I saw Kol in my room when I woke up. He was standing next to my bed and reading some magazines.
-' How long have you been here?' -I said sleepily. He turned to me and sat down.
-' Long time.' -He smiled and kissed me softly.
-' Why didn't you wake me up?' -I asked smiling.
-' Because what I'm going to say requires your full attention and you never listen when you're sleepy.' -I looked at him worried. He stoped for a second, then continued. -' I'm leaving.'
-' What? Where?' -I asked loudly.
-' I have some things to do. It can't wait.' -He said seriously.
-' Something that Niklaus asked you to do?'
-' I just wanted to say goodbye.' -He said, not answering on my question.
-' How long will you be gone?'
-' I don't know...One week, few weeks... One month, few months.' -I didn't know what to say. I didn't want him to go, I needed him there with me, but I knew there's no way that I can stop him from doing that, so I didn't insist.
-' Ok.' -I said looking down. -' I guess I can't go with you.'
-' No, you can't.' -I looked at him and nodded. He came closer and kissed my forehead, ready to leave.
-' You're not leaving me, right?' -He slowly turned around facing me.
-' No.' -He said looking at me. I got out of my bed.
-' I love you, Kol.' -I said kissing him, afraid of his answer.
-' I know.' -He said leaving. 'He took it well.' I thought to myself. I went back in my bed, thinking about his words. He can't be away for few months. What did Klaus want anyway? I needed to know everything. I was thankful to Kol because he came to say goodbye, but still upset because he didn't tell me where he was going and why. For a second I thought to go and ask Klaus, but no, thank you, I want to live.
I spent most of the day in my room, just thinking about Kol. What was I supposed to do those months alone? When I started thinking about that, I missed him already. I didn't realize how boring my life really was until that moment. I took my phone and called Stefan.
-' Missed me, my love?' -I joked.
-' It's Elena.' -I heard.
-' Elena, where is Stefan?'
-' He's taking the shower.'
-' Is Damon there?'
-' He is at the Grill.'
-' Ok, bye.' -I hung up. I went to my wardrobe and took my ' Free Your Mind' light-blue t-shrt, light jeans and white sneakers. I took my phone and went out to find Damon. As Elena said, he was at the Grill. I sat next to him and ordered whiskey.
-' I didn't really have a chance to thank you for keeping an eye on Kol.' -Damon said half-drunk.
-' I've never heard you say thanks.' -I said smiling.
-' I wouldn't say, I would show you how thankful I can be.' -He turned to me smirking.
-' Love problems?' -I asked looking him.
-' You too?' -He asked drinking his bourbon.
-' Yes.' -I said taking another glass.
-' What happened to you?'
-' He left. How about you?'
-' You should be happy. He did you a favor.' -He said not answering on my quesion.
-' He's not that bad.' -I said defending Kol, although I knew I couldn't change his mind.
-' Enough about him, this night sucks already.' -I took another drink and rolled my eyes. -' Kol is not the right guy for you anyway, I knew that from the beggining.'
-' And, who is the right guy for me? You?' -I said raising my eyebrows.
-' Not the right guy, but we could have a lot of fun.' -He said smirking, looking me up and down.
-' Forget it Damon, I'm not cheating on Kol.' -I said rolling my eyes.
-' You really think he's not cheating on you? He's Kol.' -He said smiling. I thought about it for a second, but then I sent away those thoughts. He wouldn't do that.
-' I thought you didn't wanna talk about him.' -I said getting up.
-' Hey, don't be mad. Where are you going?'
-' Home, it late. And I'm not mad.' -I said leaving.
-' Yes, you are. Because you know I'm right.'
I turned to him. -' I am not mad.' -I said with anger in my voice. I turned around and left. Those are going to be long months.
