Desired looks

Ten|| "Maybe that josie is gone"

Hope POV

"What do you mean my father is downstairs?" Josie asked

"I can hear him, he's definitely downstairs and you need to get dressed, unless you want your father to see you like this." I say as I put my shirt on

"If you are implying to my dad, my dad hasn't died" Josie crossed her arms

"You know what I mean" I rolled my eyes

"Alaric is alive? But he died years ago" Josie was really confused
"or he pulled a cece and he never died, just needed to hide out for the right reasons" I suggested

"I can't see him or I might kill im for good" Josie says as she started pacing around the room for her clothing
Hope could hear the kitchen cabinets slam as she heard Alaric's voice over the phone. Hope didn't know what he was saying but she did know he was saying something, maybe that something is important. I will never know by the noise Josie is making as she searches around the room. "Josie!" I hissed

She looked up at me confused. "what?" she asked

"I'm trying to listen, do you mind shutting the fuck up?" I whispered
"didn't we just do 1 fourths of that" Josie says with a innocent smile

"what?" I asked

"you told me to 'shut the fuck up' there's 4 words in that statement, and the only one that stands out is fuck, because we just did that" Josie tried hiding her smile but failed poorly

"I don't have time for jokes, I need you get dressed and get the fuck out of here, knowing your father- knowing alaric he might have an arm of people surrounding this house waiting to kill you or your sister" Hope says

"Why? everyone already knows what happened that night of your mothers fake death so it's no need in trying to kill us" Josie says as she finally got done dressing herself

"Maybe that's the problem, Maybe we didn't figure out everything and we are moments away from figuring it out but we couldn't because we have been to focused on cece" I said as I paced around the room

"hope.. speak english" Josie says as she made her way over to the window

"What I'm saying is, you need to go get cece and lizzie.. its something cece isn't telling us and there's a reason for alaric being here" hope says

"okay but I should stop by finch house to see how she's doing, I usually text her a good morning text but-"

"I honestly stopped listening when you mentioned its name, Honestly Josie, what are you going to do? First you are all 'Finch is my girlfriend' and 'oh I love finch so-'"

"I never said I love finch," Josie bites.

"It seems to be that way... I mean you never stop mentioning the girl, maybe last night was an mistake" I scoffed

Josie let out a sigh, because if she was going to say something it wasn't about to come out the right way.

"Whatever hope, I don't have time for this" Josie says as she begin to climb out the window

"There she is... there's the josie I love and fell in love with, I don't know what you have done with her but I'm glad she's back" I sarcastically smiled as I walked over to josie to help her out of the window

"What the hell are you talking about? I've never changed" Josie glares

"Be careful amore, the branches are too sharp and they can cut you" I say as she steadied josie out of the window

"You have changed" I admitted

"Name one thing and in what way have I changed?" Josie asked

"Step down there and hold on tight so I can make sure you get down safely" I said as I held josie hand

"Now jump amore!" I said

"How have I changed hope?" Josie repeated again

"The new you cares too much about the wrong things, The josie I knew is smart, doesn't give a damn for what people say about her and best of all, she has that spark in her eyes when talks about something or someone she loves... out of all I think that changed the most" I admitted as I finally got josie down

Josie didn't say anything

I climbed out of the window and jumped down.

"Maybe that josie is gone" Josie finally says as I got down to the surface

"She's not gone, she's being put behind fake smiles and fake laughs, I have you know that I know you Josette salvatore, I know you more than you know yourself" I said before I walked off to the car

I got in and put my forehead on the steering wheel.

I'm starting to think our sex life is cursed, Everytime Josie and I have sex we always have some fight or something gets in the way.

Josie walked up to the car

"I want you hope, I really do.. But leaving finch-" I cut her off

"You don't want me josie, because if you did you would see that finch is nothing and if you have to choose between me and finch then I will make the choice for you because I don't deserve to even be a choice, No matter how mad and angry that bitch makes me, she also deserves the truth, so Maybe you need to tell her that" I said before I slammed the car door shut.

I am so angry, not at josie, not at finch, hell I'm always angry at the world, but not now. I am angry at myself. I am angry for letting myself fall for someone like josie.

"Cover those hickies up if you are going to visit finch, wouldn't want her to get the wrong idea" I rolled down my window

"I need you to take me to finch house" Josie says

Before I could deny Josie's request they spotted Alaric walking out of the house.

"Get in..NOW!" I demanded as josie quickly jumped into the car
