WHO: Hayley Marshall-Kenner and Hope Mikaelson
WHERE: Hope's apartment
WHEN: The morning after finding out Landon was sent home
WARNINGS: TBD
SPOILERS? None

Hayley knew Hope had spent the night with the twins, no doubt drowning her sorrows in greasy food and ice cream in an attempt to numb the pain caused by Landon's departure. However, Hayley was determined to see her daughter the next day, especially after finding out that Hope's father, Klaus, had been sent home too. It would be a double blow to her daughter and Hayley knew she had to be the one to tell Hope that her father was gone too. She needed to be there for Hope, like Hope had been there to tell her about everything that had happened back home. Her daughter needed her and there was no one and nothing that could stop Hayley from getting to her.

She did head to Hope's until later in the morning, figuring her daughter had stayed up late and would need all the sleep she could get (if she managed to get any at all). Hayley arrived, bringing fresh coffee with her, and took a deep breath before knocking on her daughter's door. There was always the chance that Hope would not open the door for her and Hayley would not blame her if she didn't. She was in a lot of emotional pain right now. Still, Hayley was going to try even if her daughter did turn her down.

Being heartbroken wasn't really a new experience for Hope. Not usually over a boy, but she was still familiar with the sharp edges and where it hurt most. The twins had helped last night, joining her for junk food, letting her tell stupid stories and just generally being there for her. It had felt really nice, actually, giving her a few regrets about the way she'd spent her mid-to-late teen years. There was something to be said for being able to just let her guard completely down with other people. But that didn't mean she didn't want some private mourning time, too.

After sending the twins home with promises that she'd be fine, Hope had crawled back into bed. The pillows still smelled like Landon, but now they also had a mix of the Saltzmans. It was almost like school, which was comforting, and of course the bed was soft, unlike the hard world outside of it. Too numb to process the passing of time, it felt like only minutes had passed when a knock came at the door. Figuring it was either the twins or her roommates, she pulled back the covers enough to be heard, then called out from the bed. "I said I was fine!" Which she had said. Didn't make it true, but there was nothing to be done for that except wait.

It was exactly what Hayley expected her daughter to say. Hell, it was what Hayley herself would have said if she was in Hope's place. However, Hayley was nothing if not persistent, especially when it came to her daughter. Despite the small smile playing on her lips, Hayley kept any hint of the expression out of her voice as she called out to her daughter through the door.

"Then there should be nothing stopping you from coming to open the door for your mom." Hayley could easily force her way in, but she didn't want to start out this meeting that way. It was not the tone she wanted to set.

	Hayley felt that suggestion was a good one. She could help people when they arrived and when bad things happened. Maybe beside her own daughter even. "That's a good idea, Hope," Hayley replied. "I could help people when they first arrive and if things end up badly." Hayley held out one of the coffees to her daughter. "Thank you for that suggestion." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
