After I experience the whole Genie situation it made me realize that we need Hope, I need Hope. I always hated her for telling everyone about my "episode" but now that I know that it wasn't her I started seeing her in a different way. Everytime my eyes met with hers I would get nervous and my heart would start beating fast. I tried to ignore it as long as possible but I don't know if I could keep it in any longer. I love her... but she can't know that.

"Hey Josie, have you seen Lizzie she's been acting really weird lately and I just want to make sure she's ok" i said concerned
"Um actually now that you mention it I haven't seen her all day she hasn't came back to our room"
"That's weird, ok thanks Josie" i said
I knew that I had to go look for her. I started thinking of the many places Lizzie could be at but only 1 kept repeating in my mind. I remember her talking about a small hill that overlooks the town not to far from here, she said she goes there when she needs to clear her head.
It took me about 20 minutes to get to the top of the hill, and that's when I saw her sitting up against the tree looking at the small town, she looks so beautiful with the sun hitting her against her skin, wait why am I thinking that I mean I'm straight, right?
Lizzie's P.O.V
I noticed a small shadow about 5 feet away from me and when I looked to see Hope staring at me, she looked confused?, I don't know.
"Hey Hope what are you doing here?" I said startling her, "Sorry, i didn't mean to scare you" i said
"No it's ok i was just thinking, and as for what I'm doing here I was looking for you, I was getting worried cuz no one has seen you all day" she said
"I've just been thinking here all day" i said overlooking the town how beautiful it looks up here, but not as beautiful as her.

" I brought some pie incase you were hungry" she said
"What kind?" I asked
"Key lime pie of course, you're favorite" she said with a cute smile
"Yeah my favorite, come sit here next to me" i said confidently
"Ok" she said shyly
"So you were worried for me?" I asked
"Yeah you've been acting out of character since you faced the genie, i wanted to know if it had anything to do with me" she said
"Um" i started getting nervous and not meeting her eye
"Hey, it's ok, look at me you can tell me anything" she said putting her finger on my chin to make me look at her
"Hope?" I said in a low whisper, we were both now getting closer to eachother
"Mhm" she responded her face inches away from mine
"I need you" i said quietly
Her eyes started flickering down to my lips and so did mine. I don't know if I was the one starting to lean in or if it was her but in that moment i just needed her.
Hope's P.O.V
I don't know what I was doing, but all I knew was that I wanted her, I needed her. So i closed in the gap, and I have never felt like this for somebody ever. It felt like the whole world stopped and it was just us two. Slowly after a while we pulled away.
"Wow" i said a little out of breath
"Yeah, wow" she said
"I need you too Lizzie" i said to her giving her the biggest smile ever.
"Cmon we have to go before everyone starts getting worried" i said to her
"Are we going to talk about what happened?" She asked
"I don't think we need to" i said looking at her in pure admiration
She just smiled and nodded, then we packed up and we walked all the way to the Salvatore school holding hands in silence. From that moment I knew that I fell for her.
Lizzie's P.O.V
From that moment I knew that I fell for her even more.
