Falling (Completed)

Chapter 8: The Truth

Rebekah's POV

I woke up early so I could talk to Bonnie before Malia woke up. I silently made my way down the stairs where Bonnie was. Knowing Malia she would sleep until twelve or so. I stepped in the living room and sat down. "Bonnie, can we talk?"

Bonnie looked at me, obviously worried. "About Malia? I wanted to actually talk to you about her too. How is she holding up?"

I sighed. "She's acting strong, like nothing is wrong and her life is perfect. She hasn't even brought up Hayley or the baby once."

Bonnie furrowed her brows together. "There's no way this isn't bothering her."

I nodded. "Which is why I want you to try to get her to talk."

Bonnie looked at me, tilting her head to the side. "She won't talk to you about it, will she?"

I frowned more and shook my head. "Sadly not."

Bonnie smiled at me. "You care about her, don't you? Who knew that the fierce Rebekah Mikealson would fall in love with Malia Salvatore."

I blushed lightly and waved my hand in dismissal. "I left my family for her, of course I'm in love with her. I'm risking everything for her and her happiness. I've held these feelings inside for too long and I'm tired of hiding."

Bonnie smirked. "I didn't even know you were into girls."

I sighed and rubbed my hands over my face. "I didn't either but with Malia I feel like I never have before. I feel like I have purpose again, that I can be who I am and not be judged for it."

Bonnie nodded her head in understanding and stood up, giggling. "I'm going to go wake Malia and Caroline up. Feel free to eat while I'm gone so I don't have to see you drink blood. I don't want to see that."

I smiled. "Well do."

Malia's POV

I was currently sitting on Bonnie's bed, glaring at her. "I told you, I'm fine. I don't care about Hayley or that freaking baby. I don't care that Nik cheated."

Bonnie raised her eyebrow. "Right, which is why your fingernails are clenched in your hand so hard that you're bleeding."

I bit my lip and looked at my hands which were bleeding. I sighed and got up and ran water over the marks in my palm. "Bonnie, can we please just drop it?"

Caroline cleared her throat. "We are just worried about you, Malia. What you're going through, that's huge. Between the Cullens and now Hayley, we are just concerned for you and your safety."

I scuffed. "I'm far away from them now, so it's not like it really matters, is it?"

Caroline frowned. "It does matter because you are one of our best friends and we care about what happens to you, Malia."

I ran my fingers through my hair and sighed as I felt tears swell up in my eyes. "You want me to be completely honest with you? Fine, I'm broken. I'm more than broken, I'm shattered," I took a deep breath and let my tears fall. "he cheated on me. He didn't care about how that would effect me. He didn't care about how I would feel.It destroyed my self esteem, I feel so pathetic and stupid for trusting him with my heart. I feel stupid for believing that someone as careless and monstrous as Niklaus was capable of love. The rumors about him are true, he destroys people and ruins them just for the hell of it. I thought that I actually made him happy but I was wrong."

Suddenly the door slammed open and I saw a flash of blonde before Rebekah's face was all that I could see. She wrapped her arms around me, pulling me close to her. "Malia, please don't blame yourself for what he has done. My brother is an idiot. I'm so sorry that he hurt you like this Malia. I promise you that you will never even hear his name come out of my mouth. We will stay away from them for as long as possible."

I cried in Rebekah's arms, holding tightly onto her as if she was going to disappear on me. "Why did he do it? Was I not enough for him?"

Rebekah lowly growled, hugging me tighter. "You are always good enough, never, ever, doubt that, okay? You are special Malia."

I just nodded and kept crying, not knowing what to say. I closed my eyes and let myself be consumed by the safety that I felt when Rebekah hugged me. "Then why would he do me so wrong? What did I do to him?"

I could feel Rebekah tense up, getting more angry with each word I said. I sobbed into her shirt, feeling insecure. She rubbed my back. "Malia, he is an idiot. He didn't realize what he had. You're amazing, Mal. Never doubt that. You're honestly one of the sweetest and most forgiving people I know."

I looked up at Rebekah, my lip trembling. If what she said was true, why would Klaus of cheated on me? Why would he of done me so bad if he loved me? Is this what love is suppose to be like? I sighed but nodded my head. "Thanks, Beks. I uh, I'm going to go get ready for the day. Plan us something to do before we leave? Goodbye Breakfast maybe?"

Rebekah nodded her head and smiled. "Anything for you, Mal."

I smiled back shyly. I made my way to the shower and took my clothes off, letting the hot water relax me. I held my face under the water for as long as I could, trying to wash away the memories and thoughts of Klaus, trying to get the feeling of his touch off of my skin. I really hate him and maybe, just maybe, I'll get my revenge on him. Make him regret what he did to me because one thing for sure is he will never be able to call me his again.
