Author's note: Ok so I'm so sorry that it took so long for me to update another chapter, it's a long story. But I've decided to post two chapters in one day, so by today the next chapter will also be up *Fingers Crossed*
So this chapter is basically about Julia making a new friend, and having a startling conversation with an old one! Enjoy :D
PS. Go easy on me, like I said, I'm just getting started with the story :) xx

I walk into Mystic Grill, the local pub. I bump into a perky blonde who's muttering to herself.
"I'm so sorry. Actually I'm so sorry that I am sorry. I'm sick of being sorry! I'M JUST PLAIN SICK OF IT!" she says.
Trust me to bump into the Freak of Nature. I look taken aback.
"I'm sorry. I mean it normally this time." she smiles. "Caroline Forbes" she reaches out her perfectly manicured hand. She's really pretty, with piercing blue eyes, waves of golden blonde hair falling down her freckled shoulders. Judging by her dress, she was obviously a person up to date with style.
"Julia Barlow" I smile. "Vampire?" I ask. She looks awe struck. I think she is getting ready to make a break for it.
"Same here" I smile. She nervously smiles too.
"Umm... I'm kind of really in the mood for a vodka cranberry. Care to join me?" Caroline asks.
"Sure" I say. We step into the bar and grab a couple seats.
"A vodka cranberry and scotch" I order.
"Shoot I forgot my wallet." Caroline mutters fumbling through her purse.
"No probs!" I go to the bar tender and look into his eyes. "You serve us on the house." I compel him.
"On the house!" he smiles as he slides us our 2 drinks.
"Wow! Guess it's time for me to take advantage of my powers" Caroline jokes
"Well Duh! So I take it that you don't usually do this stuff?" I ask. She shakes her head.
"If my friend Elena found out she'd be upset. So would I. I mean I don't like taking advantage of people."
Elena. God did she control everyone in Mystic Falls?
I take a sip of my scotch. Alcohol helps supernatural beings loosen up and relax. Plus it helps control the cravings for blood. Best part is that as a TryBrid, I dont get drunk easily.
"So... what brings you here?"she asks.
"Friend slash relationship troubles..." I start off.
"Trust me! I know what you are talking about. This is my hometown and like all my friends except Elena are supernatural beings but her boyfriend Stefan is a vampire and he's actually in my friend circle. Plus I have a boyfriend who is a Hybrid and my other best friend is dating Elena's brother Jeremy and they're having relationship troubles cause Jeremy keeps seeing the ghost of his ex girlfriend who is in fact my ex boyfriend's sister who died because Damon killed her and...and on top of that there's this Klaus issue... And I'm just wondering how things got so screwed up?!" she bursts out! She's breathless by the time she stops. Man this girl can talk.
"I'm sorry.." she apologizes. "I just lost it for a moment there" A moment?!
She finishes her vodka cranberry and stands up.
"I'm sorry. I'm just going to go." she says fumbling in her purse for something. She takes out an iPhone. "It was super nice meeting you though Julia. I gotta go get my life in control. I hope I see you around though..."
"You'll most definitely see me around. I'll just give you my number and you can talk to me whenever you feel out of control." I say and she passes me her phone. "and if you're ever feelin low, let me know. Trust me, my life's tons more screwed up then yours." I say cheerfully as i return her phone after saving her number. "Hmm Ok," She waves and smiles a goodbye.

My cell phone rings and I sprint to answer it.
"Hello love" A British accent murmurs.
My heart just about beats out of my chest. I'm almost positive he can it through the phone.
"Klaus" I say, clenching my jaw.
"I could never have expected you to stoop so low as to come back to Mystic Falls. So enlighten me with the reason why." he muses.
"Well that's for me to know, and for you to find out" I say, trying to maintain a sane tone. Klaus laughs, but its a cold, harsh sound.
"C'mon love, you can't hide your secret agendas from me. I mean, we used to be so close." He pauses for effect. "It absolutely breaks my heart to know, that you, of all people, don't trust me,"
"Well, you see that would be true, if you actually HAD a heart." I say through a clenched jaw and hang up. I run to the bathroom and splash water on my sweaty face and try to wash away the hurt of Klaus as well.
For some reason though, I can't sleep at night, because my mind keeps wandering to thoughts about Klaus, and his beautiful, hypnotizing, magnetizing eyes.
Author's Note:I know this chapter was sort of short, but I promise you, the next chapter will be awesome :D It'll be the start of the beginning of a new love story ;) xxx
