A Love Split in Three

Chapter 15

After Lizzie and Mg finished dancing to an upbeat hip hop song a slow song began to play and couples began to pair up to slow dance. Mg took Lizzie's hand in his as she wrapped her hand around his and placed the other on his side and he placed his other hand on her waist. They began to slow dance to the song and Lizzie still smiled, she was happy, in the moment dancing with Mg at her party. She was having fun, until she locked eyes with a certain petite auburn haired tribrid watching in a gorgeous red dress from above

They held each other's gaze as Lizzie continued to slow dance with Mg. At that moment as much as she didn't want to. She wished it was Hope who was slow dancing with her and not Mg. She didn't want to, she didn't want to feel this way about Hope especially not after all the pain that she had caused her over the years. Lizzie told herself consistently that she could not fall for Hope Andrea Mikaelson, it was her one and only rule.

But then again, Lizzie always did love to break the rules.

Mg noticed that Lizzie's attention wasn't on him but on something, or someone else and he followed her gaze to Hope. He watched as they both stared at each other and he knew, he knew that these two witches felt something deep for each other, much deeper then what Lizzie could ever feel about him. As much as he tried he knew Lizzie would never look at him the way she is looking at Hope right now.

Mg stopped dancing, which made Lizzie look away from Hope and at Mg confused, "What's wrong?" Lizzie asked

"Nothing, except for the fact that I'm not the one you want to be dancing with right now. And that's okay, I get it." Mg said letting go and taking a step back

"What are you talking about? I'm having a great time with you, who else would I be wanting to dance with right now?" Lizzie asked clearly in denying it not only to Mg but herself as well

"I don't know, maybe Hope?" He said gestured towards Hope still watching them from above

Lizzie looked at Hope and quickly looked back at Mg shaking her head, "I do not want to dance with Hope Mikaelson." Lizzie said distastefully, lying to herself once again

Lizzie didn't know that out of curiosity and jealousy Hope casted a spell while Mg vamp sped towards Lizzie at the stairs, the spell helped her hear every word that was said between them. Hope had been jealous seeing Lizzie and Mg smiling and laughing together the whole night but now she was just hurt.

Of course it's Lizzie Saltzman afterall, why would I ever think that she would even remotely feel something for me. I can't believe I actually wrote her that stupid letter in the first place, she probably had a laugh just reading it. Hope thought to herself before looking away and walking out of the party

"Don't lie to yourself Lizzie, you feel something for her, deeply. I know because you look at her the same way that I look at you." Mg said smiling sadly

"Mg.." Lizzie began

"No, it's okay Lizzie really. I'll be okay, just don't lie to yourself, you'll in the end someone is going to end up hurt." Mg said walking out

Lizzie watched him leave and thought to herself, Hope? Why Hope, out of all people why did she have to make me feel this way?

She finally looked up towards where Hope was just a minute ago and saw that she was gone.

"Hey Lizzie!" Josie said walking up from behind Lizzie as she looked away from where Hope was

Lizzie turned around to face Josie and Penelope still holding hands smiling, "You two are back together now?" Lizzie asked confused

Josie knitted her eyebrows together confused not realising she was still holding Penelope's hand, "No, why?"

Lizzie gestured towards the linked hands

"No, her hand just looked heavy so I decided to hold it for her." Penelope said, "Where's Mg?"

"Uh.. He left actually. About a minute before you came in." Lizzie said as her mind went back to Hope wondering why she left and where she went

"What happened? Why'd he leave?" Penelope asked, concerned but she already knew that Lizzie had broken his heart.. Again.

"It doesn't matter, you already made up a whole story in which i'm the bad guy so why bother telling you anyways." Lizzie said as she left the party in search for Hope

"What was that about?" Josie asked

"Nothing, Lizzie just knows that I don't like her. I'm going to check in on Mg. Are you going to be okay here by yourself?" Penelope asked concerned

'Yea go ahead." Josie said as Penelope left

"What happened between you and Lizzie?" Penelope asked Mg who was sitting outside of the school looking off into the distance

"What we both already knew. She doesn't like me the way that I like her." Mg said absentmindedly

"The queen of mean strikes once again" Penelope sighed sitting next to Mg

"She didn't do anything. We are having a good time and then we started slow dancing, but then she noticed Hope and she just couldn't look away from her. That's when I realized that the way she looked at her was the way that I look at her. She loves her, Penelope. I can't be mad at her for that, I can't resent her for it. And I could tell she was lying to herself about it and denying it, so I told her to stop and to own up to her feelings.. And then I left." Mg said looking at the ground

"Lizzie loves Hope, too?" Penelope asked herself quietly

"What do you mean, too?" Mg asked looking at Penelope

"Nothing, it's just Hope was about to jump me for what I said to Lizzie last night. Turns out the loner witch has a thing for Vanilla Saltzman too. That's a match I never would've thought of." Penelope laughed softly to herself

"Too soon, Peez." Mg said

"Sorry."
