"Hey," I said awkwardly as Klaus let me inside the apartment.

"What do you want?" He asked. "Sex or a relationship?"

"W-what?" I stuttered, closing the door.

"I mean, both with me."

"Klaus," I blushed.

"Did you break up with him?" He asked and I shook my head. "So sex. You want to take that offer?"

"I want to talk," I said. "About us."

"I can erase all compulsion from your mind again. And I will give you something so I can't compel you anymore."

"Yes," I said.

He walked over to me and grabbed me by the face. His hands covering my cheeks as he looked into my eyes, "Remember everything and feel whatever you want about it all."

I closed my eyes as a few memories came back to me in a quick blur. But I couldn't pinpoint a single one just yet. "Where's the thing to stop compulsion?" I asked him.

He let me go and stepped away. "Hold on," he said. I waited in the living room until he came back with a bracelet. "Inside is a little purple plant. Vervain. Vampires are all weak against it. Anyone who has consumed it or where's it is safe from compulsion. Okay?" He questioned and I nodded.

"You're serious about this, aren't you?"

"Yes. And that's why I need an answer soon, baby girl. I got to get back to mystic Falls. I have more work to get done."

"What about me?"

"What do you mean?"

"If I say no now, are you going to just get up and leave and not come back?"

"Not for awhile at least."

What if he moved on while I was still on the fence?

"And if I say yes, you'll stay?"

"I have to go, Danielle. But I want you to come with me. Prove I want to be with you. I want us together."

"What if my answer is I don't know?"

"Then I will leave tomorrow."

"I don't know," I stated and he nodded.

"That's okay. I'll wait. You give me a call whenever you want me to come get you."

"Can you...Can I take up your offer before you go?" I asked him.

"What?"

"Sex."

"We just agreed no more compulsion."

"Then I'll remember it," I shrugged.

"And the boyfriend?"

I bit my lip. "But you're leaving tomorrow," I frowned. "Even if I went to break up with him in the morning, you'd be gone. And I... I want you so bad, Klaus," I cried.

"You need to leave," he said, stroking my hair. "I'll come back in a few weeks or says, whatever you need. You decide on your boy toy. And we will have sex after you pick me, Danielle."

I sniffled and turned around, leaving his apartment.

Dear diary,

I remember everything. The abortion. Klaus forced that. He made me give my baby up. And I felt empty al over again. I could trust him just barely now. But my heart was broken all over again. And I couldn't stop the tears. Not now. I didn't know what to do. I didn't know what I wanted. But right now I was alone. So lonely and so hurt.
