I wake up with a huge smile on my face. I don't get up immediately, I snuggle further into my pillow and lay there, thinking about everything that has happened. I can't believe my Dad's coming today. I really have missed him, I'm, practically, giddy with the thought of seeing him again.

After a while of just sitting there, I decide to get up and have a shower. I hum 'Diary of Jane' and do a small dance, as the water washes over me.

Once I've finished, I go to my wardrobe and look through my clothes. I growl, in irritation, when I realize that most of my clothes have been replaced by Alice. I told her not to buy me new clothes. Did she listen? Obviously not because everything they wanted they got.

I, finally, decide to wear: ripped black skinny jeans, a R.E.D, black and white, striped t-shirt (that my Mom got for me) and my pair of worn out converse. I look out the window to see that it actually looks sunny, for once, so I decide to put my dark red hoodie in my backpack with some other clothes and toiletries. I'm going to have to buy more things when I get to Mystic Falls.

I look to the time to see it's still, quite, early. I haven't had breakfast yet, so I go downstairs to make some.

When I get to the kitchen, I see that Charlie is sitting at the table, reading a newspaper.

I grab a cup and get a carton of orange juice out of the fridge.

"Have you eaten, yet?" I ask Charlie as I pour myself a glass of juice.

He shakes his head, "No, I figured I'd go to the diner, you don't have to cook all of the time, Bells."

I shake my head in disapproval, "Don't be silly, Ch-Dad. I like cooking, it's not a big deal." Which is true, I really do like cooking, I find it relaxing.

He raises his head from the paper and smiles at me, "Thanks, Bella."

I smiles back and get everything for breakfast while he returns to reading.

I decide to make bacon and cheese omelettes for me and Charlie.

As we eating, the door bell rings, I immediately jump up and, in doing so, I nearly fall over.

"Careful, Bells" Charlie chuckles before he turns his attention back to his food.

I blush in embarrassment and make my way to the door. I take a deep breath, before I open it, expecting to see Nik. I'm shocked to see it's not my Dad at the door but Kol.

Oh my God, he looks so good. Wait, Bella, you can't think that. It's Kol, just Kol. Why does he have to look so hot. Bella, Shut up.

I quickly shake them thoughts out of my head. Nik's my Dad, so that, technically, makes Kol my uncle but I've never viewed him as that for some reason.

He has a grin on his face as he opens his arms, which I quickly dive into to. He engulfs me in his arms and holds him to me tightly. I bury my head in his chest as he rests his on top of mine.

I feel so comfortable in his arms, he's so warm.

He pulls back, eventually, but doesn't let go of me.

"I've missed you, so much, Kol."

His smiles at me, "I've missed you too."

"Did Dad send you?" I ask him, wondering why he's here.

He looks at me confused, "Why would Nik send me? I came here 'cause I haven't seen you in forever and I missed you."

"Oh."

"Why did you think Nik sent me?"

I grin, "He's coming here to get me."

"What do you mean?"

My smile becomes smaller, slightly. "Well, some things have happened, that I don't want to go over right now," I say, knowing he what he was going to ask. "And Dad thinks it would be safer with him that it would be if I'm here or on my own."

"I'll wait until Nik here and I'll go with you two, I'm assuming you're heading to Mystic Falls with him." He says but I can see he wants to know what happened.

"You assume correctly but you don't have to come with us."

He places a hand on his heart and puts a fake hurt look on his face, "Do you not want me to come?" He wipes away pretend tears "I can't believe this." He lets go of me completely and turns away from me.

I laugh and jump on his back, with my legs around his waist. He laughs as well and places his hands under my legs, so I don't jump or fall off of him.

I hear a throat clearing and our laughter stops. Kol turns around and we see Charlie standing in the doorway.

I blush and quickly jump of Kol's back.

Charlie look's at me, "Who's this?"

Kol straightens up and offers his hand out to Charlie, which he shakes. "I'm Kol Mikaelson, Sir. I'm a friend of Bella's."

"I haven't seen you around here before."

I don't say anything knowing that Kol's got this situation handled.

"I'm a friend from Phoenix."

Before Charlie can say anything, I speak. "Dad, why don't you go inside and we can talk about this later?"

He looks at me for a few moments before he nods, "OK but you should know that I own a few guns, so be careful." he warns Kol, gruffly, before he walks inside.

I shake my head, in embarrassment, as Kol laughs.

While Kol laughs, I become serious, thinking about what I'm going to tell Charlie about leaving. Then I come up with an Idea.

"Kol."

"Yeah, Bella."

"I need you to compel Charlie."

He looks at me like I'm crazy. "Why?"

"It'll just be easier this way, he won't ask any questions about me leaving."

He nods along with what I'm saying, "Okay, what do you want me to say to him."

I take a deep breath and comb a hand through my hair as I think.

"Tell him that I'm moving to Mystic Falls for the end of school. I'm going to be staying with friends and say he'll be okay with it because since me and Edward broke up," Kol raises an eyebrow at this but I ignore him and carry on. " he thinks it a good idea. There won't be any reminders and nothing will be holding me back in my schooling? I don't know. You get the jist, though, right?"

He nods, "I know exactly what to say."

I let out a breath,"Thanks for doing this, Kol."

He shakes his head and smiles at me, "Just wait here."

and with that he heads inside.
