*peeks from curtain* Hello
Bonnie hasn't been around for two days and it's the first time since he's merged with Luke that he actually wanted to give in to his sociopath tendencies. It's also the first time he realized he actually needed someone in his life to cope with his guilt that he feels festering within him when he stumbles across anything that reminds him of his family, especially his younger brother. He saw a gay couple kissing the other day and his eyes welled up like a fucking weirdo cause he imagined Luke married and just this morning he saw a young guy in his twenties wearing a douchy hipster, checkered shirt and Kai got all emotional again. Stupid, heroic Luke. He wiped his eyes both times under the guise that it was dust, but it was just his inconvenient emotions. He needs to reign these damn feelings in cause their uncomfortable as hell.
The thing with Bonnie is that she doesn't even need to say anything, she doesn't need to comfort him in his guilt (as if she would anyway), they don't need to have any in dept conversation. They don't. She just needs to be there. Next to him, on her rooftop drinking a beer talking about whatever shit comes to mind for the both of them.
He sighs harshly, slumping against his sofa and throwing a glass against his wall and watching it explode in splinters. He feels like a petulant child, he caught himself looking in the glass reflection of his coffee table. His brows are furrowed and he's pouting, he looks like a petulant child.
'Feelings' They are definitely going to be the end of him, "where the flying fuck is she?" He gets up and tries her cell again, he scoffs when he gets her voicemail again for the umpteenth time, he keeps the phone to his ear though and waits until he hears the beep to hang up. What can he say, he likes the sound of her voice. He restrains from throwing his phone against the wall too because well, it was really expensive.
He flops back on the couch again and lays his head against the arm rest. In this moment he wished he had other friends, it's just such a shame he can't tolerate anyone else but Bonnie. Other people bore him, annoy him, piss him off but not her. Well, that's a lie she does piss him off but he's too infatuated by her that it never lasts long except this instance where she's pissing him off a hell of a lot. All she has to do is call him the fuck back, isn't she meant to be a good friend in general, isn't that her thing? Bonnie the friendly witch. Didn't she die a couple times for other people, isn't that how they first met? Her and son of a bitch Dam-
He shut his eyes and took a deep breath, "it could be a coincidence," he sighed, at least he hoped it was. The thing is, another reason why he wants to unleash hell right now is the fact that Damon has also disappeared too, for the past two days. Again, no one knows where Damon is and therefore he should, "calm the fuck down" (Claire's words or is it Carol, Caroline? the blonde one) about Bonnie's disappearance since those two are obviously together doing God knows what. Even Damons 'it's all about me' girlfriend isn't worried about it, "if those two have gone away together then it's for a good reason," Elena told him before promptly shutting the door in his face. Idiot. He busted a couple of windows of the manor and made sure to get Damons bedroom which made him feel a little bit better about the situation. God, he hates that motherfucker with a passion.
But here he is at home, wallowing over a woman that is technically half his age. Life isn't fair at all or it's probably karma, most likely karma. He guesses there's worse things that can happen to him, fuck knows he deserves it, obsessing over a twenty one isn't that bad especially with someone like Bonnie. He rolls his eyes at the thought, she makes him way too sentimental. He can't even blame alcohol or weed on that.
Standing up again for he hopes is the last time, he's going to do something that he's been putting off for a while now. Grabbing his black pea coat, he walks out the door, feeling suddenly nervous and for the first time it's not Bonnie's face that comes to mind.
He roughly exhales as he makes his way up the porch, loud angry rock music greets him. He heard it a couple of houses back, it's a wonder nobody has tried calling the cops on her yet.
He knocks on the door and starts counting to twenty, if he reaches that number he'll walk away and try it another day. Yeah, he knows it's cowardly but this is pretty good for him, he actually made to her house, that's never happened yet. Eighteen, nineteen, twenty...right, that's sign from the stars. Kai is about to turn around to walk back down again when the door swings open, "hey little sis," he does a small, lame wave. He tries to smile but he knows it comes out more of a grimace when Liv's eyes hold nothing but undulated contempt, a small part of his mind notes that Luke and her both have the same eye shape. "I was passing through and I-ahhh," He's immediately sucker punched by an invisible force and a second later he's slammed against the floor all the while the back of his head is continuously being bashed by a tennis racket. He didn't know she plays tennis. "Liv, ow, wait." He's starting to see stars, even worse, he's starting to see Bonnie's face on those stars. Okay, enough is enough.
"Liv," his hand comes up and immediately she's frozen, the racket drops. He gets up, rubbing the back of his head. "Fucking ow," he grips the back of his head and tries not to glare because what right does he have to get angry. "What if someone across the street happened to see what just happened? how would you explain it?" He drops the spell and Liv crosses her arms.
"We're witches you psychopathic asshole," she brushes back her curly, blonde hair and scoffs. "What, come to try and light me on fire again?"
"You remember I couldn't do it, right?"
"And? you're crazy. The only thing that stopped you was because of Luke," she folded her arms, "has he gone away? are we now back with crazy Kai now?"
That kinda stung. "Clearly not," Kai said, gesturing around him, "considering I'm trying to talk to you and not disembowel you." He saw Liv flinch at that and Kai sighed, "can I come in?"
Liv brows furrowed as she regarded him coldly, "in what universe would that ever happen, hmm?"
"Okay," he stuffed his hands in his pocket and looked down, "we'll have it out here." He sighed, "I'm so sorry Liv," he looked up, her face still cold as he continued. "I'm sorry I took him away from you." Liv blinked a little as she straightened up, "I think about him all the time, I think about our other siblings and I know that I'll never be forgiven, by you, by Jo but just know that," he cleared his throat, "I'm really fucking sorry and if you ever need my help with anything at all. I'm here, just know that I'm here."
There was silence between them for a moment before Liv spoke up, "If I was given the opportunity to get Luke back at the expense of you, I'd do it in a heart beat. I'd do it then and I'd do it now."
He gulped as he nodded, "aint that a fact." He ran his hands through his hair, "we don't need to be in each others lives, don't think you'd ever want that." Her silence was confirmation enough, "I just needed to let you know how sorry I am."
Liv nodded, "I'm going to try and take the high road and say thank you for your apology but I will never forgive you, you took away the most important person in my life. That's unforgivable to me." She chewed the inside of her lip as she nodded, "but I acknowledge how sorry you are and..." she exhaled, "that's the best you're ever going to get out of me Kai."
There wasn't really much Kai could do but nod as Liv slowly closed the door, not making any bit of eye contact as she did. He stood there for a couple of seconds before proceeding to walk down the porch. At least she didn't run him through with a poker, a tennis racket is kind of an improvement. He should feel relieved but he didn't feel anything like that at all. He still feels guilt, lots of it, smoldering beneath the surface. He supposes that's what it's like to human, right?
Kai paused when he heard soft RnB wafting through Bonnie's bedroom, it was around dusk and he swears he isn't stalking her home, he just wanted to take the long back to his place...honest. He's gaping, still not really believing Bonnie is back but that feminine shadow walking across her bedroom blinds says otherwise and Kai is climbing up her gutter pole without even realizing it. He could have used the door, he could have used magic but nope, he's already half way up the metal pole when Bonnie peeks her head out the window and Kai nearly looses his grip. How can anyone be so pretty with a face mask and hair rollers in her hair.
"What the hell are you doing?"
Kai huffs as he keeps himself up, he's nearly there. "I see you're back," he says as casually as he can due to the current circumstances.
Bonnie waves from across the street, "thanks Ms. Clarkson, no it's okay. It's that guy...yep, that guy. Have a good evening." She says before flinging the phone behind her, "there's these things called doors? ever heard of them?"
Kai rolled his eyes, "yeah, whatever," he eyes widened a second later when Bonnie came out of her window, in a tank top and shorts, like really short shorts. Kai nearly let go, was that her plan all along, was she trying to kill him? He nearly laughed when he saw her arms flailing uselessly, trying to reach for him every couple of seconds and thinking better of it. "Bon, can you step back a little?"
Bonnie nodded, watching as Kai flung himself towards her roof, his palms planted against her bedroom sill, he nearly knocked over a potted plant in the process. Bonnie's gaze flickered over his face and her brows raised, "are you okay?"
Kai's head tilted, not really sure what she was on about until her hand slowly reached out to him, his heart raced in anticipation but her hand faltered, her hand clenching slightly as she dropped it, she motioned to her own face and said, "you have a black eye forming."
Kai shrugged, laughter sounding strained even to him as he said, "you know me. Word vomit, sometimes I can't control it."
Bonnie nodded, "hope you didn't say anything too dickish."
Kai pointed to his face, "obviously I did."
Bonnie smiled a little as she looked away. "Ms. Clarkson thought I was getting robbed," she said folding her arms and his eyes followed the movement, eyeing her cleavage before realizing himself, he cleared his throat and looked away.
He shrugged, "what kind of idiot thief robs someone that's already in the house?"
"Probably the kind that isn't familiar with doors," she's smiling playfully and Kai almost forgets he's suppose to be mad at her. Almost.
"Where were you Bonnie?"
Her smile slowly drops and she tilts her head towards her window, "the wind is picking up." She motions him inside, "come in before we both fall off."
He follows after Bonnie, stepping into her bedroom when he hears her gasp, she turns towards him and frowns. "Why didn't you tell me I look like a swamp monster?" The next moment she's darting out of her room and heads, he presumes, to the bathroom. A second later he hears facets running.
He looks around her room, everything seems to be the same since the last time he saw it about a week ago, only the black backpack is the dead give away of the road trip she had with the vampire. "Head downstairs," he hears Bonnie call out suddenly, her voice slightly muffled, "and take out the lasagna," she pauses for a second, "please."
Eyes still planted on the bag he gets up and walks downstairs, he immediately takes off his jacket because woah, it's really warm in the living room. He walks into the kitchen and head towards the oven, it immediately opens and the lasagna is hovering a couple feet away from him. He gestures casually towards the table as he opens the fridge, not even bothering to look when he hears a soft thud. He grabs a cold water bottle and guzzles it down.
"Want some?" Kai nearly sputters when he hears her footsteps make her way towards him, her arm also reaching for a water bottle. "I made loads." She grabs two plates. He notices her face mask is off and her hair is tied up in a high bun, the shorts are gone too, replaced with baggy pajama bottoms.
"I feel like you're evading my question," her form stills before she he hears her sigh. And because he thought he'd go for broke, he also asked, "and why was Damon with you? don't you hate the guy."
Bonnie turned around then, "Lily is dead."
Kai's brows furrowed as he nodded, "and you didn't think to let anyone know?" You didn't let me know, he wanted to say.
"Damon came to me with a plan three days ago and it worked, she's dead and I told him it was the last time I'm ever helping him. I'm the one that brought Lily out."
"Bringing Lily out wasn't your fault," Kai said, annoyed she's putting the blame on herself.
"I still did it and she killed innocent people," she sighed, "I righted my wrong as best I could and I told him I was done." She lifted her plate, "and I'm celebrating with food and a marathon of Scream Queens."
Kai walked closer to her, eyeing her closely, "you could have told me. I could have helped."
He watched her green eyes flutter as she met his, she sighed and took a small step back. "It wasn't your fight Kai. Damon and I fucked up that day, we had to clean up our own mess. Just let this go." She looked at him pointedly.
They continued their staring contest for a moment and Kai's neck started to heat up under the scrutiny of her eyes, he unconsciously dipped his head wanting to move closer to her but Bonnie quickly moved back. Kai also took a step back and sighed, "fine. You win."
That smug smile was back and she shrugged, "seriously though, if you haven't eaten. My lasagna is awesome." Taking a hefty piece for herself, she left the kitchen and made her way towards the living room, "if you're staying you have no choice of T.V options."
He smiled despite himself, "do I ever?"
"Hurry up, Scream Queens is starting."
"What the hell is that?" Kai mouthed as he made his way towards the living room, hoping it's not one of those pageant shows.
"Did she just call them idiot hookers?"
Bonnie laughed, pillow tucked under her chin, "yeah."
The last chapter was updated in April, ahhh! I'm sorry this hasn't been updated in so long, I suck, I have no concept of time. The next chapter is halfway done so it should be up sometime next week. And apologies for any mistakes I made.
