Hey my lil' dudes! I'm back…again!
Did you hear the news…I almost hyperventilated with excitement…prepare to wet yourselves in awe (Read that line in a fic once, A Heaven from Hell's Despair (Bella/Captain America)…loved it ever since lol) the one, the only KOL MIKAELSON will be making a ghostly, or not so ghostly? Appearance in TVD…I am overjoyed. I don't know if he's on the other side still or what! But there's a promo pic of him and Matt! Eek, I am ridiculously excited for it :D
I'm really getting into the story now. I've planned around 2 or 3 more chapters, but you know what it's like when you're writing and more and more idea's pop into your head :D
Poor Bella, I really enjoyed the last chapter, I thought it was rather emotional lol.
I need ideas on who to pair Elijah with…
Single?
Bonnie?
Carol Lockwood? :/
Liz Forbes? (quite interesting)
Oooh…maybe Damon?
Leave it for a spin off?
Let me know what you guys think :D
Onwards we go!
Kol was frantic, he didn't know what to do! Bella was panicking, and Nik wouldn't be here for another 20 minutes. He paced the floor behind his Bella…wait! HIS Bella?...now is not the time for that, when a hand shot out and grabbed his. He looked down at Bella who was clutching his wrist.
"Can you lie with me, please?" she whispered, almost silently, into the empty room.
"Of course sweetheart" he said gently, sliding onto the overstuffed couch, lying next to her.
"Tell me darling, why are you so panicked? You always planned on leaving so he wouldn't get caught up in all this?" he said gently, as he stroked her hair.
"It-it's just…if he could give me up so easily, and she could as well, what's stopping all of you guys leaving me forever? I couldn't handle knowing you would never come back, I need to know you'll always come back to me Kol!" she said frantically, almost hyperventilating.
Kol flipped over, so he was hovering above Bella, his weight rested on his elbows placed either side of her face. He encompassed her in his body, trying his damndest to protect her from her own thoughts.
"Sweetheart…Bella! Look at me! You know when I'm lying to you…you always do. I promise I will never leave you. Nik and the rest of the family won't either, but you have to believe me Bella! I can't leave you, it would be physically painful for me to leave you! I don't understand it myself, darling. All I know is, when your away I get an ache in my chest until your back…safe in my arms." He kissed her forehead, lovingly. "I need you to believe me, please Bella. I can't stand seeing you like this!" he whispered feverently, peppering her face with small, loving kisses.
Bella clung to Kol's shirt as he kissed her face, when his lips touched the side of her mouth, she turn her face slightly, so his lips pressed gently against her own.
Kol was shocked, Bella had turned to kiss him.
Neither of them let the kiss grow deeper, they just basked in the electricity flowing from that one small kiss.
Kol reared back slightly, and just stared at Bella's face. Neither of them felt awkward, it had felt natural.
"Are you ok now sweetheart?" he asked quietly, stroking her cheek.
"Yes, thank you Kol. I don't know what I'd do without you!" she said reverently.
"Well, you'll never find out so get used to it" he said, sending her a cheeky smile that melted her heart.
The two of them laid there, staring into each other's eyes, enjoying the quiet. Bella thought back to every encounter she had ever had with Kol. Slowly piecing together her thoughts and feelings for the cheeky original.
Kol was doing the same, trying to figure out these all-consuming feelings he had for her.
Almost simultaneously, a thought popped into their heads.
"Well shit! I'm in love with him…my best friend!"
"Shit! I'm in love with her…my best friend!"
A/N WAS SOOOOO TEMPTED TO LEAVE IT THERE LOL. BUT I WANT TO START THE WHOLE TEAM KELLA BUSINESS…SO ENJOY 3
Klaus, Caroline and Jenna sped towards the mansion in Klaus's car. Klaus hoped Kol had managed to calm his little mate down, knowing that he had the best shot at it. He was becoming more accepting of the bond his little brother shared with his…Bella! Can't exactly call him his daughter when discussing her and Kol, now could he.
He had noticed the changes in Kol ever since he Belle came into their lives, he never killed anymore, never slept around and genuinely tried harder at being a better brother.
They arrived at the mansion, greeted with silence. Klaus was worried, 15 minutes ago Belle was almost hyperventilating, now he could hear nothing. The 3 of them ran into the mansion. Klaus led them to the library, where they were greeted by an odd sight. Bella was lying on the couch asleep, cuddling into Kol's side. But Kol, he was sitting with Bella's head half on his lap, with his head back and his hands over his face. He kept mumbling unintelligibly.
"Kol? Brother, what's wrong?" Klaus asked gently, unable to tell what was wrong with his brother.
"I don't know Nik. I don't even know how or when this happened! It's confusing me, Nik! I-I don't-" he trailed of, tears slowly gathered in his eyes, making their way down his face.
"Come on Kol, tell me what happened" Jenna said, while wrapping her arms around his shoulder, letting his bury his head in-between her shoulder and neck.
"I don't know when it happened, I never thought about it before but-but I love her!" he whispered quietly.
"Of course you do, you all do!" Jenna said.
"No! You don't understand! I don't love her like Nik or 'Lijah do…I'm in love with her!"
"Oh! Is that you just figuring this out, Kol?" Klaus said, feeling sorry for his little brother who hasn't felt anything like this, even when he was human.
"Yes! What do you mean 'only just figuring this out'?"
"Well, everyone else has known for ages that you two are in love with each other, it's rather obvious. Kol, you've never been in love before, not even when you were human. Of course the feelings are going to overwhelm you!" Klaus said, trying to show his brother that he was being serious.
"I only just figured it out myself Nik, I don't know what to do!" Kol shouted.
"Kol, sweetie. Just talk to her, please. If you don't want to do it now, then wait till after her dad and the Cullen's are dealt with. But it would be better if she knew you loved her before all that happens." Jenna said gently.
Kol thought about what Jenna said. It would be better for her to know before her father broke her heart. He would tell her! He would tell her when she woke up, and hope she would return his feelings.
"Ok" Kol nodded, "I'll-I'll tell her when she wakes up!" He said, his resolve hardening.
"Ok, brother. We'll wait until she wakes up then we'll leave you to it!" Klaus said.
The four of them waited 20 minutes for Bella to wake up.
When Bella woke up, she could feel Koll playing with her hair. She was glad he stayed with her, she needed to talk to him. Once Klaus, Caroline and Jenna left she would tell him, and pray that he would return her feelings.
"Hi, Belle! How are you feeling, sweetheart?" Klaus's voice came.
"I'm ok! Really, I'm fine now." Bella said "So, how about you introduce me to mate, Niko. Or are you planning on keeping her to yourself!" Bella said happily.
"Hi, I'm Caroline Forbes, but you can call me Care. It's nice to meet you Bella!" Caroline said with a smile on her face.
"It's nice to meet you too. You can call me whatever you want, I have too many nick names to count!" she laughed. "Hi Jenna!" Bella said quietly, pulling the woman in for a hug.
"Hi, sweetie. Are you sure you're ok now?" Jenna asked.
Bella nodded and smiled at the woman, wishing that she could have grown up with this woman instead of her own mother.
At Bella's frown, Nik realised she was probably thinking of her mother, so he interrupted her thoughts.
"Belle, me Jenna and Caroline are going to go down the stairs for a little while. Come down when you're ready, ok?"
"Ok?" Bella said, confused as to why they were leaving. But she figured she would find out soon enough.
Five minutes after everyone had left, Kol was sitting next to her lost in thought with a nervous glint in his eye. Not being able to bare the silence anymore, Bella spoke first.
"Kol? What's wrong, are you ok?"
"Huh? Yeah, well, I don't really know…I need to talk to you about, something" he said quietly.
"ok, just take you time honey, alright?" she said apprehensively, hoping he wasn't leaving her or something.
"Right, well. I need you to listen and not interrupt me. If I stop talking I don't think I'll start again." He said, staring into Bella's eyes. At her nod he continued.
"Ok. All my life…all 1,026 years of it, I've never connected to anyone the way I have with you. Sure, I have a connection with my siblings, my mother and Thomason. But I've never had…whatever it is that we have. I spent years thinking that I was cursed to live with only my siblings to love me because of the way I acted. Before I met you I was rash, impulsive and slightly murderous. I took blood without thought, took innocent lives. You have to understand that Bella, I'm bad, I always have been but…I don't want to be like that anymore, for you. I don't want to take blood without thought, I don't want to take lives anymore. I haven't drank from the vein since I met you, I've tried to be nicer, and I never understood why I did it. It was like my instincts, my subconscious even, wanted me to be good. I need to be good now. I want to be someone you can look upon and not see a monster…it-it would break my heart, Belle, if you were afraid of me or repulsed by me, I need you. I-I, I only figured it out this afternoon, when we were on the couch, I don't know why I didn't see it before Belle but…I'm in love with you, I think I've always been in love with you!" he said feverently, hoping that she would know he was being serious.
"Kol!" Bella whispered, tears running down her face. She scrambled over the couch to sit in his lap and pressed her lips against his.
Kol made a strangled noise, surprised that she would kiss him, he thought she would tell him that she didn't feel the same, he was only her friend, but she's kissing him…he grabbed her waist gently, kissing her back, while she ran her fingers through his hair.
She pulled back a few minutes…hours? Later and rested her forehead on his. She opened her eyes and gazed into his deep brown and green flecked eyes.
"No matter what you've done, what you do…I'll love you. Always and forever Kol!" she whispered.
Kol squeezed his eyes close for a second, processing her words. When he opened them again, Bella could see the love and happiness that shone in them.
He picked her up by the waist and spun her around, laughing happily. "I don't know what I ever did to deserve you, but know this, I'll love you, always and forever too sweetheart. Never doubt it." He whispered feverently. Kissing her gently, he placed her back on the floor, keeping his arms around her waist. He led her to the couch, and sat them both down.
"Now sweetheart. We really do need to go back the Boarding House, no matter how much I want to lock you in here and keep you to myself for a few days, your brothers are worried about you, and Jenna's pacing down the stairs." He laughed.
"Five more minutes" Bella whispered "I've been wanting to do this for ages" she said as she kissed him, harder than before.
Kol kissed her back, their kisses growing more passionate as the minutes passed by. When Bella needed to breathe, Kol broke the kiss, and started kissing down her neck, nipping at her collar bone, causing her to moan slightly. He grinned momentarily before saying "not that I don't love doing this with you darling, 'cause believe me I do. But if we don't get down the stairs in the next two minutes I believe Nik will come up and "remove us from each other, forcefully!" I quote." He said, with air quotes around Klaus's words.
"Ok, fine let's go." Bella huffed, grabbing Kol's hand and dragging him down stairs.
When they face Klaus, Caroline and Jenna, the two girls were bouncing slightly, giddy about their new found love, while Klaus narrowed his eyes at their joint hands.
"Oh, come on Niko. Don't start! If you start being difficult about me and Kol, I'll be difficult about you and Care!" she said grinning evilly, throwing Caroline a wink to let her know she wasn't being serious.
Klaus stared for a few minutes, then let out a huff "Fine! But please, for the love of god! Do NOT have sex with me in hearing or smelling range…that would be disgusting!" he shivered, while Bella scrunched her face up.
"Ew! You think I'd actually have sex with you anywhere near me? Please, I'd rather face the five…again!" she exclaimed, while Caroline, Jenna and Kol chuckled. "And! Don't you and Care have sex anywhere near me. That would be scaring, I would need therapy if I ever heard or seen…that!"
"Hey, I just had a thought!" Kol said, his cheeky grin plastered on his face "If 'Lijah is basically our father and Nik is basically Bella's does that make 'Lijah her grandfather and Caroline her mother!" he laughed.
"No! Care's younger than me, she's my super-awesome-sneaks-me-alcohol-sister, and yeah! 'Lijah can be my Grandfather…I'll start calling him gramps!" she said happily, a wicked grin forming on her face.
"Yeah, Bell's looks older than me, so that would be totally weird. But hey! Jenna's like the mother of our group, she can be your new mom!" Caroline exclaimed happily.
Bella smiled, "you know Jenna, you have that motherly air about you. It's weird but, I can see you being a mom to everyone!"
"Aww, thank you sweetie. I'm yours too know, you know!" Jenna nodded at the young girl.
Bella hugged her, glad to have met her. "Thank you" she whispered quietly.
"Everyone one ready to go? Damon's been phoning me every five minutes. He thinks Kol kidnapped you!" Klaus laughed.
"Yeah, let's go, I promised him I would make lasagne tonight" she said, smiling at Klaus.
"Lasagne!" Kol exclaimed happily, pouting prettily at Bella, and batting his lashes making Bella laugh loudly.
"Put the face away Kol, I'll make enough for everyone!" she said, making Kol and Klaus grin.
"You haven't eaten Italian food, until you've eaten Bella's Italian!" Klaus said to Caroline and Jenna.
"Well, we've had Damon's, are you better than him, because his was amazing!" Jenna said.
"Pft, I'm way better than him. I make authentic Italian, Damon makes Damon Italian, he doesn't use the right spices or the right cheese!" Bella scoffed.
"Don't get her started on Damon's cooking in front of Damon. Last time that happened there was a catastrophic food fight, ending with my poor kitchen being destroyed beyond repair!" Klaus said, mock anger in his voice, making everyone laugh.
Everyone go in the car, Kol sitting with his arm wrapped around Bella's shoulders, playing with her hair, while she held his other hand, playing with his fingers.
Klaus couldn't deny the connection between the two now they had discovered it, he watch as Kol kissed Bella's head and whisper "I love you" into her ear, what shocked him though was Bella's reaction. She snuggled further into Kol's embrace, bringing his hand to her mouth so she could kiss his palm as she whispered "I love you too" back.
He pulled out his phone and text Damon.
Belle and Kol told each other they loved one another! Ask Bonnie if we can tell them they're mates! ~K
She said to wait, until they summon your mother again. She thinks it will be better to wait a till then anyway, after Charlie and the Cullen's are completely gone from her life. ~D
Fine, but you can shout at them, or threaten Kol when you see how they're acting…she's threatened to withhold food from people who do! ~K
Aww, Shit! Ok, well I'll pass the message onto Stefan. See you soon. ~D
Klaus put his phone back in his pocket, still keeping his eye on Belle and Kol.
A few minutes laterthey pulled up at the Boarding House. Klaus stepped out the car and took Caroline hand, threading their fingers together, he gently kissed her forehead, and smiled at her. She smiled back and kissed his cheek. Jenna startled them with her loud "aww" making Caroline groan and Klaus laugh.
Bella and Kol, were standing much the same. Their fingers were entwined, and she was leaning into his side, both of them looking happier than ever before.
Walking into the House, Bella was picked off her feet by a blur of raven hair. "Are you ok, cari?" Damon asked, at Bella's nod, he set her down.
As soon as her feet planted on the floor she shouted "Stefan if you want dinner tonight DO NOT whoosh over here and pick me up, walk nicely, allow the human to see the approach!" she said slowly and sarcastically. Stefan pouted, but still walked over to her at a normal pace and hugged her tightly.
"Are you sure you're ok, sweetie?" he asked, searching her face.
She grinned happily "yep, I know it will be hard letting Charlie go, but it's for the best, he chose not to be in this world, I accept his decision." Bella shrugged.
"Only if your sure sweetheart, so…when are you making dinner!" he asked eagerly, bouncing on the balls of his feet, making her chuckle.
"My god woman! What do you put in your food, Stefan has never done…that before!" Elena said pointing at her boyfriend, looking at him as if he were a stranger.
Bella shrugged "I feed him good Italian! Every way to a man's heart, vampire or not, is good food. Plus, I usually use blood in my meat sauces for the vampires, to make it tastier for them."
"That's what's in your sauces!" Damon exclaimed "I could never figure it out" he pouted.
"Aww, Dami. Poor baby, do you need a hug!" Bella said in a childlike voice.
Damon nodded, pouting slightly at her. She grinned and hugged him tightly. When she released him she walked over to Kol and took his hand, dragging him to the kitchen shouting over her shoulder "we're going to cook…stay out the kitchen!"
Klaus chuckled and said, "Wait a minute, don't you have something to say to everyone Kol!" he raised an eyebrow.
"Oh yeah…so you know how 'Lijah is basically our father, and Nik is basically Belle's well, wouldn't that make 'Lijah her grandfather?" He asked innocently.
Everyone laughed, while Elijah threatened the couple "If anyone calls me Grandfather, or any variation of the word, I will hunt down those daggers we cast to the ocean and use them!" he said menacingly, making Bella snort in amusement at her uncle.
"Don't worry Uncle 'Lijah, I won't ruin your rep with the ladies!" she said wiggling her eyebrows at him, knowing he won't know what that meant.
"Someday, I will have to learn what youngsters mean when they speak."
"Well, does that make Caroline, Bella's mom?" Jeremy asked sounding confused.
Everyone laughed as Caroline pouted "No, she's my "super-awesome-sneaks-me-alcohol-sister" Jenna's my mom!" she stated proudly.
"Caroline" Jeremy said seriously "can you be my sister as well? Elena doesn't give me booze, she won't even let Damon give me any, anymore!" He pouted like a little boy.
"Jeremy Grayson Gilbert, you are 17, you do not drink. If Damon does give you any alcohol, I'll find a way to get vervain into every alcoholic drink in a 500 mile radius!" She stated, seriously.
"Way to go Jer!" Damon whined.
Bella giggled, as she pulled Kol into the kitchen, shutting the door tightly behind them. She turned and kissed Kol passionately, whispering "I love you" against his lips, as he circled her waist with his hands.
Kol backed Bella against the counter, picking her up by the waist and settling her on the counter top.
She wrapped her legs around his waist as the kiss deepened, pulling him closer to her. She ran her hands down his chest and under his shirt, tracing his muscles, while Kol ran his hands up and down her sides feeling her curves.
He moved his lips down her neck, nibbling her collar bone again, in hope of the same reaction as earlier. She moaned quietly, loving the feelings he gave her.
Kol was turned on to the point of pain, the way Bella touched him and reacted to him. He ground his hips against her arousal, making her whimper out an "oh god!" before she grabbed his collar and dragged his lips back to hers. Before they could go any further, there was a knock on the door.
Bella let her head fall back as Kol rested his forehead on the curve of her neck.
"What is it?" Bella said breathlessly.
"Erm Bells? Its care, you better stop that before Damon wakes back up! We had to snap his neck…he's not too happy about the, noises, coming from the kitchen." Caroline said through the door.
"Yeah, well, I've had to put up with him and his "noises" before, so he can be civil and do the same!" she said, making Kol laugh.
"Yeah, well, you were warned… I think Klaus and Stefan are siding with Damon!"
"Well, they can go stake themselves for all I care…I'm not exactly having sex in here am I? No! So tell them if they want fed, they'll leave us alone!" Bella huffed, sick of being interrupted.
"Ok, have fun…but not too much!" Caroline demanded, before walking away.
"Oh, sweetheart. You do realise that Nik, 'Lijah, Finn, Stefan and Damon are all going to want to kill me?"
"No they won't, they don't want to upset me!" she said cheekily, knowing that she would withhold food, and make every attempt possible to ruin their sex lives or the things they liked. "Anyway, we need to cook. Will you go get me a few blood bags from the freezer in the basement, please babe!"
"Of course, but don't call me babe that's…offensive!" he huffed.
"Aww, poor baby." She whimpered mockingly "and if anyone locks Kol in the cellar, I won't speak to you for the next 200 years!" Bella shouted louder so everyone could hear.
Kol laughed nervously, when he heard Damon grumble about Bella not keeping a grudge that long.
He sped out the kitchen and down to the basement, trying to avoid the men in the house, who seemed to want to kill him.
When he got back to the kitchen, Bella was cooking, humming quietly and drinking a glass of bourbon. He walked up behind her and wrapped his hands around her wasted, burying his head in her hair, inhaling her sweet scent.
"Hi, baby!" she whispered, sounding relaxed.
"Hi, sweetheart. The blood's over there. The girls want to come sit with you, is that ok? I'll go and have a drink with the boys."
"Yeah, that's fine." she said as she turned and kissed him lovingly on the lips.
"Ok, I'll get them…" he mumbled against her lips, tightening his grip on her hips. After a few minutes he pulled back and walked away saying "I love you" over his shoulder.
"Love you too, babe!" Bella shouted, giggling as her grumbled about being called babe.
A few minutes later, the women in the house descended on the kitchen, caring a few bottles of wine.
"So Bella" Elena said "how did you and Kol finally happen?"
"What do you mean finally?" Bella asked, curiously.
"Well, everyone knows you two have been in love for ages…I just don't think you knew!"
"Hmm, it wasn't until earlier, when Kol took me home. I was panicking about my mom and dad, and worried about…well, I was worried that Niko and Kol would leave me as well. I mean, if my mom and dad could give up so easily, what was stopping them! But Kol, calmed me down, he kissed my forehead, nose and cheeks, but I turned me head and he caught my lips. We didn't do anything it was just…that. But it got me thinking about everything with Kol and I realised I loved him…like in love with him. I decided to tell him when Care, Jenna and Niko left the room, but he bet me to the punch. He told me he wouldn't, couldn't, leave me he didn't deserve me but, that he couldn't leave me as he gets a pain in his chest when I'm away from him, I get it too. But we don't understand what it is." Bella said, running a hand through her hair, trying to figure out what the pain was.
Elena gasped, but tried to cover it with a cough.
"Don't take me as stupid 'Lena, what was the gasp for?"
"well" Elena said nervously "the pain you're talking about, me and Stefan get that too, so do Hayley and Tyler." she shrugged, trying to play it off as nothing.
"But aren't you guys ma-…" Bella cut off with a gasp. Of course, she is so stupid. She and Kol were mates! She remembered reading about mates, all the signs were there!
"Damn" she said, slightly shocked and awed.
"Did you figure it out sweetie?" Jenna asked.
"Yeah, don't know why I didn't sooner! How did you all know?" she asked, narrowing her eyes.
"Well, before Nik came, we summoned Esther and asked her, after Damon compared you and Kol to Elena and Stefan!" Caroline said.
In the main room, the guys were drinking. Everyone was staring at Kol who was staring into the fire, a look of concentration on his face. He sat like that for a good 20 minutes before he gasped and mumble "I'm an idiot" under his breath.
"Well, I will agree with you there brother. But care to share this epiphany you seemed to have had?" Klaus said sarcastically.
"Well, I was just thinking about me and Belle, you and Care, Stefan and Elena and Tyler and Hayley…I think me and Belle are mates!" he whispered.
"Hallelujah!" Stefan exclaimed throwing his hands in the air "We've known for ages!"
"How?" Kol asked, shocked "Does everyone know everything before we do?" he demanded.
"Well, Damon made the comparisons before you showed up, and we summoned your mother and asked her. We couldn't tell you before you two fund out you loved each other though. It would have hurt too much." Stefan shrugged.
Kol didn't say anything, he just sat there with a big grin on his face.
TIMESKIP TO DINNER
Bella had made her famous lasagne, and it went down a treat. Everyone loved it, declaring it better than Damon's, much to his chagrin.
The vampires, and hybrid, could hear a car pull into the drive and a door slam shut. They looked around confused, everyone was here.
Damon answered the door to find a copper haired boy standing on it looking angry. Damon tensed as anger flooded his system.
"You, ya little prick! What the fuck do you think you're doing here after what you did to Bella?" he demanded.
"Fuck off Damon, the little bitch deserved it. Now where is she?" Edward Cullen sneered "Isabella, get your arse out here now, before I beat you AGAIN" he shouted into the house.
Damon could here everyone growl, even the humans, and smiled snarkily at the little fucker in front of him.
"Shouldn't have done that little Edi, you've just pissed off a lot of people!" he said smugly "why don't you come in!" he said, mock happiness in his voice, as he dragged Edward unceremoniously into the house and through into the main room. He threw him on the floor as everyone gathered round him.
"Edward…meet my family!" Bella said, as she waved her hand round the room, pointing everyone out.
"Oh, how nice. Now move it, grab your shit and get in the car!" he sneered.
"Well, you see Edward. I was in the middle of dinner with my brothers, uncles, aunts, friends and boyfriend, and you interrupted so rudely. How about me and the boys teach you a lesson, hmm? Leave marks on you, the same way you left them on me, then…make you forget you want me. Tell me Edi, how does being in love with Mike Newton sound to you?" Bella giggled quietly at the thought.
"You heard her guys, let's go!" Kol said as he dragged Edward down to the cellar by the collar, shouting "By baby, love you!" over his shoulder to Bella.
"Love you too, just don't kill him or break any limbs. He needs to get home at the end of the day!" she giggled at Kol calling her baby.
"Aww, ignoring the threats being made to the little dip shit on the floor, you two are so cute together!" Bekah squealed at Bella, whilst hugging her.
"Thanks, Bex" Bella whispered. "I'm going up to my room for a little while I have a…phone call to make." Bella said sadly, "Can you send Kol up when he's back?" She asked Bekah.
"Of course sweetheart. Do you want someone with you?" she asked her little niece gently.
"No, this is something I have to do on my own!" Bella said.
"Ok" Bekah said gently.
Bella sat on her bed and dialled her father's number.
"Hello?" he answered
"Hi, dad" Bella said "How are you?" she asked kindly.
"I'm good, Bella. How's it going in Mystic Falls? Is Damon behaving?" He laughed lightly.
"Yeah, he's been good as gold. You'll never guess who's here with us!" Bella said, trying to sound upbeat.
"Who?" Charlie asked suspiciously.
"Nik and his family" she said quietly.
"Isabella Swan, I told you! I fucking told you, not to get yourself involved with that type! They're monsters!" he shouted
"No they aren't!" Bella shouted back, "They are my family!"
"No they aren't. I am your family! You're lucky I even let you near the Salvatore's, knowing that they're blood sucking leeches!" he sneered in disgust.
"Let me! You don't let me do anything Charlie Swan! I make my own decisions. I always have, you and Renee never did anything to help me have a proper childhood. I had to cook and pay the bills from the age of 7! So don't start playing Daddy now! I have my family, I am a Salvatore, a real Salvatore! You are just a man who ruined my childhood!"
"Well, if you feel that way, then don't come back to Forks! Stay with your precious vampires, see if I care. Don't come running back to me when one of them takes a bite out of you or they get tired of you and leave! Useless bitch!" he mumbled the last bit quietly but she still heard.
"You're a dick! I hope you die a lonely old life…don't expect to ever see me again!" she yelled into the phone.
Bella ended the call, and threw her phone against the wall, smashing it. She broke down, she knew it would be hard letting him go, but she never expected him to treat her like that. She could feel the tears fall down her face, but her heart wasn't breaking, but it still hurt to hear her father call her family names and call her names.
"Kol?" she sobbed, "Bekah, get Kol!" Bella said louder.
A few seconds later, Kol had his arms around her, her head on his chest.
"Tell me sweetheart? What happened?" Kol whispered urgently.
"I called Charlie. I told him you were all hear and he flipped, started calling you names and telling me I "wasn't allowed" near you. Then he called you all names, saying the brothers and your family would leave me…he called me a useless bitch!" she cried into his chest, letting the tears of betrayal fall.
"He never did anything for me Kol. I lost out on a real childhood because of Him and Renee. I never got to go out with my friends or have sleepovers. I have to feed her and myself from the age of 7. I didn't get to sneak out to parties in high school and get grounded for coming home at 4am. It's not fair Kol!" she cried.
Kol never said anything in reply, he only held her closer to his chest, murmuring how much he loved her, and how none of them would leave her.
After a few minutes she had stopped crying. She kissed him gently, murmuring a thank you against his lips. They lay down together, just enjoying each other's warm.
Kol fell asleep after a little while, but Bella stayed up, just watching him sleep.
A knock at the door interrupted her almost perverted thoughts. Caroline came through the door.
"Hi honey. I couldn't help but overhear what you said to Kol. I wasn't trying to listen, but I couldn't help it." She said sheepishly. "But me and the girls decided to rectify some of your situations. Tonight we're all staying at mine, after my mom goes to sleep we're sneaking out, getting drunk and sneaking back in before my mom can catch us, then tomorrow everyone is having a big sleepover here in the Boarding House. How does that sound?" She asked, feeling nervous about being caught eavesdropping.
Bella rose from the bed and walked to Caroline.
"Care…you are the best!" Bella said reverently, grabbing Caroline into an almost rib cracking hug.
"What are friends for?" Caroline said, making Bella laugh.
Bella thought "can my life get much better…I don't think so!"
What do you guys think!
Most of this chapter came to me easier than the first two!
Next chapter should be up be Wednesday at the latest…I'm thinking a lemon or two are needed :D
Unfortunately, there will definetly only be 2 or 3 more chapters sadness, maybe I'll write an Elijah spin-off.
As always, leave Reviews, hope you all enjoy it! 3
Ginge xoxo
