046. THE ACHE IN YOUR HEART

Chapter forty six

"The ache in your heart."

The next day was the start of senior year, as Beatrix ran down stairs, she was wearing a dress as she headed into the kitchen, she sat at the dining room table and as she did, she began eating breakfast, as her grandmother and mother watched her instead of sitting with her "if you're gonna keep almost dying we're gonna have to go shopping again soon." her grandmother shared.

As Beatrix huffed, having ate all of her breakfast, she grabbed her orange juice and chugged it "what happened last night wasn't planned. But as you can see I'm still alive." she shared, standing up "and am going into my senior year of high school." she shared, as she began walking to the front door, she grabbed her bag off the staircase, and walked to the front door, opening it, a smirking Stefan was on the other side as she stumbled back "come on! It's time to go to school! Senior year!" Stefan faked excitement, as Beatrix turned looking to her mother and grandmother who were watching them, being able to tell that Stefan flipped his switch.

"Ha! I'm kidding! I've been to high school a dozen times I don't care. Let's go." Stefan told her, reaching his arm out and grabbing Beatrix's as he dragged her out of the house, Beatrix slammed the door shut behind her "should we be worried?" Cassandra asked as she turned to Winifred, Winifred raised her brows "Beatrix is adjusting to having a soul again, and Stefan basically doesn't have one, we'll see how it goes." she shared, turning and walking to the dining room, Cassandra followed her.

At school, Beatrix was still being dragged by Stefan through the hallway, where any guy who looked in their direction got stared at "you know, I don't need a guard dog." Beatrix told him "well, judging from your track record with men, is all supernatural creatures, I'm just looking out to make sure you and the new hybrid Tyler end up not making out with each other." Stefan shared "ew. He's Caroline's boyfriend and two he almost had me killed but right you don't care..." Beatrix shared, as Stefan spun her toward's him, Beatrix looked at him with wide eyes, as Elena walked up behind them "hello, Elena." Stefan told her, not breaking eye contact with Beatrix.

Elena walked up to them "what are you doing here?" she asked him "what do you mean? I'm going back to school. Go timberwolves." Stefan shared, as Beatrix shook her head "faking excitement once again." she told him "what? Why?" Elena asked "Klaus wants me to keep an eye on you two. I'm just doing what I'm told." Stefan shared "we're gonna be late for class." Elena told him, grabbing Beatrix's arm and pulling her away from Stefan, but as she did, Stefan grabbed Beatrix's other arm "ow!" she voiced, as Elena turned to her with wide eyes "uh, class is this way." Stefan told them, pointing behind them.

"Let go of her, Stefan." Elena told him, as Stefan pulled Beatrix toward's him as Elena let go of her "Elena, do you think I wanna be a senior for the hundredth time? No. But if I don't have a choice in the matter, and neither do you." Stefan shared, holding Beatrix close to him "I said let go of her." Elena told him, as Alaric walked up "let her go." he told him, as Stefan let go of Beatrix, he stepped towards Alaric and slammed him into the locker "Stefan, stop it." Elena told him, as Beatrix shook her head "just leave him be, both of you." she told them.

"She's right, you're not gonna wanna get in my way. You hear me?" Stefan asked, as he turned to Beatrix, putting his hands on her shoulders "we will see you both in history." he shared, turning and walking them down the hallway away from Elena and Alaric.

Having been dragged to history, Beatrix furrowed her brows "what are you gonna do sit next to me?" she asked him "well, I do have to watch over Elena, so I think sitting next to her and having a view of you, is perfect." Stefan shared "and what happens if there's a fire alarm or if the bell rings and I run out and you can't catch me? Hmm? What are you gonna do then?" Beatrix asked him, as Stefan shoved her into her seat "you ask a lot of questions." he told her, as Beatrix looked to the board as Alaric wrote American history on it "your in my seat." Stefan told someone, and as they stood up, they went to sit by Beatrix "not her either." Stefan said, pointing behind him, the guy walked to sit there.
