All By Myself - Hizzie

Hard Past

Past

When I was younger, my parents took me to the park, and earlier that day, I even got to eat ice cream for breakfast, also for a six-year-old, I knew something seemed wrong, but at the time, I didn't know how to say it. so, when we got to the park, I looked at my mom and dad, and they had a few tears in their eyes, and I said: "what's wrong mama."

They didn't say anything. They crouched to my height level and gave me a hug and gestured me to go play with some of the other kids, and I ran over to the swings and played with them and forgot about how my parents were acting so strange. When it started to get darker all the kids began to leave I went to look for my parents, but I couldn't find them, and I didn't know what to do no one was in the park except me so like any other 6 year old I cried what else was I supposed to do I was scared and all alone in a dark park.

The one thing that I will never forget is how cold I was I felt my toes start to numb and after what seemed like forever I noticed a police light and a women walking up to me and I thought it was my mom so I ran up to her and hugged her, and when I saw the lady's face it wasn't her, but I didn't let go I don't know why but I felt safe. It was the local sheriff in our town mystic falls. I didn't know what was going on, but I knew that at that moment that everything was going to be okay no matter what happens.

She took off her jacket and placed it over me, and the tears still were flowing from my cheeks, and the lady wiped them and said: "my name is Elizabeth Forbes, and what's your name."

I sobbed, "Hope Andrea Mikaelson."

She sat me in the car and made sure I was all buckled up, and she started to drive. It was a long and quiet drive, and when the car stopped, I saw a blonde woman standing with two girls in front of a charming house, and the sheriff told me to stay in the car while she talked to the other women, and I did what she said.

Caroline Pov

My mom walked up to me and gave me a kiss on the cheek and then one to Josie and Lizzie and said: "Hi Caroline, I have a favor to ask."

I looked in the backseat of her car and noticed a little girl sitting there crying and said: "of course, mom, but why is there a little girl in your car."

"that's what I was going to ask you do you think you can watch the girl for a little while."

I didn't know what to say how am I supposed to look after a girl when I already have my hands tied I look at the young girl again, and I couldn't say no "what happened to her."

"I was doing my usual patrol, and I saw the girl crying in the park all alone in the dark park."

How could someone leave their child all alone in a park "did you find her parents."

"the girl told me her name, and I had a few officers go to her house, and everything was gone there was a mess everywhere it's like they ran away."

"I will look after her until you find her parents and what is her name."

"Hope, Andrea Mikaelson."

"did you say Mikaelson as in Klaus."

"yea, why?"

"We dated for a while before he moved away, I didn't know he came back."

"are you sure you could do this."

"yes, mom, I can. It's just a coincidence."

Hope Pov

The younger lady walked to where I was sitting and opened the door and said: "Hi, Hope my name is Caroline, and you will be staying with my two daughters and me until we can find your parents. Is that okay."

I nodded my head, and she picked me up and carried me inside and put me down on the couch, and one of the little girls came up to me and said: "Hi, I am Lizzie. What's your name."

I said, "Hope."

She took my hand and said, "come with me."

I still had tears in my eyes, but I followed her up the stairs when her mom said: "Lizzie, what are you doing."

Lizzie stopped halfway on the stairs and looked through the railings, and she said: "I'm showing Hope my room and all my toys so we could play together."

Caroline started walking up the stairs and said: "you can do that later Hope needs to take a shower and go to bed. She had a long day and must be tired."

I was so tired my eyes were hurting from crying so much, and Lizzie said: "can I take a shower with her."

Caroline said, "no, that's inappropriate."

I said, "please, I am scared to take a shower alone."

Lizzie had a pouty face, and Caroline said: "fine, I will set the bath. You two, don't go anywhere."

Lizzie gave me the biggest hug, and Caroline called us into the shower, and both of us took off all our clothes and stepped into the bathtub and sat down. I was still very sad, but no more tears were coming out; it's like I cried myself out. Caroline started to put shampoo in my hair while Lizzie began to play with some toys that were in the water, and she handed me one of them, and we played House. I had a girl doll, and so did she, and we pretended we were married with two kids and a big house, and for the first time since I was alone in the park, I laughed and smiled. After we were both cleaned, Caroline dressed me up and tucked me into bed goodnight. And turned off the lights and closed the door.

I was so tired, but I couldn't sleep it was dark in the room and all the memories of the day came back flooding into my mind on how I was all alone, and I started to cry and sob again I didn't notice someone come in but I felt someone hugging me I turned to my left and it was Lizzie. She jumped on the bed and laid with me until I woke up, and ever since then, I have been in love with her.

Present

"Wake up loser" Lizzie screams

I almost fall out of my bed and scream, "Lizzie, what the hell is wrong with you? I swear I won't let you sleep with me when you're sad anymore."

She laughed and said, "very funny, Mikaelson, you know you love my cuddles, but mom told me to wake you for breakfast so we can get to our first day of senior year on time."

"Okay, I am coming."
