Chapter 4: Leave me alone, I'm lonely

Hello again. Thanks for the reviews. Hope you enjoy the next chapter of 'Just like a pill'. Here we go. Chapter 4...

It wasn't her handwriting. But she knew that handwriting. It was the one's she didn't want to think about now. Those brown hair, those brown eyes, that body, that voice. That face which was enough to make her heart skip a beat. And now the handwriting from...

"Elena?"

...Elijah Mikaelson.

"Elena?" he asked once again. Elena wasn't sure if this was reality or not. She was afraid of looking in those eyes and maybe seeing something that would hurt her. So she stared out of the window for another minute. Then slowly took a deep breath and turned around in her chair.

Yes, it was reality. He was standing behind her – watching her. He was dressed like usual in a suit. A black suit which suited him very well. She still was afraid of looking in his eyes. So she stared at her shoes. She didn't trust her voice so it was silent in the room. Until he spoke again.

"Elena, please. Tell me what's wrong?" And suddenly he knelt in front of her. His eyes locked with hers and she could see his were filled with worry. She stayed silent. She couldn't find her voice. His worried eyes made her heart skip a beat and she had to clear her mind.

"Talk to me... please!" Elijah wasn't the one for pleading so it had to bother him. He looked up through his long eye lashes. Elena found herself staring at his lips and hoped he hadn't noticed. But she knew he had because of the devilish grin on his lips that suddenly was there. She grinned with him and it was the first smile since the Salvatore's left!

The next thing that happened was Elena turning back to her diary and closing it. "It's nothing..." but her voice cracked.

"You know you can talk to me. I'm here for you." I know she thought.

"I don't want to talk about it Elijah." she fought the tears that wanted to escape her eyes. He silently nodded and walked out of her room. After he closed the door the tears escaped her eyes.

Elijah could hear her sobs miles away.

As Elijah got home he saw Rebekah on the couch in the living room. She was deep in thought so he went into his room.

Rebekah definitively deep in thought. She thought about those 'Mission b.w.d'.

Rebekah just entered the living room. Kol, Klaus and Elijah sat on the couch. They talked about sport. Suddenly Kol spoke: "What about a bet?" Kol looked between his two brothers.

"What kind of bet?" Klaus asked and his eyes twinkled.

"Something Elijah would bet with us." Kol grinned.

"I'd never bet with the two of you..."

Rebekah suddenly knew what to say. "What about a dating bet?" All eyes were on her as she spoke. "You three have to date three girl from my school. What do you think?" The three boys shared some looks and then nodded slowly.

An hour later Rebekah had a hat filled with little pieces of paper with the names of all girls from the high school on them. Every boy took one and then opened his piece. Klaus was shocked after he read the name. "Caroline Forbes?" He murmured under his breath.

Rebekah simply nodded and gestured with one hand that Kol should open his piece. He opened the paper and his eyes grew wide.

"Bonnie Bennet..." he read. "The little Bennet witch?" He chuckled a bit and then looked at Elijah who opened his paper. "Rebekah, is this some kind of a sick joke?" The oldest Original locked eyes with his little sister.

"No. What's the matter, Elijah?" There was a short silence. "Elena Gilbert." Elijah took his paper and set in on fire with a candle which was standing on his left.

"So now we just need something to bet about." Kol grinned once again.

"I will do whatever the winner wants for one year and the losers have to do whatever I want them to do." Rebekah grinned like Kol just more devilish.

The brothers looked at Rebekah and then slowly everybody nodded once again. Now they had a bet.

Just what the brothers didn't knew was that Rebekah's paper pieces were a trick. On every paper were one of the three names. Bonnie Bennet. Caroline Forbes. Elena Gilbert. She just wanted them to be happy and now she had compelled the Salvatore's to leave town so Elijah could date Elena.
