So I've been in New Orleans over a month now. I don't know why I stay. Maybe it's because there is nowhere else to go. A lot of stuff has happened since the whole thing with Klaus and me. First off, Klaus now lives in a new location, and as usual he's having a spat with his siblings. I refuse to get in the middle of his family drama. I found my own apartment. I haven't actually seen Klaus much since the move. I guess I'm still avoiding him. I just don't know what to say to him, and I'm afraid that I might say the wrong thing. So for now I avoid him. I have been spending time with Hailey though. Now I acknowledge her as more than Klaus's one night stand. I guess I was kind of jealous of her. She could have a child when I couldn't, and she could have one with Klaus. I could never give him that.

Anyway Hailey and I were shopping for baby clothes, because it wasn't too much longer until there would be a new Mikaelson. I was excited and envious all at the same time. We looked through an array of pink onesies and little dresses. I could tell that Hailey was enjoying this. I was happy that I finally had a friend. I have always been a loner because I was afraid to get close to anyone since Kol, but now I feel like I should live a little. We shopped for about an hour, and then I dropped her off back at Klaus's place. I wanted to just let her out and leave, but I couldn't let a pregnant women carry all of those bags, especially since I had super vampire strength. So, I helped her inside, and of course Klaus passed by me. Our shoulders brushed each other. I felt sparks go up my arm. I snuck a glance at him thinking he wouldn't be looking, but he was staring intensely at me. It was like my breath was stolen from my lungs. I had to stay focused, so I caught up to Hailey, set the backs down, and left. I was at my car when I heard, "Avoiding me love."

He was leaning against the car with his ever so intoxicating smile. Although he seemed less confident this time like he didn't know where we stood with each other anymore. I'm glad I wasn't alone in thinking this.

I stuttered," I…hhhad somewhere to be."

"You're a terrible liar. You have been avoiding my since I moved out. Why?"

"I don't want to be in the middle of yours and Elijah's squabbling."

Klaus faced turned to slight irritation.

"Are we ever going to address the real issue?"

I feigned ignorance." I don't know what you mean."

"You can't come to terms with the fact that we shared a vibrant moment of passion together. You cannot accept the possibility that I'm the one for you and nor Kol."

Man he nailed me. I stood there in silence, and then he walked away angry and frustrated.

I was going to go back to my apartment, but then I decided that I needed a drink. I walked over to the bar and saw that Camille was working. I didn't hate her, but I knew that Klaus liked her, so she wasn't exactly my friend either. But she was the only one I knew, so I sat in front of her. I didn't want to look like a loser drinking alone, so I figured I could have a conversation with her to not look so lonely. She saw my face and immediately poured me a drink. Did I look that horrible? But I didn't refuse either. Then she sighed and said, "Rough day?"

I replied, "There's not enough alcohol in this town."

She laughed," So it's a really bad day."

"You could say that."

Before she could answer a guy walked up to me. I could tell he was chatting me up with the intent of getting lucky tonight. He was very attractive though. He had perfect blonde hair and blue eyes with a body that words could not describe.

Then he asked," Come here often?"

Really? That was the best he had?

I finished my drink, handed it to Camille for a refill, and replied," Yeah."

"I'm Bradley."

Camille handed me another drink." Nice to meet you Bradley."

"I didn't catch your name."

I finished that drink. "That's because I didn't give it."

A new drink was placed in my hand.

"Well…I…"

"Let's cut to the chase." I finished the next one and whispered,"You want sex and my apartments not far."

And that was the last of their conversation. Bradley practically jumped with joy when we left the bar. I led him up to the apartment. He seemed almost as intoxicated as I should be. I was slightly buzzed, but not enough. Then we started making out. It wasn't passionate or romantic. It was just something to do honestly. He was sloppily drunk. My mind kept drifting to kissing someone else. I wanted so badly to be thinking of kissing Kol, but my thoughts turned to Klaus. I continued to kiss the boy, but it wasn't satisfying me. Then I pushed him away. I couldn't do this. I turned around so the guy wouldn't see me cry. What was wrong with me? Why was I crying? Then I felt like something was wrong. I quickly turned around and saw a stake headed for my heart. Before I had a chance to move I saw an arm protruding from Bradley's chest. The arm was grasping his heart. Then the arm slowly retracted, and he fell down dead. Klaus was there holding the man's heart. I wanted to yell and scream, but I didn't know what to say. He seemed upset, and he said," Were you going to have sex with him?"

I scoffed," Why do you care?"

"Because, Olivia, he was a hunter that wanted you dead."

"Well we didn't do anything…thanks to you."

"I saw you stop before I entered the room."

Then I remembered I was crying so I wiped the tears away. "I knew he was a hunter, so I stopped."

"Don't lie to me!"

I was enraged now. "Or what you'll compel me to tell the truth."

Klaus seemed to take a breath to calm himself." I have never compelled you, and I never will. I want you."

The tears were forming in my eyes again." I don't know what I want."

I could see his eyes water a little, but then he smiled," That's okay love. I've waited this long what's another century."

In that moment I wanted to kiss him. I knew that's what I wanted, but I wasn't thinking rationally. If I kissed him it would undermine everything I just said. I just can't do this. Klaus took the hunter and left without another word. I was glad he left after that because one more word and I would have been putty in his hands. I can only imagine what would happen if we physically touched each other again. I realized it would be so much easier to hate him, but now I can't. Everything he did…he did for me. Some of it was misguided, but it was still done for me. I wonder what would have happened if I met Klaus first. Would I have fallen in love with him first?

I needed sleep, so I crashed on the bed. I was tossing and turning for most of the night, but when I finally did get to sleep I dreamt of Kol and the first time we met. My family was invited to a party by the Mikaelson's. They were a family that had just moved to town. My father kept saying how he should marry me off to one of them. I didn't want to be married at such a young age, but if that's what my father wanted there was nothing I could do to change his mind. My mother wanted whatever my father wanted. So I dressed in my best outfit, and we went. Elijah greeted my parents at the door. He was a complete gentleman as always. He turned to me and said," Your daughter is so beautiful." I blushed because who wouldn't. My father grinned from ear to ear and took Elijah aside to talk about business and probably the possibility of marriage. My mother went off to mingle. I walked around the amazing mansion. It was so big and I became very lost. I found a study, and I looked through the books. There was so many of them. Most I haven't read, but I wanted to so badly. Then someone walked in the room. It was Kol. Wait a minute! Something's wrong the memory feels distorted. It flashes to me outside the mansion that same night about to go home. Kol was there speaking softly to me. I was looking into his eyes. Was he compelling me? Then I woke up gasping for air. What was happening? I never questioned the night before, but something about it now seems false. Was I compelled to forget something? I had to know, and my only option was Klaus.
