The Voodoo Queen( A Klaus Mikaelson love story)

Chapter 30

Imani's POV

I helped Rebecca get ready for the party by getting alcohol, party cups as well as party snacks. People soon started arriving and then the music started playing. I got something to drink until I saw Chris. After I saw him I got excited.

"Hi beautiful" He said

"Hello" I said and I kissed him. I took his hand and I dragged him to Rebekah.

"Becks. This is...." I took a long pause because I didn't know what to call him considering we've been seeing each other for a couple weeks now

He stuck his hand out, "Hi Im her....friend, Chris." He said

"Hello Chris. You're cute." She said while smiling 

"I'm going to finish setting up ok?" She said 

"Ok." I said

"Hey you want something to drink?" He asked me

"Um sure. See if you can find like some juice or water or something." I said to him

"Ok. No alcohol?" He said

"Um no. I just had a big operation and I don't risk anything." I said

"Ok" He said and walked away to go get me something

I was just standing humming along to the song that was playing

"Surprised to see you here." A voice said

"Hello Stefan." I turned around while rolling my eyes 

"When will you guys understand that I wanna be left alone. Especially by you." I said

"Look, I haven't formally apologized so let me do it now. I am deeply sorry Imani for Kidnapping you." 

"And?" I said because he wasn't finished

"Also, Im sorry for hurting you and not giving you food or water." He said 

"I accept your apology but I still don't like you at the moment." I said

"Hey is everything ok over here?" Chris asked

"Yeah everything's fine. Stefan was leaving." I said

Stefan then left

"Who was that?" He asked

"Uhhh ex boyfriend." I said

He chuckled 

"Well, I'm glad to know I don't have any competition." He said while looking me into my eyes.

I grabbed his face and I kissed him.

"You are the sweetest person I have ever met." I said

"But?" He said

I finally decided to talk to him and tell him what's going on with me. And all thats in my head.

"But I don't know if I'm ready to jump into a relationship. Knowing the fact that I just got out of one." I said

He got silent for a long time.

"Please say something." I said

"Look. I really like you. And I know that guy we saw while at the decade dance, you're still in love with him. And until you're ready. And you get over him, I'll be waiting for you." He said

"Please don't do that. You deserve to be with someone who makes you happy. Someone who isn't a total mess." I told him tearing up a bit

"You make me happy. You're a wonderful person. And I hope to someday run into you again. Because I know, you're who I belong with." He said

I just smiled. He gave me a hug and I hugged him back while rubbing his back.

"Thank you." I said to him

"Take care Imani." He said

And he walked away. I felt terrible. Chris was a great guy. And I really liked him. But there was one part he was right about. I am still in love with Klaus. No matter how much I try to get over him. It's really hard to forget your first love. Especially when thats all you knew. I decided to walk outside. I was going to tell Rebekah I was going home. I was no longer in a party mood. I saw Rebekah standing over the steps talking to Elena.

"Leaving so soon?" She said to Elena

"No. Not just yet. I never got a drink." Elena said then she gave her bag to Stefan

She then hung upside on the beer keg and started drinking. Everyone started cheering. Everyone was saying chug over and over again. I saw the look on Rebekahs face. She was furious. She finally got down and turned to Rebekah with a smirk on her face.

"Now I'm ready to go." Elena stated

Then Stefan handed back Elena her purse and they left together.

Rebekah then started to wobble 

"Becks you alright?" She ignored me and walked back into the house

I followed her and she looked in the mirror.

"Becks?" I said sternly

"Im fine darling. Were you going to tell me something?" She asked me

"Yea. Im going to go home." I told her

"So soon?" She asked

"Yea. I ended whatever I had with Chris. He sniffed out the fact that Im not completely over your brother." I told her

"Mmm. Even I could've told you that love." She said

"I-. Well um, im going to go home." I said

"All right love. See you later." She said kind of rushing me off

"Ok" I said and I just went home.

I ended up taking a shower and laying around and watching tv. Then I heard a knock on my door. I opened my door and it was Bonnie.

"Hi Bonnie. Come in." I told her and she did

She sat down on the couch and I sat next to her.

"I wanted us to have a talk." She said

"What's up?" I said

"I wanted to apologize. I feel like I have been using you for the past couple of days. More like couple of weeks. I feel as if I hurt you and ruined our friendship." Bonnie explained

"I'll be honest. There are some things that you have done that no one should ever forgive. But I've decided to forgive you. I realize that its not doing anything for myself by holding grudges. I understand that you did what you had to do in order to protect your friends and family." I said

"So you don't hate me?" She asked

"No Bonnie I don't hate you. Out of Caroline and Elena, you're the person I am the closest with. You're like family. Well you are considering the fact that we share an ancestor?" I said smiling and a bit confused

"Thank you." She said and she gave me a hug. I hugged her back

"Oh I also wanted to ask if you would join me, Elena and Damon." She said

I rolled my eyes at the mention of Elena and Damon.

"Look I know you have your issues with them but I asking you to do this for me. I would really enjoy it if you came?" She said

"Fine where are we going?" I asked her

"We're going to Whitmore college. My grams used to teach there before she died. A professor replaced her and invited me to one of his lectures." She said

"Ok I don't mind." I said

"Ok then great, I'll see you tomorrow at the Salvatore house. Be there at 8 am." She said

"Ok see you then." I told her

A/N: I know this chapter was a bit boring but I had to give you guys this chapter after holding onto it for a long time. There's just been a lot going on and I've also had writers block. Sorry for the long wait but please continue to read. I also hope you understand the meaning of the song choice above.
