Hope had just looked between Nick and the letter all the time. She was amazed how the boy could memorise word by word that stood in the letter. She couldn't help but to feel touched about it.

She began to tear a little bit. Nick noticed that tears were escaping her eyes and onto her cheeks. ''hey beautiful don't cry, please. If you don't feel the same way it's okay. I can't stand to see you crying Hope'', he said as he walked to the girl and embraced her.

She was now in his embrace. She took her hands on to his back and hugged him tight. She couldn't help but also smile with tears going down her cheeks. She was smiling because when he talked to her, he began with calling her beautiful. For that, her heart skipped a beat at the way he said it to her.

Hope's pov

Here I was sniffing on the jacket of the boy I like. I just couldn't help it. The letter, the way he spoke from the heart when he said word by word as it stood in the letter.

All the feelings that I couldn't figure out before, I did now in that moment. I'm in love with the boy too and I would very much like him to be mine as he would like I to be his.

Nick's pov

I saw Hope started to tear up and all I wanted to do was to comfort her, so I hugged her. I don't know what she's feeling or what she's thinking. Like was the letter so horrible? Was it okay? Was it too much at once?

I didn't know what the answer is. I just hope whatever it is I hope it's good.

Because I know whether if she feels the same or not I still want her in my life. Together or not. She's one of the best things in my life and I wouldn't change it otherwise.

As Nick and Hope pulled away from their embrace. None of them said anything.

At first they just stood there looking at each other, then Nick looked down.

Nick thinking negative thoughts about why she hasn't spoken yet.

Hope thinking about whether she should say something first or wait until he speaks.

Nick got the thoughts of his mind and looked back at the girl in front of him. He noticed she had still some tears in her eyes, so he came a little closer to her.

He looked into her eyes as she did the same. Taking his hands up to her chink. Looking for her permission to wipe the tears right with her eyes. She understood what he was saying so she nodded.

He gently brushed the tears away until they were gone.

His hands were still on her face, right above her cheeks.

They both got lost in each other's eyes for some seconds, then they both snapped back to reality.

Nick took his hand from Hope's face. Still, he didn't back away, but was close to her.

Nick's pov

The silence is pain for me. I just wish she'd say something, but you know what I'll start first.

''Hope I've been waiting for you to say something, but since you haven't I'll start. I guess the silence, may be because you don't feel the same way about me and that's okay. We can't force people to like us back, that's not how it works. No matter what you feel for them you can't just force them to feel the same''. I stopped and sighed before I went on. ''I won't bother you anymore about this and all. I hope we still can be friends though?''.

When I said that she didn't say anything. Guess that's my answer.

I took my eyes off Hope and looked down. ''I guess that your silence is your answer so, I uhm I'll let you be. So, see you Mikaelson.

As he said that Hope could see the hurt in his eyes. She was about to speak when he started turning around and walk. She didn't know why she didn't say anything before. She guessed it was because she didn't have words. Words to describe how she also wants him.

She looked at him walking and made up her mind. She yelled his name ''Nick''.

Nick turned around and saw Hope was coming at him. Before he could even think what was going on. He felt two warm lips on his. Her lips.
