Everything Has Changed/ Hosie

Give her time

It's been two weeks since Klaus's death and Josie doesn't know what to do anymore. She got out of the hospital three days after his death and ever since she has been going to the Mikealson's house everyday. She would sleep there sometimes.

Hope and Hayley haven't got out of the house since. They won't even leave the room unless it's to go to the bathroom. Not even to eat. Josie or another Mikealson would have to leave a tray of food outside the door.

Josie sometimes just sits by Hope's door since she doesn't let her go in. She doesn't wanna talk to her, she doesn't wanna touch her, hell she even doesn't want to see her.

Josie understands it though. Her father died and if Josie was in her position then she'd probably be doing the same. She's not gonna give up on her though. On them. She made a promise. A promise to Klaus and it's one she intends to keep.

Right now she is sitting at the dinner table with the Mikealson family. Rebekah and Freya are making food. Keelin is setting up the table while Davina makes a tray for Hope and Hayley. The guys are talking about some random stuff and Josie is sitting with Nik on her lap.

They hear a door open and see Hayley walk out, everyone immediately looks at her. Nobody says a thing as they watch her sit in a chair.

" I'm tired of being in that room. I'm tired of making it seem like my life is over when it's not. I have to move on, I need to, but I'm gonna need y'alls help." Hayley whispers looking at everyone in the room.

" Whatever you need. We're not going anywhere." Josie puts her hand on top of her's and give it a reasuring squeeze. Hayley gives her a small smile.

" Has she came out?" Hayley asks.

Josie shakes her head looking down at the table with a sad expression. Hayley gives her a hand squezze.

" Give her time." Josie nods.

Rebekah puts a plate of food infront of everyone and they begin eating in silence, not knowing what to talk about. Hayley starts a conversation and they go from there.

Later that day they are all spread out in the living room watching a comedy movie when Josie gets up to go pick Hope's tray up.

She was on her way to go upstairs when she sees Hope walking down with her tray. They both stop and their eyes lock on each other. Coming out of her trance, Hope quickly walks down and goes to the kitchen to put her tray up.

She comes back and goes upstairs, but gets stopped by a soft hand grabbing her arm. She looks down at the hand and turns around.

" Sorry." Josie whispers pulling her hand away. Hope continues to walk upstairs.

" Hope."

Hope stops to look at Josie who is at the bottom of the stairs. She goes down to stand in front of her with an emotionless face.

" Talk to me. Please." Hope shakes her head slightly before turning to go back up the stairs.

Josie grabs her arm once again, only this time she reacts. Hope turns around and harshly pushes her away making her stumble back and against the side table by the wall.

Josie groans feeling her injury open from hitting the table. Hope looks at her with guilt and regret. She looked scared.

" Go home, Josie. You're not needed here." She says.

Josie looks at her with a hurt expression while she leans on the wall. " Are you breaking up with me?" Her voice cracks.

There's a moment of silence. A moment of hesitation.

" Yes." Hope says walking back up the stairs without sparing a glance.

The Mikealsons who were standing aside watching the entire thing walk over to help Josie after seeing blood soak her shirt.

Josie doesn't move though. She slides down the wall leaving a trail of blood on the wall and letting it fill the floor. She tunes everything and everyone out, looking at the stairs with tears in her eyes.

She feels a pair of strong arms pick her up off the floor and she turns to see, but blacks out immediately.

About an hour later, Hope comes back down and sees Davina and Keelin scrubbing blood off the floor and wall.

" That's a lot of blood." She says causing the two women to turn and look at her. " Who's is it?"

They look at her with a sad expression before turning to look at the couch. Hope follows their gaze and sees Nik sitting beside Josie who is laying on the couch with her shirt pulled up and a white cloth on her side.

She tears up and walks over to the brunette.

" I did this?" She breathes out.

" She's fine, Hope. It was an accident" Keelin reassures. Hope gently strokes the girl's face.

She didn't want to break up with her, she only did it because she thought it was the right thing to do. She's in no position to be a girlfriend to her and believes that Josie deserves someone better.

Hope notices Josie stir so she quickly gets up and rushes upstairs not wanting to face the brunette.

" Owy" Josie pouts looking at her injury. She looks up and sees Nik smiling sweetly at her.

" Hey there, budy."

" Hi, Josie." He says. Keelin and Davina walk over to her.

" About time you woke up. I was getting tired of babysitting." Davina smirks. Josie chuckles.

" Well, you don't have to babysit me anymore." She grunts sitting up. The two women give her a confused expression.

" I'm going home. She doesn't want me here, for God sakes she broke up with me to get rid of me. Look, I'm not giving up, I'm still coming over everyday and check up on them. Spend some time with y'all and Hayley. And I'm not done fighting for her, but I can't do anything if she wont even look at me." Josie explains getting up.

" Josie you don't-"

" No. Davina, it's what she wants. Listen, don't tell them, but I made a promise to Klaus before he died. I promised him I'd take care of them for him." She pauses to clear her throat. " I'm not breaking that promise. Ever." She wipes her tears quickly.

Josie hasn't cried since the night of his death. She's been holding it in because she has to be strong for Hope and Hayley. It's breaking her in the inside, but she doesn't want them to see her weak when they need her. So she keeps it in as long as she can.

" Thank you for everything. Tell Hayley I'll come back tomorrow." Josie says grabbing her things.

" Josie-" They both say, but Josie is already at the door.

She sits in her car for about half an hour not having the guts to drive away. She hasn't even told them what the doctor said to her at the hospital. She wants to, but they never gave her a chance and it's killing her because they don't know.

She pulls out of the driveway and heads home with a heavy broken heart.

This includes the new chapter guys. I ran out of complete chapters so I'll try to update soon, but I don't know how much time this will get. Thank you for reading this and don't forget that this book BELONGS to jo_saltz on ao3 and is NOT mine.
Anyways, Legacies is back to filming and we are waiting for a Daylee moment guys.
Have a good day my fellow Hosie shippers!
