love is weakness - k.p.

part two

"Hey y/n!", Elena shouted, running up to the new nurse.

"Oh, hi Elena", confused y/n looked at the Gilbert. She only worked at the hospital in Mystic Fall since last week and she didn't know that Elena even knew her name.

"I'm sorry, I know it's a bit sudden but I thought we could maybe get to know each other a bit. I mean we're going to work on the same floor for quite a while", the vampire laughed nervously.

Y/n nodded still a bit confused, looking through some files.

Elena gave a quick look to Jo, who was standing a few meters away at the reception.

The woman nodded shocked, pressing a hand over mouth before looking at Elena and mouthing 'it's her'.

"So since when are you working here?", y/n asked politely, walking over to the cafeteria.

"Ehm, actually not that long, I think a few months now."

Settling down in the seat on the other side of the table she watched the nurse sceptically. That was the woman Kai Parker loved?

And how the hell was she alive? Alive and approximately 21 years old?

"Where did you grow up?"

"I grew up in Portland in Oregon. My parents still live there but we don't really talk anymore.", y/n answered, biting into her sandwich.

"Oh... So you don't visit there anymore? No friends or boyfriend there?"

Y/n shook her head. "No, I didn't have much friends in my childhood and definitely no boyfriend.", she ended chuckling.

"No dramatic moments in your childhood?"

"No...?", y/n looked at Elena confused. That was a weird icebreaker.

"I mean there was traumatic experience when I was a bit younger", she started, Elena leaning interested towards her.

"I had a date with some guy from our high school and when he drove me back to my house he accidentally crashed into a tree. He didn't get hurt but I actually got a pretty reminder of that day" she laughed, pushing up her uniform to reveal a nasty scar over her stomach.

"Oh boy", Elena said, not because of her story, but that scar fitted perfectly into Jo's story.

"Hey", Jo appeared behind y/n. Looking at the girl as if she'd seen a ghost. Which she basically had.

"Hey!", y/n smiled, putting her bag from the seat beside her to invite Jo to sit down.

"I'm y/n", she held her hand out, Jo shaking it still in shock.

"OK, I have to go now! My break is going to end in a few minutes and I still have to go to the bathroom", y/n stood up, packing away her snacks.

"Oh wait! I'm supposed to make photos of the workers here for our website! ", Elena said, pulling out her smartphone.

"You want to take a picture with us?"

A few days later y/n was invited to the Salvatore Mansion for a barbecue party. Though her awkward conversation with Elena and Jo made her cringe every time she thought about it, they still were the only people she knew in this new town yet.

Of course she instantly befriended with her neighbor when she moved here but y/n had to say that she rather spent an evening with a few new guys her age than with the slightly crazy 80 year old woman the next house over.

The loud ringing of the doorbell broke the silence in the Salvatore mansion.

Elena's head bobbed up from slicing a salad.
