Chapter.3
I went to the house and walked to the kitchen. Rebekah was there, when she saw the blood on my dress, her eyes widened and she ran to me.
- What happened, Alexa? Are you okay? Why are you bleeding?
- It's okay. I'm fine, just a little cut.
- Let me see it. –she approached me and looked at the cut. –We must clean that up. Come with me. –she grabbed some things and let me to our bedroom. –Take the dress off. –I slowly started to take the piece of clothing off with Rebekah's help. –Lie on the bed. –I did what she said and she started to clean the wound. I flinched in pain. –Thank god it's not too deep. –I sighed. At that moment the door opened and I quickly covered my breasts with my hands. –Kol, get out of here! –shouted Rebekah.
- I came to talk to Alexandra. –he said not moving.
- Get out! She's half naked! –Rebekah tried to cover me.
- I won't see anything that I haven't seen before. –Rebekah stood up and walked to his brother pushing him out of the bedroom. I sighed and stood up, I searched for a new dress to wear and put it on.
- Hey, hey! I'm not finished! –Rebekah entered the room and stopped me from dressing. –I have to put a bandage. –I let the dress fall on the floor and Rebekah came with the bandage and put it around my body. –Okay, that's it. –she help me get dressed and left the room.
A few days had passed; I still hadn't talked to Kol. I wasn't in the mood, I was still mad at him. Esther wondered why we didn't talk to each other; she couldn't understand it and I didn't want to explain it to her. But she thought it would be a children thing and that we would be talking soon.
- I want you and Alexa to go to the woods and search some berries. –I heard Esther say to Kol.
- Henrik can go with him. I have things to do. –I said. I didn't want to go with him.
- You're both going, end of the discussion. –Esther looked at both of us. I snorted. –And stop with this stupid thing of being mad at each other. You're best friends, family. –I rolled my eyes. –And now go.
Kol and I both walked through the woods, I was carrying the basket. All the way there, none of us had said a word. But he had intentions of saying something, I saw him thinking and when he was about open his mouth, he just shook his head and continued walking.
- Alexandra. –he called me. I kept on walking. –Alexandra. –he called again. –I'm trying to talk to you. –I started collecting some berries. –Don't act like you're ignoring me. I know you're listening. Look at me! –I still didn't turn around. –Alexandra! I can't keep on going like this! –I felt him approaching me. –he turned me around and all the berries I had in my hands fell on the floor.
- Look, what you've done! –I shouted at him.
- Now, that I've got your attention... –he ignored what I said. –I'm sorry, Alexandra. –he put his hands on my shoulders so I couldn't escape. I didn't look at him. –I didn't mean to lead you on. It was just a kiss. Spur of the moment. I didn't think it would be that bad. We were just having fun. –he explained. I closed my eyes. –Look at me. –I slowly rose my head up and opened my eyes to look at him.
- Did you like the kiss? –was the only thing that came out of my mind.
- Of course! –he smiled and cupped my face in his hands. –It was very special because it was with my best friend. Both of them were special, our first kiss and this last one. –I turned red. –Did you like it? –he asked me. I nodded. –Just a kiss, Alexa. Nothing bad with it. And we could always repeat if you want... –he said cheekily. I pushed him away rolling my eyes.
- I'm not one of those girls you flirt with. –I said.
- I was joking, love. You're better than all those girls. You're my special one. My best friend. –he smiled and I did the same. –I also want to apologise for the incident with the swords. –he stroked lightly where the wound was. –I didn't mean to harm you. I would never do that. Do you forgive me? –he pleaded with puppy eyes.
- I forgive you. –I looked at him. He grinned. I was so stupid, but I couldn't resist it. couldn't be mad at him. He was my best friend and I loved him.
- Yes! –he picked me up and spun me around.
- Kol the wound! It hurts! –I screamed.
- Sorry. –he put me down and kissed my cheek.
A month had passed; Kol and I were in good terms again and that made me happy. He was now seeing a girl from the village, her name was Evelyn. To be honest, I was still confused about what I felt for him. Was it just a friendship or something else? He could be with other girls, I shouldn't be jealous about it. He was just a friend, a friend that had shared a kiss with me, anything else. But, when he was with Evelyn, I felt so jealous. She was gorgeous; she had long blond hair and beautiful big green eyes. Now Kol, didn't spend that much time with me, he was always with her. So, I was part of the time alone.
I watched as Kol ran behind Evelyn and tried to catch her. She was running and laughing, and so was he. He finally caught her and both fell on the floor.
I closed my eyes and looked away.
- Are you okay, Alexa? –Elijah sat next to me.
- I'm fine. –I smiled at him.
- You seem a little bit sad. –he looked at me.
- Oh, no! It's nothing.
- What's wrong? Come on, I can see you're not happy. –he said.
- Oh, just stupid things. Nothing serious. You don't have to worry about it. Just having some of those bad days, but it will be okay. –I reassured him. –How is it going with Tatia? –I changed the tog with Tatia?d days, but it will be okay. pic.
- Everything's okay. –he smiled. – I love her. And yes, so does Niklaus, and I know someday she will have to chose, and I will respect her choice not matter what it is.
- It's amazing how you can think like that. I think I wouldn't be able to think like you. I would be devasted. –I explained.
- I guess I just love her too much, that I only wish her to be happy if it is with my brother and not with me.
- That's admirable, Elijah. –I smiled. –And what about you? Have you find love yet? –he asked.
- I don't know… -I paused. –How do you know if you're in love with someone?
- When you're in love with someone… -he began explaining. –You always feel happy when you're around that person, and with every touch your body shivers, you wish time would stop, so you could be together forever. You can't stop thinking about that person; just thinking about them makes you happy.
- Do you feel jealous when Tatia is with Nik? –I asked curiously.
- Yes. I can't deny it. But being jealous isn't bad, is a way to say that you're scared you may lose that person.
- Thank you for telling me all this, Elijah. –I thanked him. –It's always nice talking to you.
- No problem. –And remember that falling in love isn't bad, Alexandra. It can be a painful thing, but it's also beautiful. –I hugged him and walked back to the house.
I started thinking about everything he had told me. And I realized that maybe I was falling for Kol and I was scared about it, because I was only his best friend, and he was now with Evelyn. I remembered Elijah's last words. "It can be a painful thing, but it's also beautiful." This was going to be very painful and not beautiful as he said. I just wished it wasn't true, that I didn't have fallen in love with him. I just wished that I was only confused and that things were going to be back to normal. This couldn't be happening.
I was in the lake washing the clothes with Rebekah. Well, I was washing while she was looking and smiling at Joseph. I rolled my eyes.
- Bekah, are you going to help me? –but she ignored me.
- You want me to help you with that? –I turned around and saw David, a friend of Kol. I smiled at him. He was a very tall and gorgeous boy; he had dark blond hair and blue eyes.
- Oh, no, it's okay! Don't worry.
- I insist. Let me help you. –he approached me and started helping me wash the clothes.
- Thank you. –I smiled shyly.
- No problem. –he smiled.
When we finished washing the clothes, I let Rebekah now that we were leaving but she wanted to stay a little bit with Joseph. So, I just grabbed all the things. David insisted to walk with me. He was such a gentleman.
- Thank for helping me and walking me home, David. It was lovely spending some time with you. –I smiled.
- You're welcome, Alexandra. If you want we could meet some time and go for a walk. –he suggested.
- I'd love that. –I bit my lip.
- I'll see you around. –he smiled. I nodded. – Goodbye, Alexandra.
- Goodbye, David.
The next day I got ready, I was meant to meet David in the lake. When I arrived, he was already there waiting for me.
- Alexandra! You look beautiful. –he smiled. I blushed.
- Thank you, David. –I smiled and sat down.
We talked for a while, I enjoyed being with him. He was such a nice boy.
- I wanted to ask you something… -he looked at me.
- Go on! – I smiled at him.
- Do you have a suitor? –he asked. I was surprised by his question.
- No. –I answered.
- And do you like someone? –he looked serious.
- Maybe… -I asked after thinking for a while. The first person that crossed my mind when I answered was Kol. I sighed.
- You know what? I always thought you and Kol would end together. Get married, have children and that stuff… -my eyes widened. – Well, I'm not the only one that thought that… A lot of people were thinking the same. You look like a couple when you're together.
- He's my best friend. Plus, he's with Evelyn. –I answered not looking at him. It pained me to say that Kol was with Evelyn, but it was the truth.
- Do you like him? –he asked me. I turned around and looked at him.
- No. –I was lying. I was still denying the feelings I had for my best friend. –As I said he's my best friend.
- It's a little bit late; I think I should walk you back home. –he stood up and helped me.
All of us were getting ready; there was a celebration in the village. I put on my best dress. I was trying to tie my dress, but I didn't reach it.
- Alexa, we're leaving. –Kol came into my room.
- Kol can you please help me tie the dress? –I asked him. He walked to where I was and starting tying it. I shivered when I felt his hands on my back. His hands were so soft. I closed my eyes. Suddenly I didn't feel his touch anymore, but I felt how he turned me around.
- Alexandra, are you okay? –he asked me. I opened my eyes. My gaze connecting with his. My heart skipped a beat. He was looking gorgeous today. My gaze went to his lips. –Alexa? –he shook me. I woke up from my trance.
- Yes, I'm fine. Thank you. –I walked out of the room, leaving him there. He made me feel nervous. I couldn't be around him without feeling like that.
We all arrived to the meeting place in the village. Some people were already dancing, others were drinking and eating. It looked like they were all having fun. Esther and Mikael left with Ayanna. Rebekah was already having fun with Joseph, and I didn't know where the rest of the family were, I had already lost them.
- May I have this dance? –I saw Henrik approaching me.
- Of course! –I smiled and bowed; he gave me his hand and grabbed it. He walked us to where the people were dancing and we started imitating their movements.
I think this was the fourth song that we were dancing, but we weren't tired, we were having lots of fun. It was turn to change partners, Henrik spun me around, I didn't know he had that much strength. I crashed against a tone chest. I looked up and saw Kol.
- Having fun? –he smiled. I nodded nervously.
- And you? –I asked him.
- Of course! I always enjoy celebrations. –he winked.
- Where is Evelyn? –I asked without looking at him.
- She's with her family. I'll meet her later. –I looked at the floor. – Alexandra, what's wrong? You've been avoiding me lately.
- Nothing's wrong. –I answered avoiding his gaze.
- Look at me. –I did as he said. –I know when you're lying, Alexa. I know you since you were five. Don't try to fool me. –thank God that it was time to change partner, Kol didn't want to let me go, but he finally did and I landed in David's arms.
- Hello, Alexandra! –he smiled.
- Hi, David. –I returned the smile.
- Is everything good? –he asked.
- Yes. –I nodded.
- You look beautiful. –he said.
- Thank you! –I blushed.
- Do you want to go for a walk later?
- I'd love to. –I accepted.
*Kol's POV*
I saw how Alexandra was about to leave into the woods with David. What was he doing with her? This could be nothing good. I stood up from the bench, but Evelyn stopped me.
- Kol, where are you going? –she asked me.
- Sorry, love. I need to do something. But, I'll be right back, okay? –I looked at her and then I kissed her cheek. She nodded and smiled at me.
I started walking to where Alexandra and David where.
They both looked at me. I didn't know why but jealousy rushed through me.
I walked until I was there and faked a smile.
- David, can I talk to you? –I asked.
- Of course. –I'll be right back. –he smiled to Alexandra.
- Sorry, love. It will only be a minute. –I told her, she nodded.
I walked with David away from Alexandra and I suddenly stopped turning around.
- What the hell are you doing with her? –I tried to stay calm.
- Why do you ask? –he asked with a mischievously smile on his face.
- Your intentions are never good, David. I know you perfectly.
- She's a pretty little thing and I want to have fun, what's wrong in it? –he said. –Don't act all innocent, Kol. You would do the same.
- NO. Never, not to Alexandra. I care too much about her. –I shouted.
- Hey, easy!
- I don't want you near her. –I pushed him against a tree.
- What if I don't want to listen to you? –he challenged me.
- Then we will have a problem. –I said. – If you hurt her, you're dead.
- Jealous much? –he asked. I took a deep breath.
- She's my best friend and I care about her, I don't want her to get hurt by a scum like you. –I paused. –If I was you, I would leave her alone. –I pushed him against the tree after that and left. I was furious. I walked past the bench where Evelyn sat, but I didn't stop. I heard her calling me.
- Kol! Kol! –she ran and grabbed me by my arm. – Are you okay? What's wrong?
- Nothing, love. Nothing's wrong. –I stroked her cheek and smiled slightly.
*Alexa's POV*
- What did he want to talk about? –I asked when I saw David coming back.
- Nothing. Important. He just wanted to ask me something. –he smiled. I wasn't sure about his answer, but I didn't say anything. –Come on, let's go. –he grabbed my hand and led me through the woods.
- Where are you taking me? –he looked like he was in a rush.
- I don't want anybody to see us. –he said.
- What? Why? – was confused. We suddenly stopped in the middle of the woods, I looked around and he pulled me behind a tree. – What are we doing here? I thought we were going for a walk. –I looked at him.
- I thought we could do something more entertaining. –he was smirking.
- Like what? –he started walking to me, and I started backing away until my back was against the tree. His he put his hands on each side of my head. I started breathing heavily, I saw him leaning with a smirk on his face. He was now very close to me. And suddenly his lips crashed against mine. He started kissing me roughly and his hands were all over my body. He introduced his tongue in my mouth, but I didn't react, I was shocked.
- Come on, Alexa. We can have some fun. –he looked at me and stroked my face, he kissed my neck.
- I want to go home. –I tried to contain my tears.
- Alexandra we're just having some fun. –he kept on kissing my neck.
- I don't want this. I want to go home. –I tried to push him away, but nothing happened. – STOP! –I shouted and kicked him in the crotch.
- WHORE! –he hit me in the face and I fell on the floor crying. – You don't want it because I'm not Kol, isn't it? If it was him kissing you, you wouldn't complain, wouldn't you? Let me tell you something, Kol is never going to like you back; he's busy screwing every girl he sees. He only sees you as a friend, nothing else. He prefers beautiful girls, not a girl like you. You're ugly and you're not even worth it! I was doing you a favour! No one's ever going to like you! –by this time tears were falling uncontrollably from my eyes. He was making me feel like I was nothing. – Look at you crying. Poor little thing. –he laughed at me. –Go to hell. –that was the last thing he said before leaving me there. I lay on the floor crying like a little child, he had really made me feel bad, but maybe he was right. Kol would never like me back, why would he if there were so many beautiful girls. I was just the ugly best friend. The one who no one liked…
*Kol's POV*
It was very late. All of the family was slowly leaving and going home. I still sat on the bench, Evelyn had left. And I started to feel a little worried about Alexandra; I hadn't seen her since she had left with David.
- My son, where's Alexandra? –asked mother.
- I don't know, mother. I haven't seen her in a while.
- I'm worried about her. –said mother. I was as worried as her or even more. –Could you please go and search her? It's late and everybody's leaving. She should be here by now.
- I'll go and search her. –I stood up and walked into the woods where she had left before with David. I swore to God that if that scum had touched her, he would be dead. I kept on walking for a while. I didn't see or hear anything. And I was getting more and more worried. Where could she be? I walked for some minutes more and I heard a sob coming from behind a tree. No, no. Why did I hear sobs? What had happened? Was she okay? Was it Alexandra? I ran and when I arrived I found a girl lying on the floor and crying uncontrollably. – Alexandra? –I called. –Is that you? –she cried.
- Kol… -I heard her whisper.
- ALEXANDRA! –I approached her quickly and kneeled down putting my arms around her body and I pulled her closer to my chest. –Why are you crying? –I brushed her long hair from her face and I saw a bruise on her left cheek. – What happened? –I tried to stay calm, my blood was boiling, but I had to stay calm for her. She couldn't stop sobbing and she was shaking. –Shhh! It's okay. I'm here. Don't cry, please, Alexandra. –I hugged her tight. – Shhh! everything will be alright. I'm here with you. –I kissed her forehead. –Don't cry. –I tried to comfort her.
- He… he…hi… hit me, Kol.
So, I hope you liked it!
