Hayden Chase, she's the kind of girl who sees the good in everyone, with an unknown condition the keeps her dependent on medication parents who expect her to be perfect at everything yet ignore her existence she finds a friend in someone who doesn't...
I am kneeled over the toilet in my bathroom coughing up blood, dry heaving, it was becoming over bearing,
I knew that the blood in my heart was becoming too much for my body to handle, finally I had stopped I am leaning on the bowl of the toilet waiting for the pain to stop,
My breathing ragged and shallow,
When I hear a knock on the door, I take a deep breath, flushing the toilet I brush my teeth and walk out of the bathroom answering the door,
I see Klaus,
"Klaus?" I asked
"Hello Hayden, beautiful day, isn't it?" He says
I arched my brow, leaning against the door frame, my arms crossed,
"Yes, sunshine rainbows," I say a bit bitter but it came out like sarcasm
Klaus lets out a laugh
"May I come in?" He asked
"Oh yeah, of course, sorry how rude of me." I say inviting him in,
he walks in with a smile,
"Lovely place, where are your folks?" He asks
"Now what makes you think I have folks?" I ask as I shut the door,
"Well I did ask around, word is your parents are quite the business people, making deals, buying rarities." Klaus says looking at some of the art hanging on the wall,
"If that's what you wanna call it." I say with a smile,
"You didn't answer my question." He says
"They're out of town for a bit, why do you need something from them?" I ask as I tilt my head
he clears his throat,
"No not at all, so you're here all by your lonesome?" He asked
I shrug my shoulders
"I am a big girl I can take care of myself you don't need to worry about me." I say with a smile
He chuckles
"I have no doubt about that." He says
I chuckle,
I do enjoy Klaus's company, I know Stefan told me to be careful, but how could I judge him when he's been so nice to me,
I decide to change the subject,
"I heard you like to paint." I say
He arches his brow,
"Come on I want to show you something." I say with a big smile
Most of my paintings are of birds, because I mostly feel like a caged bird, sure I can fly a little bit, but I'll never be free,
I take him upstairs to my room showing him the paintings

"Did you paint these?" He asked a bit shocked
"Mmm hm." I hum with a smile
"They are incredible, when I paint, I paint my feelings in the picture, every stroke of the brush makes me feel like I'm in control." He says
"I couldn't agree more." I say with a smile
"Why birds?" He asked
I shrugged
"Birds have no boundaries they can go wherever they want, they are so-" You begin
"Free." He finished
"Yeah," You say with a smile
He chuckled
"You certainly have a talent," He says
"Thank you." I say with a smile,
"How about you come over, and I show you my paintings?' He says
"I would like that." I say
I was grateful for Klaus, I am lonely even when my parents are here, they always think of me as property, as image, I have to be perfect no matter what, I never should mention my illness that would bring shame to them and the entire family,
I am to smile and be perfect,
But when I am with Stefan or Klaus and his family I feel like I don't have to be like that, I can be myself,
We walk out of the house and I lock the door,
I am grateful for their friendship, even if I don't survive long enough to watch them grow,
