"You know what? You are right. I am not gonna be that person"

Hope said, she stood up. Josie checked her out as she was getting up. Hope gave Josie her hand, Josie took it and got up.

Josie smiled she imedietly kissed Hope. Hope cut the kiss but stayed close to Josie's face.

"You know, we should be doing this somewhere else."
"Yeah but where? I mean the cell is now ashes since-"
"Your fight with Ken. You didn't tell me where were you for two weeks."
"Around. Anyway, any ideas?"
"Nope. Ugh, i missed having my place."
"I've got an idea"

Hope took Josie to a place behind the school, somewhere in the woods.

"It's literally the middle of nowhere you know"
"No it's something i found when i was gone."

Hope said as she walked to a big hole on the ground. She opened it, there was a ladder, they got inside. It was a tiny room with a bed and some other things. It looked clean and beautiful.
"Whoah, Hope this is so nice"
"Well at first the place was a mess but yeah"
"How did you find this?"

Hope didn't answer. She zoned out, she got lost it was like flashbacks coming through to her. Josie tried to understand what was going on.

"Hope? Hope you there?"

Hope focused, she moved her head and then looked at Josie.

"Yes sorry i got lost there. So you like it?"
"Yeah it looks awesome"
"Good. Because well, this is our place now"
"Sounds good to me"

Josie said, she brought her lips together and checked out Hope. Hope smiled at her in a flirty way as she moved her body closer. She touched her face and slowly kissed her. Then Josie took her hand and they walked to the bed. Josie laid down and Hope laid on her while kissing her.

Eventually, the night came. Josie got ready. Hope was waiting for her down the stairs. She was standing when she heard Josie. She turned around, her eyes imedietly sobbed and sparkled. Josie smiled, she walked down th4 stairs and stood in front of Hope.

"H-hey"

Hope said breathless as she couldn't stop looking at Josie. Her eyes were shining like stars and she was smiling uncontrollable.
"Hey"
"You, you look beautiful"
"Thank you"

Josie said she smiled. Hope took her hand and they walked outside and to the grill. When they got in, the grill was full of people. They were walking through the crowd. Josie started feeling a bit anxious. She kept looking around. She ended up getting lost into the crowd, but then Hope found her.

"Jo, are you okay?"
"I don't feel so good"

Hope pulled her away from the crowd. They went to the bathroom, Josie felt better.

"Are you feeling better?"
"Yes"
"I am sorry It's my fault, i should have known that crowds like this would make you uncomfortable with the whole thing"
"You, you mean the vampirism? No, i just felt dizzy"

Josie said as she was going to walk out of the bathroom, Hope stood in front of her.
"Whoah, are you going back inside?"
"Yes. Why not?"
"Josie, you won't be able to control yourself out there, you will attack at someone eventually."
"But i am okay, i don't feel hungry or whatever"
"So out there you didn't feel maybe headache? And your stomach didn't hurt. And you didn't feel the dizziness or the constant feeling of ripping someone's head off. You didn't feel the jumpiness. I bet you can smell every single person's blood in there"
"Hope-"
"Josie, this is you graving for blood. I know it's hard i understand and i wanna help you, please. Just, let me help you"
