Life In Mystic Falls

Chapter 9

"MG!"

The young vampire turns in shock at the sound of Hope calling his name from a few feet away, he had wanted to talk to her for almost two months now, but also wanted to give her the space she needed and he was also slightly afraid of what she'd do to him, which was why his hands had began to shake. "Hope?" He greets, unable to believe that she wants to talk to him.

"I think it's time we talk," Hope says quietly, causing MG to take a step towards her, but she immediately steps back.

"Yeah?" He questions hopefully.

"Yeah," Hope nods as the door opens behind her, the footsteps of whoever came out of the room stopping almost instantly.

"What's going on out here?" Lizzie asks, cautiously walking towards Hope.

"We were about to talk," MG reveals.

"Okay, why don't you guys come into mine and Jo's room?" Lizzie offers, knowing it was better for them to have this conversation in private instead of the hallway where other people could see them.

"Uh, yeah," Hope nods, "that's probably a good idea." Hope turns back and walks the few feet there was between her and the twins' room.

"Hey," Josie greets Hope with a wide smile as the tribrid sits in a chair by one of the desks.

"MG and Hope are gonna talk," Lizzie explains to her sister as she walks in with the vampire trailing behind her.

"Whose idea was that?" Josie questions in mild shock.

"Hope's," Mg replies still surprised.

"I can't exactly avoid you forever," Hope shrugs.

"So, you only want to talk now because you know you'll have to eventually?" Lizzie asks.

"It's not fair on you guys, for two of your friends to be avoiding each other," Hope points out, "and I think we all know it's a really bad idea for me to be keeping things bottled up."

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure mom and dad wouldn't appreciate the school spontaneously exploding," Josie tries to joke.

"Why did you do it?" Hope ignores the witch and turns to MG, "I trusted you! You were the first person I told about Landon and you killed him. Why?"

"I... I lost control, I'm so sorry," MG apologises. "It's never going to happen again, I'm back on animal blood bags and I'm never going to drink a drop of human blood again."

"I watched my boyfriend die!" Hope spits angrily. "I held his body in my arms and cried. Do you know what it's like to lose somebody you love? To watch the life drain out of them?"

"I know I hurt you. I know I lost control. Kaleb just bit into this girl's neck and he kept telling me to drink from her, so I did, to get him off my back; I don't know what happened, but I just lost it. Can you please forgive me?" MG pleads.

"Yeah, I can," Hope nods, surprising everyone in the room, "but if you ever think about hurting anybody – and I mean anybody – I care about ever again, I won't hesitate to kill you."

"I'm not going to hurt anybody ever again. But, if I do you can kill me, however you want," MG smiles.

"This doesn't mean we're going back to being friends again," Hope tells him as she stands to leave the room, turning to face the twins on her way out, "we'll do movie night another day, okay?" Without waiting for a response, Hope leaves the room and heads towards her own, locking the door with magic as she sits on the edge of the bed and pulls out her phone.

'I spoke to MG' she types out and sends to her boyfriend.

'Yeah?' Landon's reply comes quickly. 'Is he still alive?'

'He's fine, I didn't touch him' Hope sends back. 'I forgave him. Still don't trust him, but we're gonna be civil.'

'By civil do you mean you won't kill him, and you won't glare at him every time he walks into a room?" Landon questions.

'I don't glare!' Hope sends back slightly offended.

'Yeah you do. It's kinda scary but also extremely hot,' the response makes Hope happy that they're just texting, and that Landon can't see the blush that creeps across her face.

'Go spend time with Matt' Hope replies, knowing Landon was supposed to be spending time with his foster father and not texting her. 'We'll talk tomorrow.'

Hope puts her phone on charge before grabbing her laptop and pulling up Netflix. It had just passed seven, so it was too early to go to sleep, but she also didn't want to go to the twins' room because she knew they (specifically Lizzie) would want to talk about what just happened and she didn't have the energy for that right now. So, instead, she decides to lay in her room and binge watch something on Netflix.

Author's Note:

This took much longer than I hoped it would and I know it's short. I have came to a little bit of a block, so if anyone as any ideas for what they want to see next, I'd love to hear them.
