SORRY BUT CAN WE APPRECIATE KLAUS FOR A SEC?! HOLLA TVD LOVERS XX (btw I will frequently post gifs/pics that aren't of the actual casting just because I can't find a a range of good ones so yeah. this goes mainly for Bethany because she's a Youtuber.)

"So," Barclay said as we walked out of detention. "Since we're going to try to rebuild our..." He debated on the right word to say. "erm, friendship, can I start by giving you my number?"

Huh? I already have his number. "I already have your number, remember Jerkface? I did continuously try to text you and call you—all which you happened to ignore by the way."

"Okay, I admit that I did ignore you but later on I did change my number so that you—"

"That doesn't make it okay, Barclay!" I said, exasperated.

"I know." He sighed, licking his lips. "But I had my reasons."

"And that is why this...us," I gestured to the two of us. "will never work. Secrets. What could have possibly happened that was so bad?"

I was done with this conversation already.

"You don't know anything, okay, Rhiannon?" He snapped. "You don't know what I've been through so you sure as hell have no right to say it wasn't that bad."

His eyes softened after he realised what had just happened. "Rhiannon, I-I I'm so sorry. Fuck, I didn't mean to switch on you like that. I—"

"Save it." I closed my eyes, holding my hands up. "You meant every word."

I began to walk away but he pulled my arm. "Rhiannon, stop. Please." He pulled me so close that our chests were touching. "Princess." He murmured as his soft fingers stroked my cheek. I shivered even though my cheek felt like it was on fire—his touch drives me insane. His eyes were locked in mine and I swear for a minute I got lost in them.

Memories of Camp Cali came flooding back and I felt like succumbing to my weaknesses—but I'm stronger than that. Yet I couldn't find myself pulling always.

Barclay leaned closer and closer. I could feel his breathe fanning over my lips and I wanted nothing more than to close the space between us.

"I-I can't." I pushed him away slightly.

"Rhiannon, I can't force you into anything but I can give you time." He pulled away and suddenly I felt the warmth flee from my body.

"I thought she told you she can't, dumbass." Theo's voice boomed as he stood at the school's entrance with a McDonald's bag in his hand—just like he had promised. He then proceeded in walking in our direction.

I quickly pushed myself away from Theo, feeling the heat creep up in my cheeks. Just fucking great. This is just what I needed right now.

"Theo..." I trailed off.

"Don't bother explaining yourself." He smiled sadly, handing the McDonald's bag towards me. "I know you still have feelings for him."

My heart sunk and not because of what he said but because I felt as if I had betrayed Theo somehow. I don't know why, though. After all, we are just friends. Right?

I didn't know how to answer his question. Do I still have feelings for Barclay? Do I? I don't know, everything is jumbled up and I'm so confused.

Theo began walking towards the door but I grabbed his arm. I urged him to stay or to at least let me go with him but she shrugged me off.

"It hurts like a motherfucker saying this but go after him." Barclay sighed. "The only reason I'm saying this is because I want to see you happy—with or without me. So go ahead."
