“Should I text Jake?” Caroline asked suddenly frowning as she leaned against the bathroom sink. The bright florescent lights of the bathroom painted a sharp contrast to the darkened club on just the other side of the door. From behind it a loud thumping base was all that was distinguishable. “I heard he’s back in town, I should probably text him.” Somewhere in the back of her head Caroline was shaking herself snapping out that that was the stupidest idea in the world. Because she was over him, honestly and truly she was over him, if anything she wouldn’t mind being his friend because Caroline would of course always care about him. He was her first love, even if he broke her heart more often than he made her happy, and jerked her around from break up to rekindling to break up to rekindling all a consistent and vicious cycle up until he left. She was at a place now where she could just be friends with him, but texting him while she was drunk and admittedly feeling a sudden wave of loneliness was a recipe for trouble. “Yeah, I should totally text him.” She nodded to herself glancing over at Diana for confirmation, and maybe a bit of it did have to do with the girl who’d just been in the bathroom sobbing to her friend about her ex-girlfriend dumping her again. “I mean maybe the fifteenth time is the charm?” Caroline offered unsurely glancing up at the speckled ceiling another wave of loud music coming through the door as it opened and closed again. “But then I would have to kiss him.” Her nose wrinkled at the thought, she really didn’t want to have to kiss him anymore. Dating him again meant kissing him again, that was a connected portion of it. Maybe it bothered her because of Faye? But it also felt like just something to do with his face now. Usually someone having something she wanted made her want it more. “Gross.”

DIANA’S EYEBROWS SHOT UP. it’d been a while since she heard that. she pulled back from looking at the mirror to look over her friend’s face and determined if she was serious. ❝ what? ❞ she wrinkled her eyebrows together. ❝ why would you do that? ❞ jake had been in town a while and caroline hadn’t shown much interest before. ❝ he was terrible to you. at least get him to apologize before jumping back in. ❞ she reached over and grabbed caroline’s hands and made her look into her eyes. ❝ hey, now you’re really falling into old patterns. ❞ diana shook her head. ❝ forget about jake. he’s probably off somewhere moping. tonight is about you! you’re single, let’s just get out there and see if there are any cute guys. i promise kissing any of them will be less gross. ❞ diana hadn’t spoken to jake since her own return. she’d avoided pretty much everyone in the circle like the plague. she didn’t know what she had to say to them yet. ❝ come on, we’re both young and single and cute. there’s got to be someone interesting out there. ❞ she looped her arm around caroline’s.

“good afternoon love.” kol smirked looking over at the witch. “i’m doing wonderful and yourself?” he asked, not caring in the slightest about the answer.in fact, he didn’t even give her time to respond before continuing. things like small talk and patience didn’t exactly come easily to the original.  “where are you headed? to the mansion? do you need a ride?”

SHE WAS STILL GETTING USED TO the entire mikaelson clan. there were so many of them. ❝ ah, ❞ she paused. she took a look around then nodded slowly. ❝ yeah, i guess. ❞ no sense walking alone when they were going to go in the same direct anyway. ❝ thanks. ❞ she ran her tongue over her lips. ❝ i’m surprised klaus finally let you out of his sight. ❞

A calloused breath of laugh unintentionally fell past her lips as Diana’s words filled the shells of her ears. Despite the other’s offer, Faye’s stubborn nature did not waver as her body remained planted on the exact same spot. “I think I’m perfectly capable of standing up by myself.” At that moment, she used the entirety of her body strength to hoist herself upward, but to no avail. Sighing loudly, the brunette reached out to clasp Diana’s hand, conveying her surrender. She hauled herself back onto her feet and immediately loosened her hand out of the girl’s grasp. “Thanks,” she mumbled. “I must admit I’m a little underwhelmed. I would’ve thought you’d turned green and started sporting a broomstick by now.”

IT FELT LIKE THE AIR returned to diana’s lungs when faye accepted her hand. things weren’t entirely different. at least they could be somewhat civil. she rolled her eyes at her next comment. diana crossed her arms over her chest. ❝ very funny, faye. especially considering you’re our resident wicked witch. ❞ she brushed a loose strand of hair out of her face. ❝ besides, i thought you would’ve ruined chance falls by now. you’ve got your solo magic. can’t imagine it’s been easy for the town for the past three months. ❞ the girl hadn’t exaclty been the most responsible. at least they didn’t have a full circle anymore—their power wouldn’t be as strong as when cassie had arrived.

THEY HADN’T SEEN ONE ANOTHER in what felt like forever. elena would’ve been lying if she said things didn’t feel different. she knew the girl once as a friend but with recent ties to the man who would’ve happily killed her, the doppelganger had her reservations. yet now here they were, standing face to face and within seconds elena was left feeling rather uneasy. “uh, yeah, awhile.” she was short, taking deep breaths before speaking once more. “i’m…good. yeah, i mean, all things considered. how—how have you been, diana?” 

DIANA WASN’T AN IDIOT she knew that elena and their friends would be uncomfortable for a while. but they would get used to things. they’d have to. diana did what she had to do. klaus would’ve eventually figured out that elena was the key if diana hadn’t helped him. at least now she could keep an eye on things. she looked over her friend. ❝ that’s... good. ❞ it felt like they didn’t even know each other. ❝ i’m doing fine. i’m actually going back to school. i didn’t think they’d take me back considering i disappeared for a bit there, even missed some deadlines for something. ❞ she forced a smile on her face. ❝ but it worked out. ❞

A guy his age out this late at night probably meant he was up to no good, but Scott really wasn’t at all like guys his age. While most were holding beers, he was drinking coffee like the market had crashed. Speaking of crashing. “Woo,” Scott came to a quick stop at the bottom of the stairs. “that almost ended horribly. Imagine going to the hospital for coffee burns? Not a good look.”

DIANA CHUCKLED A LITTLE. ❝ also very embarrassing. especially if your mother saw me. ❞ she shook her head. ❝ she would never forgive me for hurting you i’m sure. ❞ the brunette tucked a loose hair behind her ear. ❝ also that would be a terrible way to greet you after not seeing you for a while. ❞ she almost asked him why he was by the station, but stiles was probably still working the night away inside and scott was probably there to visit. ❝ sorry, i guess i shouldn’t keep you hostage with my coffee if you’re headed in. ❞

“Diana!” The blonde cheered brightening instantly, taking several long steps to wrap the other girl up in a hug. “I’m—” She paused trying to sum up a deciding word for how she was feeling something positive, something good. All there was however was a bleak blank and turned backs, so she threw on her patented pageant smile and rambled. “—good. Great actually, I graduated with my bachelor’s earlier! You totally missed it, if I knew you were coming home I would have sent you an invite to see if I could lure you back sooner.” Clapping her hands together she bounced once on her toes, Caroline couldn’t believe her luck. Finally somebody who was back who wasn’t ignoring her. Potentially, hopefully, that is. “But you’re here! So who cares, tell me everything you’ve been up to.”

HER EYEBROWS SHOT UP. she’d figured caroline had graduated at the same time as her. then again an extra year wasn’t that crazy. diana probably would’ve felt less insane last year if she hadn’t been working through her first year of law school. it felt liked she’d forgotten everything and everyone in the time she’d left. ❝ congratulations! wow, i need to do something to celebrate. we could do drinks? ❞ she paused and thought about what she’d just said. it wasn’t exactly like she wanted to walk into the grill and see everyone—especially not adam. ❝ honestly, not much. i’m back at constance. only two more years and you’re looking at the next meade lawyer in town. ❞ it felt weird to say. it’d been such a priority. ❝ your mom was nice enough to get me a job working at the station though. part-time so i’m not totally dead-broke. ❞

Faye treaded along the sidewalk at a quickened pace, the sound of her heels sharply punctuating the cobblestone beneath her. Losing her footing, gravity hauled her body downward and she hit the ground with a loud THUD. She cursed loudly as she attempted to scramble to her feet, but only seemed to fail as a result. Dark irises caught sight of a figure approaching her, prompting an audible huff to slip past the girl’s lips. “Just when I thought this day couldn’t get any worse,” she rasped, as she shifted into a more comfortable position on the ground. “If only I smacked my head on the concrete. At least that would’ve spared me from the displeasure of your company.”

DIANA HAD SEEN THE AFFAIR from across the street. she knew faye could handle herself, but watching anyone fall would make diana run over. she stopped cold as faye’s snark reached her ears. ❝ nice to see you too, faye. i was just trying to help. ❞ she threw her arms out a little and let them drop back to her sides. ❝ are you just going to lay there or do you want me to actually help you up? ❞ diana hadn’t approached the girl to fight. if anything she’d hoped that her and faye would’ve stayed on about the neutral footing they’d left on. although it didn’t seem like that was going to happen. ❝ come on, here. ❞ she extended her hand to the other woman.

ALLISON ARGENT WAS AT A LOSS FOR WORDS  ,                        dark colored eyebrows crinkled together as she paused in her steps. it felt like it has been a while since she set eyes on her cousin &  the worry still remains –  she has always been a SAVIOR with a hero complex  ; always needing to save everyone.  with diana …. it was different. how do you save someone who doesn’t want to be saved ?  but it was still relieving to see her.  “ well hello stranger. “  bright smile dipped on her fair face.  “ i think i should be asking you that. “

DIANA LAUGHED AND DIPPED her head down momentarily, then brought her face back up to look at allison. ❝ a little crazy actually. i mean i’ve been back for a little while, but i’ve been keeping it pretty low-key. ❞ her eyes drifted down to her coffee. ❝ i haven’t even told my dad i’m back yet. ❞ she looked up and gave allison a half-hearted smile. ❝ but i’m doing better then i was before i left. promise. ❞ she paused before continuing. ❝ so tell me about you, what did i miss? how was your summer? ❞

[ofletum]

DIANA SIGHED AND walked out of the station, coffee in hand. she had to make her own since going to the boathouse was basically out of the question. plus, she had no idea if cassie still worked at the coffee shop. she got down the bottom of the steps when she paused. ❝ oh. ❞ she blinked a few times. ❝ hey, it’s been a while. ❞ she swallowed. ❝ how are you? ❞

You know I never really do this, I’d much prefer to stay at home.  And I admit I’m rather clueless when it comes to being one on one. Cause I’m a late bloomer, you’ll never see me in the spring. I hesitate to my pruner, ‘cause I’m scared of ever blossoming.

[Verse 1] Home time, I’m getting ready for a long night They say you never miss it ‘til it’s gone Well you’re gone and I wish I’d done it better Mostly I miss having you close to me The only one who really ever knows me And I’m sorry I promise I’ll do better better

[Chorus] There’s a hole in the middle of my heart again Can we start again, can we start again There’s a hole in the middle and it never mends It never mends can we start again

[Verse 2] Some nights, I kid myself I treated you right Lying to myself, I didn’t know If I’m honest, I could’ve done it better You said we had it pretty much perfect And then you told me that you loved me But you’re sorry, you needed something better, better

[Chorus] There’s a hole in the middle of my heart again Can we start again, can we start again There’s a hole in the middle and it never mends It never mends, can we start again

[Bridge] So I guess I’m gonna let you go But you get to keep a little bit of my soul So I guess I’m gonna write you out But I don’t think I can do it to me right now Let’s pretend that time heals all

[Chorus 2] There’s a hole in the middle of my heart again Can we start again, can we start again There’s a hole in the middle and it never mends It never mends But I’ve gotta try to start again

Cause you dragged me down by the heels. Had me busted up for years and years. And now here you come pushing my heart around, all you had to do was be.
