Chapter Five: Fire

Wow! Bonnie Bennett! Just by saying her name in my mind... Something deep in me ignite. Something secret and dark that I didn't know myself what it was, light up. She was a variety of colour in my grey existence. Gosh! I missed her. Her green eyes... Her beautiful mind... She was my best friend... We use to talk about anything for hours. We went through so many things together. My mother's death, her grandmother death. But she left me like everyone else... So many times I wanted to reach her... But I thought she left here for a better life with Kol. She deserve the best. But all those years she has been suffering.

I tried to let her go and be social as much as possible so I don't feel that much lonely. It was just a facade. This feeling has been there hunting me. I feel I'm on my own. I am not a warlock, I siphoned magic. It has been a big disappointment for my family, especially y father, Joshua Parker. He's our Coven thought I would be one day, but it's not possible since I can't do magic. So our group vote Liv. They decide to move to Oregon, last year. But I decide to stay, I wasn't feeling welcome anyways, plus they were doing weird sacrificial magic. My cousin Jo didn't want to go over there either. She wanted a normal life, she decide to give me magic. We became really close because of it. She told me about a girl that got abused by her boyfriend couple months ago, but I never thought it will be Bonnie.

From what her friends was telling, she was living the perfect life with this guy, Kol. Probably it was all pretends, so nobody knew what was going on really. Knowing Damon, Elena, Caroline and Stefan, they would have come and kill this guy. I'm shocked that he's still alive.

I couldn't believe when Caroline and Jo invite me to come this morning. I wish time could pass faster. I can't wait to see her...

That morning...

I was trying to talk to them, been civil, but I just wanted to see her. Where is she? I was looking the stairs while I was talking. Maybe, Caroline saw my patience, she'll go see where is Bonnie. Five to ten minutes later, which it's seems forever, she came down. I didn't hear her doing so. I just heard her sweet voice saying Kol...? I turned saw her. She was so beautiful. I couldn't breathe. I wanted to yell I'm Kai! Not him, I'll never hurt you. Her eyes was full of fear and pain. She did one step towards me and fainted.

Quickly, I took her in my arms and put her on the couch. Jo check her vitals, everything seems to be fine. Her vampire friends were disputing if they should give her some blood.

While they were doing so, I couldn't stopped looking at her. She put some make up to hide the bruises. But was still beautiful. Her beauty was within. Jo ask me if there's something I could with magic. While we were discussing, she wake up, and slowly she's ok. I rush to her, took her hand.

I have helped her reach the dining room.

I sit beside her. Caroline created a breakfast buffet, with so many food. There was eggs, bacon, sausages, breakfast potatoes, fruits and smoothies. There was an awkward silence for a while. Then Caroline started to talked about our High School Days to Jo. How she and the girls were in the cheerleader squad? The boys were in football.

"And Kai?" Ask Jo.

"He was an outsider. Talking to everyone but most of the time alone. He was hanging out a lot with Bonnie, since they were neighbours. They were inseparable, I thought he had a crush on her, but no, just friends."

I glance at Bonnie's direction, see she was uncomfortable. I couldn't help myself to blushed. Just want to change subject. "We were just friends, I was dating someone else, I think and her as well. I think she was dating Elena's brother, Jeremy. By the way, how is he?"

"He's good, he's in Virginia Arts School. He suppose to come here, in a month."

"Oh really, that will be good to see him" Bonnie said and smiled.

I couldn't help myself, to feel jealous and disgusted. Baby Gilbert! What does she sees in him. I don't know if I was transparent, but Caroline looked at me with a secret smile, as if she could read my mind, then looked at Jo. I know these two were plotting something.

Let me think about something else. I took all my courage and turned my attention to Bonnie.

"Have you had time to visit your grams house?"

"No we just arrived yesterday, probably during the week I'll do so. There's probably a lot of cleaning that needs to be done..."

"No not at all, Care and I, we cleaned it for you. It's ready"

"When you go, let me know, if you want I can go with you..."

"I don't want to bother you with that..."

"It's not... I'm leaving next door remember."

I felt my phone vibrated on my back pocket. Reach it, and saw it was already 1:30pm. I have an appointment at the Whitmore Women Center, for my internship. Time now is passing fast. Too fast for my liking.

Reluctantly, I say "I have to go to my internship. It was a pleasure ladies like always. I wish I didn't have to go."

After everyone said bye, I got up from my chair, went to the living room, took my back pack in then realized I don't have Bonnie's contact and she didn't have mine. So took a piece of paper and a pen, write it quickly. Got back to the dinner room. "Euh Bonnie...?"

Everyone looked at me, it was awkward. Quickly, I mumbled that this my number to text me hers. She smiled took it like it was a treasure. Her eyes had some light. Once again, she took my breathe away with her smile. I just wanted to take her in my arms, kiss her sweet lips. My loins were on fire. What it's wrong with me? She's been through a lot. I should be there helping her not having naughty thoughts about her. I rushed out to my car. Hoping that when I arrived to Withmore, my desire would have stopped to consumes me.
