Hosie ~ Remember me

I'm going to be posting three chapters today to speed the story along and I'm posting information for my new book that I hope you all will look at reading.

Hope was frozen in place when she felt Landon's lips touch her own.  She couldn't help but kiss him back, even though every fibre in her body  told her not to.

Her mind was racing, she understood why Landon was  doing this, because before she went into Malivore she was in a  relationship with Landon. But she was now in a relationship with Josie,  that Landon didn't know about.

Josie couldn't believe what she was  seeing. She was suddenly hit with a wave of jealousy, sadness,  resentment and hatred. Tears started to fill her eyes and she ran out of  the room.

Hope broke her kiss with Landon and turned to run after  Josie, but Lizzie stopped her. "You really fucked up this time Hope." Lizzie spat as she followed Josie out of the room.

Landon looked at Hope, confused. "What was all that about?" He asked.

"Landon... We should talk." Hope twisted her lips.

"Alright students! Please sit down!"  Alaric called from the front of the room. There were hurried murmurs  coming from the students, but they all sat down. Landon pulled Hope to  the nearest free seats and they sat down.

"As you will be aware now,  you have been given your memories back. Memories of Hope Mikaelson.  Yes, she did jump into Malivore... but she is back now. Please don't let  it distract you from your studies. I've agreed with Dorian that you can  take today off from your lessons to give you time to adjust again. But  school will start again tomorrow. So enjoy your free time. You're all  dismissed." Alaric concluded.

"Oh wait. I need some of the upperclassmen to help clear the zombie bodies from the main doors please."

As  the students started to pile out of the room, a few of them greeted  Hope, but most of them just stared at her in a sort of disbelief. Hope  found those stares the most difficult.

She hated being the centre of  attention, she was used to living on the outside of other people's lives  with most people not paying attention to her.

This was definitely  something that she never wanted to experience again and right now, all  she wanted to do was to talk to Josie. Hope found herself burying her  hands in her face.

"Hey, Hope. Are you okay?" Landon asked.

"No, Landon. We need to talk. But not here." Hope replied.

   "Well, let's go to my room. We can talk in there?"

"No, not there. Let's go to the Old Mill. It should be quiet there." Hope shrugged.

"Okay?"  Landon looked puzzled, but he stood up anyway, pulled Hope up with him  and took her hand in his own. Hope released her hand from his grasp then  folded her arms across her chest as they made their way to the Old  Mill.Landon tried to make conversation but Hope just ignored him, as  she tried to gather her thoughts.

As they approached the Old Mill,  Hope did a quick scan of the area to make sure it was clear before she  sat down on the steps. Landon followed.
