PART XII

Beth's POV

After I finished eating, Elena came over, and I decided to do what Damon suggested, I drove over the Gilbert's house to see Jeremy. He was still not answering my calls, even my texts. Yes, we're not yet on the stage where we call ourselves boyfriends and girlfriends, we're not even officially dating. But there's something between us, right? I'm not being clingy or whatsoever, but...we kissed right? I know we had connection, or was I too assuming? It was making me frustrated, I reached the Gilbert's house, as I was about to step out of the truck, I saw Jeremy walking out of the front door, another familiar face, Bonnie. I don't know what they were talking about, but Jeremy's looking happy and relieved. I guess that Bonnie's about to leave since Jeremy hugged her. I started my truck and left.

He can't even send me a single text about how he is, because he was busy with Bonnie? I know that I shouldn't feel jealous because they've known each other even before I arrived, and even before Elena was a vampire. I know that they had a past. But, I just can't stop myself from being jealous and hurt. I decided to drive to Mystic Grill to grab some drinks, but they weren't selling liquors to minors, so I just ordered some frappe.

"No alcohol for a young girl?" A familiar voice startled me. I turned around to see who it was, and rolled my eyes at him. It was Klaus.

"Did you just roll your eyes on me?" He grinned, and spoke to the bartender,

"One rhum for me and another one mixed with coffee and melon juice for the young lady here." As the bartender obviously knew that I was a minor, Klaus fixed his eyes and compelled him. I knew that he did because the bartender did not argue anymore. There was an awkward silence, and the drinks came. I sipped. It tastes good, rhum and coffee and melon juice.

"Thanks. This taste good, and I love melons." I told him.

"You're welcome, love. And yes, I noticed that you love melons, you smell like one too. Sweet and enthralling. So what are you doing drinking frappes here alone?" He said, I blushed mindlessly.

"It's nothing, not really serious stuff" I lied.

"Really? Tell me." He claimed.

"We're still not on good terms okay?" I told him and he raised his thick eyebrows.

"What love?"

"You almost killed me that day with Tyler's body. You made a fool out of me by not telling who you are back in the library." I blurted. He was laughing.

"I am not and will never make a fool out of you dear, you're quite interesting eh?" He said and I rolled my eyes once more.

Jeremy's POV

11 missed calls and text messages from Beth, she must have been really worried. I don't know if I should tell her about my problem, maybe I should, I told Bonnie and she said she'd help me figure it out. Tried to call Beth but her phone was out of reach. Drove down the Mystic Grill to talk to Matt about what I've talked to Bonnie with. As I walked towards the Grill, I saw a familiar truck, it was Beth's. I walked faster; Beth must be inside the Grill. I opened the door and saw Beth sitting by the bar, laughing, she looked beautiful when she laughs like that, carefree and genuine. Her hair was in a messy braid, she was wearing a blue corset-like top and a white maxi skirt. If I didn't know her, I would think that she was a model or an actress from Holywood lost in a small town in Virginia. I started walking towards her an noticed who she was talking with, Klaus.

"Beth." I spoke, interrupting her laughter, she looked at me.

"Hi Jerrrrrrrrr! You remembered me!" She greeted me, a drink on her hand. Alcohol? I grabbed the drink from her hand and she stood up. She clearly is not drunk, but she looks mad from what I did.

"Why are you drinking here? Did they allow you to get some alcohol? Do they know that you're not yet legal?" I emphasized the word legal, glaring at Klaus. He looked amused.

"Oh Jer! Calm yo tits!" Beth said, making fun of me.

"Stop it, Beth. Let's go." Beth didn't fought with me, she stood willingly and walked with me. And she glanced back and smiled at Klaus.

"Thanks!" She called.

We went to her truck, I sat on the driver's seat and she was beside me on the passenger's seat. There was silence, I started the engine of the truck and drove to nowhere. I just wanted to be alone with Beth. We reached a clearing somewhere on the west of the Salvatore Boarding house, there was more of the awkward silence, and I decided to talk first.

"Sorry." I told her, she was looking down at her hands; she was twisting and intertwining her fingers.

"Sorry for what?" She said coldly, still not looking at me.

"If I made you worry. I was just having some difficult time after...Connor died." That was not a lie. She looked at me with concern.

"You can tell, Jer! I know that I lack power, and I still can't control my powers like Bonnie, but I can listen too, you know."

"I'm really sorry, but I am going to be honest with you. Because I know that we have to be honest with each other..." I told her, while reaching for a leaf stuck on the braid of her hair, "After Connor died, his tattoos were transferred into mine. I became a hunter too." Alarm was clear on her reaction.

"What? I'm sorry. I didn't know." She whispered.

"It's okay, I'm sorry too. I just don't know how to handle it, I asked Bonnie. I haven't told the others yet." I told her. We talked about what Bonnie told me, and the plans I have now that I am also a hunter.

"No, I would never hurt our friends." I assured her. We've talked about this stuff, but I know that our talk wasn't over yet, on a moment of silence she spoke quietly.

"Tell me about your relationship with Bonnie...and your past relationships." She said, looking at me through her long and thick eyelashes. Since I told her that we should be honest with each other, I started telling her about Vicki, and how she turned into a vampire and almost killed me and Elena, and then there's Ana who was a vampire even older than Stefan and Damon. And then Bonnie, we broke up because I was seeing my dead vampire ex-girlfriends, especially Ana, whom I never forgotten.

"So, You and Bonnie haven't really talked about it?" She looked hurt. And I was too.

Rebekah's POV

Since I met Beth, I was enjoying high school even more, though I've lived for a very long time; I've never been into normal schooling because we're always running from Michael. I am worried for Beth, really. She told me she was hurt when she found out that Jeremy needed to see Bonnie more often because he needs help on something she can't help him with, and only Bonnie can. I was shocked to know that Jeremy had girlfriends before, vampire girlfriends, and he cheated on Bonnie with a ghost!

"Well, I think we're really friends, because I've always liked boys who are weird." I told her and she smiled her pretty shy smile.

For many times, I've tried talking to Matt, but he kept on dodging me. He's still angry of course. I offered him a new truck, he kept it, but he's still not talking to me.

"You must really like Matt." She said, it was not a question, but do I like Matt? I could not remember feeling like this for a long time since Stefan, before my brother daggered me. But, I am different now, if I was the Rebekah back then, well, Matt would've obeyed me because of fear. But as I said, I'm different now, more different when I knew that I would always be the only one loving Klaus, and he would never see that, and even more different when Beth came and became friends with me. She stayed with me even if others are telling her not to, she trusted me even if she's the only one believing. Beth has this amazing thing in her, like a power, an aura that once someone gets in touch with it, they would never leave her side.

I was sitting alone at the Mystic Grill and a voice suddenly interrupted me.

"So, can I take your order now?" It was Matt. Obviously angry at me, not even bothering to look at me, to tell the truth, I was hurt. I found the courage to smile at him. He ignored it, still waiting for an answer.

"Uhm, just give me today's special." I told him, and immediately left. I sighed. To be honest, Matt's being a little girly. But I wouldn't blame him; I almost killed him, and killed Elena instead, turning her into a vampire. But I was too angry that time, Alaric supposedly killed Klaus, which didn't really happened because of Bonnie's witchcraft, but if Elena's alive, then Alaric would be alive and after me too. A few minutes after, Matt came back with my order, it was a double burger and some fries and root beer. He didn't look at me while transferring the foods from the tray.

"Why are you even ordering? You don't eat human food." He said coldly.

"Uh, because you asked me earlier..." I answered the truth, I don't eat this. After the last food in the tray he turned.

"Matt! Wait." I called to him before he started walking away. He looked at me, waiting.

"Please talk to me." I told him finally.
