"How long has she been like this?"
"I don't know.. I just found her"
"Hope do you know what's wrong"
"No I've never seen her like this before"
"What do we do"
"Call Elena?"
"No, it will just worry her even more"
"We need to call someone that knows"
"Ethan... we need to call Ethan"

"Hope I'm fine really" I say. "What was that earlier. You were just sitting there.. your breathing was heavy, you were shaking.."
"If I'm correct I think it's call an anxiety attack" I tilt my head and eye her. "Lilly" 
"Hope I'm just stressed okay it's nothing to worry about.. I mean that was better then be blowing all the leafs off the trees" she takes my hand and sighs. 
"No that is not better Lilian" 
"Okay maybe not but you didn't have to call Ethan" I squeeze her hand. "I hate when you're like that.. I hate whenever you're hurting" 
I chuckle. "Hope, I'm okay" 
"You didn't tell me everything the other day did you" I shake my head. "I just hate that he's so far.. I mean I was with him every second of every day and night for 7 months.." 
"You have attachment issues Lilly"
"Clearly hope" I nudge her. "After you visit him you're coming back right?" She asked. "of course us am, you have attachment issue to" she lets out a small laugh. 
"Yeah I think I do" she squeezes my hand. I smile and look away. "I should get on the road" 
"Don't you think you should wait a little more" Hope asked concerned. "It was just one anxiety attack hope.. I've had them before I'm fine" I smile and get up. I pull her up and let go of her hand. "Okay, let's go" she smiles. 
We walk back to the house from the garden. "Have a nice trip Lilly" Hope hugs me. "I will" I hug her back. I pull away and walk away my hand not leaving here till I'm out of reach. 
I get into my car and start it driving away. It's a 8 hour drive there where Ethan is.. I better get comfortable.

"So where are you" Ethan asked through the phone. "Umm.. with hope" I lied. I didn't know him knowing I going two weeks early. "How are the Mikaelsons doing"
"Good" I smile and turn the corner. "So uh what are you doing right now?" 
He hums "not much just eating out right now with some friends at this place called Freddy's" 
"Oh it's it good" I ask turning another corner. "Yeah it is, I'll have to bring you here when you visit" I smile. 
"For sure, did you just get there?" I ask parking the car. "No actually, me and my friends just finished eating and we are leaving" 
I hum and look towards Freddy's. I see him walk out and smile. "Oh and-" I pause when I don't see him with anyone but some girl. "What are you doing later.. so I know when I can call-" I say my smile drops. 
"Umm not sure I'll call you and let you know" he says and looks at the girl putting his arm around her . "Okay.. I'll talk to you soon, love you" 
"Okay bye" he hangs up. My grip on the wheel tightens when I see him kiss the girl. "Incendia" I whisper and the girls jacket catches on fire. Ethan puts it out and immediately looks around. 
We lock eyes. I can see him mouth something and he starts to jog over. I start the car and drive away. 
"LILLY" I hear him yell but I keep driving. I can feel the tears start to fill my eyes. I turn the corner from the street where I saw Ethan. 
I find an open field park and park in a space. It's 7:36 and the sun is going down. 
I turn the car off and hit the wheel over and over again. I shut my eyes and the tears fall down my face. "Mother fucker.." I whisper and lean back. 
My phone rings. Ethan. I turn my phone off and lean my head back against the seat.

"Lilly" 
"Lilly!" I jolt up and I'm still in my car. I sigh and look beside me. 
"AH!" 
"Mother fucker hope. You and your stupid projections" I sigh and lean my head in the wheel.
"You weren't answering" she says. "Yeah I shut my phone off" I look at her. "Why, and why are your eyes red and puffy" she asked tilting her head. 
"I don't wanna talk about it" I sigh and lean my head against the window looking out. "Bunny what happen with Ethan, he's the one who called me and told me-"
"He cheated on me hope" I say not looking at her. She didn't say anything. "Hope" I look over and the projection brightened. 
"Oh hope you don't need to-" I sigh and she pulls me into a hug. "Freya helped you don't she.." I whisper. 
"He doesn't deserve you" she says and I hug her back tightly shutting my eyes crying a little. "Stop avoiding my questions" I let out a small chuckle. 
"What happen" she cups my face. I shake my head. "I was going to surprise him.. he lied about being with his friends and he walked out of a restaurant with some girl.. he kissed her and I set her jacket on fire" I shrug.
Hope let's out a laugh. "Now I know where Josie gets it from" I drop my jaw and push her away. "Wow!" I shake my head and look down. 
"Look at me" she lifts my head. "You deserve way better than him and you always have, any one who doesn't see what an amazing witch you are sucks. And I'm definitely telling Damon" 
I let out a laugh. "Dad will kill him" she smirks. "That's the point bunny" she moves some if my hair out of my face. "Come on, let's get ice cream and find a place for the night" I nod. She pulls me closer and places a kiss on my cheek. 
I smile and pull away. I start the car and drive to a ice cream place.

I don't know how many more chapters there will be. I love this book and writing it but I can't the motivation to keep the book going for such a longer time. It will be my favorite book out of the TVDU fanfics I've writing even though I made so many spelling errors. I do plan on editing it in the future and I'm thankful for everyone who's been reading it and who enjoys it. 
Have a good day/night
