"Niklaus"
Klaus glanced over at the door only to find Elijah strolling in.
"I take it your trip went well?"
"Indeed. I am pleased to have returned earlier than expected."
Klaus nodded and went back to drawing. Upon further examination of the room -which was a mess, Elijah could see that all he's drawn, painted or thought about was Bonnie.
"Rebecca has informed me of the situation between you and Miss Bennet."
Klaus was silent and switched pencils to a darker shade for her hair. Elijah walked across the room to the large canvas his brother had leaned against the wall.
"This is…The meadow where we used to play as painted us… I remember this day. Finn was gazing at the view from under the apple tree .You and Kol pushed Rebecca into the she gathered water and chased you two around the field. Of course she got to me as well and splashed me with water, causing me to get the excretions of our horse and smear it on her face."
Elijah chuckled. "How upset she was with all of us."
Klaus smiled. "it is one of my happier memories."
Looking at his latest drawing of bonnie, he sighed and let it fall to the ground.
Elijah frowned and put a hand in his pocket. "Does she know of your feelings?"
Klaus grunted in response. Elijah continued.
"Brother, I know you care for her. Why have you separated yourself from her? Surely you know a woman needs-"
"I'm not like you Elijah. I don't know if you've noticed but Its been a while since I allowed myself to care for someone. I don't just open up my heart and hope for the best. I-…I Loved, Love Bonnie but what she did with Stefan-"
"It is an unfortunate occurrence, which is upsetting- however who are you to point fingers Niklaus? Do you wish to tell me that you have always been some kind of Moral upstanding citizen? We both know that is furthest from the truth and this is coming from me, the most moral of all of us and even I must admit I have faltered before."
Klaus was silent pondering his brother's words.
Elijah sighed and threw Klaus a blood bag.
"You clearly haven't fed in a while, but rather spend who knows how long locked up in here lost in your mind. If you truly love her like I know you do you must tell her. She is magic but she is not that gifted. She will not just guess your feelings and comply to your will, Communication is imperative if you want things to be as they were, If you wish to be joyous again. All is not lost, your happiness awaits."
"you always gave the pep talks" Klaus chuckled.
"It is among one of my favourable traits" Elijah smirked
Bonnie was sitting in her Science class, chewing on a was deeply engrossed in the words of her textbook and looking at formula's. Ever since the Klaus confrontation she's plunged herself in her studies. It was the best she could do to keep herself from thinking about Klaus, or Stefan for that matter.
Bonnie hadn't seen Stefan at school since it happened and felt had made it a point to stop by the boarding house after her clubbing with Rebecca who- found some new boytoy that occupies half of her time. Damon had told her Stefan was on some kind of mission.
Why hadn't he told her about it? What if it was dangerous? She bounced these off Damon who shrugged before giving up, telling her that he was merely retrieving something that belonged to the family, so it would be a piece of cake. He also added that Stefan was probably taking his sweet time because he was hurting so he wanted to deal for a bit then come home. If it weren't for that Stefan Should have been back after a few days at best.
This little piece of info didn't help Bonnie feel any better.
Klaus has been quiet too, according to Rebecca, he's cooped himself somewhere in the house and she's starting to worry because its been a while since he's fed and even though he wont die, he'll only make things worse by making his emotional torture turn physical when his body starts to desecrate without proper nourishment.
Becks, Bonnies Nickname for her- Also told her not to lose faith because he's been in his mini dungeon he's created for himself and its clear he still thinks about Bonnie all the time and he misses her.
"he's starting to crack, I can feel it. He will be yours again soon bonnie"
Rebecca's words played over and over in her head whenever she thought about Klaus.
Bonnie's science teacher walked in at that moment and asked the class to go to the class next door and sit at a prepared table with their partner, ready to do an experiment.
Bonnie inwardly groaned. Stefan was her partner and as of late he hasn't exactly been in was too bad though, he had really helped her, motivated her to actually do work and with some of his tutoring her marks improved too.
Picking a table at the back, Bonnie sat quietly and stared out the missed him and she wanted to say so much, if only he'd freaking come back so she could have the chance to-
As if the universe heard her, Mr Duncan's loud voice suddenly registered in her head.
"Look who's decided to join us class."
Bonnies eyes were focussed on her page, it was too good to be true, it couldn't be-
"Mr Salvatore. I hope your family trip was worth it just before examinations….."
Mr Duncans words were drowned out as Bonnie locked eyes with Stefan. He held her gaze for a moment before closing his eyes, breathing deeply and coming over to her.
Bonnie broke out of her trance and flashed him a beaming smile, which he responded to by looking at the floor. Getting up to hug him she stopped abrubtly when she heard his voice.
"Sit." His voice was so stern that she plopped back down in her chair.
"Stefan I-" Bonnie reached out to touch him.
"Don't."
Clapping his hands, Mr duncan Tried to get the attention of the class. "alright everyone, for the practical component you may chose to work on you own or with your partners your the matirials are at your workstations, instructions on your desk, you have one hour."
With a weak smile, Bonnie looked to Stefan.
"Okay so I think we should do question 1 first because-"
"Its better if we work on our own" Stefan said not even looking at her, but rather while scribbling something on his paper."
"okay"Bonnie whispered.
She was on the verge of tears. Stefan was MIA for weeks and he comes home and won't even speak to, let alone look at her?
When the lesson was over, Bonnie packed her things quickly and snuck into the parking lot, undetected- or so she thought.
"Where are you going?"
Bonnie cringed and turned around. "Rebecca"
Rebecca walked over to her taking her hand and speeding them off to the grill.
Pushing her blonde hair back and reapplying her lipstick she said "I should have known you weren't dealing with all of was clear when Stefan walked past that I had to check on you"
"No you didn't. I'm fine"
"You're a terrible liar B."
Bonnie put her head on the table. "Stefan wont even talk to me and he's walking around like some Zombie"
"You did shatter his heart and break it into a million do you expect? For him to run into your arms?"
"he didn't tell me he was leaving, Stefan always tells me-"
"Correction. He used to always tell you. B, Stefan isn't seeing you anymore. You don't have the right anymore, You aren't together."
The realization hit her like a ton of was right, She expected him to jump up and squeeze her tight and rub soothing cricles on her back. To be able to lay her head on his shoulder and tell him everything and anything. She still Felt like she had this connection with him no one was allowed to touch. She had still felt that Stefan was hers.
But he wasn't anymore because she chose Klaus.
The radio of the grill was playing softly in the background and Bonnie listened to the lyrics. "How ironic", she thought.
"Some things you can't go back to, some things need left alone. Don't mess with a memories of a life passed on. Oh the tumbling reservations at the heart of my mistakes. Oh some things you can't go back to cause you let them slip away…."
