It was Jo and Alaric's wedding day and you couldn't be any happier for them. After all the recent drama with Kai and Damon and Stefan's mom, you all needed a good milestone that would take the darkness out of your lives.
"Can you help me with this?" You asked Tyler, holding up your favorite necklace as you stood in front of the mirror.
Tyler smiled softly and headed towards you. He took your necklace and began clasping it around your neck. "I'm surprised you still wear this thing." He said trying to hold back his frown – he was referring to the necklace your ex-boyfriend gave you. "If he was here today, he would regret his decision." He threw in an awkward reassuring smile before walking off.
You didn't really know what to say whenever someone mentioned Klaus. How do you let people know it's fine that your boyfriend left and picked an army of hybrids in New Orleans over you? The asshole didn't even bother asking you to come with him. He just up and left one morning, and left a simple note.
I'm sorry for doing this to you sweetheart but one day you'll understand.
Yours forever, Klaus
Even the pathetic note stayed permanently plastered in your brain. You took a deep sigh and tried composing yourself. This was Jo and Alaric's day – you weren't going to start crying in the middle of their ecstatic moment.
As you headed down the aisle as Jo's maid of honor, you smiled warmheartedly at everyone. You imagined what it would be like doing the exact same thing but as Klaus's wife. You couldn't help but still wonder about him every day. Everything between you two was so fucking perfect it seemed unreal. You two had been dating for months without a problem till his certain fascination with New Orleans started. No matter how much you didn't want to admit it, you missed him more than anything.
You flashed Elena a reassuring smile during Jo's vows trying to let her know you were fine. She had this weird thing about her where she always knew whatever you were feeling, like a weird freaky best friend connection.
Before you knew it, Jo began bleeding from her stomach. "Wh-what's wrong?!" You shouted, a second before a villainous Kai appeared abruptly behind her. Within a short minute, the happiest day turned into the most brutalist and you blacked out.
The sound of a machine beeping woke you up. Your eyes were blinked open – you realized you were in a hospital room. You looked down at your hand to find someone was holding onto it tightly while their head was laying on the bed.
"Kl-Klaus?" You called out softly, your mouth was so parched you could barely speak.
Klaus' head immediately shot in your direction as he got up and inched his face close to yours. "Do you have any idea how badly you've scared me, love?" He mumbled, brushing your hair behind your ear.
Just as you were about to speak, you began choking. Klaus quickly got a cup of water and held it to your lips. When it was finally enough, you pushed his hand away.
"What are you doing here?" You asked bitterly, gripping the sheets tightly on both sides.
Klaus scoffed and sat by your side, the back of his fingers gently brushing your cheek. You turned your head, letting him know that touching you was definitely not an option. He smiled at this – he loved it when you tried fighting back. Your feistiness was what caught his attention in the first place. "As soon as Rick's wedding tragically blew up, Tyler gave me a call. I wanted to make sure you were okay." He answered.
You stared ahead and avoided his longing gaze. If you looked into his beautiful blue and green eyes, you knew you'd have no choice but to soften up. "Well, as you can see, I'm completely fine so you can leave now." You angrily answered back, making his smug smile soon disappear.
Before he would find an excuse to stay, an angry Damon and Stefan walked in. "What the hell are you doing here?" Damon harshly spat, looking between you and Klaus for answers.
Klaus held his hands up in surrender sarcastically. "Now now Damon, play nice. I'm just here to have a little chat with my girlfriend." He emphasized the last word while looking at you.
Stefan grabbed Klaus by the collar of his shirt and slammed him against the wall in vampire speed. "Y/N isn't your girlfriend anymore Klaus, so I suggest you get out of here." He mumbled, his fangs darting out.
In response, Klaus chuckled and just as fast reached inside Stefan's chest, grabbing hold of his heart. "I've been playing nice with you Salvatore brothers but not for long." He smirked and gave Stefan's heart a gentle squeeze, making him groan in pain. "Damon, be a gentleman and keep your brother company outside, will you? I need some time alone with my girl." He said through gritted teeth.
Damon looked confusedly between you and Klaus. He wanted to keep you safe from the hybrid but in the same time, he didn't want his brother to die either.
"Go Damon! I can handle him!" You yelled reassuringly, tears pooling in your eyes. Klaus always threatened people to get what he wanted, it was the only way he knew how to get things done. Bastard always fought dirty.
Without uttering anything else, Damon and Stefan left you alone with your raging ex lunatic of a boyfriend.
"Why do you always have to do that?" You whispered, your hands balling into fists. You hated the fact that your body hurt so much you could barely get up. You friends didn't heal you with their blood because they knew of your strict no vampire blood policy.
"Do what?" Klaus asked with an innocent smile dancing on his lips as he sat by your bed again.
"Torture everyone around me." You said answered bluntly, meeting his gaze. God, he was so handsome, it didn't help your case.
He chuckled and kissed you softly on the forehead. "Come on sweetheart, stop being angry and just forgive me already. You know you can't resist my charms." He gave you his best puppy dog look, which just made you hate him even more.
You crossed your arms over your chest like a stubborn little girl. "No. You fucking left me and didn't bother looking back." You knew you were about to cry with how blurry your vision was getting.
Klaus sighed took both your hands in his, forcing you to look at him. "You really think I'd leave you here all alone? I've had people watch over you every single day while I was gone. Why do you think Tyler has always conveniently been beside you?" He smiled, his cute little dimple appearing.
You didn't want to believe him but you knew it was true. You thought back to every little bad thing that happened since Klaus left and he was right, Tyler was there for you every step of the way. You just thought it was because he had a crush on you or something. "Then why didn't you come back for me? You made me feel like I wasn't enough." You whispered, barely audible for him to hear.
Klaus lifted the covers and slid himself next to you, his arms wrapping themselves around you. You cried into his chest, clutching onto his shirt. You didn't want your heart to break all over again. "I was building a life for us in New Orleans. I wanted to make sure everything was perfect for us there before bringing you with me. I didn't want to endanger you." He explained while running his fingers through your hair.
Hitting his chest repeatedly, you continued sobbing. "You should have let me decide what's dangerous or not." You continued hitting him, which only made him laugh in return at your small attempts of trying to hurt him. "Stop laughing!" You shouted angrily as you were about to slap him across the face.
He easily took hold of your wrist before your hand collided with his face, and captured your lips in a kiss. You poured your heart out to him with your lips as your arms wrapped themselves around his neck. Klaus smiled at how eager you were. "Let's go home, sweetheart." He mumbled against your lips.
