"Where's Elijah?" I ponder out loud.

I look around for someone who might be able to tell me where the original is. In the mix of workers, I spot only one familiar face. I am hesitant to go over where Kol stands. We hadn't talked since the kiss and I really didn't want to talk have a conversation with him quite yet. What has happen was one of the biggest mistakes I ever made and the guilt I feel has been sitting inside me ever since.

I take a deep breath and stride over to Kol. He gave me a small smile when he saw me and I returned it awkwardly.

"Do you know where Elijah is?" I asked, getting straight to the point.

Kol's face dropped slightly before answering, " Nik said he had a meeting before the ceremony. He should be back before the wedding."

"Of course." I mutter. "Do you at least have the rings?"

Kol shakes his head up and down slightly.

"Thank god. I just want it to be perfect for Caroline."

"It will be." Kol put a comforting hand on my shoulder before removing it, quickly.

An awkward silence fell. Both of us trying to avoid each other gaze.

"I better get going."

"Yes, I'm sure you have a lot to do."

I turned my back and walked quickly away a tight frown on my face. Our friendship will never be the same, if we could ever go back to normal.

"Come on! We don't have all day!" I yell at the innocent worker.

This is gonna be a long day.

Kol's POV.
My hair blows lightly from where I sit away from the wedding preparations. My feelings are a mess today. I mean, I'm very happy for my brother, but at the same time I wish I could have what he has with Caroline and the three girls. On top of that, the person who could make me feel better I can't even talks to, because of a stupid mistake I made. Not only did I hurt our friendship, but I betrayed my brother.

I want to be just happy. I mean we aren't in danger and my brothers getting married! Yet, I can't help but feel like a broken replacement of myself. Maybe because I am broken and I don't know how not to be. I just wish things could go back to the way things were, when everyone was happy. Well everyone is happy now, except me.

"I don't think I've ever seen you think that hard," A voice sounds from behind him.

But it can't be. His mind is playing tricks on him. I turns around quickly and sees her. The most beautiful, amazing, and intelligent woman I have ever laid eyes on.

"Bonnie?" I whispered, still believing it was a dream and I could wake up at any moment.

All Bonnie does is nod her head then suddenly are hands are wrapt around each other. I can feel her breathing as her head rest on my chest. I blink a few times making sure it's not some kind trick that my mind is playing on me.

"Ive missed you." Bonnie smiles as she pulls back.

"Oh darling, you have no idea." A small smirk played on my face.

"Kol...how are you."

Isn't that a question.

"Better that you're here, sweetheart."
