Somebody told me

Kol Mikaelson, the discarded son. Then the discarded brother. But in between that, I was the discarded lover. Yes, before my brother managed to convince her he was worth his time, she was worth mine. Fiore, my first love. We were going to get married, live happily wreaking havoc about together. She was supposed to end up with me.

She had been my best friend when she had first come to Mystic Falls, we did everything together, practically joined at the hip. I was a reckless boy and she was a reclusive girl, a match made in heaven. People had always assumed we would get married, I had always assumed we would marry but apparently she was so taken by Niklaus that it had never been her plan in the first place.

Then Niklaus's first wife Alva died, and Fiore was passed onto the older brother and she got what she had apparently been wishing for a long time—the chance to be with my brother. They got married and it was decent enough, our wedding would've been much more fun, just putting it out there. And I would never have done what he did to her, I would have never hurt her or let anyone hurt her. He promised not to either and then he did. He lied to her and I was given a chance to get her back.

After Niklaus had lied to her that day she went to find me. He had hurt her and she chose me. We had all fled and were in the countryside, the others had told us not to look for trouble but I am Kol Mikaelson for goodness sake.

Shot at the night

"Kol" She said when she had found me drinking blood from one of the men that came to hunt here.

"Oh sorry, did you want some Fi? He's all gone." I said blood still dripping from my mouth. "But lucky for you, I'm a messy eater so I still have some on my lips" I said with a wicked grin, I didn't think she would actually kiss me, but I wouldn't have complained if she did."Sorry Kol, but I'm not in the mood" She spoke so sadly and my heart ached for her.

"What happened?"

"It's Nik" She answered. Who else would it be, if not that unrighteous brother of mine?

"What has my brother done this time?" I asked with a knowing sigh.

"He lied. For the first time in our entire courtship. In our marriage." She told him dejectedly.

"I'm sorry Fi." I was elated. I knew Nik would do something to cock it all up but I definitely didn't think it would be so early on.

"You don't look it" The look on her face perked up slightly at my somewhat delighted behaviour so I went for it. I took a chance and hoped that maybe she would be ready for me. Ready to give me a shot.

"Because I'm not. Fiore, I am in love with you, since the first time I laid eyes on you, I have been in love with you. I know you're smart enough to already have figured that out. I know that you're in love with my brother but he consistently hurts you. So you might not love me now, but couldn't you learn to?" I pleaded with her with every fibre of my being, I needed this to work, I needed this to be our chance, our time.

"Kol, you know we could never be." She told me. "I'm with Nik.

"You were with me first." I said as I took her hand into mine. "Just give me a chance. I can, no I will be everything you want and more."
