Splitting Our Odds Into Evens

Friends Help Each Other

Bonnie woke up the next morning and everything that happened last night felt surreal. From her seeing Kol again, to him killing another witch right in front of her... it was all just too much. And because of everything he did, she found herself on the brink of giving up on him. He looked her dead in the eyes last night, and she couldn't find even the tiniest bit of sympathy or remorse for what he had done. And it hurt her because then she knew... he may never come back.

She took a shower and got ready, making her way downstairs soon after. Hayley and Rebekah were the only two in the house at the moment. As soon as Bonnie walked to the kitchen, Rebekah welcomed her with a glass of bourbon.

Bonnie gently pushed the cup away, "Thanks for the offer, but I'll decline. Alcohol makes you think your problems are gone when in reality, they aren't."

Hayley sighed, "We heard what happened last night."

Bonnie chuckled, "Of course you guys did. The entire town heard what happened last night," she said, then took the cup of bourbon out of Rebekah's hand and poured it into the sink.

Rebekah rolled her eyes, "Seriously? You wasted such a good glass of bourbon."

Bonnie ignored Rebekah's complaint and poured some popcorn into a glass bowl for herself. She then made her way to the living room, Hayley and Rebekah followed behind her. They watched as she plopped herself down onto the couch and kicked her feet on the table, picking up the remote and turning on her favorite show. She threw some popcorn in her mouth and acted as if they weren't in the same room as her.

Hayley crossed her arms. "Bonnie," but Bonnie did not answer her name. Hayley looked at Rebekah for answers, but all the woman did was shrug. She too was confused with Bonnie's irrational, yet silent behavior.

Rebekah waved her hand in Bonnie's face and called for her, "Bonnie." For the second time, she didn't respond and only continued to indulge in her popcorn.

Rebekah scoffed, annoyed with the young witch, so she walked over to the television and plugged it out, which seemed to get Bonnie's attention. The Bennett witch pressed her lips together, trying her best to contain her annoyance. She closed her eyes and sighed, "What was that for?"

"We called you like a thousand times and you didn't answer," Rebekah exclaimed.

Bonnie wasn't even making eye contact with them, which annoyed them even more because they felt like they were talking to a brick wall. "Both of you only called my name once, so...." Bonnie said, still seated on the couch.

Hayley scoffed, "So you heard us?" she questioned, angry at the fact that Bonnie not responding was intentional.

Bonnie rolled her eyes, "You know what? I don't have time for this." She stood up from the couch and took her popcorn with her as she made her way outside, to the garden. "Can you guys stop following me? I'm not your pet."

Rebekah snatched the bowl of popcorn out of Bonnie's hand. "Hey! Give me that back," she exclaimed, her arm reaching out to grab her popcorn, but Rebekah threw it on the ground. Bonnie took in a sharp breath.

Rebekah shrugged, "Now the birds can have it."

"What the hell is wrong with you? We're trying to talk to you like civilized people, but you're being a bitch to us," Hayley said, eyes pinned at the witch in front of her.

Bonnie blinked back and slapped her hands to her side, "Oh, I'm sorry. I had a rough day yesterday and all I wanted to do was relax, but you guys wouldn't let me!"

"Don't you get it, Bonnie? We want to help you!" Hayley said, her brows furrowed.

Bonnie wanted to laugh, "Help me? Well, you're not helping at all."
