Fight For Me

Unbelievable

Note:

I would like to thank everyone who is still hanging in there with this story. I am sorry that it has taken me so long for this update. My first semester of grad school is keeping me busy. I have not forgotten this story and I am still working on it.

4 months later

This summer was the longest summer for Hope and Josie. The reason for that; they only got to spend the first week of the vacation together before they were torn apart. (Yes, both girls knew that they sounded dramatic when they said it like that, but they were teens in love.) Hope went home to New Orleans to see her family and Josie spent the summer with her mother and sister in Europe. Honestly, you would think that they would be happier to see the relatives that they rarely got to see, but they both missed the other.

They had tried to convince the adults that they should be allowed to spend the summer together, but that was a no go. Hope went so far as to point out the fact that she was eighteen and an adult and should be allowed to do what she wanted. That didn't go over well at all and ended with a Mikaelson style argument. It was only ended when Caroline stepped in to say that it didn't matter if Hope came to Europe, Josie was spending her time with her and her sister. So, this had left the girls with long calls, texting so much that they weren't in the conversations with their families half the time and video chats.

To say the very least, they missed each other. Thus, to no one's surprise, the moment they laid eyes on each other when they returned to school, a week before classes started, on move in day, they ran to each other like two people in one of those old movies. Josie jumped into Hope's arms and crashed their lips together in an all-consuming kiss.

They clung to each other tightly, never wanting to let go of the other again. The last three months had been tormenting for the two. Hope had sworn to Josie in one of their late night video calls, that this was the last summer that they would have to ever spend apart. Josie pointed out that she would only be seventeen by the next summer so that she had no say in anything for two more years. Hope simply restated that they would not be separated again.

As the two pulled back just enough that they still shared the same air, but enough so that the need for oxygen was met, they laid their foreheads together. They refused to release the other girl for fear that they would be nothing more than a daydream and vanish.

"I missed you so much."

Josie wrapped her arms tighter around Hope's neck.

"I missed you too. Everyday."

Hope pulled the taller girl more fully against her allowing herself to revel in feel of holding her love in her arms again.

"We are never going that long without seeing each other in the flesh again."

"Never. I can't stand to be away from you for that long."

Hope slipped her hand behind Josie's head and pulled her in for another, breath taking kiss. Moaning at the sensation of having Josie's lips pressed so fully to her own.

As they were really getting into the kiss and started to allow their hands to roam, they were forcefully pulled apart.

Josie blinked at the loss of warm, delicious lips and the overall warmth Hope. She turned to see what or who had separated them, and found her sister standing there with an annoyed look on her face. What was her problem?

"Really, you couldn't wait for like five minutes to see your mutt?"

Hope glared at Lizzie. She really didn't care that she insulted her, again, but she needed to back off with the attitude towards Josie. Sister or not, this was not something that anyone could get away with.
