Lily
I woke up in an empty bed realizing I was in my bedroom alone. Klaus was nowhere to be found. Memories from last night flashed back through my mind like thunder. It lingered until it came to registration what happened last night.

I remembered every little detail and my heart raced faster as I continued to think about it. He might be the bad hybrid but to me, he was something else.

He was Klaus Mikaelson, the innocent boy who was abused by his father and raised that way, without love. He lacked of love since his childhood so maybe it wasn't his entire fault that he was this way towards everyone.

Sure I was pissed at him for doing what he did to my sister but maybe I don't understand his place. There was more to his story than what I had comprehend. It wasn't right for me to judge him just because everyone else did.

"Love are you awake?" Klaus asked worriedly.

"Barely. I'm still so sleepy." I yawned deeply, still in bed.

"You slept like a baby for 12 hours."

"12 HOURS!?" I was beyond confused. I didn't think I slept for that long. Then I remembered the plans I had for today. I better get to the grocery store to stock the milk and cereal. I guess I couldn't blame them for not remembering, after-all I was the only one eating and consuming most of the food.

"I better get to the store. We're running low on food stocks." I ran out of the bed, pulling one of my sweatshirts and a pair of leggings.

"Wait love, you can't go right now. I'm busy and nobody is going to accompany you."

"It's okay. I'll be fine on my own."

"NO. Stay here." Klaus' voice was raised to a tone that frightened me. I jumped back slightly.

"You know what Klaus. I'm so sick of you controlling my life. I get to do whatever the hell it is I want. What more do you expect from me. You practically kidnapped me from my family and now forcing me to be on your sight 24/7. When I'm busy, I'm forced to go with you but when you're busy, you can't even give a little time for me."

"I'm just doing this for your own safety. I was going to be busy because I'm meeting up with Marcel to sort a compromise for you but clearly you're just like everyone, expecting the worst in me. " He exclaimed.

"Klaus..." And before I knew, he was gone. I can't believe I did that to him. I should have trusted him because of course, he is pissed that I thought he was anything like what people thought he was.

I walked into the room, back and forth wondering where Klaus was. I hated being the cause of his sadness. This was all a mess. What have I done with my life?

Falling for a hybrid that I'm not even supposed to like at all. Separated from my family. Living in a city which I didn't even feel like home. I can't believe it but maybe Klaus might only want me for Elena and I was falling for him because of him.

A knock in my door brought me back to reality.

"Lily, are you okay?" I could see Elijah's shadow before I even turned around. I knew it was Elijah the moment his heard his voice.

"I'm fine." I didn't want to go telling the whole world what happened. I kept silent, not saying much but Elijah was somehow able to see right through me.

"Lily, I know you're not alright. Where's Niklaus?" Elijah asked, his voice concerned.

"I don't know." I couldn't stop the tears that were pouring out. It was my fault that Klaus left abruptly and now nobody knew where he was.

"Tell me what happened Lily." Elijah's voice soothed me.

"I-I-I was going to go to the grocery to get some food. And then-" I didn't get the chance to continue but Elijah had already made me feel a bit better.

"Shhh, I understand." Elijah replied.

It wasn't long before Klaus came back bringing a girl in her mid-twenties. My heart shattered when I saw this because I didn't want to think of the worst. Maybe she was an ally, Klaus' friend perhaps. For all I knew, she might be helping me from Marcel who somehow hates me.

However, the minute Klaus looked straight into my eyes, I was able to see through the guilt. It was like something was wrong and I knew that that girl was not here for my sake. She didn't look like she knew anything at all.

But I didn't care, Klaus was back and I wasn't going to let him slip through my fingers again. We're good now. Everything is back to normal. Or so I thought.

"Lily, meet Hayley." Klaus finally introduced.

A/N: Okay so finally I'm getting to the plotline of the story. Sorry it took this long to updatee. Hope you all still with me.
Xoxo, leighton.
