I opened my eyes and growled, annoyed. The curtains to my room at the compound had been, opened. Even though, I remember closing them the night before. I sighed and got up and shut them, trying to get back under the huge comforter that went with my bed.
It was cold, everywhere in the compound.
Ever since Hayley had gotten further along, her moods seemed to change frequently. Klaus had made this big speech about howeverything should be just right for the mother of his child. No matter the cost or the discomfort of anyone else.Hayley liked to change the temperature of the compound frequently, hot to cold, never in-between. Calendars were, made and passed out to prepare and warn everyone to wear proper attire.
On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Sunday's it was usually 95 and above. Those days the girls wore bikini's since there were multiple pools in the compound. The boys and men were shirtless, and they drunk there blood frozen like slushies.
On Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturday's it was below 43. In those days everyone wore thick coats even vampires. On those days you could see Klaus wearing a scarf. That's why the cold days were my favorite. He did look good in a scarf. The vampires in the compound would mix their blood in with hot chocolate to keep it warm.
The compound had grown exceptionally in numbers. Klaus' and Hayley/mine wolf packs were here too. Davina and I had to use magic to make the compound bigger on the inside. Kol and Finn liked to joke that we could fit the titanic in here and still have room. That's another thing, after that night with the witches Klaus un-daggered/brought-back-to-life his brother's Finn and Kol.
Kol was fun to be around. Finn was a little weird. His brothers Klaus and Elijah seemed to think so too.
The other day they once swore that he was acting like acompletely different person.
We had all moved into the compound (Elijah, Rebekah, Klaus, Hayley, me, Finn, and Kol). Marcel was overjoyed to have us. Cami came to live with us too. She wasn't opposed to vampires at all despite her being human. I think Marcel was happy that Davina had a friend, me. We spent almost all day together every day. We were inseparable. It was like we were sisters. I, of course, spent time with Hayley. Whenever she needed some help or someone to talk to, I was always there. Rebekah was ecstatic when Klaus destroyed the daggers for good. That was two months ago. Things were great. All around the compound, everyone got along. The witches were quiet, and that didn't seem to worry me as much as I thought it wood. I enjoyed not having to deal with them. I wanted to make new memories. Memories that didn't bring me physical pain when I thought of them. One's where I was laughing instead of screaming. I had made plenty, but the more, the merrier.
I felt some weight on my bed. I didn't even turn around already knowing who it was.
"Kol, it is way too early in the morning to mess with me," I growled into my pillow.
Kol tapped on my shoulder, "I am not kidding Kol, you will get yourself bit. And then you can go explain to Klaus why you were in my room when I was only in my nightgown," I mumbled into my pillow.
"Oh, umm... Sorry Luna, please don't tell Klaus. He would kill me," said a voice. I groaned into my pillow. Realizing who it was. It was Jake, Jackson's younger brother. (Zac Efron, will portray Jake Kenner, Jackson's 19-year-old younger brother)
Ever since Jackson introduced me to him, we became friends. Despite Jackson telling me he was a troubled kid, he seemed just fine to me.
(Technically Hayley, was supposed to marry Jackson, and I was supposed to marry Jake) but after a long conversation between Jackson and Hayley, we weren't going to go through with it.
Jake was just so easy to be around. That was until he told me that he has feelings for me.
It was cute sometimes, but at times like this, it was a little annoying. He would stare and act nervous around me. I was flattered by his attraction towards me, but I wasn't interested in him like that. I was his friend, nothing more, nothing less.
Sometimes I just wished that things would go back to the way they used to be. When we would talk, whenever we watched scary movies together, we'd hold hands (always for my sake rather than for his), and things wouldn't be weird between us. When he wouldn't call me beautiful every chance, he got to.
I sighed and turned around to face Jake. He was looking at me and smiling. It always seemed like he made an effort to smile around me.
"What?" I asked, summoning the will to be patient.
He stood up and held his hand out to me. I looked at his hand for a minute and asked,
"Well, what's this about?"
Jake looked down and blushed, which is something he seemed to do a lot around me. Something I never was used to or comfortable with.
"I was ummm... wondering if-if you would go swimming with me today."
I smiled at him, about to let him down easy, but then I realized that I had a cover. I felt bad that I had to think that way, but I wanted to avoid awkward conversations as much as possible. The last thing, I wanted to do was hurt his feelings.
Me, Hayley, Rebekah, Sophie, Cami, and Davina were supposed to go out and have a girl's day out.
I sighed and put my hands on his shoulders, "You know what, Jake, I would love to, but I promised Hayley that we would do this girl's day out thing. I would spend the day with you, but I don't want to tell Hayley no, not after what happened when that chief said no."
Jake looked confused and asked, "What guy?"
I sighed exasperatedly he didn't know. How could he not know?
"You didn't hear about it, Jackson didn't tell you."
Jake shook his head again, looking as confused and bashful as ever.
"It was about a week ago. You know how my sister loves pastries, especially strawberry flavored."
Jake nodded patiently, waiting for me to continue. "Well, her favorite type of pastry is strawberry. The chief had said that they were out and said they wouldn't be getting any more strawberry-flavored pastries for two weeks due to delivery complications and transactions. When the chief said that there would be no strawberry pastries for two weeks due to dues. Hayley flipped out. The chief disappeared along with the pastries he was carrying with him that day."
Jake laughed his hands at his sides, a flabbergasted expression on his face.
I looked at him laughing as well, "It's a true story, I swear on my life."
Jake smiled and hugged me.
I froze, not expecting it he usually didn't just do things like this. He was warm, and he smelled good, like pine. I wanted to hug him longer, but I didn't want to give him the wrong impression. Or the wrong idea. I personally always enjoyed hugs. It was a way to show that you loved, trusted, and cared for someone.
I pulled away first and kissed him on the cheek meaning, it as a friendly gesture, though he didn't see it that way. I gently shoved him out the door. I sighed and turned to one of my closets ( I had three, just like Klaus promised). I opened the first one, trying to figure out what I was going to wear.
