"Dad, I'm afraid." I whisper and he looks at me with a soft look. He smiles gently and puts a hand on my shoulder.

I look at him and try to hold back the tears, but it's pointless, they're coming down my cheeks.

"You are still my son, and you will never be alone." He says and I take a deep breath, "Never, got it?" I nod frantically and he pulled me into a hug that I returned hard.

"Everyone makes mistakes, Taylor, I've made thousands, but you're not one of them, neither you nor Hope." He pulled back and I felt tears flood my vision.

Hope moved closer to stand beside me and she held my hand as tears streamed down her cheeks as well. He smiled sadly at us.

"You Two are Mikaelson, you are family, and I am proud to be able to call you children, I love you, I love you so much," he says as his own tears fall down his cheeks and I and Hope pull him into a trio hug, And we feel our own tears fall.

"We love you, Father," we say together.

"Taylor, are you alright?" teacher Caius asks. I pulled away from my daydream and sniffled a little. I can't think about these things now.

" yes I am ." I say . he didn't look convinced, his eyes were narrow and he was analyzing me clearly.

We were in one room, I was in an armchair and he was in another.
Teacher Caius thought it best to be alone so we could talk, Hope was somewhere else having a conversation with another teacher as well.

Alaric Found it best Hope and I talked about our problems with someone other than ourselves.

"Taylor, how do you feel now?" I laughed without humor.

"How do I feel? I'm angry, Very angry, but not only for what Landon did, I promised my father that I would take care of Hope, that I would protect her and guess what? I couldn't, She's with a broken heart, And it's my fault! "I exclaim. didn't change with my tone. He just looked at me and folded his hands. "I don't know what I should do, I'm lost and don't have…" I stopped. There's no one to show me a way ...

He arched an eyebrow "No what?" I took a deep breath.

"Never mind, Kirby is still out there and he will regret the day he was born," I say through gritted teeth.

"Do you want to kill him?"

"he lied to Hope! she's been through so many things! so many disappointments, so many losses, she doesn't deserve this!" I was furious.

Caius eyed me warily. "Do you think it's your fault Hope got hurt? Do you think you failed to protect her?"

I tried to stay strong "Yeah ... I should have pushed him away, I should have stopped him, 'cause she got hurt again and I couldn't do anything to stop it." I sighed.

"Taylor, none of this is your fault. You didn't know that would happen."

"It's not your fault, you didn't know this would happen…" my own words prowled my mind now, I said the same thing to Hope when Mom died ...

"I haven't been there…" I whisper, Head down.

He looks at me sadly "But it's here now, And now Hope needs you, Someone who supports her, wants to redeem herself? First you have to stop blaming yourself for the bad things that happen, None of this is your fault." He said and continued, "You have to open up, Taylor, no one can stand to keep so many emotions in yourself forever." I huff.

"I don't know what you're talking about." I answer by crossing my arms, Trying my best to look strong, But I know and he knows I'm lying.

He sighed and crossed his arms too, looking at me seriously "You and your sister can't admit what you feel, You protect yourself behind walls, but, When time will those walls around you hold? eventually they will explode and someone can get hurt. " I frowned at his words. They were so deep and meaningful in so many ways that they made me rethink.

My father is not here, my mother is not here, And someone has to go down the walls, the problem is that neither I nor Hope wants to go down, We don't want to suffer anymore, we don't want to look vulnerable anymore and that's painful, 'cause we attach to our walls to survive, To not have to be hurt, not to have to lose…

This protected us from hurt but also kept us from being happy. Hope lowered the walls to Landon, and was hurt. And I'm scared, What if I lower the walls for Josie and let me down? The fear of suffering is great, but the fear of not being happy is also…

I did not realize that a tear fell from my eye. Until I felt a hand on my shoulder and left my reverie again, Professor Caius smiled sadly at me.

"Taylor, you can talk to me, you know that, right?" I took a deep breath and nodded slowly.

I could feel tears wanting to come out, my eyes stinging "I need space, I'm sorry," I got up and walked away, I ignored my name calls and continued down the hall, I ended up beating someone in the path and holding her before it fell and for a brief moment I was surprised when I saw Josie.

She looked surprised too but her expression softened and turned into concern "Taylor, hey what -" I shook my head and released her, I could already feel tears wanting to come out and couldn't take it, I didn't want anyone to see me like this. I hurried past her and up the stairs, I heard her call my name but ignored it and used super speed to get to my room.

I opened and slammed the door, Scaring Hope I now realized was in the room. She looked alarmed at first but when she saw me she was worried.

She stepped forward to me "Hey, what's up? Taylor, why are you like this?" she asked in a worried voice. I closed my eyes but that didn't stop some tears from falling, I clenched my jaw to try to keep myself from falling apart.

" Sorry." I whispered, containing a sob.

"For What ?" She asked gently, and put her hand on my shoulder.

"For not preventing you from getting hurt," I say. She didn't answer me for a few moments, She sighed "Come here." She spoke and pulled me into a hug that I returned.

I rested my chin on her shoulder and felt a few tears fall, she rubbed my back gently "Shh ... It's ok, It wasn't your fault, I should have heard you before"

"What if you get hurt !? Hope, he won't stay here and I can see your eyes shining when you look at him, you have to get away," I advise, she snorts nonchalantly. We were in our room, Luna and Kaleb left for the party to give us privacy, Landon stayed in the library while waiting for Hope.

Hope is in the bathroom getting dressed, and soon she comes out dressed, She looks at me.

"I'm fine, Landon won't hurt me, Relax, as you said yourself, he won't stay." she tells me. I sigh and cross my arms looking worried.

"Hope, even small moments can cause a huge disaster," I say and she sighs and walks past me to the door.

She stops and turns to me "I'll be fine, really, you have nothing to worry about," she said and left closing the door behind her.

"I apologize, you were right and I should have walked away. It was not your fault." She whispered and I sniffled and pulled away, wiping my tears with my hands.

"I shouldn't be crying, Geez, I feel pathetic," I say opening my eyes and she laughed slightly

"You're not, and never will be, OK?" She says smiling. and I nod.

"OK," I smiled a little and she hugged me again.

" Together For aways …"

"and forever," I complete. she releases me.

"And I have to tell you something," she took a deep breath before continuing "I… I used dark magic to find Landon," she says and I widened my eyes.

"Hope… -"

"I know, I know, I shouldn't, but it was the only way and I was angry and in a hurry then…"

I nodded, "It's okay, At least you told me, Huh, Well I found it strange the blood running down my nose earlier this morning." Hope's face changed to alarm and I reassured her "Relax, I'm fine, nothing to worry about. " She sighed with relief and nodded.

"OK, well, I have to go with to find him and-" She interrupted me before I proclaimed that I would go with her. "You're not going at all, I caused it and I will settle."

"but-"

"Taylor," she looked at me scoldingly and I shut up "I know you want to kill him, and you're not the only one, I want to, but you're already blacklisted by and I don't want you to stay with more problems, "she says." You'll stay here, do it for me OK, "I sighed in frustration.

"That's a low blow." I say and she laughed.

"Alright, I'm going, I'll be right back, Try not to get in trouble until then, okay?" She speaks smiling at me and I nod with a smile back.

"Ok, now, go, this stupid smile thing will make me puke," I say with a frown, she laughed and walked past me to the door.

"I love you too Little Brother!"

"Hurry up!" I shout back and she laughed even harder as she closed the door.

As I couldn't go with Hope to shred Landon, I decided to watch the game, which may or may not be a good idea and Penelope Parke is incredibly annoying when she wants to be.

"Why are you still here? Shouldn't you be hunting your sister's boyfriend?" Penelope asked and I tried to ignore, We were on the benches near the cheerleaders.

I take a deep breath to calm my nerves.

"That's none of your business." I say and she snorted.

"You're not fun, Mikaelson." she said and I sighed. I saw Josie talking to Lizzie a little farther down the side, Lizzie stepped back to call the others and then Josie's brown eyes noticed me and softened.

Then Josie walks over to me and sees Penelope next, who gives a smug smile, Josie rolls her eyes and then looks at me.

And I try to ignore the fact that my heart is racing, Please let's not start this conversation here or today, I'm not in the mood for this now. I kept repeating this to myself Mentally.

" Okay here ?" she asked and I sighed with relief inside. She looked straight at me and I looked away and looked at anything but her eyes.

"Yes, it's fine." I say . Josie doesn't seem to believe it and looks at Penelope with what appeared to be accusation.

Penelope laughed and raised her hands in surrender.

"Relax jo, I did nothing, Just talking," she says smiling sideways.

I sighed and got up. Their eyes went to me and I folded my hands. "This conversation is really encouraging but I'm going to the stands, have fun." I say and Josie opened her mouth to speak but I had already turned to climb the bleachers. I saw Luna

Waving to me in the last rows and I climbed to sit beside her on the bench, She smiled and I smiled back in a friendly manner.

When my eyes returned to Josie Below, I saw her expression become hurt and for a moment I regretted walking away, but honestly I didn't want to be in the middle of Josie and Penelope.

Josie totally ignored Penelope and then turned to join the others in the game.

Luna poked me in the shoulder and I turned my face to her. She smiled and did something with her eyes toward Josie.

" It's her ?" I nod.

"yes, and the ex is right there." I say.

"Are you going to talk to her?" Luna asks.

"About the kiss? I don't want to talk about it, not right now."

"So are you just going to ignore that fact?" I sighed, she doesn't stop asking questions, does she?

" Exactly ." I answered and Luna snorted.

"And when she talks about this? What are you going to do?"

I almost hit my forehead in frustration.

"Want to stop asking questions please? I don't want to think about that right now." I say and she raised her hands in surrender.

"Sorry, I'll stop talking," she says and I sigh in relief.

"thank you" and we watched the game.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Watching the game I came to the conclusion that they were being massacred, even a blind would realize it, but they had to do it, at Alaric's request, of course.

But it's humiliating, honestly.

The coach blew his whistle and everyone on the team moved away to the seats and close to the cheerleaders. I sighed and got up, quickly got down to and walked over to the team, more precisely Josie. I grabbed a bottle of water from one of the tables. I approached her, She didn't notice me until I offered her the water bottle.

She looked at me and then at the bottle. She smiled shyly and took the bottle from my hand, the strange thing was the brush of fingers when it happened and we both ran lightly, looking away.

"thanks," she whispered and I nodded.

"You're welcome," I say. she takes a sip and then looks at me while holding the bottle.

"Us…" a no, what is she— "Is that okay? With us, I mean." Oh thank God, she didn't mention that part of The kiss. She looked at me with reluctant eyes, As if afraid of the answer.

"Yeah, sure it is," I answer as kindly as possible, I didn't want her to think I was mad at her, because I'm not.

She sighed "I… I'm sorry for running away, I just…" I interrupted her.

"Look alright, just ... Let's not talk about it now OK, another time we'll talk about it, meanwhile can we pretend it didn't happen?" His gaze saddened and I regretted saying it "I didn't mean that way, it's just a weird mood between us and it's uncomfortable, I like talking to you, excluding the fact of the boring- "with his scolding look, I scratched my throat to correct myself" The fact of your sister , Hate me. Well, to put it simply, I don't want this weird mood to continue between us, And we even talk about what happened, we can act as we used to, you know? Normally, so it doesn't get weird. " I say and she smiles.

" OK." I arched an eyebrow.

" OK ?"

" OK ". She says and I nodded.

" Cool ... ah so .. "I was embarrassed not knowing what to do now, Josie's laughter surprised me.

"You're not good at this." she says laughing.

Confused I asked "What?"

She looks at me "In driving away the weird weather, you're not good at it." She stops and smiles amused.

And I smiled "Sorry? Did you become an expert on this by any chance?" I ask fun.

She arches an eyebrow "I'm doing great so far, unlike certain people." She looked sideways smiling.

I scowled "Why do I think this indirect was for me?" I ask jokingly.

She laughed "Where are my congratulations? Hmm?" She says smiling.

I smiled and clapped my hands playfully.

Josie smiled brightly. But to our misfortune, Lizzie arrived with a grumpy face and looked me up and down.

"Josie, why are you mixing with this scum?" She asked standing next to Josie and looking at me with disgust.

Josie's smile and mine disappeared and were replaced by a scowl.

"Lizzie, stop." Josie says and Lizzie looked a little surprised.

" Seriously, he's an idiot." I rolled my eyes and snorted.

"Look who's talking…" I grumble and she looks at me annoyed.

"I'm talking to my sister, not you, stay out of it." She says and Josie looks at her with an unfriendly look.

"No," Josie said and Lizzie and I looked at her. "Don't talk to him like that." and Lizzie and I look a little surprised. Did she just defend me? Lizzie's?

"What's wrong with you today?" Lizzie asks. Josie opened her mouth to answer but I interrupted her.

"It's okay, I'm leaving." I say, I don't wanna cause discord between the two, They are sisters, Family, And I don't wanna cause trouble for them.

Josie intervened "Wait, Taylor you don't have to-"

I held up a hand. "Josie," She looked into my eyes. "It's okay." And I turned away, turned and walked out up the bleachers stairs without turning back.

I sat again next to Luna, who smiled.

" You talked to her ." She says and I nodded.

"Not as much as I would like." I say .

"But it was progress, right?" I smiled.

" Yes it was ."

During the game, the salvatore team started to play well and win (Which Alaric wouldn't like to know at all) And then, Well, I noticed josie saying something on the floor (Maybe I paid her more attention than the others , just a little bit) and hold a little bit of grass, And soon after I saw Kaleb Lose the ball, Hmm ... She did it.

All the rivals applauded and claimed victory.

I got up, Luna stopped me with a hand on my shoulder and I looked at her confused.

She smiles and offers a little blue flower "Give it to her."

" Where did you get that from ?" I ask .

"you would be surprised what is under those stands." She says smiling. I laughed and picked up the flower.

"Thanks, I guess." And I went down the bleachers again, And followed the path to Josie, Which slowly, Like the others, Came to the seats.

Lizzie saw me and snorted, steaming away, I ignored her and passed her to Josie. She saw me and smiled.

"Hey," I said.

"Hey." She looked shy and I thought it was super cute Yeah she was cute.

"You did very well today, In the game," I say and she arched an eyebrow.

"We got lost, you know right?" she says and I laughed nodding.

"Yes, you know, one person once told me that losing can be a victory, if for the right reasons." I say and she laughed.

"Look, Taylor Mikaelson being a philosopher, what else do you hide?" She asked crossing her arms and smiling.

"You'd be surprised," I say and take a step closer, just a step away. I raise my hand and place the small flower behind her ear. Her eyes don't leave me a second as I do this.

"That was for the Victory Bar Defeat," I say smiling, letting mine fall to my side again.

She smiles shyly "And if it was a victory bar victory, What would I win?" She asked and I surprised her with the boldness of Josie, she looked at me differently.

I smile sideways, move a little closer to get close to your face and look deep into your brown eyes "have a victory bar victory and you'll see." I say and she blushes at the closeness and my words. And I lean in slowly and I see her get tense, I must be smiling like an idiot now.

I kiss her on the cheek, take a moment And walk away quickly, already feeling my cheeks heat up, I have no idea where that courage came from "See you at school, Miss Saltzman," I say and smile watching her cheeks turn red . And I nod as I walk away on my back , She waves back with a shy expression and I turn to go back to school.

I was sitting on the bed reading a book when Hope Arrived. I was confused by his sad expression and soon got up.

"Hope, are you alright?" I asked worried and she shook her head biting her lip, I sighed and walked over to her, and pulled her aside by the shoulder to sit on the bed, she went without resistance and sat on the bed next to her my side.

She was downcast and my concern increased.

"Hey, what is it?" I asked gently, She held a paper in her hand but I dared not pick it up.
She just looked at me and I saw a silent tear come down, I sighed again and hugged her sideways, kissing her forehead gently.

"Tay ..."

"Shh ... You tell me later, It's ok ..." I say and felt her nod and lean her head against my shoulder as I held her with one arm around her shoulders.

We both looked at the photo of our family on the dresser, The Mikaelson Family.
