All By Myself - Hizzie

The Will

In the last few hours, I just sat with Lizzie contemplating my next move. I know it's my father, but he left me why do I care that he died, sadly, any death is but I wouldn't let it affect me I won't cry for that asshole. Ever since Caroline came in and caught us making out and told us about my father, Lizzie held me, making sure I was okay, and if I needed a shoulder to cry on, it was there. This is why I love her; she is always there for me no matter what the problem is. I look at Lizzie, and she noticed the cold look in my eyes but didn't say anything, and I think I scare her on how much I don't care about my father's passing.

I said, "I'm a little hungry want to order in."

"yea, that be nice Hope, but maybe you want to talk about your dad." She pleaded

I know she is only doing this because she cares, but I can't because if I talk about him, then he wins, and that might sound so stupid, but I won't him the satisfaction about caring about him after what he and mom did. I say, "Lizzie, I can't., I won't ever mention that assholes name, and please don't bring it up."

She didn't say anything, but I knew she silently agreed. I got up from her embrace and decided to get some water and said: "I will be right back, and when I do, lets actually watch the movie marathon, what do you think."

"anything you want."

I walked down the stairs, and I heard a voice one that seems like I heard it before, but I can' place it, and it was coming from the kitchen, so I decided to walk in and mom's looked at me and a Burnette turned around and faced me and I knew exactly who it was.

I said, "nope, I am not doing this." And ran up the stairs I heard Caroline call my name, but I can't face her I won't. I ran straight into Lizzie's room, and tears were streaming down my face Lizzie closed the door and sat me down on her bed, and I just cried on her shoulder.

She said, "what happened? Hope."

"she's here, Lizzie."

"who is here."

"my mother."

And I took her silence as an acknowledgment that she wouldn't know what to do either. We were cuddled up close and under a blanket when we heard a knock on the door, and Lizzie said: "come in."

Mom walked in and said, "Hope I know you don't want to see her, and that's okay, but tomorrow you have to go to the will reading, and we will all be there for you."

"I love you, mom."

"I love you two girls so much, and I don't want you to think you have to hide your relationship from us. We fully support you, no matter what."

We both said at the same time, "you do."

"of course, we do me, and mama had a bet on when you would get together, and I owe mama 20 dollars."

I said, "you bet on our future relationship, why is that not surprising."

All 3 of us laughed, and Caroline came and hugged us before closing the door behind her.

I said, "Lizzie tomorrow, you will be there with me right because I can't do this without you your my everything. I love you."

Lizzie started crying, and I hugged her tighter, and she said: "I love you too Hope and I will be by your side always and forever."

we had a quick kiss, and I said: "We should get some sleep tomorrow will be a big day."

She said, "that's a good idea." And she put her arms around me, and we cuddled to sleep.

I hear some baby snores and realize that its Lizzie I look at my phone and it was already 11, so I turned my body and faced Lizzie and gave her a quick peck on the lips and she smiled at me, and then I smiled back at her and said "are you ready to get up because I would stay here all day with you, but I have obligations."

"yea, I am."

I sit up and get off the bed and leave the room to get dressed in my room since all my clothes are there. I walk into my room and open the closet door, and I don't know what to wear to a will reading, so I just put on some black jeans and a white top with matching checkered vans and went downstairs to get ready to leave.

Lizzie was already dressed, and everyone was just waiting for me. I love my family and how they came to support me today, even if they didn't have too. I said, "I'm ready to go." And with that we were all off we got into the car and made our way to some lawyers office, and if we are being honest, I don't really care about what he gave me I just want to get this done and over with because I want to get back to normal.

They pulled up into a parking lot, and we all got out. We all walked inside, and someone said, will you guys all be in the room. I looked around at everyone and said: "yes, we will all be in the room."

He showed us in, and we just waited for the lawyer to show up. He and my biological mom walked in at the same time as he did and sat down next to me. She tried to look at me I just ignored her.

The lawyer started to speak up, and I ignored most of what he said until he said my name, and he got all my attention he read out the will "for my brave and strong daughter Hope I leave everything I own my assets my houses everything that is on my name is now yours."

I just stood in silence there was so much tension in the room you could cut it with a knife he continued reading "Hope I was not a good father and you could hate me forever for what I have done because I hate myself for doing it I could give you an excuse, but it wouldn't matter I failed you and I am so sorry."

I felt tears building up, and any second I was going to cry really hard, and I knew it too. "dear Haylee, I leave you the most important thing, and that's your reconnection with our daughter and nothing else I hope you use this time wisely and not get your greed to mess it all up."

The will was read, and I said: "can I go." I didn't want to cry in front of them, and he said: "just one more thing I have to list off the assets that now belong to you."

"Okay," I said

"you get all that was remaining in his bank accounts, which acclimates do 112 million dollars and houses all over the world."

I was shocked. I had no idea that he was rich and said: "are you sure?"

"I am positive, Ms. Mikaelson all the named assets will be transferred as soon as you sign here."

Then a loud voice came from the women sitting next to us and said: "I was married to him for 25 years, and he gives all his money to a child one who I made him leave in that park, and all he leaves me is meeting her I will fight this in court."

My whole family started to yell at the lady, and I couldn't take it anymore. I snapped. I yelled, "everyone quiet" the entire room went into silence." it's my time to say something, when I was 6 years old, left all alone in that park all I wanted was for you to hold me. And when I turned 10, I wanted you to be at my birthday party, but I shortly learned that you didn't care enough even to send me a card. I cried countless tears to see you again, but I am glad I didn't because your nothing what a mother is supposed to be like. These two women right here are my moms, and I love them so much right here is my sister Josie. I would do anything for her. And lastly, this to my right is Lizzie. She is my everything. one day I will get married to her, and I want the fact that you won't be the one taking me down aisle settle in because I never want to see you again."

And I just walked out of the room my moms handled all the paperwork while I waited and we all left that god awful place.

We were in the car, and no one said anything until Josie broke the tension and said: "so Hopefully I want a red Lambo for my birthday." And we all started to laugh

I knew she was joking, but I thought about it for a moment, and I could literally live anywhere I wanted and get anyone what they wanted I have houses all over the world and so much money. But I wasn't going to let it get me. I am not the person who likes expensive things. All I know is that when the time is right, I can have a peaceful life with Lizzie and not worry about anything.

When we walked inside the house, I felt everything hit me at once my father's letter, my bitch of a mom's and everything I fell to the floor and just started crying and I was finally excepting that I can't run from my feeling I have to go through them. I cried for the next couple of hours, but my family was by my side, and with them, I can get through anything.
