Hopes boyfriend Roman had used her, he didnt really love her but he slept with her, told her everything she wanted to hear then when the time was right he broke up with her. Chose a girl 'more his style' over Hope, stating he was only dating Hope to make that girl jealous. Hope went to her friends for help, Cleo and Maya, they were her bestfriends and the only ones she needed. They gave her an idea. To get a fake date, act like your in a relationship and tell him you moved on. Hope did just that, even tho she was hesitant at first.
