Review Responses from Chapter 33
iamsocoolbruh – Thank you so much for reviewing! I appreciate it, so glad you love this story. I love all of my fans! And yes Zendaya would be a good for Maddie, or even Cordelia. I hope that you enjoy this chapter!
Guest – I would honestly love nothing more than to kill off Elena! Thanks so much for reviewing, let me know what you think of this chapter!
HarryPotterGeek7-31 – Yes, it was time for her to come to the realization on Damon's true loyalty. And at first, I was debating it but after reading reviews and going back over past chapters I don't regret having him betray her in that chapter considering his sole purpose is only to protect Elena and not care who else gets hurt. So glad you enjoyed the chapter, don't worry, Melijah is end game! Hope you had an amazing holiday!
Marsh Wolffe – I am so glad that you liked the chapter! I think I am going to time jump, but I was going to do a birthday thing (which is this chapter) and I was leaning towards thanksgiving and Christmas, so I will probably finish out the year and then after I write a Christmas or New Years chapter I'll begin to time jump. I appreciate you reviewing, hope that you enjoy this chapter!
silentmayhem – I agree Elijah's perception of Elena was so annoying on the show! Like she helped try and kill you and your family! Thank you so much for reviewing, I hope that you enjoy this chapter!
animexchick – I can not agree more about Stefan and Damon's annoying Elena obsession, like get it together! Lol Thank you so much for reviewing, let me know what you think about this chapter!
xLoverX – Yes, I am so glad you like Maddie and her independence! I hope that you enjoy this chapter!
Guest – Yes, Damon's betrayal was awful! Thank you so much for reviewing, I hope that you enjoy this chapter!
NicoleR85 – Thank you so much for constantly reviewing, you have been a supporter of this story since the beginning! I can't stand Haley to be honest, after the ball I didn't watch a lot anymore so I'm not sure if she comes in season 3 (I'm kind of in the middle) or season 4. And I really don't know how I feel about giving Klaus a baby with her and I know she and Elijah have some kind of "thing" going on so I'm like ugh with her. Hope you have an amazing Christmas and New Years!
yasminasfeir1 – Elijah is such an idiot, but don't worry he and Maddie are end game! I hope that you had an amazing holiday, thanks for reviewing!
Leah Tatyana Nicole – So glad you enjoyed this chapter! And yes, I agree Maddie did just need a break and step back but don't you worry she and Elijah will be back together! Thanks so much for reviewing, hope you enjoy this chapter!
kineret – Elijah is an idiot but he will get it together! Thank you for always reviewing, I hope you love this chapter!
Bella-swan11 – First I want to thank you so much for taking the time out to review! It really means a lot to me! And yes, you are right it was all Elena's fault. I felt like she could have at least warned Elijah at the ball not to drink the wine or something! He always went out of his way for her and she just sabotaged him, let me stop ranting lol. I still love Klaroline but now that I've been writing, I'm not sure if I'm going to make it happen in this story anymore. I'm only pairing Maddie with Elijah though. I hope that you have a wonderful holiday!
Caldadhiel999 – Thanks so much for reviewing! I hope that you have an amazing holiday. And yes, Elena is definitely the most annoying person on the show, at least for me lol. Enjoy this chapter!
sharonpijl – Hopefully this chapter fixes your heart a bit! Thank you so much for reviewing!
- Thank you so much for reviewing I hope that you enjoy this chapter!
I want to thank you all for reviewing! I also want to say that reading all of your reviews I am happy that I was able to invoke some kind of emotion out of everyone. Whether it was anger, shock, excitement, happiness, anything I am just glad and it means a lot to me as a writer that something I came up with made everyone feel something. Enjoy this chapter! 😊
I just wanted to say, I'm sure most of you know from earlier chapters but I'm not really going episode by episode. So I just skipped over Ric being in jail, I acknowledged it, but I'm not really going into it because now that Maddie has broken away from Damon it has nothing to really do with her. Also, I haven't watched all of the episodes since TVD pissed me off a lot during season 3, so I'm basically around the beginning of "Break on Through" episode but I'm not going to use it in this chapter. I just wanted everyone to have a sense of where I was.
Also, I just want to let you know how much I appreciate the support that you all give to this story.
Before the Sun Sets
CHAPTER 34 ~ Happy Birthday
I DO NOT OWN THE VAMPIRE DIARIES
Janette had gotten up extra early today. She wanted everything to be perfect from the time Maddie woke up to the time she went to bed that night. She had already called the school and told them that after calculus Maddie was free to sign herself out. She wanted her to take the whole day off but she had insisted that she needed to go in and take some tests. It was on this very day, November 18th, eighteen years ago that Janette had went into labor and gave birth to Maddie. Unlike her sister she didn't take forever with her arrival. She was quick and calm. At first Janette thought something was wrong with her since she wasn't hysterically crying.
She couldn't believe that her baby was finally eighteen years old. Time had just flown right by. When she woke up she went to the kitchen and made a cup of coffee before settling in the living room and looking over old family pictures. Her hand traced over the pictures of Maddie's old baby pictures. She looked at her adorable face, her chubby little cheeks and smiled. She even went up to her room and looked at her, Lucy was snuggled at her feet peacefully, before she went back to her own room, ready for the day's events.
Going back into her room she realized it was almost five. There was no point in her getting up, she would just have to get ready soon. She wanted to everything to be perfect when Maddie arrived downstairs.
Lights blinking.
That was the first thing that Maddie became aware of as she opened her eyes. It was still kind of dark outside so she knew that she had woken up earlier than usual. With a small frown forming, she closed her eyes letting her head fall onto her pillow. Needing more air she turned her face slightly, stretching. In a way she knew that there was no point in her trying to go back to sleep because it wasn't happening. She moved her feet around slightly, before moving her head up and looking around. Lucy was no where to be found, which was odd considering she usually slept in her room at night on her bed. With a drawn out sigh, she slowly raised herself up to a sitting position. Eyes scrunching, she reached for her cell phone, squeezing her eyes shut when the bright light was exposed. She immediately adjusted it. Her phone was full of text messages.
Cordelia – It's almost time!
Cordelia – You must be asleep.
Cordelia – HAPPY FUCKING BIRTHDAY TO THE BEST SISTER IN THE ENTIRE WORLD! I LOVE YOU ENDLESSLY, HAVE THE BEST 18TH BIRTHDAY TODAY! 18 VODKA SHOTS FOR YOU.
Maddie couldn't help but chuckle.
Rebekah – Happy Birthday Maddie.
Matt – Happy Birthday!
Adjusting her covers she responded to them all saying thank you. She turned now, so that her back was to her bedroom door and she was facing the window. She frowned upon seeing it, she hadn't left it open but a crack was there. Looking around, nothing seemed to appear different but in a town that is full of supernatural people you just never know. Moving the covers, she slowly walked over to the window, putting one knee on the seat that was there and peeking out. Nothing looked out of the ordinary. She closed the window and locked it, going back over to her bed. When her alarm clock finally went off she dismissed it, getting up and going to shower. Since she was leaving right after math she would try and be on time to class today. Ric, who had been freed from jail (she had heard her dad telling her mom about how he was arrested and it had apparently been a mistake), had announced yesterday that there was going to be a pop quiz of sorts and she actually reviewed, wanting to keep her grades up. Now that she had dropped some of her friends who were in no way, shape or form benefiting her she had decided to focus more on her studies. She had been neglecting them but no more. She was going to strive to do better and keep to herself. For the most part. Besides, track was going well, and the lacrosse season would be here before she knew it. So would her college acceptance letters or denials.
Hurrying to the bathroom Maddie took a shower. It took longer than she had planned because she washed her hair and it was getting longer and longer, almost to her but now. She was ready to cut some of it but at the same time she didn't want to because it would be a pain in the ass to grow back. On the bright side it was thick so that wouldn't be a problem for if she ever needed to do something with it and had cut it. Running back into her room, she quickly dried off, before sitting down and blow drying her hair. The minute she finished, she took her curling iron, which was ready and added some curls to the bottom of her hair. She usually preferred it straight but she decided to go a different route today. She couldn't help but smile at how they looked, it complimented her already long hair. The minute she was done and all of her hair things were put away she went on to apply makeup, doing a smokey eye as best she could before she applied eyeliner to her top lid and then mascara. Satisfied she looked at the clothes she had picked out the night before. They were on their hangers by her closet door.
Because it was getting colder, she had picked out a long sleeve white shirt and a light mocha colored sweater to go over it. She had skinny jeans that stopped a little before her ankle and her black boots that would give her a nice height increase because of the heal. She got herself together quickly, before looking around her room to make sure that everything was in place. Since she was leaving early she would be ditching her backpack and had a crossbody that was big enough to fit her calculator, pens, keys and phone. Double checking that she had everything she headed downstairs, a smile on her face.
She never liked to make a big fuss over her birthday but she was happy. With everything that had happened, was happening and going to happen she wanted to enjoy this day. Her day.
Not being able to help it, she pulled out her phone on her way downstairs, snap chatting the balloons that her mom had tied to the staircase. It was cute. They were a pretty silver color. She was shocked to see them taped against the wall as well, leading into the dining room. Against the wall there was a small chest, usually there were candles on it and a decorated plate was in the middle, but today it had been replaced with gifts. She let her head fall back as she laughed allowed seeing the huge 1 and 8 balloons.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" She jumped slightly before embracing the feeling of her mother's arms. Turning she hugged her back.
"Thank you."
Her mom pulled away, staring at her baby. She stared at her face, thinking about how tiny she was when she was a baby and how big she is now. "My sweet girl is eighteen." Janette said, "Where did the time go?"
Maddie shrugged with a smile, "It goes by fast, doesn't it?"
"Who are you telling?" Janette smiled back. "So, gifts first or do you want breakfast?"
Maddie looked at her mom before grinning, "Are there waffles?"
"Of course!" Janette took her wrist lightly, and Maddie followed her into the kitchen. Her plate of waffles had whipped cream, syrup and strawberries on them already. Before cutting into them she snapped them with the caption "birthday breakfast." Cutting into them, she moaned allowed with the first bite. So fucking good. Janette let her eat in silence, she stood by the stove, drinking her coffee. Seeing the text message light flash, she picked up her phone reading some of the new messages that had come in.
Katy-Kat – HAPPY BIRTHDAY BFF! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, CAN'T WAIT TO GET TURNT TONIGHT.
Chris – Happy Birthday cousin!
Kyle – Happy Birthday Maddie!
"Why are you smiling like that?" Maddie wondered.
"Because I'm happy. Today is your birthday and all I can think about is how proud of you I am."
"Thank you." They had a small chit chat while Maddie finished her breakfast. By the time she finished she had to get going if she was going to attempt to make it to class on time. "I have to go."
"But what about presents?"
"I'll open them later, I have two tests this morning."
Janette nodded in understanding, she looked around and then sighed, "Alright, but do me a favor and grab a jacket. It's cold outside."
Maddie nodded, getting to her feet. She put her plate and sink in the dishwasher and washed it quickly before grabbing her bag and phone. Walking to the coat closet, which was by the door, she opened her bag, looking for her keys, while her other hand went to the door. Opening it up, she looked up from her bag, opening the door wide. "HA!"
Maddie jumped back, her hand immediately going to her chest, "You scared the shit out of me."
"Then I did my job," Cordelia spoke, jumping to hug her sister, "Happy birthday!"
"What are you doing here?" She hadn't been expecting her sister to come. When they had spoken earlier in the week Cordelia had told her she couldn't make it due to the flights and last minute testing.
Cordelia spoke as if it were obvious, "I lied."
"I love you."
She grinned at her Maddie, "I mean how could you not, I'm awesome?" Maddie grinned back, "Alright, come on, I'm taking you to school today."
"Why?"
"Stop being difficult!"
Maddie rolled her eyes, "Fine, but I'm leaving early."
"I know. We're going to go get our nails done and then head to the mall. Maybe even the tattoo parlor," she whispered the last part not wanting her mom to overhear her. "Let's get moving, BYE MOM!"
"Wait," both girls turned to look at their mother, "pictures!"
Due to Cordelia's driving skills, Maddie arrived at school with ten minutes to spare. Wanting to kill some time, she made her way to her locker. She grabbed her Calculus book, thinking that she would review notes in Ric's class. While she had a quiz for him she wasn't worried about passing it.
The minute she closed her locker she was invoked with a hug. She let out a surprised "oh" sound before laughing, "Hello to you too Katy Kat."
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"
She looked around, people walking by had obviously heard but she didn't care. "Thank you."
"Aren't you so excited to be eighteen?"
She shrugged, "In all honesty it feels the same as being seventeen, or sixteen and so on and so on." It was the truth. She hadn't felt any different than she had yesterday or in the past.
"Really?"
"Really."
"Well that sound boring," Maddie laughed, walking along side Katie down the hallway. "So what are your plans for the day?"
"I have a calc test and then Cordelia is coming to get me."
"She's here?" Katie wondered, her eyebrows raised. She had no idea Cordelia was coming home this weekend.
Maddie nodded, "Yeah, I don't know when she's leaving though." Since Thanksgiving was right around the corner the wouldn't be apart for too long. Cordelia would leave either Saturday night or Sunday afternoon and be back the following week. That reminded Maddie that she needed to ask her mom and dad what they were doing. It was looking like they would up going to upstate New York but it wasn't confirmed yet. If they were going, she knew that Cordelia wouldn't be joining them, and neither would she.
"We should totally hangout this weekend."
Maddie nodded in agreement, "Yeah, we should. I don't know what you're doing next week but Cord and I are going black Friday shopping."
"I'm so down," Katie's face lit up like a Christmas tree. "I've been saving some money to get gifts so that would be perfect."
"Alright it's a plan," Maddie said when she got closer to her classroom, "I'll see you later."
"I'll see you tonight." Katy spoke, giving her one last hug. "Happy birthday."
Maddie chuckled, "Thank you."
Walking in, she immediately went to her seat. A groan was ready to come out of her. Elena was back. She hadn't seen her since the ball, which had been great. Even though she had missed the first two days of school the last week due to her concussion, not seeing her the rest of the week and majority of this week had been great. She was sitting next to Caroline. When Maddie met Caroline's eye for a second she immediately looked away. Maddie did too, going to her seat thinking about the last time that she had spoken to her.
Flashback:
"Maddie." Maddie kept walking. "Maddie." She kept going, before her arm was tugged, "MADDIE, WOULD YOU WAIT!"
"What do you want?" Maddie pulled her arm from Caroline's. "And don't touch me! I already have a concussion, I don't need a broken arm as well."
"Why do you have a concussion?"
Maddie glared, "Don't act like you don't know."
Caroline's face went from a frown to a look of regret. Yes, she was well aware of what had happened and Maddie knew it.
"I'm sorry."
"You know, I'm kind of tired of hearing that."
"I mean it."
"I don't care." She told her. "I really don't."
Caroline tried again, "Maddie just let me explain."
"Explain what? How you knew Esther was planning to kill her children and how you helped? Tell me something, is that why you were gone that morning when I slept over your house? Is that where you were? Plotting."
"Maddie it-," she was cut off immediately.
"Answer the question."
"Yes, I knew but-," she was cut off again.
"There are no buts. I am so done with all of you. Whether you knew I was going to be kidnapped by Stefan or not what would you have done?"
"He wasn't going to hurt you and Elena-," she stopped seeing the look on her friends, or ex-friends face.
"Elena, Elena, Elena. Why is that everyone has to get hurt because of her?" Maddie wondered, crossing her hands over her chest. "No matter, I don't care. But make no mistake that there is no friendship between the two of us."
"You don't mean that."
She nodded her head, "Oh yes I do." She felt a small pang in her chest upon seeing the look on Caroline's face but she knew that it was time to do what was best for her. "I can't, you know what I won't put myself around people who are just going to turn their heads and allow me to get kidnapped and make me a sacrificial lamb, or leave me stranded to save someone else. I don't deserve that. I would never do that to one of my so-called friends."
"I'm sorry."
"I know." She said softly. "In a way so am I." And with that she turned walking down the hall. Caroline watched until she was gone.
Getting in her seat, Maddie got a pen from her bag and pulled out her phone. She had some more text messages coming in and she responded her thanks to all of them. She had a missed call as well, she figured from when she was talking to Katie in the hallway. Since it from her uncle John and aunt Shannon she just texted them that she was in class and would call them later, to which they responded that they had just wanted to wish her a happy birthday. She missed them. Not only them but Kyle and Chris. She hoped that they would all be able to get together soon. Maybe a trip to New Hampshire was in order. A trip to get out of Mystic Falls sounded amazing to her in all honesty.
She had been so busy texting people that she hadn't even noticed Matt come at first until he said, "Happy birthday."
She smiled over at him, "Thank you." Although she had cut ties with some people, mainly Damon, she could never see herself cutting off Matt. He was so innocent and always getting stuck in the middle. Besides, he was someone who had always been a good friend to her.
"What time should I be there tonight?"
Her smiled widened, "You're coming?"
He nodded, "Of course. I wouldn't miss it for the world."
"My mom and sister mainly handled everything so I don't know who they spoke to, but I want to say seven. I'll ask Cordelia when she picks me up."
Matt frowned, "Is your car good?"
She nodded. Of course, because of Stefan she had to have some work to done to it, after her dad found it. A toe truck had to come get it because it wouldn't even start but now it was good. "Yeah, my sister is just driving me around today."
"So, I'm guessing you won't be in bio?"
"Sorry bud, after calculus I'm out of here."
He smiled but said nothing, as Ric came into class and the moment he did everyone stopped talking. Because Mystic Falls was so small everyone had heard about his arrest. Although, since it was apparently not his fault they had let him go and he wasn't fired. Ric started class after the pledge and morning announcements. He played a short video before going over some PowerPoint slides and reviewing for their quiz. Moments before he passing out the quizzes, Rebekah walked in. Ric nodded at her and she took a seat on the other side of Maddie.
"Well Maddison, I hear it's your birthday today."
"You know for my present you could call me by the correct name," she gave her a playful smile.
"I guess I have something in common with my siblings. We all love to use your full name."
"It's very annoying."
Rebekah smiled, before continuing, "Well we will surely be calling you that tonight."
"What do you mean?"
"We'll be going to your little get together tonight." She smiled at Maddie before turning to Ric who had announced he was going to pass out the tests. Maddie sat their shell shocked. Not that she cared about them coming but it would definitely be interesting, having Rebekah in her house. She had seen Klaus around once since the ball so she knew he hadn't left town either. Still her main focus was tonight and how they were coming. She didn't know it for sure yet but she had a feeling Cordelia had something to do with this.
Maddie was one of the first to finish Ric's quizzes. When she brought it to him he gave her a little nod to which she nodded back before sitting down. She sat there in silence the rest of the period before leaving for math. She left with Rebekah at her side.
"What time should I be there tonight?"
"Wait, you're coming to my house?"
Rebekah nodded, "Yes. Your sister invited me and Nik being himself decided that he would tag along."
What the hell. "You spoke to my sister?" Not that she really cared but Cordelia hadn't mentioned it to her.
Rebekah smiled, "Don't seem so surprised. Unless you prefer Nik and I not to go."
"You and Klaus are coming to my house?" She asked, shocked.
"I thought you were smart. It seems you're having trouble putting two and two together."
Maddie frowned at her before giving a fake laugh, "Ha ha. I'm just shocked you and Klaus are coming to my house."
"Well, we'll be there."
"Right. Do me a favor and don't kill anyone. I'd like to have a good night."
"We'll try," Rebekah said with a small smile. "Now that time."
"Seven."
"We'll see you then."
"See you," Maddie spoke before going to her classroom. She just wanted to take this test and then get out of there.
"Hey."
Matt smiled at Caroline, "Hey."
"Have you seen Maddie?"
Frowning at her question he shook his head, "No." He knew it was her birthday, he already texted her and spoken to her in their first period class.
"Oh, okay so tonight I have no plans and I am in immediate need for them. Do you want to hang out? I can try and get Bonnie to come, maybe even Elena." Caroline knew that was a far chance though, as did Matt. Bonnie wasn't Elena's biggest fan at the moment, not like anyone could blame her. Because of Elena her mother was now a vampire.
Matt rubbed the back of his neck, "I can't actually."
"Why not?"
"Maddie's mom is throwing her a get together tonight."
Hurt flashed across Caroline's face. It was now obvious to her that she wasn't invited. "Oh."
"Yeah."
Matt wasn't exactly sure what had happened between the two of them but he knew they were no longer on civil terms. The divide was obvious, especially in Ric's class since they were all together. Since Maddie had been kidnapped at Stefan, she hadn't even said one word to Caroline and she tried her best to avoid looking at her.
"Are you really getting a tattoo?" Maddie asked her sister. They had gotten their nails done. Maddie had gone with a midnight blue color and Cordelia had gotten a ruby red color. They had went out of town to one of the nicest malls near them. Maddie had gotten some good deals and she and Cordelia and even gotten their dad some cologne, which they would give to him on Christmas. After having a quick lunch Cordelia drove to a near by tattoo shop.
"It doesn't hurt to look."
Maddie rolled her eyes, following her sister's lead and getting out of the car. "I'm sure you wouldn't be here if you weren't already set on what you wanted."
Cordelia turned her head as she walked up the steps, "You know me so well."
Following her inside, Maddie looked around the place. There was art everywhere. There were two guys in there. Both had sleeves going down their arms. She had to admit that they were pretty hot. The tattoos and the guys. She frowned. Thinking of hot guys made her think about Elijah, but it was over now. He had chosen to leave. She had to accept it and move on.
"See anything you like?" Asked Cordelia, coming up behind Maddie.
"Not really, you?"
"I'll probably get five." Maddie looked her eyes, wide. "Just kidding but I think that I'll eventually get a tramp stamp."
Maddie chuckled, going over and looking at various tattoo pictures that hung on the wall, "I can't deal with you."
One of the guys with sleeve tattoos walked over, "See anything you like?"
Maddie shook her head, "Not yet."
"Anything in particular you want?"
"We wanted matching tattoos," Cordelia said allowed. "Or something cute for sisters."
"Ah, give me a second." The guy walked away and grabbed something from a desk before quickly returning with a small book of pictures. He handed it to Maddie, who instantly found different things she liked going through it. She especially liked the birds coming out of the cage, even though that was something she'd consider later. She smiled at the hummingbird one and considered getting it on her side.
"I like this." Maddie said to her sister, looking over at the arrow tattoos.
Cordelia looked over her sister's shoulder, "Oh, I like that."
"Where would you get it?"
"Either on my wrist or the side of my wrist."
By the time the two of them made it home it was way after three, almost four. By this time Maddie's dad was home from work. He had been outside with Lucy when they pulled up. He gave Maddie a hug and kiss on the forehead wishing her a happy birthday.
"Think you could give us a hand?" Cordelia laughed, opening up the trunk to get some of the bags out.
Christian frowned, "Do I even want to ask how much money was spent?"
"Nope."
Chuckling, Christian grabbed a few bags and followed the girls into the house. He dropped off their bags by the stairs before walking into another room. Maddie and Cordelia put their things in their rooms before going back downstairs.
"Where is mom?" Maddie wondered.
"She had some errands to run."
"I hope that includes Maddie's cake," Cordelia noted. "I can't wait to eat it."
"What kind is it?" Maddie wondered aloud.
"You have to wait for tonight! You were no help in picking out anything so let it all be a surprise."
Maddie rolled her eyes at her sister, "So if I wanted to open up a present I would have to wait on that too?"
It was now Cordelia's turn to roll her eyes, "You have no interest in opening gifts so don't even try it. Now, what are you wearing tonight because my outfit will slay and I'm not changing it."
Christian let out a small gift entering the kitchen, Lucy right on his heels, "You are both too much."
Cordelia smirked, "You love having me home." Christian made a face but ended up smiling. "So, let's get this out of the way before mom get's home, are you guys going to Buffalo for Thanksgiving or not?"
Her dad's relaxed face instantly turned hard. They had their answer. "Unfortunately it seems that we are."
"I'm not going."
"Me either," Maddie added.
Christian rubbed his temples, "Your mother isn't going to like that." It was true. Janette would want them to all be together. Even though she knew Cordelia and Maddie had no interest in going to Buffalo she would want her kids with her.
Cordelia was quick to pipe up, "Who cares? You can't honestly say you blame us for wanting to stay away. Her mother is the most awful person that we have ever met. Why should we ruin a nice day listening to her unnecessary comments?"
"Your mother will still want you both to be there."
"We can be there in spirit," Maddie said, wanting to break some of the obvious tension in the way.
Christian gave her a look, "We'll see what happens."
"Ouch! What the fuck!"
Cordelia had followed Maddie into her room to help her pick out an outfit for tonight. As soon as Maddie closed the door she pinched her sister's arm.
"Why didn't you tell me that you spoke to Rebekah?"
A sly smile came over her face, "Your mad about that?"
"I'm not mad," she said honestly, "but still it would've been nice to know that she was coming tonight."
"Well one of your surprises is ruined."
"How can you talk so causally?" Maddie wondered. "You do realize originals are going to be in our house right?"
"Last time I checked an original has already been in our house," she spoke calmly.
Maddie stared at her, "Right. So you only invited Rebekah and Klaus, original wise?" Cordelia nodded her head. In a way Maddie was disappointed. Yes, she had been the one to tell Elijah that if he left she didn't want him to come back, but a part of her didn't mean it. She had hoped he would text her or something already but that hadn't been the case.
"Relax."
"I still want to know how you even met them."
"Well I got Rebekah's info from Matt, so I called her and Klaus happened to be with her when I talked her about tonight." Cordelia spoke, "I don't know why Caroline isn't interested in him, I mean that damn accent."
