I have a dream

Cara woke up at 10:30 in the morning, feeling exhausted. She opened her eyes and checked her phone first. She had a text from the bank, saying her total was increased by one hundred. Immediately a smile spread across her face, and her heart felt warm with love. Her awesome boyfriend felt so bad for her, not being able to pay for her Nathaniel Meeting Room, that he transferred part of the money, giving her the chance to go anyway. At the thought of Nate, her heart skipped a beat. She absolutely loved him. Not in the way she loved her boyfriend, of course not. She didn't even know Nate, and she wouldn't be seeing him for the first time until next month! Thinking about the convention made her stomach flutter with nerves. How was she ever going to get through that? Ian, Paul, Candice, Matt and Nate… She was going to make a fool out of herself.

'No,' she said. 'I cannot let myself think like that. I have to be strong, and be convinced that I can do this. Sure I can ask Nate for a kiss, and Ian for a hug. Dozens of girls do that every time, so why not me?'

She sat up, and felt her body pulling her down. A bad day, wonderful. Luckily she didn't have to do much today, but it still sucked. She sighed and put on a robe, to go downstairs and get a drink.

When she got back upstairs she put on her TV and her laptop, sighing when seeing her Kol-background pop up. He was so beautiful. 'Too bad he can't be mine,' she muttered. Quickly she covered her mouth. She had a boyfriend! She can't be thinking like this! 'Not that he would even like me,' she thought sadly. She checked her mail and put her laptop away again, not letting herself dwell in misery over something impossible. She grabbed the remote and selected the right episode of The Vampire Diaries season 3. She started rewatching the season after finally knowing who Kol was. She still felt like an idiot not noticing him before, but now she did, and it was a pleasure to finally really see him!

Halfway through the episode she felt her eyelids closing more and more often. 'Fine,' she muttered angrily. 'I'll watch this episode and I'll go to sleep again, even though I am not supposed to.. Stupid rule anyway.' 'Maybe I'll have some awesome Kol dreams.. Who knows?' She shook her head smiling. Damn, she got it bad.

She slipped under the covers when she had turned off her TV and started fantasizing.. 'A Damon and Kol triangle with me! If it's my dream, it doesn't matter Kol died and that Damon finally got together with Elena, even though that's a long way from a happy ending. It could totally happen!' She chuckled under her breath, and drifted off to what was going to be a long dream, picturing Damon sitting on the bar at the Mystic Grill…
