"You know just how to make my heart beat faster. Emotional earthquake, bring on disaster.
You hit me head-on, got me weak in my knees."

Starving

I was pacing along the floor of my bedroom, holding my phone in my hand. "Lots, go to bed. He's still on a plane," Matt told me, coming into the doorway of my room.

"I know," I complained. "But I want him to come home now. His flight is 18 hours. That's forever!"

"He has like 10 left to go. By the time you wake up he'll be ready to call you. Okay? Just get some sleep."

"Fine," I sighed. "Now get out. I'm still mad at you, Mister kidnap and runaway with Elena accomplice."

"I was going to tell you."

"When?" I scoffed.

"I don't know, Lottie. But you knew."

"Because you called to tell me about Damon! Not about you leaving town without me. Or without telling me. Your twin! Remember?"

"I'm sorry!" He exclaimed. "God. When did you start yelling like this? What happened to-"

"To being quiet and being walked all over? It's gone. So next time you do something stupid like that and try to abandon me, I won't forgive you so easily. Now get out," I ordered.

He rolled his eyes, shutting the door behind him. I sighed and looked at my phone. No missed calls or messages. I can't believe Kol's flight was so long. I finally cut out my light and laid down in bed. But I wasn't tired. My flight was six hours long. But the time difference was 12 hours. It was 7AM, I had Matt pick me up at the airport at six this morning. He was still tired from getting up early. I was usually a cranky morning person but right now sleep wasn't important. Kol was. So I decided to text him something for him to see when he lands.

Hey babe! Hope your flight was alright. I googled it, it was 18+ hours. Which must have sucked. But I'm home and I'm safe. I miss you already and I need you to come back. Check your voicemail. And call me ASAP 😘😘 -Me

Sorry for double texting... I'm just lonely. It's 7AM here. I don't want to sleep though. I just want to talk to you. But you're hours away on a plane to another country 😢 I really just want you to come cuddle me to sleep. I miss that right now as I lay in my bed alone. I'm being clingy, aren't I? I'm going to stop now. I'll talk to you soon I guess 😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚 -Me

I put my phone down reluctantly after setting an alarm so I didn't sleep the whole day away.

"Hello?" I yawned, answering my phone.

"Did I wake you?" Kol's voice came through.

"Kol? Babe? I want you to come home," I said, sitting up in bed. "Please."

"I got all your messages. But I'm confused. Elena's dead?" He asked me.

"Like that matters," I scoffed.

"Charlie," he scolded while chuckling.
