"Wake up sleepy head!" I had fallen asleep again after Nick had left. "You have 10 minutes to get dressed. We're going shopping!" I open my eyes just as Rebekah speeds off.
Shopping? I wasn't really into that kind of thing but at least id be able to go out. I put on my red tank top and black skinny jeans and leather jacket before doing my teeth and heading downstairs to have breakfast.
I sat in the front passenger seat as Rebekah drove her red Ferrari sports car to where ever we were going to go shopping. French Quarter. After a couple of hours of shopping Rebekah and I are holding at least 4 bags filled with clothing on each hand. They were loaded with cash. I didn't know why they didn't just compel the people to give them stuff but I didn't bother asking.
"Rebekah I know you don't eat but would it be that hard for us to stop at a bar to eat my delayed lunch." 30 minutes later we were in Sophie's bar.
"Hayley what are you doing here? Is the baby all right?" she really had grown attached to my baby. Even though she had threatened to kill it a couple of months ago.
"The baby is fine Sophs. I stopped by for some lunch. Can I get some of your special gumbo?"
"Sure! Coming right up! Ill leave you in the company of my friend Cami." I nodded and turned to see a blond bartender.
"Hey!"
"Hi Camille?" I said looking at her name tag.
"oh please don't it sounds like a name a grandma would have. And its not French before you say anything. Just call me Cami." I chuckle. She's friendly and within 5 minutes my gumbos ready and me and Cami are somewhat friends. Apparently she studying phycology at college.
Sophie, Rebekah, Cami I guess I could consider all three of them as friends. I've been travelling for so long never stay at one place for too long that ive never really had any proper friends…other than Kol. But he's dead now… and there was Tyler but I betrayed him.
I cant seem to find Rebekah. She submerged into the crowd as soon as we got into the bar. Then I spot her talking to a guy at the end of the bar. Cami sees where Im looking to and says, "that's Marcel and his gang. The girl you walked in with, who im assuming is your friend is his girlfriend." I give her puzzled look.
"you didn't know did you?" I shake my head. Marcel? If Klaus found about this, Rebekah was sure to be daggered… I continued to eat my gumbo and speak with Cami. Sophie joined us in a couple of minutes. After about an hour, Rebekah came over.
"sorry, to interfere in your conversation, but Hayley we should really get going." I gave her a nod and waved sophie and cami goodbye.
On the way back home I tried not to worry myself but couldn't.
"so bekah nice boyfriend you've got there." A wave of shock passes through her but she stays calm.
"oh what? Him? He's not my boyfriend."
"bekah I know he's your boyfriend and I also know he's Marcel. Klaus doesn't know does he?" I ask, already knowing what the answer stops trying to pretend and faces me.
"Hayley you've got to promise not to tell nick. Please. If he knew it would just be back in my coffin with a dagger inside my heart."
"Then why are you doing it? Knowing you that there are consequences." I ask her, truly not understanding.
"because I love him." She says simply. Im dumbfounded- I hadn't expected this. Id never been in love so I didn't know if it were a worthy enough answer. But I guess it was.
" I won't tell klaus but you have to promise youll be carefull around marcel when your brothers nearby. I don't want to see you in a coffin either." She nods and gives me a smile.
"so are we officially besties now?" I give her a chuckle and nod.
What had I got myself into? If nick ever found out about Marcel and Rebekah and knew that I had known about him but hadn't told him he was sure to get angry at me. But at that moment it seemed like the right thing to do.
A/N-Ok so that was chapter 4. Hope you liked it. The next chapter is when you find out what the gender of the baby is… Review!
