Secrets and Nightclubs

Stefan's POV

"All hell broke loose."

"Care to explain or are you just going to keep me guessing?" I ask, with more attitude then necessary, as Damon twists his face into one of utter annoyance. His nose scrunches and his blue eyes look like a raging wildfire. I realize that I should cut down the sass so he doesn't try to punch me. Hayley stands and places a reassuring hand on my brother's arm before walking upstairs to where, I assume, the rest of the girls are.

"Bonnie said she's in love with me, but she can't be with me because she will grow old and die while I obviously won't." Klaus sits on one of the stools, before reaching over to hand Damon a bottle of bourbon. Damon nods at Klaus; it's his version of saying thank you.

"When has that ever stopped you?" Klaus begins. "From what I remember you were hopelessly in love with Elena, and the fact that she was human never stopped you, so why should it be the factor that keeps you away from the witch?" He says this with a curious gleam in his eye.

"Even though I can't stand Klaus right now, he does have a point." I look over to the original vampire to see if my comment affected him, but he just gives a small chuckle. There is no need to fight with him, not now, not when my brother needs me. "You love her Damon. Live in the moment, go for it." He looks appalled by what I just stated.

"I can't live in the moment if Bonnie isn't happy. I won't risk her long term happiness for my short term joy!" Klaus and I share a look of surprise. That is probably the kindest thing I have ever heard Damon say. Klaus shifts in his seat before speaking.

"And I thought your love for the Gilbert girl was annoying." Klaus laughs to himself. "You are so in love with the witch that it is almost sad." Damon's face turns so red that it looks like pure, hot, steam will start coming out of his ears at any moment.

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't break your neck." He is entirely serious. He is actually waiting for Klaus to give him a reason.

"Because I was only kidding. I actually think that you and the witch would be a good pair." Damon seems to settle down at Klaus's reason.

"But how do I…" Damon begins as Elijah walks down the stairs.

"Well it is official… Camille is upset with me." Elijah looks down at his shoes.

"Really?" Damon asks with sarcasm clinging to every syllable. "I couldn't tell by the way she ran faster than the Flash up the stairs." Elijah glares at Damon.

"Your sarcasm is not appreciated." Damon chuckles slightly at Elijah's reply.

"You just got dumped by Camille before the two of you even started dating. I'm pretty sure that my sarcasm is the least of your problems, you dumb prick." Damon looks more irritated then angry, but he is definitely angry.

"Everybody needs to calm down. We already had one smack-down today and we certainly don't need another one." We all turn to see Hayley at the top of the stairs.

"Stefan you want to play with Hope and me? She wants to play with her dolls. Is that ok?" She asks with a slight smile. I smile back up at her.

"Yeah, I'll be right up." I stand up, thankful for the escape.

Caroline's POV

"Camille!" I walk over to see Rebekah pounding on the wooden door. The sound of her tiny fists, hitting the door, reverberates through the house. "If you don't come out of there right now, I'm going to break this damn door down!" Rebekah's yelling draws the other girls over. Camille's voice then breaks through the thick door.

"Be my guest!" At this moment Hayley comes down the hall with Stefan following close behind. I look over at him to see that Hope is comfortably resting on his hip and holding a brunette doll in her left hand.

"What's going on?" Stefan looks at me and then to everybody else in the hallway.

"Camille is upset about Elijah." Davina answers from the hallway that Hayley and Stefan just emerged from. This seems to make Rebekah more upset.

"Oh boohoo! We are all having relationship problems, right now, so get over it!" The door swings open and Camille steps out with a few stray lines of mascara running down her red cheeks. Bonnie gasps and makes a face close to disgust.

"And I thought I looked bad." Camille shoots daggers at Bonnie before her face falls as she looks over the saddened witch. We all turn to do the same. Bonnie's eyes, which are normally full of light are red and glazed over. Her smile, which normally lights up a room consumed in darkness, looks forced and out of place.

"Are you okay, Bon?" Stefan asks raising his eyes in worry.

"I will be once I get some alcohol in my system. Wada ya say? You guys have any good clubs nearby?" I give Bonnie a concerned look, but she ignores me.

"I know a great one a few minutes away. How about we all get cleaned up and then we can hang out together?" Davina states turning towards one of the bathrooms.

"You're too young to drink." Marcel states with a condescending tone.

"I'm also too young to be a relationship counselor, yet I'm constantly fixing your relationship with Rebekah." Davina glares at the two of them before going into one of the bathrooms and closing the door. Hayley and I exchange a look before she grabs Camille and pulls her into a bedroom. Rebekah follows the two girls while Marcel travels deeper into the long hallway.

"Well I'm gonna go get ready. You coming?" Bonnie asks me. I nod and we both turn to go into the room with the other girls until Stefan stops us.

"Wait what do I do with her?" Stefan asks referring to the toddler who is still playing with her doll. She suddenly looks up at him and thrusts her doll into his face. She gives Stefan a big grin. Bonnie and I smile at him.

"I think she wants to play with her doll." With this last statement Bonnie and I slip into the bedroom and close the door.

Damon's POV

After an hour of re applying makeup, going through multiple outfits, and going through every can of hairspray in the house the girls are finally ready to go. When they get to the bottom of the stairs they look at us and smile. I try hard to keep my eyes on the other girls but I find my head turning to Bonnie. Her hair is straight which makes it look longer then it normally does. She is wearing a simple black dress that stops just above the knee and black heels. She looks beautiful, as always. Her eyes meet mine which causes her smile to fade. I give her a small smile but she turns away from me. I can't help but feel hurt by her reaction.

Stefan's POV

Caroline comes over to me and is about to say something until Klaus speaks up.

"Can somebody explain to me why my daughter won't stop asking for Stefan to play with her instead of me?" I can't help but smile at this. Hope is a very sweet girl who loves her dolls. We played all day until I had to leave and get ready. I can't stop myself from giving Klaus a snarky remark.

"Add her to list of girls who like me more then you." I smile wide at him.

"If the other girls happen to be Caroline I think you might have the wrong information." His smile is devious and I hate it.

"Oh really?" I ask him crossing my arms over my chest. I can hear Caroline telling us to stop so we can go have fun, but I don't pay any attention to her as he answers.

"You're nothing more than a rebound." Hayley grabs his arm and tells him to go check on Hope with her. I can tell that she is worried that our argument will turn into something more destructive.

"Better than a one night stand." As soon as the words leave my mouth I regret it. I hear Bonnie gasp and I turn just in time to see the others share a look of shock. I don't want to turn to Caroline. I'm afraid of what I'll see. I pick my head up to look at her. I don't know whether she is angry, sad, or hurt. I start to apologize until a small whisper from Hayley makes everybody go dead silent.

"You lied to me." She is looking directly into Klaus's eyes. The intensity of the stare makes everyone else uncomfortable.

"We'll meet you guys there." Davina states before ushering everybody out of the large door, leaving Klaus, Hayley, Caroline, and I in the enormous living room.

"You told me that you were in love with her." Hayley starts taking cautious steps towards Klaus. "I got over it. I forgot about it. I saw past my insecurities. When I asked you if you ever…got physical with one another…" Klaus tries to interrupt the woman standing before him.

"I didn't mean to…" He begins but Hayley continues as if he didn't say a word.

"You said no. Why would you lie to me? Why didn't you just tell me?" She is now standing directly in front of him.

"I was afraid that I would lose you." He grabs her face and looks deep into her eyes.

"Why? Because I'm just so insecure that there's no way that I would be able to see past this?" She asks as she smacks his hands away from her face.

"Yes! Because you would never be able to see yourself as anything other than second best! How could you possibly look past it when you always thought yourself second place compared to Caroline and Camille?!"

"Because I love you Klaus! I would be able to look past it because I love you!" She is screaming so loud that she is now out of breath. She lets out a sad chuckle and shakes her head. "I'm going to go have fun with my friends. You two need to stay here, but don't worry you can fight over Hope. Come on Caroline." She walks out of the door. Caroline starts to follow her, but I grab her arm.

"Care…" She snatches her arm out of my grip.

"I can't even look at you right now, Stefan." And with that she stomps out of the room and slams the door behind her. Klaus and I stare at the door hoping that one of them would come back in and forgive us, but they don't.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

Damon's POV

When we get to the club, everybody is tense. Camille asks a question that nobody has the answer to.

"Do you think they will be okay?"

"I hope so." Bonnie begins. "I still haven't gotten through my heartbreak. How am I supposed to help my friends through theirs?" She says this as if having her heart broken is a day–to-day thing. She is just so…emotionless. If I didn't already know that she isn't a vampire I would of guessed that she flipped her switch. She looks directly at me and then quickly turns away and walks into the booming club. We follow her inside. The place is filled with girls that are clad in the smallest outfits that I've ever seen. Guys are either shirtless or passed out on one of the many couches in the place. There are couples making out, friends taking shots, and loud obnoxious music blasting through every speaker. I look ahead of me and find Bonnie dancing to the beat of the music, and suddenly the music isn't as obnoxious as it once was. I walk over to her and start dancing. She frowns at me. I immediately stop dancing. "What are you doing?" She angrily asks me.

"What are you doing? Why are you avoiding me?" She rolls her eyes as if I just asked a stupid question.

"Why do you care?" She yells over the music.

"You know why." I shouldn't have to explain to her that I love her because I know that she already knows every thought that is going through my mind.

"I really wish that I didn't." She walks deeper into the crowd of sweaty people. I stand there in shock as I watch her start dancing with some random guy.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

Caroline's POV

Hayley and I walk side by side in silence and I enjoy it. It gives me time to sort out my many feelings about what just occurred. "I can't believe that he lied to me." Well that lasted long. "I can't believe that he would think that I would just…not move past it."

"Can you? Can you honestly forgive him for lying about it? I don't think that I can forgive Stefan for blurting that out as if it was nothing." She chuckles at this.

"You'll forgive him." She says confidently.

"What makes you so sure?"

"Because you love him too much to lose him over something like this." She's right. I love Stefan we've survived way too much to lose each other to a stupid mistake like this.

"But he was an ass today. And I'm really mad at him." I cross my arms and pout like a five year old.

"I know. I'm mad at Klaus too, but even when we're mad at them we love them. My insecurities have made our relationship more difficult than it needs to be. I don't want to be insecure anymore." She looks into the dark night ahead of us.

"I can help you with that." She turns and smiles at me. "There are three steps. Step one: be secure in your relationship. Do you love Klaus?" She smiles like a school girl and nods vigorously. "Does he love you?" She doesn't hesitate before responding with a joyful yes. "Good."

"What's step two?" She asks curiously. I sigh before answering.

"That's the hardest step of all. It took me a while to successfully get through this step and even now I find myself failing. Step two is: Being happy with who you are. You have to love yourself enough to know that in somebody's eyes you will always be the most beautiful person. You have to look in the mirror and see somebody that is strong and amazing. You have to know that to Klaus you will never be second place. You have to see yourself as the most kickass person out there because you are." She smiles at me.

"Step three?" I smile at her.

"Go for it." I say as I thrust my head in the direction that we came. She looks back down the long sidewalk we just walked. The club is only a few feet ahead of us now. She reaches her hand out to me. I understand what she is saying and grab her hand. We start the semi long walk back to the house.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

Stefan's POV

I screwed up. This is the only thing that has been going through my head for the last ten minutes. Klaus walked into the room with an upset toddler. Hope was crying with her face contorted into one of annoyance. "Make her stop. She won't stop." Klaus sets the irritated toddler in my lap, before sitting on the couch opposite to me. As soon as Hope looks up at me she stops crying. She starts to giggle and clap.

"Stefan play with me?" she smiles up at me with her little baby teeth. I can't resist the grin that breaks out on my face.

"Yeah go get your dolls and the three of us can play together." She jumps down from my lap and runs into the hallway to my left. Klaus looks at me with so much joy. "I'm sorry." He looks utterly surprised by my apology.

"What for? I'm the one who lied to my wife. You just told her the truth." I can't believe that he is pardoning my behavior.

"I shouldn't have used that against you. You were in love with Caroline and we both know that she had feelings for you as well." I wait for his response.

"The feelings that Caroline and I once held for each other are gone. I still care about her, I always will, but I don't love her anymore. I also know that her heart belongs to you." He sincerely states.

"Yet you still found every possible chance to flirt with her right in front of me." He chuckles at my response.

"We used to be best friends! Teasing you about your girl is in my job description!" I can't help but laugh when he mentions that we used to be best friends.

"We used to be great friends. I'd be lying if I said I don't miss it. We used to have so much fun." Klaus sits up a little straighter in his seat.

"We should rekindle the great Klaus and Stefan friendship." I nod at his offer. He smiles. Just as he is about to speak the front door flies open and Hayley and Caroline waltz in.

"I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have…" Klaus begins but he doesn't get very far as Hayley runs to him and kisses him passionately. I turn to Caroline hoping for the same reaction, but all I get is a dismissive shoulder shrug.

"I'm pissed at you for lying to me, but I'm not willing to lose you over this stupid fight." Hayley stares into his eyes.

"I'm sorry that I lied to you. I love you Little Wolf." Hayley giggles at the nickname before responding.

"I love you too." Klaus goes in for a kiss, but Hayley dodges. "Stefan?" She looks at me with her eyebrows raised.

"I'm sorry Hayley." She smiles wide.

"I forgive you and so would a certain blonde if you apologize." She says nodding towards Caroline. I turn to look at my girlfriend. I walk closer to her.

"Caroline, I'm so sorry. I was jealous so I said some things that I shouldn't have. Can you forgive me?" I look into her pale blue eyes and I see the sparkle return in them.

"Of course I can." She jumps into my arms and I hold her. We stand there hugging each other as Klaus and Hayley share another kiss.

"Yay! Now mom and Caro… Carol…Caroline can play too!" Hope squeals, stumbling over Caroline's name. Hope is carrying a large chest which, I assume, is filled with toys. If Hope was a normal kid, the chest would have crushed her, but, thanks to the vampire and werewolf blood running through her veins, she is strong enough to carry the chest and its contents. She gently sets the chest down in the middle of the room. Caroline walks over to the chest and opens it. There are dolls of all sizes, colors, and brands in the chest. Bratz, Barbie dolls, My Little Pony, and Polly Pocket dolls are all stacked on top of one another. Hope smiles up at Caroline before grabbing a Japanese American Barbie doll and a purple pony. We all grab two dolls and start playing and laughing.

Damon's POV

Two hours. Bonnie has been dancing with that guy for two hours. I've gone through so many shots of vodka that the bartender actually cut me off. I had to compel him to keep bringing me alcohol so I could busy myself. "I really wish that I didn't". What the hell does that mean? I still can't figure out what she meant by this.

"Don't worry about Bonnie. She loves you more than life itself." I look over to find Camille sitting next to me on the bar stool.

"This is too much drama. I feel like we're in a damn soap opera." I take another shot of vodka and signal the bartender to bring me two more.

"Tell me about it. Hey what do you think happened between them? We've been here for at least three hours." I groan at her concern but I give in and give my opinion.

"They'll be fine." I downing another shot.

"Are you sure?" I give her a questioning glare. "I've known Klaus and Hayley for a long time. They are the two most stubborn people on this damn planet." I would have told her she was being stupid, but she looked so concerned for her friends that I just couldn't find a way to be cruel to her. Not to mention that she is currently slipping into a drunk haze and I don't feel like dealing with an upset drunk vampire.

"Of course they are that's why they work together. The only time you can challenge a stubborn person is if you are just as stubborn as they are. They won't give up on each other." I say surprising myself.

"Hayley and Klaus?" She asks me. I have to think for a while before I finally come up with a way to explain this to a tipsy Camille.

"They are soulmates. They are meant to be together and everybody knows it. They went through a whole lot of crap and a whole lot of good things all so they could be together." I say as she nods in agreement. "What about Rebekah and Marcel?" She asks gazing over to the couple in question.

"What about them?" I ask curiously.

"Don't they seem…weirdly domestic?"

"They are unsuspectingly domestic parents who pretend to hate each other because it's easier then admitting that they love each other." I casually sum up as Rebekah and Marcel slip into the seats next to Cami.

"Who is?" Marcel asks. Cami points to him and the blonde original vampire.

"Okay maybe the love hate thing is true, but what about the whole domestic thing? We are definitely not domestic." Rebekah states forcefully as Marcel nods in agreement.

"Oh come on! You two treat Davina like your daughter." Elijah says walking over to us.

"Were you lurking in the shadows and listening to our conversation like a creeper?" Cami asks with sass radiating off of her body.

"Maybe I was. What's it to you Camille?" Elijah asks smiling at the blonde girl sitting next to me.

"Oh God!" Rebekah shouts pointing at Camille and Elijah.

"What?" Elijah asks.

"You guys love to hate one another and hate that you love each other." Rebekah states looking towards her brother who has his eyebrows raised in question.

"Did you get that from an Adele song?" Davina asks as she sits down at the bar and orders a drink.

"That isn't even close! I don't hate Elijah!" Both of the blonde girls nod in agreement. "Elijah is Prince Charming and I'm the princess who doesn't need saving." She looks him dead in the eye while swaying in her seat. The bartender returns with a glass of clear alcohol. Rebekah takes the drink just as Davina reaches for it.

"You are too young to drink." She swallows the whole glass in one gulp.

"Camille I apologize that I offended you. I'm glad you're not a damsel in distress they get pretty boring after a while. There is absolutely nothing boring about you." He smiles at her which causes Camille to blush.

God we are so drunk right now. Camille is giggling and talking to Rebekah about absolutely nothing in particular. Davina is dancing on top of the bar like a mad woman, although I can't blame that on the alcohol. Marcel is taking pictures of her, probably for blackmailing purposes. Elijah and I just watch everybody do their own thing. Bonnie comes over and stands in front of everybody. Seeing her makes my mouth go dry. She looks at me and gives me a small smile.

"Can I talk to you outside?" I nod quickly, down one last shot glass of vodka, pay the bill, and follow her out of the crowded bar.

No POV

"They are just like Romeo and Juliet." Camille states as she watches Damon and Bonnie leave the crowded bar.

"Because they are star crossed lovers?" Rebekah asks with uncertainty.

"No. Because I'm 95 percent sure that this is going to be a tragedy." They look at her in shock until they remember that she is drunk off her ass. No wonder her comments have been overly stupid lately. They, unlike their overly buzzed friend, have faith in Bonnie and Damon. They have faith in love.

Hey guys so sorry for taking so long! I hope you guys liked this chapter. I really wanted to resolve Hayley's insecurity early on. I also thought that Hope having an attachment to Stefan would be cute AF but I kind of messed it up because I have no idea how to write a 3 going on 4 year old. Oh well! I'm super excited for the crossover event except for the fact that I haven't even finished season 1 of TO so I have a feeling I'm going to be utterly lost. Wish me luck! Thanks for reading! I'm thinking about discontinuing this review! I love hearing from you guys!
