"So you're leaving," I said quietly as Kol leaned against his car door. He nodded silently. "For how long?"
"I really don't know."
We were silent, neither of us knowing what to say.
"Julietta."
I closed my eyes at the sound of Damon's voice from behind me and couldn't help the sigh that slipped past my lips.
"What do you want?" I asked turning to face him and noticing Stefan by side.
"We want to apologise," Stefan said watching me closely. "For-"
"Don't. Don't apologise, just tell me who made the decision for me not to know."
There was a small pause. "Elena."
"Of course." I muttered, shaking my head.
"Jules."
"Stop."
"Jules!"
"No," I said firmly, staring down at my shoes. "Don't. I'm done being left out of everything. You need to stop coming to me with all of your little problems and expecting me to just be there and then just toss me aside the moment that I need you."
"That's not fair," Damon protested.
"You want to know what's not fair? I'm always there for you when you need me but you? You're only there when it suits you to be. "You wanted to know why I went to Klaus for protection didn't you. It was because I knew that he would actually be there. It helps to have a guy who isn't afraid to bend the rules on your side especially when I know that he'll help me however he can. You'd be there only after I needed you and only if your precious Elena allows it." I sucked in a stuttering breath. "I thought of you two as if you were my brothers and I trusted you but I can't sit by and watch this. "What going to happen when she's made her choice between the two of you? It'll be just like Katherine again."
Kol wrapped a hand around my wrist and turned me into his chest. "Maybe it would be best if you left her alone mates."
They seemed to contemplate his words and let moments later. As soon as they'd left I pushed myself out of his grasp.
"Kol!" Klaus called out. "We need to leave."
He nodded in acknowledgment and peered down at me. Leaning down he paused slightly and I swallowed, feeling my heart rate accelerate. Pressing a small lingering kiss to my cheek he straightened up. "Goodbye Julietta."

The door bell rang and I couldn't help the groan that left my lips, did no one know that weekends were meant for sleeping in? Or was I the only one in this strange town that thought so?
