Another Chance: As A Human 3

Chapter Twelve: Random Day

I step into the door and I hear a loud crash coming from the living room as Liv comes walking out with a hole burned into her shirt, or into Damon's. I squint my eyes at her. 

"Question number one, are you wearing Damon's shirt?" I ask 

"Yeah, we left in such a hurry that I didn't pack enough shirts and this house is so big, I couldn't find the laundry." She answers 

"That leads me to my next question, what the hell is going on in there?" I look over to the living room where I see something fly across the room 

"Jo is practicing magic again, she wants to be able to protect herself against our lunatic brother." 

As she's answering I go to walk into the living room and see that it's a mess and I watch as I knife flies straight to my face before I duck and it lands in the front door. I come back up and glare at Jo as she apologizes.  

"Look, I don't care if she wants to practice magic or not, take it outside before she kills somebody." I demand on the way to take the knife out the door 

"Yeah, sorry again." She smiles before they go out the french doors 

I just shake my head as I toss the knife onto the table and make my way upstairs. I get into my room and Silas is on the bed looking at his phone but looks up from it and smiles. I take off my shoes and put them away as I let out a sigh. 

"So, is she gone?" He asks, not saying her name 

"Yup, clean house. Kind of like she was never here." I shrug my shoulders, plopping down on the bed 

Silas puts down his phone and grabs my hand, pulling me to him where I place my head on his chest. He places a kiss on my head and smiles against my hair. 

"How do you think Stefan is doing?" I ask looking up at him 

"Really? I'm trying to comfort you and you're asking about your ex-boyfriend?" 

"Sorry." I give him a faint smile "Just thinking about what happened with Qetsiyah. Maybe I was a bit harsh on her." I shrug my shoulders 

"A bit harsh? She tried to have you and our child killed, she's lucky to be alive. How about this, you go see Stefan and see if he's okay. We can talk later." He offers 

"Are you sure?" I ask as he shakes his head yes "Okay! I love you." I say, giving him a quick kiss before I hop off the bed 

"Love you too." He mumbles as I leave the room, shoes in hand

*** 

"Knock, knock." I smile as I walk into the room  

When I walk in Stefan is laying on his bed, reading a book. 'Wuthering Heights' it reads. I've always disliked that book, just another twisted Romeo and Juliet story. I scoff. 

"Really, Stef? A book about forbidden love?" I ask moving further into the room 

"Hello, Katherine. Come to bully me about my favorite book?" He asks, a small smile creeping up his face 

He sets the book down on his nightstand and sits up on the edge of his bed, turning to look at me. I take a seat next to him and say nothing because I don't really know WHAT to say. 

"Why are you here, Katherine? I'm sure Silas is waiting for you." 

"He is, but he can wait. I came to check on my friend, are you okay?" I ask 

There's a moment of silence as sadness crosses his face and I can tell that his answer is not going to be good. I just give him a small smile and grab his hand that's resting against his thigh. 

"Nevermind. We can talk about her another time." I get up off the bed and move toward his bedroom door 

I turn around to see him looking at me. "For what it's worth Stefan, I really am sorry about Qetsiyah. I know you loved her." I say my peace and finally walk away 

I make a small stop in my tracks when I hear Stefan say something as I'm leaving. 

"Love. I love her." 

I frown at his statement and walk down the stairs that lead to his bedroom, and back towards my room when I bump into Damon. 

"Did you just come from Stefan's room?" He asks 

"Um, yeah. I was checking up on him and now I feel kind of bad about exiling Qetsiyah." I shrug my shoulders 

He goes to say something but then quickly closes his mouth and then his eyebrows furrow as if he's thinking about something. 

"What is it, Damon? I can take the truth." 

"It's nothing bad but why don't we all take Stefan out tonight? Get his mind off of her, hm?" He suggests 

"I think that's a great idea but I don't really think me being there would be a good thing. Why don't just you and Elena take him out? Silas and I can stay here with dumb, dumber, and dumbest." I chuckle to myself 

"Sure." He smiles 

I give a smile and nod and move past him and back towards my room. 

"And Katherine?" 

I turn to look at him. "Is Liv wearing my shirt?" He asks 

"Yeah, show her the laundry will you?" I state before turning back and going on my way 

I get back and Silas is nowhere to be seen so I decided to take a shower. Maybe the water will get rid of whatever feeling that's making me feel bad for the way I treated Qetsiyah and go back to my badass self. Ew, I am never calling myself a badass again. I chuckle to myself again. 

I go to open the bathroom door and I can already see the mirror fogged up and I can hear the shower running. Now, why didn't I hear that? I ignore it and just shrug my shoulders as I approach the mirror and wipe off a small part and stare at my face. Of course, I look as beautiful as ever but for some reason, I also look sad so I quickly get rid of it as I place a fake smile on my face. 

"Silas?" 

"Yes, my love?" He peeks his head out from the sliding shower door 

"Can I join?" I ask, batting my eyelashes at him

A smile sprawls across his face and he motions his head for me to come in before closing the door back and continuing to shower. I quickly take my clothes off and walk over to the shower and get in. Silas's back is towards me as I admire him. I smile and bite my lip as he turns around and I'm still looking down. 

"You enjoying the show?" 

"Very." I smile as he moves toward me

He cups my face in his hands and presses his forehead to mine. We stay like that for a few moments before he presses a light feather kiss to my lips. He moves away and gives me a slight smile. 

"Let's get you cleaned up."
