"Rebekah, you're here. So glad!" Klaus yelled out sarcastically. I looked at them both. Elijah came in and hugged the blonde girl. "Sister you finally made it" "I told you I'd come" "Hayley, this is our little sister, Rebekah" Elijah said with a smile. Perhaps you won't be as bored as you used to be with her around the house. "Actually we were talking about me taking Hayley out" Rebekah said. "No offense Rebekah, but I need to make sure Marcel doesn't know I know Hayley" "Oh grow some balls Klaus, he won't dare touch one of my friends. And its not like you know all of my friends" "Klaus punched the table. "It's too suspicious!" "It wont be if you don't attract attention! Just ignore us! I'll come up and say hi and that's it. Marcel doesn't notice every girl in the bar or everyone I hang out with." Klaus looked at me. "What do you think, love?" "I think it's a great idea" and I felt Rebekah's arms around me just as I said it.
I dressed up. I wanted to go out and I didn't care if I didn't even know Rebekah at all. I just had to leave this house.
Klaus left before us. I got downstairs and Rebekah beamed at me. "So, let's go then!" I followed her and we walked arm in arm, Rebekah clearly scared of letting me go in case I fall or something, and soon enough we reached a familiar place. "Sophie's bar" I whispered and Rebekah pushed the door open.
I walked in. Sophie looked up, saw me, looked around at a table in the corner where Marcel and Klaus were sitting, looked back at me and rushed towards us. "What are you doing here!?" she whispered. "Klaus knows don't worry. It'll be fine"
Everything did seem fine. Rebekah greeted them and came back and we hadn't attracted any attention so far. I was talking to Sophie and Rebekah kept on making funny jokes. She talked about Klaus and made fun of him. I couldn't keep myself together, I let out a loud laugh and so did Rebekah. Unfortunately though, that was a grave mistake. Soon enough he was standing over us, by the bar smiling at both of us. Rebekah stopped laughing and looked over at Klaus who seemed on edge but didn't approach us to make sure Marcel didn't connect us. "Marcel, nice to meet you" he offered his hand and I looked at it before I looked up and said my name, shaking his hand slightly. "I haven't seen you around before, Hayley. Your name is beautiful." I looked at Rebekah. She was just as worried. She stood up and came closer to him. "How may we help you Marcel? Is my brother's company not interesting enough?" "It is but it would be much more interesting if you girls joined us" I looked at Klaus. He looked angry. "I'm sorry" I said bravely to Marcel's face "I don't sit with men I just met" Marcel's face lit up. He was intrigued. "Rebekah knows me" "Well I don't" "How can you if you don't give me a chance?" I looked at Rebekah. She started walking towards their table "We might as well Hayley, there must be a first of everything." I just stared at her, shocked and disappointed. But then Klaus stood up too, he walked towards us and looked at me "Well Marcel it seems as though you have found yourself a new friend"
I stood up Marcel put his hand on my arm. I smiled at him and softly said "sorry, Marcel right?" he nodded "I have a boyfriend in another town and I cannot be hanging out with other men with such a commitment." He looked taken aback. "Sure I understand" he muttered "If I feel alone I'll find you, Marcel" I said and he smiled at me. Rebekah though, didn't seem happy about this.
