Chapter 38

I made it home pretty quickly, the perks to finally having my own car it didn't take me forever to get around anymore. I got changed and then walked back into the living room where I was surprised to see Klaus sitting on my couch.

It instantly pissed me off, "Why are you in my house?"

He didn't answer.

"Just because I invited you in doesn't mean you can just come and go as you please."

"Why did you act like that?" He asked in a calm voice.

"Seriously? You have to ask that? Don't you get it people don't like to get ordered around." I said a little louder than I meant to be.

"You need to understand little witch, this is my town and you will obey me." He shouted.

I looked at him in disbelief, "What am I, your dog?"

"Don't make jokes." He ordered.

"Then quit saying stupid shit, I don't obey anyone haven't you learned that yet, I am my own person and if you don't like that then maybe this arrangement isn't working after all." This man knew how to piss me off like no other.

He stared at me for a moment then said "Don't you dare threaten me."

I was thrown by his comment "I'm not threatening you Klaus, I'm just stating a fact, if you're going to treat me like I'm nothing more than a pet then I don't think there's any reason to continue with this, I know my kind means nothing to you but you're no better than I am."

"I never said I thought I was better than you." There was something behind the way he said that but I didn't get a chance to ask because he was gone as quickly as he got there.

I stared blankly where he had just been sitting. There was so much I didn't understand about the way Klaus operated, he came here just to yell at me some more. Like he hadn't done enough of that back at Rousseau's. My mind was spinning from the day of craziness so I needed to talk to my best friend.

I called Rayne but she wasn't the one who answered her phone. When I heard the voice it immediately made my heart flutter. I hadn't heard his voice in two full months.

"Uh… Is your sister around?" My voice wasn't cooperating with me and if he wouldn't have been a vampire he probably wouldn't have heard me.

"She's actually out, she left her phone at home." Damon told me.

"Oh… Ok then…" I don't know why I was having such a hard time talking to him.

"So what I don't even get a hey or hello or anything?" Damon said with a little bit of hurt in his voice.

"I'm sorry" I was finally able to say.

"Did I really piss you off that bad that you can't even talk to me?" He said softly.

My heart immediately swelled "It's nothing like that, it's just hard…"

"I get it" He sighed "I really do."

"I miss you" The words slipped out before I could stop them.

There was silence on the other end.

"Shit I don't know why I said that." I cursed at my insensitivity.

I heard a light chuckle "Because you always seem to say exactly what's on your mind."

"Even if I don't mean to" I agreed.

"So how are you?" He asked cautiously.

"I'm actually doing well, it's taken some getting used to being on my own but better than I could have imagined." I told him honestly.

"Oh" I could hear the disappointment in his voice.

"So what about you? How have you been?" I asked not knowing if I really wanted to hear the answer.

"I've been alright, not great or anything but as good as I can be." The tone of his voice broke my heart.

"Damon you need to live your life" I don't know what made me say that "You need to give you and Elena a real shot, I can't try to have a relationship with you knowing that you love someone else."

"How would it be fair for Elena?" He said harshly "How can I be with her when I'm in love with you."

"You're in love with someone else?" I heard a women's voice come from the other line.

"Elena you weren't supposed to find out like this, I'm so sorry." Damon was obviously upset.

"It's that girl isn't it? The one you all talk about." I could hear in her voice that she was crying.

"I'm going to have to go but we aren't done here, if I call you back will you answer?" Damon asked me.

"Yea." I knew it was time that we finally got everything out there, especially now that Elena knows about me.

I laid my phone down on the table in front of me, I just sat there and stared at it. I felt really bad for Elena right now, here she had just come out of a 2 ½ year coma just to find out her boyfriend, the love of her life was in love with someone else. My heart hurt, knowing that this was my fault, it was my fault that he wasn't around waiting on her to wake up, and I should have never acted upon my feelings for him. I should have kept my foot down and stuck to my own advice.

I didn't know how I always let myself get into these kind of situations. It seemed Klaus may have been right, I have a tendency to make bad decisions. I mean look what happened the day I moved to New Orleans, I slept with the Original Hybrid. What does that say about me? I sighed and hoped now that I've been introduced to my new witch family that things would start looking up from here. Maybe that's where my problem was I was never surrounded by my own people.

So gotta know what you awesome people think... I honestly loved the way Skye put Klaus is his place these last couple chapters, I don't think many do that and he's not use to it...
