Dear Bullies

*5 years later*

Josie was in New York for the opening of her new Clinic. She branched out the old one but this time it was in the states. She re-named it to Parker Medical Clinic after her mother who was a doctor.

The last time she was in home was about 3 months ago. She had been flying back and forth between Paris and New York for the last 5 years.

Now at the age of 24 she is one of the top CEO with great success. Even though she only got 2 medical clinics she manage to invest in other businesses like restaurants and hotels.

People did not know that she was the sole owner of Slatzman Parker industries that builds prosthetic body parts and automatic wheelchairs.

She did all that alone. She had worked her ass off just to get where she was now and also became one of Forbs Magazine top 100 bachelorette under 30.

On the side of her private life she had not spoken to her sister since they buried their parents and she haven't spoken to Hope in weeks.

The day she left Mystic Falls she thought that she would never see the red head woman again but she was wrong.

Hope took a plane to Paris to fight for Josie. She wanted her to see that she change and that the only woman she ever loved was her. Hope didn't want anyone else.

"Hope what are you doing here?" She asked the shorter girl.

"I came here to see you"

"Why? I told you that I don't want anything to do with you anymore"

"I know, but I can't let you go.. not now that I finally got you"

"You don't have me Hope"

The two woman stood there staring at each other. Josie could see that the shorter woman was tiered, like she hadn't been sleeping at all.

"Hope, go back home and leave me alone" she said.

The other woman just shook her head.

"No.. I want you to give me another chance.. please Josie.. I know.. that I screwd things up but I love you.. I have always loved you so please I'm begging you to give me a chance"

Josie could feel her tears running down her face. As much as she wants to she promised herself to put herself first and leave her past.

"Please leave before I call security" with that Hope left the brunettes building.

That day change everything.

Josie went to see her clinic to have a meeting with her staff.

It was 30 minutes into the meeting when they heard a gun go off and screams could be heard.

One of the staff alerted the police while Josie and her friend Balentien went to see the commotion.

When they saw what was happening they both froze. A gun man was robbing the place and one of the staff members was on the floor.

Hope was in the waiting room when it happened. She saw what was about happen and when she saw Josie coming out from the office her she felt scared for the brunette.

She felt that she had to do was to save her. Josie was her only priority but she had to consider of the other people too.

The man was high and wanted another fix, he was being irrational and was not thinking straight.

Hope took this opportunity to sneak behind him and use her taser and take the gun.

The man fell down and hit the floor. She put her handcuffs on him and ran straight to the brunette.

"Josie, are you okey?" Hope asked and pull the taller girl so she could hold her.

Josie held on to Hope shaking. She turned around and ordered her staff to help make sure that no one was hurt.

The cops came and took statements and when Hope was done she looked at Josie who was still shaking and looking around the room.

She walked over to her and pull the brunette back to the real world.

Josie held on to Hope like her life depended on it. She buried her face in the older womans neck.

"Babe can we go home now?" Josie wined not wanting to be there.

"Yeah, let's go" Hope took her hand and drag her out of the building.

The when they got home Hope tapped a hot bath and told the brunette to take a bath while she cooked dinner for them.

When Josie came out of her bath Hope was just serving their plates.

She stood by the door frame staring at her girlfriend. Wondering how far the got.

From being enemys to lovers and now they are semi-living together.

Josie was on her way out from her office when she was stopped by the front desk.

"Ma'am, this came for you" the girl said.

She took the note that was hanging from the vase.

'I'm sorry for everything. Please just meet me and talk.

Much love. H.M'

Josie was confused over what she wanted to do. She still loved her but she couldn't forgive her for what she had done. She took the flowers and thanked the girl.

For weeks the girl kept on sending her flowers with love notes until one day Hope was standing in the lobby with flowers in her hands.

Josie didn't want to talk to her but she was cut off by Hope. She still remembers every word.

"I'm just here to say goodbye. I'm flying back home tonight" the shorter girl said.

Josie didn't know what to say.

"I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry for everything I've ever done to you. I know that I should have done things differently. Especially when it came to my feelings for you"

Josie looked at her, tears about to come down.

"I love you Jo, I always have and always will even if you don't feel the same way for me anymore"

Josie's tears was running down.

"It's only you Jo, no one else. I don't want anyone else but you"

Hope gave her the flowers and gave her a sad smile. She took a last look at her and then walked out the door.

Josie stood there watching the girl she loved walk away.

After debating whether or not she should go after the girl she loved.

Hope had just packed her luggage and was about to check out. There was a knock on her door.

When she opend it she didn't expect to see Josie standing there. Crying.

She was about to say something when Josie kissed her lips and pushed her back in her room and closed her door.

That night everything change. They talked about what to do. Even if Josie was still on edge about the past.

Hope told her that she was willing to wait for her until she was ready.

It took 6 months for them to finally confirm that they where exclusive. From there their relationship was changing slowly but better.

"Baby are you okey" Hope's voice took her back from her mind.

She smiled at her girl and walked over to the table.

She leans over and kiss her.

"Thank you for saving us today" she says.

Hope puts her arms around the taller womans waist and kisses her lips.

"I would do anything to protect you. I won't let anyone hurt you like I did" she whispers.

After Hope went to visit Josie in Paris she got in the police academy. She got ranked as number 1 in her class and from there she just climbed the ladder to become the youngest female Detective in her station.

From there she got job offers that she turned down but one that took her to New York. She only took the job so that she could see Josie since she was building her new Clinic there.

Not long ago her Sargent retired and she was promoted to Sarget.

At the age of 25 she was became the youngest Detective that became a Sargent. Sure she pissed people off but she was good at her job. She knew that she would get some heat but her team backed her up cause her work spoke for themself.

She was a good leader that would make sure that her team was safe. Josie was scared first when she found out that her girlfriend wanted to become a police but she supported her decision and stood by her.

People was surprised to see Josie with Hope. They couldn't belive that someone like Josie would pick Hope.

The shorter girl still remembers the day Josie med her mark on her station that everyone in her department would never forget.

"I can't believe that someone like Mikaelson bitch could get a woman like Josette Saltzman, she is to good elegant for her and even good looking. I bet she is just using her for money" the man said.

Josie heard him say when she was behind him.

"HOPE MIKAELSON IS NOT USING ME" the voice boomed over the cafe making everyone jump. The officer turned around and was met with a very pissed off Josie Saltzman.

"HOPE MIKAELSON AND I HAVE KNOWS EACH OTHER SINCE WE WHERE KIDS AND JUST BECAUSE WE CHOSE A DIFFERENT PATH IN LIFE DOES NOT MAKE HER LESS THEN ME JUST BECAUSE I EARN MORE THEN SHE DOES IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT SHE IS USING ME. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHERE SHE AND I ARE FROM SO STOP MAKING UP STUPID STORIES ABOUT OUR RELATIONSHIP"

This made the brunette mad. She wanted to smack this guy.

"Hope worked her hard to get where she is. Maybe you should do the same then standing there bitching about her spot. She earned it just like everyone else before her"

"Josie" the shorter girls voice calmed her down.

She walked over to her girl and pulled her to a hug.

"It's fine babe, it does not bother me that some people are idiots. I know what I learned my spot, I can't help that people are jealous" she said smiling at her.

That day no one dared to say another word about Hope and her job since they knew that Josie could end their career.

Hope was happy that a lot had change and that she is finally together with the love of her life.
