Rebekah Mikealson sat down at the table were her ex, Stefan Salvatore, his brother, Damon Salvatore, her best friend, Caroline Forbes, and ex's girlfriend, Elena Gilbert eat. She sits down right as Elena's in the middle of an important conversation, "I have two sisters. As you know, I'm adopted." That was big news for about a hot second (two hours) then as she been told someone was found murdered. Poor kid was attacked by some unknown animal. "I was looking into my adoption and found out I have two sisters: Katherine and Tatia. I tracked them down and now they're coming stay for a while."
"Katherine?" Rebekah had heard that name before. "Tatia?" She heard the name too. Why did she remember that name? What made these names so significant... so special that they were etched in her memory without an explanation? Where had she learned them?
"Guys, guess what?" Rebekah paused. When she said 'Guess what' or 'You'll never believe' she loved people asking her what. She lived for the moment when people 'played' along. It made her feel like they listened to what was said even if she knew they were probably faking. It made her feel like she...mattered.
"What?" Stefan asked. Stefan knows Rebekah more than he knows himself. Stefan has known Rebekah since she was seven years old, were best friends with her for a year. They did everything and nothing together. Then they started dating in the third grade. They did everything and nothing together. Not much of difference in the relationship, just the title, until they were a freshman. That's when Stefan and Rebekah became serious... if that makes sense. They broke up the summer before junior year. They didn't remain friends. They talked every now and then. Mostly, more like every time, when he was apologizing for his...girlfriend. Just thinking about it makes Stefan want to roll his eyes. It's a complicated 'relationship'. Nothing like his relationship with Rebekah. Stefan digresses. He knows she needs someone to say something back. It makes Rebekah feel and validate that someone is listening and that she matters. That's not right. Rebekah doesn't need someone to tell her she matters, she knows that. She just... it's complicated.
"Nik's coming to visit today." Rebekah sees something shift in Caroline's face. Caroline's expression is a mixture of feelings. Anger. Excitement. An emotion she can't pinpoint. She thinks it's hate. "I'm excited." Everybody can tell Rebekah cares a great deal about her brother. All her family really but she connects a great deal with Klaus or Nik as she refers to him.
"Stefan, you should come. It'd be fun." Stefan smiles at the invitation. Rebekah knows Stefan misses Klaus and vice versa. The only reason they stopped hanging out was because of the 'tragic end of Stebekah ' according to ITB. Klaus sided with his sister. Klaus then found new friends. Not hard, for the lack of a better term, he's Klaus Mikealson. Girls wanted to sleep with him, as she suspected her best friend had, wants, or wants to continue. However with Caroline, she sure it's more than that. Caroline wouldn't 'risk' their friendship on the fact that she's horny, more on that later.
"We'll be there," Stefan says with his signature smile. The smile Rebekah become so accustomed to. She still loves it.
"Starts at eight." She didn't notice, even when everybody else did, the glare directed at Rebekah sourced from Elena.
