I stared at bottom of my glass blankly as the soft music played around me. Soft chatter and jazz music filled the air as the people danced to the music with their partners at the centre of the room. The compound looked as alive as it could despite the usual chaos.
Kol decided that it was the best decision to throw a party after we had finally defeated a witch coven who had been pain in our arses for almost a year now.
The witches were absolute bitches truly saying. One of them had unfortunately managed to hit me with a spell before i had managed to kill her with my own spell. It was a slow poison kind of death spell. I told no one about it. Not even my dearest best friend, Hayley. How could i? She is with a child. I don't want to stress her and I'm positive i can find some solution in some grimores. Except that it has already been a week and i have started coughing blood.
But that wasn't my main concern at all as i stood at the bar sipping on my wine staring blankly at klaus and cami dancing while lost in each other's eyes across the room. I almost broke the glass in my grip before Hayley came over to me and i relaxed my grip.
"Jackson and Elijah are staring each other's soul down and I'm so irritated by this boy drama-"
I snapped out of my hateful stare at cami and looked at Hayley, she looked beautiful in the comfy dress she was wearing with her bump. I chuckled under my breathe at her words trying to feign indifference when she narrowed her eyes and tracked my gaze before realising and softening and giving me a look of pity. I elicited a groan.
"Don't give me that look"
She sighed and shifted closer me, rubbing my arm. I hated that she pitied me. But the thing i hated more was that i had no rights to feel that burning jealousy inside me. He was not mine to claim. But still watching his hands on her waist made me clench my jaw so hard it might break. Made me want to k-
"He's making a mistake! He'll realise it-"
"Hayley he's in love with her!"
I exclaimed cutting her off mid-sentence from her consolidations for my situation. I softened and leaned back in my bar stool.
"I'm fine, Hayley. You should go solve Elijah and jacksons boy drama. I'm fine."
I sighed and tried to convince her and gently turned her towards Elijah and jacksons direction. She tried to protest but one look from me had her moving back to them.
Before i could refill my glass, this time with bourbon, to try extinguish the burning in my chest, a voice came from behind me making me turn towards it with a smile.
Kol simply took my hand and gave a kiss to it dramatically before pulling me to dance with him.
"I can't bring myself to see you mop around and waste such a night of celebration without a dance in such a beautiful dress with a handsome lad"
He smirked as he said that and we were already swinging to the music. I laughed a little as i co-operated with him and tried not to react to klaus and cami dancing just a couple away from us.
"Oh sure and I'm guessing you are the handsome lad?"
I giggled and for the first time that evening i focused on something else other than the burning hate in my chest.....or rather it's just the damn spell. Soon partners were swapped and i ended up with marcel. He also managed to make me have a good time.
After a few more drinks with Rebekah, avoiding looking at klaus or cami, avoiding when either of them were near me or were approaching me. Finally the party of over. Guests had already left and we all gathered to relax a bit in the living room and do a quieter and actual celebration of the win.
I muttered a spell under my breathe to conjure water in a empty glass and plop down beside Hayley pretending to be fine. She obviously noticed and so did Rebekah.
I closed my eyes and leaned back sipping on the water as i pretended to be fine while tuning out the voices of bex and Hayley cussing klaus under their breathes.
"I'm fine guys stop talking now someone might hear"
I was not fine. I felt as if someone had ripped open my chest and pulled my heart out and crushed it their bare hands.
I wanted cami to die. She's an angel and she had done nothing wrong ever but still i wanted her dead. I had closed my eyes because i could not let anyone see the tears. None of them would let it go without getting the truth out.
Ever since i had accompanied Hayley here as her witch bestfriend since childhood, after she ended up pregnant with klaus's child, i had eventually became a part of this family with Hayley. Rebekah and i clicked off the fastest. Kol and davina became my friends after we bonded over magic. Elijah and i just became friends somehow. I met marcel through bex, we bonded over the fact of family abandonment. Klaus, however, was a different case.
It started with banters with him. We disliked each other a lot at first. Then i saw him through his mask of indifferenence and he saw through mine. It slowly led to being each others comfort. Late night coffees, stolen glances, shared secrets. I fell for him and thought that he felt the same.
I saw the way he looked at her. His eyes held that spark. The same spark that once those eyes used to hold for Caroline forbes in mystic falls. Except then, i didn't feel that deep ache in my chest wishing for it to be me he looked at like that. I wasn't in love with him then but i sure was now.
Camille was an angel. She was strong, smart beautiful and sweet. Even to me. I, however, couldn't help the bitterness in my tone. The same bitterness that had led to multiple arguments between me and klaus. I hated her. Absolutely and definitely. No matter how much of an angel she could be.
Bex, dav and Hayley were the only ones who knew about my feelings for the psychiatrist, the others were convinced by my act of "I'm fine". Deep down i knew that kol and marcel were just as aware but decided to give me space.
I opened my eyes when cami and klaus came back flushed after some minutes. I didn't even glance in their direction even tho i felt their gazes.
I felt burning pain in my chest from the spell intensify and i coughed roughly drawing attention of everyone. As i tried to rub away the blood before anyone of them could notice, i surely underestimated their vampire senses of smell. Hayley pulled my hand away and gasped horrified when she saw the blood.
"Omg! You are bleeding! You-!"
"That's blood! Are you fine?! What's happening?!"
Before anyone could say anything more i rushed to the bathroom and immediately vomitted into the lavatory. I felt klaus's worried presence beside me as he held my hair back and held me up. The warmth of his hand on my neck and waist was the only thing i could register before i finished and realised i had vomitted blood.
I could feel everyone standing behind horrified as i leaned back into klaus with no strength to protest it at all. If this is how i die, then i would rather be in his arms. He held me against him and that's the last thing i remember before i blacked out.
When i woke up, i felt the warmth of silk sheets around me. Klaus's scent filled my senses and calmed me down instantly. I felt a warm grip on my hand. I slowly opened my eyes and realised the familiar burn and ache of the spell was gone.
I was met with the sight of the bedroom of klaus and i was in his bed. My clothes were changed into my own pajama set. I looked down at my hand and saw klaus sitting on the floor beside the bed and asleep while holding my hand. I tried to sit up without disturbing him. Although he instantly woke up anyways.
"You are awake- wait are you feeling alright now, love?"
Oh god damn his voice and that fucking endearment that pierced into my heart.
I tried it to be as cold as possible in my current state. He was still in clothes from the party. I went to stand up before he pushed me back down.
"Oh no you are not going anywhere, love. You need to rest and you need to tell me exactly why you told not a single person about that curse that could have killed you."
His voice was commanding and absolutely angry with a hint of worry.
"I don't owe you an explanation, klaus. Not a single one."
I tried to stand up but his grip was stronger. He glared at me through his eyes with anger and something else i couldn't decipher.
" What is your problem, love?! You have been acting strangely since the last two months. I am not gonna let you push me away!"
"Why do you suddenly care,klaus?!"
"Because i love you and i almost lost you!!"
He yelled and i froze. He immediately realised what he just said and bit his tongue. I looked in his eyes searching for something that would tell me that what he said was a lie but i found none.
I hated how pathetic my voice sounded as i said that. He looked confused then slowly realisation dawned on him and his mouth parted before he paused and finally said.
"No, love. It was always you! She is nothing more than a friend to me, love. Not now not ever. You however, my dearest loveliest love, you are my heart and soul. I am so sorry that i made you feel that way. Made you feel that i love someone else but i do not. You own my dead heart, darling. She can never be you"
I took a whole moment to process his words before i let the tears flow.
"No i saw the way you look at her. You love her klaus"
I tried to wipe the tears but he did that with his thumbs and pressed his forehead to mine.
"She fasinates me, yes but love you take my breathe away. Don't you see? You mean the most to me than anything else in this world my love."
I looked at him in disbelief and felt relief flood through me like water rushing down a dried throat. I closed the distance between us and kissed him. It was just us pressing our lips together finally and breathing each other in. After a minute i pulled away.
" i think i can love you again without the paranoia"
I let him embrace me and hold me to his chest.
" I'll earn your trust love. I will work hard and make you realise how much you mean to me so that you will never doubt my love again. And don't blame yourself, I'm the one at flaut here entirely. Please let me win your forgiveness"
I giggled and rested my head under his chin.
" So you'll do everything?"
