Private Message Between Zachy💩 and Jo😽

Jo 😽
Zach I'm sorry
I really never meant to hurt you
I never actually meant for anyone to find out

Zachy💩
It's okay
We weren't together anymore

Jo😽
But you wanted to get back together
And I should have told you that I didn't when you told me

Zachy💩
It's okay jo really

Jo 😽
I mean there's kind of more

Zachy💩
Oh?

Jo😽
I should have told you this a long time ago
But I didn't actually like you when we started dating
I was terrified of losing you so I just went with him thinking it would be best
Looking back on it, I know it's not
I hurt you way more than I should have
I grew to like you more but I always felt something for Justin that I would never for you
I'm so sorry

Zachy💩
Yeah I kinda figured that out

Jo 😽
Shit you did

Zachy💩
Yeah
You're pretty easy to read especially when I've known you my whole life
There's actually something I should tell you too

Jo😽
Go on

Zachy💩
I slept with Hannah over the summer
A lot

Jo😽
Oh
Okay

Zachy💩
I know what you're going to say
I told you I needed space
But things felt right with her

Jo😽
No I'm happy that you two were happy with each other
I'm sorry that she's gone
That can't be easy for you

Zachy💩
I'm sorry too
I know you loved her

"I really don't get why he's stopped flirting with you so much." Hope Mikaelson stared at Justin Foley from across the hallway at Liberty High School. "It just doesn't make sense. He was acting like he was fucking in love with you or something, and then he just practically ghosts you?"

Josie Saltzman shrugged as she leaned her back against the lockers next to Hope's. "Yeah, I don't know. It's crazy."

Hope's expression softened as she saw Lizzie Saltzman enter the hallway. She looked beautiful, as always. "Hide me." Hope frowned, closing her locker. "I can't believe I have a crush on one girl over my entire lifespan, and she's straight as a line."

"You'll find someone much better than her, trust me." Josie spoke, making eye contact with her twin sister. Lizzie sent her a glare before rolling her eyes as she strutted down the hallway. "God, someone needs to kick her off of her fucking pedestal."

Hope furrowed her eyebrows. "You used to grovel at that pedestal, and I'm still confused as to why you stopped."

Josie shook her head, glancing down at her phone.
