New Friends
Chapter 5
Wednesday
The Scooby gang is standing around the court yard when Matt pulls up. He sees them they see him. Caroline figurers this is a good time for Tyler to talk to Matt.
"Ty go talk to him" Caroline says as she nudges Tyler in the side.
"What am I suppose to say to Care?"
"I don't know he's your best friend think of something. Invite him to hang out with you and Stefan this weekend"
Tyler turns to Stefan "we're hanging out this weekend?"
Stefan in a surprise voice "I guess we are now"
As Tyler walks towards Matt's pick up truck Matt hops out. To Tyler's surprise he is dressed in kaki shorts and a white t shirt. Not normal attire for Matt at school.
"Hey man what's up?"
"Nothing much" Matt then turns and walks up to the black SUV that just pulled up. Tyler and the gang stood shocked at what they saw. Matt opens the door for Rebekah he takes her books and throws them back in the car. He looks over the hood of the car to Kol "Hey don't wait up I'll have her home at a reasonable time…..maybe" He walks around Tyler hand in hand with Rebekah and opens the door for her. Matt passes Tyler again to get into the drivers seat. Before closing the door he looks at Tyler and says" See ya around" Tyler just nods his head. Once in the car Matt gives Rebekah a kiss.
Rebekah smiles "what's going on?"
"I just want to do something special for you. Today I want you and me to become an us"
" Or a we" Rebekah jokes.
"Yeah or a we" Matt laughs. "I want to learn everything about you the good the bad and the ugly"
"The ugly!"
Matt clears his throat "Everything I want to learn everything there is to know about you"
"Everything?!"
"But first I want to take you somewhere"
"Ok lets go" Matt starts the car and pulls out of the parking space. Matt honks at Kol and Rebekah waves.
"What am I suppose to do?" Kol asked irritated
"You'll figure something out" Rebekah yells.
Kol slams the door and pulls out his cell to send Bonnie a text.
Bekah and Matt just ditched me! Hope you are having more fun then I am.
He contemplates skipping maybe following Bonnie and her father around when he gets a replay .
Having a blast dad made my favorite breakfast then we are going shopping and to the movies. You are a big boy you can make it on your own.
Kol thought about it then text back
You're right plus someone has to be the responsible one
Kol send the text then heads toward the double doors when he hears the four arguing about what just happened. He smiles to himself I think I'll make some new friends today he thought.
Tyler walks back to the three standing in the court yard
"Did that really just happen?" Tyler asks shocked. He can't believe Matt just blew him off.
"Well some one had really lowered their standards" Caroline replies with an attitude.
"Hey what's wrong with Rebekah?" Stefan asked
"Where to start?" replies Caroline
"I'm sorry are you actually defending her?" Elena asks with a disgusted face and her hands on her hips. At this moment Stefan could swear Katherine was standing in front of him.
"No what I meant was" Stefan didn't get the chance to explain his self Elena put her hand in his face "whatever!" she walks away with Caroline hot on her tail.
Tyler and Stefan are left behind staring at each other.
"So what do you want to do this weekend?"
"Anything as long as it doesn't involve women" Stefan says right before the final bell rings. "and now where late."
Mystic Fall (the actually falls)
Rebekah had lived in Mystic Falls centuries ago but had never actually seen the water falls. She was speechless she had been everywhere and seen everything.
"Who would have thought such beauty could be found in the middle of such a small cruddy town" Rebekah says taking pictures with her phone.
"Hey cool it on my town" Matt says while spreading a blanket out for them to sit on. "come sit with me I want to ask some questions" Matt pats the place right next to him.
"Should I be nervous?" Rebekah gives him a shy smile takes his picture then sits next to him and rest her head on his shoulder.
"Not at all"
"Okay shoot"
"Bekah what is it that you want out life?"
"You know that's a bad question for a vamp?"
"How so?"
"When you ask someone what they want out of life you are insinuating that at some point they are going to die or they will become to old to fulfill a certain dream or goal. I will live forever I have forever to do anything and everything." Rebekah looks down at her hands that are interlocked with Matt's"
"Why don't you sound happy about that?"
"I'm a bloody vampire!"
"I thought that being a vampire, being young and beautiful for ever was the new thing" Matt laughs "I been thinking about giving it ago myself" Matt laugh louder.
Rebekah gets on her knees right in front of Matt and grabs his face to look him directly in the eyes "DON'T EVER SAY THAT!" Rebekah voice is cold and hard but at the same time full of sincerity and longing.
"Say what that I want to be a vamp?"
"Yes that don't ever say that!"
Matt studies her face she looks as if she wants to cry. He pulls her into a hug. Rebekah pulls away and sits back down next to him.
"Before we were turned I was in love. He was everything I wanted in a husband. He was brave, wise, respectable, strong, and caring. In a time when women had no say he treated me as his equal. He taught me how to hunt how to fight he taught me how to survive incase something ever happened to him I would be able to take care of our family. He made me strong and tough he made me better. All I wanted was to become his wife and bare him many children. But of course mother had other plans." Rebekah stands and walks to the cliff.
"Whatever happened to him?" Rebekah just shakes her head, Matt doesn't push the subject. "So what do you want now, you have forever what do you plan to do with it?" Rebekah turns around with a smile on her face.
"If I tell you, you promise not to laugh or tell anyone?"
"I promise" Rebekah sits back down but doesn't make eye contact.
"I WANT MORE THEN ANYTHING TO BE HUMAN. I want a cold like the common cold. I want a small intimate wedding. I want my father to walk me down the isle. I want to know what it feels like for another person to pledge themselves to you. I want to make love to someone that loves me as much as I love them. I want to experience child birth. I want hold my husband's hand during my first ultra sound and cry when we hear the heart beat of someone we made out of pure love. I want to crave pickles and ice cream. I want to throw my daughter the most amazing sweet sixteen party ever. I want to stay up all night pacing the floor when she goes out on her first date. I want to hold her and tell her she can do so much better after her first brake up. I want to be there on her wedding day. I want to be there when she gives birth and hold my grandchild. And then I want to grow old and gray with my husband and die" Matt notices Rebekah is lost in thought.
"Well what if's a boy?" Rebekah turns to him and smiles with tears in her eyes. "Then I want to be there when he makes the game winning touchdown, I want to tie his tie on prom night and his wedding. I want tell him it's okay to be a mama's boy, girls actually like that. But I can't have any of those things. I have forever to do what I want and everything I want I can't have. Being a vamp gets old fast."
"I'm sorry Bekah I bet you would make a great mother"
"You don't have to say things you don't mean to make me feel better"
"Oh but I do mean it. I know a lot about having a crappy mom. You would make the type of mom I've always wanted." Matt wraps the blanket around her "lets go get some lunch."
"What one for the road" Matt and Rebekah stand with their backs to the cliff and she snaps a picture. Then Matt takes her phone and plants a loving kiss on her lips and takes a picture.
Mean While (Robert E Lee)
Kol struts over to a table divided. The girls on one side engaged in some worthless conversation the boy on the other side just staring.
"Hello all" silence " Well I see you're all in a mood I will take my leave now." Kol turns to walk away. When Elena speaks up.
"Wait don't go!" Kol smiles to himself. Then turns around.
"Can I ask you something?" Kol takes the seat between Tyler and Caroline.
"Go ahead" There is a short pause before Elena speaks again.
"Why Bonnie?" Kol cocks his head to the side and arches an eyebrow.
"I have to apologize I don't quite understand the question?"
"Out of all the girls in town why Bonnie. She a good girl she can be a bit judgmental at times but her heart is always in the right place. She's loyal and loving. She strong and stubborn. She just doesn't seem like she would be your type" Kol gives the most devilish smile.
"I believe you just answered your own question. Bonnie stands out she stands ahead of every other girl in this town because she is all those things and so much more. Most women in this town are like the two of you." Caroline a little upset asks.
"What is that suppose to mean?!"
"Well they are" before he could answer Tyler cuts in.
"They are caring blondes with great smiles and sparkling blue eyes but at the same time they see every female as completion. They have a tendency to be a bit shallow but mask it pretty well. They are the head cheer leader and prom queen. Every teenage boys dream. But like all shiny things with time the glow fades the outside will show so when the beauty fades there is nothing left. " Tyler is staring at Caroline the whole time. Everyone at the table is shocked, well everyone but Kol and Caroline.
"Couldn't have said it better myself mate"
"Is that really how you feel about me Ty. Do you really think there is nothing more to me then looks? After everything you and I have been through is that how you really feel? Huh! Speak up." Tyler doesn't say anything. He feels a little off he loves Caroline and truly appreciates her, but comparing her to Bonnie, the Bonnie Kol is talking about she just doesn't hold a candle.
"Or' Kol was attempting to move on but again is interrupted this time by Stefan.
"They are charming brunettes with big doe eyes that easily get what they want even if it hurts others. Their beauty is different it's more natural. They are quick and witty but at the same time under that Audrey Hepburn class they are mean and selfish. But pathetic men still fall for them over and over again." Elena says nothing just gets up from the table and walks away with Caroline on her heels.
"Well that was much more fun then I thought it would be." Kol says with a giggle. He can see it in their eyes they are starting to see Bonnie in a different light. No one notices the big black crow sitting in the tree next to them. But Damon heard and saw everything. He to is reevaluating the way he looks at the judgy little witch.
Mystic Grill
Mystic grill was completely empty.
"Where is everyone?" Rebekah asked confused.
"I talked to some people and promised to pick up some extra shifts so that we could have this time alone." the grill wasn't just empty the tables where gone to. Just then the kitchen door opens and out comes the bartender with a table. It has a black table cloth on it along with two tall black candles and a vase with a single white rose. Behind him is one of the waitress with two chairs. Matt pulls out the chair for Rebekah then takes his seat. Rebekah has the biggest smile on her face.
"So I hope you like greasy food and milkshakes" Matt gives her a cheesy grin.
"I love greasy food and milkshakes" Not five minutes later they have their food and drinks. They talk about everything and nothing and both are having a really good time. When Matt mentions his sister. Rebekah is taken back she had no ideal he even had a sister. Matt notices her shock.
"Well I wanted it to be a surprise but I will take you to see her when where done" An hour later they are done back in Matt's truck headed to see his sister Vicki. Rebekah's actually a little nervous. Random thoughts start going through her head. What if she doesn't like me. What if she thinks I'm not good enough for Matt. What if I'm not good enough for Matt. Am I just holding him back, I can't give him any of the things a human female can. She is so lost in her thoughts of negativity she doesn't realized they have stopped at Mystic Falls Cemetery. Matt opens the door for her to step out.
"Why in the world are we here?"
"Well this is one of the places I go when I want to talk to my sister." Rebekah now realizes his sister has passed. She can see how Matt's demeanor has changed he's not sad he seems more excited then anything. They walk a while till they come to a simple headstone that says :Victoria M Donovan Here lays a loving caring daughter sister and friend forever loved forever in remembered forever in our hearts. They don't speak they just stand and look for a few minutes before Rebekah speaks up.
"I am honored that you brought me here."
"Well my sister always has a little say in the girls I date"
"Really what would she say about me?"
"She likes you, your loyalty. Your fashion my be a little to posh for her but she approves" as they are walking back to Matt's truck she realizes Matt speaks about his sister in the present tense like she still here. She wants to ask him about it but decides against it. Some things are better left alone.
Robert E Lee (2:10)
School is out and so is the verdict on how Elena and Caroline will be getting home. They refuse to ride in the cars with their so called boyfriends. Kol finds this to be very funny. He sits atop his hood watching. Tyler is trying to coax Caroline in the car into his car she is having none of that. Stefan is just sitting in his. Out of no where Damon shows up trying to play the white knight when really he's just the devil in disguise. Caroline and Elena hop in his car without a glancing at their guys. Kol breaks out in laughter when his phone goes off it's a text message from Bonnie. Hey just wanted to know if you made it through the school day okay? Kol text back. yes it was very interesting I learned something new. Kol jumps off his hood and get in his SUV when his phone goes off again. Good for you that's what school is for so what did you learn? Kol was happy he was hoping she would ask. I learned that I am the luckiest guy in Mystic Falls maybe even the world!. He gets a reply right away. REALLY?! Why. He pulls out of the parking lot and answers at the same time. Because I have you in my life. The reply comes even faster this time. You big softy! I guess that makes me the luckiest girl then right! Kol is no longer paying any attention to the road he's much too interested in texting. Oh of course. I thought you knew already. Bonnie is in line at the snack bar ordering popcorn and slurpees when she gets his reply. it's makes her smile. You have such a big ego but I love it! Okay gotta go the movie is going to start. Kol is pulling up to his home when he gets the last text. He hops up to the door and goes straight to his room. Klaus notices Kol cheery mood and wants to know what has him glowing like a pregnant women. When he walks into Kol's room with out knocking the site he sees makes him think of something a teenage girl would do after the captain of the football team asks her to prom. He's jumping up and down on his bed smiling like a little boy after seeing a naked women for the first time and he staring at his cell. Before Klaus can ask him anything he turns to him and says.
"'She loves my ego. Can you believe that there is a women strong enough on this planet to put up with me and my ego!" Klaus just walks away. He has no interest in childish things like getting the approval of some girl. Elijah hears everything from his room and smiles. He knows Kol much better then Klaus does this is a very big deal. And Kol should be happy.
The Donovan Resident
Matt walks into his home then turns around and stares at Rebekah.
"Rebekah please come in"
"Thank you very much" Rebekah walks in a little taken back. She would have never guessed that Matt would be willing to invite her in. she smiles to her self he must really trust me.
"So this is my humble home. It's not much but it's mine and that means something to me." Rebekah looks around this is the type of home she's always wanted. It's down-to-earth and homey, she has always lived with Klaus he prefers everything to be luxurious and fancy. Most of the time living in a mansion you feel alone even if it's full of people. You feel so far away. Matt's home is perfect a great place to raise a family.
"I love it." Rebekah says as she sits down on the couch.
"I'm glad, so for dinner I was thinking I would cook for you"
Rebekah doesn't know what to say. No man has every cooked for her just because he wanted to. "I would adore that"
They head to kitchen where Matt starts pulling things out of the refrigerator and cabinets. "You may not know this but I am quite the cook. To be honest with you that is kinda what I want to do. To be a chef would be a dream come true for me."
"Really a chef"
"Hey don't sound so surprised just because I'm a superstar athlete" Matt flexes his muscles, Rebekah laughs. "Doesn't mean that's all I am."
"Sorry I didn't mean that way. Do others know of your love of cooking?"
"Just Bonnie. We cook for each other share recipes"
They talk and laugh Matt tells stories of his childhood. She learns his parents have been very absent and him a Vicki have had to depend on each other mostly. Once he lost Vicki he turned all his attention to getting out of mystic falls. Later he learned that vampires where the reason for losing his sister. He blames his fear of vampires as the reason for his split with Caroline when it really it was her new found love for his best friend. Rebekah's heart went out to him. She knows the feeling. Soon dinner is ready he made a garden salad garlic bread and old fashion spaghetti.
"Mmmmmmm this is divine. You know you could put Klaus to shame with this."
"Wait Klaus cooks, the big bad hybrid cooks?"
"Yes he cooks and quite well to"
"I guess I shouldn't let his actions define him."
When dinner is over they go into the living room where Matt brings out New York style cheese cake with cherries. He may have heard it through the grapevine that it's Rebekah's favorite. Rebekah had learned a lot about Matt but one thing was still unclear.
"Matt what is it that you want out of life?" He didn't even have to stop and think he knew what he wanted.
"I want to be the best me I can be. I want to be a strong husband and father. Who can provide for his family. I want good friends and a long life. I know staying in Mystic falls I can't have any of those things it's just hard to leave what you know behind"
"Well I guess we'll just have to get you out of here. You are going to start applying to colleges. Starting with Brown. That's where we are all going." Rebekah kisses Matt's cheek and goes for seconds on the cheese cake. Once they are done eating they cuddle up on the coach and watch B movies on netflex. They fall asleep this way. Matt wakes up around 10:00pm he looks at Rebekah sleeping like a baby and decides he could get use to this. He pulls the blanket up over her even though she doesn't need it and turns off the TV. He quickly slips back into a comfortable slumber.
The Original Mansion (Kol's bedroom)
It's almost 11:00 so Kol thinks it is the perfect time to call Bonnie.
"I was just about to call you"
"We I guess great minds think alike"
"No great minds think for themselves." She corrected him.
"So true. So how was your day with your dad?"
"It was really fun"
"That's it was really fun?"
"Okay honestly it was wonderful. I felt like a little girl again. Dads have a way of doing that." Bonnie went on and on about all the things they did all the things they talked about. Even though Kol couldn't see her he knew she was smiling. She was so happy and he thought to himself that she deserves to be this happy all the time. It was almost two in the morning when they were saying their good byes.
"Oh Kol I have something for you"
"Really what?"
"I can't give it to you until tomorrow."
"Or I could come get it now"
"No tomorrow"
"But now I'm going to be up all night thinking of what it could be!"
"It's not like you really need to sleep."
"I suppose you're right. Night love"
