elizabeth Saltzman - the blonde herself - suddenly unfroze. She rushed away with tears in her eyes not caring about what anyone thought. She was sure Hope had seen her standing there frozen, but she didn't need her excuses or explanations. All she needed was to cool off.

Lizzie's POV -

As I began to pick up my pace I bumped into someone throwing them to the floor. It was Rafael. He looked at me with a puzzled stare and began to apologize. I rolled my eyes at him and started to continue forward. He mutter some insult under his breath and I spun round on my heel.

"What did you just say!" I spat out in a hostile manner.

"Jeez," he began "Chill, you don't have to have an episod-"

I started foaming at the mouth like a feral dog. Funny how he was the werewolf here and I was the one acting dog-like.

"Bite your tongue you dumb mut!" I yelled at him with tears in my eyes.

He had hurt me enough by breaking my heart he didn't have to step on my pride too. I ran away from the situation with a stream of tears spilling down my face. I knew that it was a bad idea to head to the kitchen because I wouldn't leave a single plate whole. They would all be smashed to bits. The only place I could go with out leaving colossal damage was the woods and that's where I went.

The woods were secluded and safe no one would find me there, because we weren't really allowed to go there and no one knew where I went. I ran further into the woods to be as far away from the school as possible still holding the rose in my hand. It was silly to think for even a second that Hope liked me back. We barely had a relationship before the pagent and here I was expecting her to be hopelessly in love with me. The forest shook with my every step and and that was only a fraction of what would happen to my surroundings.

When I was angry I had so much power. I could knock down trees with the sound of my screams and by moving a finger and saying a word I could make all the branches around me fly off. I continued walking until I thought I was far enough to not be followed or noticed.

I threw myself to the ground and sobbed. Why was I always so emotional? Why could I never control myself? Why?

I couldn't believe that Hope would do something like that to me and I was mad at Josie too. I thought she got back together with Satan or some shit so why was she going after my girl. My Hope. I ran through the scenario in my mind thinking all the worst thoughts possible neglecting all sense or sanity. Are Hope and Josie dating? Was the most reoccurring question that popped into my mind. My judgement was evidently clouded by my emotions so I wouldn't see sense or even try understand the truth. To me it felt like I had hard facts that Hope left me for Josie. The better twin. The smarter twin. The more powerful twin. The more beautiful twin. The more stable twin. The fact that I was crying in the woods was reason enough to me for Hope to think I was crazy. To think I was bonkers; insane. What was wrong with me? Why couldn't I be normal. Why couldn't I be like everyone else?

No one cared about me. I felt like my heart was shattering and the pieces were being shriveled into smaller pieces every passing second. No one wanted to be around me.

Hope's POV -

I screamed at Landon to stop. He was hurting her. Lizzie had just run away with tears in her eyes and I knew I had to go after her. I had to make a choice wheater to save Josie from Landon or to save Lizzie from herself. They were both in danger and I couldn't choose who to save. After deciding that Lizzie could do more damage than Landon I blast him back and ran off. He would be unconscious for long enough for Josie to escape... I hoped it was long enough.

I rushed away and down the hall. I didn't know where Lizzie was, but I knew I had to keep running. I continued down the hall when I caught a glimpse of Rafael. I knew wouldn't hurt to try asking him so that's what I did.
"Hey, Raf have you seen Lizzie anywhere?" I panted.
He rolled his eyes at me and I gave him a glare in reply.
"She bumped into me, the screamed at me and the started crying." He stated blandly with an apathetic expression across his face.
How could he be so insestive?
I stood there staring at him in silence for a while until I realised where Lizzie had probably gone. The woods. She went there when she needed to wolf out and she did seem to be experiencing a range of emotions.

I ran away without another word to the werewolf and speed down the hall to the nearest exit. I squeezed my eyes shut and waved my arms side to side as I almost toppled over as I cut a sharp corner. When I finally left the building I tried to seem nonchalant. I didn't want to draw any attention to myself as I snuck off beyond the premises of the school. When I reached the tree line I broke into another sprint. I ran and ran and ran until I could barely feel my legs. I considered taking a break, but then decided against it. I needed to find Lizzie.

I wasn't even sure I was running in the right direction. My actions seemed futile, but I had a gut instinct the led to where I stoped dead in my tracks. I took a deep breath and a couple silent steps forward and that's when I saw a glimpse of silvery blonde hair. I approached her quietly and slowly doing my best to not draw her attention to where I was.

Lizzie's POV -

I was crying silently. I had salty rivers flooding down my face and my eyes stung. Why did I have to be so stupid and fall for the same person as my sister. She was obviously more beautiful. Stronger willed. Smarter. Less problematic. I just wanted to disappear.

I planed on staying in the woods for the rest of the night and maybe slipping away to my room during class. No one would notice my disappearance or even care about it for that matter. Why would they? My mind was poisoned with negative thoughts. Self hatred rushing through my veins and straight into my heart. If it could even be considered a heart after all the monstrous things I had done. I didn't tell my sister Penelope was gonna leave and I never treated her right. I didn't deserve her. She didn't deserve to be the twin sister of someone so horrible.

Suddenly I heard a twig snap. I turned my head swiftly in the direction of the noise and wiped my tears not yet noticing who it was. When I saw the auburn, brown hair and the crystal blue eyes a puzzled expression appeared on my face. The girl threw herself at me and hugged me tight. She said some reassuring words in my ear and held my as I cried.
"I'm here for you Lizzie," she whispered softly.
"And I'm not going anywhere," she continued.

She started telling me about what really happened between her and Josie considering she knew that that was the reason I was crying. She reassured me that she didn't have a clue what Josie was doing and that she didn't want to kiss her. After her whole speech I wiped my tears away and answered with a soft smile.
"I believe you"
