Percy's POV
"So are you going to explain why things are so awkward in this house?" I asked walking over to the bench where Lexi was sitting looking at the stars.
"What you mean?" Lexi asked not looking at me.
"I mean why you are back here in Mystica Falls." I said sitting down.
"I came back with Stefan."
"Where is Lee?" I asked.
"He's done." Lexi replied immotionless.
"What?" I asked looking Lexi.
"He died, I."
"How? When? " I asked slowly.
"Doesn't matter I the point is that I am trying not to think about it okay."
"Who is Kol?" I asked after a few minutes of silence.
"What?" Lexi asked looking at me.
"Damien said you were with someone named Kol." I explained to meeting her gaze.
"You talked to Damien about me?"
"Well you haven't exactly been acting like you lately and wanted to know why." I said looking at her.
"Can I show you something?" Lexi asked reaching into her pocket.
"Sure." I replied a little confused. Lexi pulled a little blue box from her jacket pocket and held it out to me.
"What is it?" I asked taking it.
"Open it." Lexi said. I opened the box and sucked in the breath. There in the middle on the box and a silver ring with two Red stones in it.
"Where did you get this?" I asked handing it back to Lexi.
"From Lee, we were going to get married." Lexi explained looking at the ring.
"Really, where?"
"We hadn't figured it out yet; and only been engaged for two weeks when…" Lexi trailed off.
"Always knew you two would end up together and get married." I said slowly.
"Well when you meet the person you want to be with for the rest of your life with things have a way of working themselves out." Lexi said talking more to herself then to me.
"Im sorry, Lexi." I said.
"I know you are everyone is; Kol is a Michelson."
"As in the Michelson family?"
"Yes them." Lexi said.
"And what is the nature of your relationship with Kol Michelson." I asked slowly scared of the answer.
"Nature of my relationship? What are we 16 year olds?" Lexi asked laughing.
"Haha I didn't know how else to ask if your hooking up with Kol as people say today." I said.
"Wow hooking up interesting lingo you got there." Lexi laughed again.
"Would you just answer the question, Lexi?" I said in a tired voice.
"Kol is my friend." Lexi said.
"Oh well you don't usually kiss your friend, Lexi."
"Damien told you that too?" Lexi asked looking at the grass.
"Yes he did; he is worried about you." I said.
"I doubt that Damien doesn't worry about anyone… he has another reason for caring but I don't know what or why." Lexi replied still looking at the grass.
"He see's you as one of his closest friends, Lexi." I said after a few minutes.
"He does?" Lexi said looking at me.
"Yes he does, he says he owes you a lot." I said.
"He said that…"
"He did; he says you were there for Stefan when he wasn't and that he will never be able to repay you for that."
"Looks like there is actually a caring person in there somewhere." Lexi muttered to herself.
"Well whatever you're up to just be careful."
"I'm always careful." Lexi said.
"Im going inside I'll see you later." I said getting up.
"See you later." Lexi said put putting the small box which she still had in her hand back in her pocket.
"Does anyone else know?" I asked.
"No and they not going to." Lexi said.
"Is it a secret?" I asked.
"It's private; if you tell anyone I'll kill you." Lexi said smiling at me.
"I won't tell anyone; it's not mine to tell anyway." I said giving Lexi a smile before walking into the house.
…
"What did she say?" Damon asked as soon as I came into the living room.
"We just talked Damon; she isn't planning on running away with Kol or something stupid like that if that's what you mean," I said taking a seat next to Stefan.
"We just worried, Percy." Stefan said looking at me.
"Lexi is one of the strongest people I know and when she needs someone she'll tell you; if you keep pushing her and attempts to control her will end badly." I explained.
"We just don't want her to feel alone with Lee gone and spending time with Kol." Elena started.
"Her friends are there for her." I said looking at Elena.
I took at deep breath and looked around the room. Bonnie Bennett, who he only met a few hours ago, was sitting next to Jeremy Gilbert who had his arm tightly around her.
"So we just ignore the fact that she is well sorta dating Kol." Damon asked.
"Yes and no." I and Stefan said at the same time. They looked at each other before I yelled jinx and we both laughed.
"What we mean by yes and no is to just keep warning her about Kol but not telling to leave him alone." Stefan explained.
"Lexi will do as she wants so all we can do is stand by her and when she is ready to explain what she is up too; we will help where we can." I said.
"Do you think she'll actually include in this master plan of hers?" Elena asked.
I look down at his hands then up at Elena who was sitting next to Damien on the opposite couch.
"I think when she is ready for help she will ask." I finally replied.
Elena nodded as Damien took her hand in his.
"Hello... where is everyone?" I heard a voice call.
"We are in here Caroline." Bonnie yelled.
A girl with just passed the shoulder length hair walked into the room.
"Where have you been?" Stefan asked getting up and hugging the girl hello.
"I had to go check on my mom." The girl replied looking at me.
"This is an old friend of mine Percy." Stefan said as I got up to shake the girls' hand.
"Nice to meet you Percy im Caroline Forbes." The girl said.
"Nice to meet you too." I replied.
After hugging Elena, Jeremy and Bonnie hello Caroline sat down on the arm of Stefan's chair.
"I'm going to go grab sometime for dinner, anyone want to join?" Bonnie asked standing up pulling Jeremy up with her.
"I'll go with you." Jeremy said.
"Have fun you two." Damon said winking at them as they walked passed.
"Shut up Damon." Jeremy muttered back.
"So how do you two know each other?" Caroline asked looking from Stefan to me.
"We have know each other for a very very long time." I said.
"Percy was one of my first freinds when I became well not the ripper." Stefan said laughing at his choice of works.
"Oh I see so what exactly are you doing in Mystic Falls though?" Caroline asked.
"I came to visit my friends and I brought a present with that might help you guys out." I explained.
"He brought Katherine along." Stefan said.
"As in thee Katherine?" Caroline asked looking at and I nodded.
"How did you manage that?" Caroline asked.
"I persuaded her to join us on a road trip." I replied.
"You kidnapped her." Caroline stated.
"Well yes." I said with a shrug.
"Im going to go check on her." Stefan said getting up and walking out of the room.
"Im going to bed, goodnight guys." Elena said pulling Damon up with her.
"Goodnight." Damon said to us.
"Night guys." Caroline and I said.
…
I was on my way to my room when I saw Lexi still sitting outside and was about to go join when a tall dark hair guy walked over to her and sat down next to her. I was debating if I should try and hear what they are saying or go to sleep. I decided to go with the former option and crept forward just far enough to hear them.
"You didn't reply to my text and I got worried." I heard the guy say to Lexi.
"My phone is in my room." Lexi replied.
"Ohh I see well probably should have thought of that but this way it gives me a reason to come see you."
"Haha you used the text as an excuse didn't you, Kol?" Lexi asked.
So that's Kol… he looks young and obviously likes Lexi…. I think to myself.
"Yes I did… Is that okay?" Kol asked shyly.
"Yes its fine." Lexi said smiling at him.
"Thank goodness." Kol replied smiling at Lexi.
He looks like a love sick puppy…. I think fight the urge to puck.
"Would you like to go for a walk?" Kol asked standing up and holding his hand out to Lexi.
"Sure." Lexi said taking his hand.
"It looks so pretty on you." Kol said looking at the ring on Lexi hand.
"Thank you; you have really good taste in jewelry." Lexi responded.
"I picked one that reminded me of you." Kol said looking at her.
"You know you're ever charming." Lexi said taking her hand from his.
"I hope that's a good thing." Kol said.
"Im not sure yet... makes me wonder how many girls have fallen for it." Lexi said walking toward a huge willow tree.
"I have been around and I know what people like to hear." Kol said falling into step beside her.
"I already figured that out part out Kol, I know that you know how to use people without them noticing it." Lexi said.
"You think you have me figured out?" Kol asked blocking her path.
"Well you are the youngest brother in your family so always felt you have to prove that you're just as good as them… you secretly despise your brother Klaus because you feel cause he is handsome and charming that you'll always be second choice in some cases." Lexi said closing the distance between them in two steps and looking him in the eye as she spoke.
"You are good.., but I don't despise my brother." Kol said turning to walk to the tree.
"You don't seem to like him." Lexi said following him.
"We have an interesting relationship that's all." Kol explained.
"It was kind of obvious." Lexi said.
