An: Thank you all so much for the kind reviews! It truly means a lot. I'm glad you guys are liking the story. Now to answer some questions I received I had to write Bonnie like that because it's only going to help the plot of this story in the future. So without further ado here it is Chapter 2 of We all fall down! Enjoy Lovelies!

WAFD Chapter 2: The Girl that Lives No More.
Bonnie stepped into Ma-Dame annoyed and tired. Her hair was still damp because her new hair dryer decided not to work and a certian original ruined her day before it even began. She walked over to Daniel's office and placed the finished dress designs on his desk before marching out of the man's office and sitting in her own desk. All she wanted was a peaceful work day before she had to return home knowing very well that Kol would be there waiting for her.
"Hey BonBon" Sebestien said making his way to the woman "Are we still on for tonight?"
Bonnie smiled up at her new bestfriend. He was like the male version of Caroline. Sebestien was bubbly, flirtatious and hilarious. The young woman with eyes as green as emeralds looked up at the man.
"Of course Seb! I couldn't turn down a night with you and the girls!" Bonnie replied happily. Not only was she going to spend time with a couple of friends but she also was going to get some hours away from the obnoxious original.
"Great, I'll text you the deets later" Sebestien said excitedly, Bonnie watched the man walk back to his desk before she did some research for what was trending fashion wise. She was actually feeling somewhat relaxed, the young designer forgot about her problems and was strictly focused on her work. Time seemed to escape Bonnie because it was officially her lunch break. Bonnie grabbed her purse and was about to head out until a certain devil walked into the company carrying a rather large bouquet of red roses.
"Bonnie" Kol said with a wicked grin plastered on his face. Everyone in the office stopped what they were doing and looked up to see the handsome man. Bonnie could hear Sebestien and some of her female co-workers mumbling about Kol.
"What are you doing here Kol?" Bonnie said calmly, despite the fact that her voice was calm she was shooting daggers at him with her eyes. Kol chuckled at her attempt to remain peaceful, he was bored and Bonnie was fun to tease.
"I wanted to come and visit my favourite girl at work and ask her to accompany me to lunch" The original replied, the brown haired man walked up to Bonnie and placed the roses into her arms. Feeling brave Kol invaded her personal space and planted a kiss dead smack on her lips.
It was a very ballsy move.
Bonnie was furious, her face grew hot with anger. Kol was one lucky son of a witch because if they weren't in a public place Bonnie would have made his pretty little head explode. She stood completely still in his kiss. Thankfully Kol broke the kiss after a couple of seconds passed by. Bonnie glanced at his smug face and wanted to smack the smirk off of it.
Kol didn't back away from Bonnie his lips hung over hers. If either of them made the slightest move forward their lips would be touching again. Kol replaced his trademark smirk with a smile "So what do you say love?"
"I say Public Displays of Affection is not allowed in my company" A voice said making Bonnie take a couple of steps away from Kol. Bonnie's head shot in the direction the voice was coming from, her emerald eyes met icy blue ones. It was Daniel.
"My apologies mate, and you are?"
"Daniel, Daniel LaFlamme" Daniel's jawline was tense as he looked at Kol. The original noticed this and decided to have some fun in this boring city. Kol walked over to where Daniel was and extended his hand waiting for the man to shake it.
"Well Mr. LaFlamme, I can assure you that me and Bonnie will keep our matters more private"
Daniel's eyes shot over to Bonnie who was steaming. If this were a cartoon her entire body would be red and raging puffs of smoke would be shooting out of her ears. The young witch decided to put an end to Kol's little game.
"And I can assure you that we're not an item. Kol is just a old friend of mine from Mystic Falls he likes to play with people's heads" Bonnie cringed as the word friend came out of her mouth, the correct wording should have been he's an old pain in my ass. Kol suddenly walked over to where Bonnie was and stood beside her. He knew his presence was annoying her and he loved every bit of her annoyance. Daniel just looked at the two before speaking.
"It doesn't matter if you're simply friends or not. Keep the PDA limited please and thank you" Daniel was about to walk away until Kol stopped him.
"Mr. LaFlamme I was actually wondering if you needed any help around here. Are there any positions available?"
Bonnie's jaw nearly hit the floor when the words left Kol's mouth. Daniel turned around to face the handsome man. He squinted his blue eyes at him.
"I'm going to assume you have no schooling in designing"
"You assumed correctly, but I can be of more use to your company than just a designer"
Daniel crossed his arms over his chest "Well I did have to let Jean go and we do need a new mail guy, are you interested?"
"Yes sir" Kol replied with a teasing smile.
"Great you start tomorrow" Daniel said quickly making a victorious smile appear on Kol's face. At this moment Bonnie was truly speechless, Daniel was not the type to hire someone on the spot.
"You don't have to hire him, besides I'm sure that bakery around the corner is hiring"
Daniel put on a smile "It's okay Bonnie, if he's friends with you I'm sure he's just as hard as a worker as you are. Now if you'll excuse me I have some paper work to attend to"
Daniel didn't wait for Bonnie to make a response, instead he spun around on the heel of his foot and walked straight into his office.
Kol looked over at Bonnie "So love, it looks like we're going to be working together now"
"Piss off!" Bonnie spat out harshly before dropping the flowers Kol had given her and storming out of the company. She didn't care if some of her co-workers witnessed her outburst. She just needed to get away from Kol. Kol bent down and picked up the roses before chasing after Bonnie.
"You know sweetheart, I love it when you cuss me out" Kol said walking beside the fuming witch "I always had a thing for pretty little girls with sharp tongues. They keep things interesting"
Bonnie stopped walking and turned to look at Kol "Firstly don't call me sweetheart, and secondly leave me alone I don't like you!"
"Come on Bonnie, surly we can put our past behind us and become mates, yeah?"
"No" Bonnie Deadpanned, the beautiful woman instantly grew annoyed when she heard a chuckle emerge from the brown haired man. Irritated, she pushed past some people to try and gain distance away from Kol. Sadly the distance was short lived because Kol had gently grabbed her upper arm with his right hand and pulled her back to where he was.
"So you want to be more than mates?" Kol asked raising his eyebrow up at the young woman. The vampire's voice was serious but Bonnie could not help but think he was testing her. Everything with him was always a test, challenge or game.
Bonnie flung her hands up in the air in frustration."You're more delusional than I thought you were!"
"What! You said no to the possibility of being mates, you never said anything about being lovers BonBon" Kol responded seeing her frustration build up more and more. Suddenly the roses that were in his hands were consumed in flames. Kol quickly dropped the burning flowers and stomped on them to put the flame out.
The original's eyes were wide and wild. He pushed a hand through his short brown hair and glared at Bonnie who wore a satisfied smirk on her face. Bonnie could hear the low growls that were coming from Kol.
"You wretched witch!" Kol spat out harshly, the man looked down at his red blistered hands that were slowly healing.
Bonnie invaded his personal space and looked at him dead in the eye. "The chances of me and you ever being anything is like those flowers coming back to life. Highly unlikely" Bonnie said making sure to get her message out loud and clear.
Kol ignored her and rubbed his now healed hands together. "You're going to stop burning me" It wasn't a question nor a beg, it was a clear demand.
"And what if I don't?" Bonnie replied raising a perfectly waxed eyebrow up at the man.
Kol's face was serious as he looked down at the green eyed witch "Believe me you won't like it" He responded quickly. His voice was low and dangerous. The two stood in the middle of the sidewalk eyeing each other hard. Bonnie glared into his dark brown eyes she couldn't help but notice how mysterious they were. Ripping away from his gaze she looked down at her watch and realized she only had 20 minutes left for her lunch break.
"Look unlike you I have to eat actual food, so if you'll excuse me" Bonnie said before fixing her purse on her shoulder and walking away from the annoying original. Kol watched her take a couple of steps forward before bringing the moving witch to a stop.
"I like food too" Kol called out waiting for Bonnie to respond. He heard her let out a heavy sigh, the young woman quickly turned around "If you're coming then hurry up, I don't have all day you know" She said her voice was filled with annoyance but she was too tired to argue with the man.
Kol smiled and ran up to Bonnie, the two proceeded to walk to the local cafe.
"So what exactly happened to you anyways? I mean you always were a feisty little thing but ever since you moved here you've been acting... different. Tell me love, What happened to the old Bonnie everyone knows and loves?"
Bonnie didn't meet his eye contact instead she sucked in a large breath, held it and then released it.
"She died, and she's not coming back"
Kol's eyebrows fused together as he looked at the witch. "You seem pretty sure of that"
"I am" Bonnie replied quickly, assuring the man that the Bonnie everyone knew and thought she was lives no more. An uncomfortable silence fell among the two, neither spoke they just continued to make their way to the cafe. Kol decided to kill the silence and continue the conversation.
"Well then" Kol said before clapping his hands together "Rest In Peace Bonnie Bennett!"
A dark humourless chuckle emerged from Bonnie as she walked.
"Yeah" She whispered quietly "Rest in Peace me"
