Fade Into Me

The Prophecy

"Thank you Matt." Bonnie smiled at her friend and took the coffee mug back to her table, she smiled at Jenna and Alaric that were sitting at another table and slowed down as Luka came her way. "Hey..." she said and smiled holding the mug awkwardly.

"Hi." he answered and they both looked at each other not sure what to do next.
"Luka I..." she started but couldn't finish, she didn't know what to tell him.

"I know that you have someone else and you seem happy and all but I'd like to at least be your friend Bonnie." Luka said honestly.
She smiled and raised the mug in her hand. "Would you have a cup of coffee with me?"

Luka nodded smiling and they sat down a bit less awkwardly.
"So, how is the new school?" she asked him playing with the mug in her hands.

"It was ok... different at first but I made friends pretty quickly." he said realizing how stunning she still was to him.
Bonnie smiled. "You were always good at making friends."

"I missed talking to you though, part of me hopped that you would have answered my messages."
Bonnie felt the soreness behind his words. "I was hurt at you Luka. I still am..."

"Bonnie, I asked you to come with me, away from this damn town." he told her serious.
Bonnie looked down on the table. "My Gran wasn't even cold in the ground Luka and you wanted me to walk out, on my friends and my life."

"Everyone lost someone that summer, I lost my sister as well but I had a chance out of this place, a chance away from all this mess and I wanted you to come with me."
"Why did you come back?" she bluntly asked him.

Luka smiled, Bonnie was never one to go around the bush very long. "My dad is selling our property and I wanted a second chance."
"At what?" Bonnie asked in a whisper clutching the mug in her hand.

"I love you Bonnie, I never stopped loving you and I want you to come with me. We can start over away from here; in a town where we can be normal."
Bonnie smiled and looked at him. "I don't want to be normal Luka. I love being who I am and that I can make a difference, help my friends and keep this town safe when needed."

Luka leaned back on his chair. "This town doesn't give a damn about you Bonnie."
She shook her long hair and rose her chin high. "And that is the huge difference between us, I don't run away when things get rough, my friends don't run away to another town because they can't handle the pressure."

Luka looked down and then stood up leaving The Grill, she simply shook her head in disappointment, she would never be able to forgive him for leaving her when she needed him the most.

Kol drank his beer quietly on the counter, watching and listening to the talk in front of him.
He gave Rebekah a look as his sister sat on a stool with a huge banter smile.

"How fake exactly is this thing between you and Bonnie?"
Kol looked at her sideways and smiled his perfect smile. "None of your business."

Rebekah laughed. "Careful Kol, you should never push a girl back into her former lover's arms... With all that women expertise and you still haven't learned anything?" she asked appalled.
Kol dropped his beer on the table squinting. "How's Damon?"

Rebekah's face hardened. "I wouldn't know."
"Isn't he trying to win you back? He has been in town for a couple of days now, I'm surprised he hasn't used his eye thing and his smooth talk to find his way back into your bed."

Rebekah smiled playing Kol's stinging game. "He will not get to me this time."
"I would certainly lose all my respect for you Bekah, if you gave into him this time around."

"Then maybe you can grant Matt the night off to keep me distracted..." she pleaded him smiling sweetly at him.
Kol shook his head. "Can't you for once just choose someone who won't end up breaking your heart Bekah?"
