Second Chance 》 The Vampire Diaries

Do Not Go Gentle

Any other given situation I'd be pissed at Damon and Elena for leaving me behind like that. Ok, mostly Damon. I know Elena well enough to know that she wanted to stay and find me. But I'm not angry at them. I'm happy. I'm finally with Kol. I've never been this happy since...for a while now.

"You ok?" Stefan asked over the phone.

I nodded as I looked out the window from my hotel room. "Yeah. Just a little pissed that I'm still stuck in Denver," I lied.

"What happened?"

I sighed. "I don't know. Kol grabbed me and the next thing I knew I was in an ally with a few stakes rammed into me."

"I'm going to kill the both of them. Damon for just leaving you like that saying you can take care of yourself and Kol for actually taking you."

"Don't. I can deal with them. Damon's Damon. And Kol...I can't believe I ended with a guy like that."

"Does he know you've got your memories back?"

Yes. "No. And I think it's for the best." There I go again. Lying to my twin.

"Listen, Bels. I'm sorry it had to be this way."

I shook my head. "You don't have to apologize. I'm the one who was stupid enough to fall in love with a guy like that." Then something else clicked in my head. "And something tells me that Damon and the others don't know I have my memories back."

"No. I figured you'd want to tell them yourself." I heard him sigh. "And I'm sorry for threatening you like that. I just want you to be happy and I don't think it's with them."

A small smile came to my face. "I love you, Stef. I'll be back before the dance starts."

This time he groaned. "Don't remind me. Caroline threatened to cut my head off if you didn't show."

I chuckled. "Well, tell her I'm coming."

"Will do."

Then we hung up. I felt Kol standing behind me as he wrapped his arms around my waist and started kissing my neck.

"That's not very nice," he whispered as he peppered my neck with kisses. "I wouldn't have left stakes in you."

I tilted my head for him to get better access. "Yeah, you would." I turned around and grabbed his face before kissing him. When I pulled away Kol had a huge smile on his face. "I love you."

"Love you too, darling." He pulled me towards the bed. "Now...should we finish were we left off."

I started chuckling. "I don't think the bed is ready."

Which is true. When Kol pulled me away from Damon and Elena it was nothing but kiss after kiss. We found a hotel room and continued there. The room was a wreck. The dresser was broken. There was this hole the size of Kol's body when I pushed him against it. The bed broke after a few hours but we just kept going. We were throwing the last decade into that one night. It reminded me the first time we slept together back in New Orleans.

I yelped with a laugh as Kol tossed me over his shoulder. "Well, I am."

I better wipe this smile off my face before I reach Mystic Falls. People would begin questioning me and then everything would just blow up.

"Don't understand why you have to go?" Kol complained as I put my shirt on. "You're here. I'm here. We could finally pack our bags and leave our families to fight each other. Let them fend for themselves."

"As lovely as that sounds I have to head home. There's this dance and Caroline will kill me if I'm not there."

"Who cares about some dance?"
