PlayBoy☆Klaus Mikaelson

"Jeremy should be here, contributing to the cause too." I say, holding my wrist up to Elena just as Matt secures the band aid on his own wrist.

She cautiously looks up to me- as if assuring it was alright. I nod. I knew she could control herself if it was someone she cared about. At least I sure hoped so.

Her eyes darken and the usual dark veins spread across them. She sinks her fangs into my wrist making me wince- I try not to because I know she would stop and refuse to ever do it to me ever again if I showed how much it hurt.

She pulls herself away from my wrist hesitantly and looks up to me in confusion.

"It tastes different." She says, wiping the excess blood from her lips. I furrow my eyebrows at the comment. Never thought I'd hear a vampire criticize the taste of my blood.

"Is it bad?"

"It's got this smooth after taste. It kinda tastes like..." She trails off, getting lost in her thought. She looked somewhat confused. I raise an eyebrow at her weird behavior. Must be the new vampire emotions taking over.

"Probably the coffee I drank or something." I shrug it off, putting the bandaid on the wound.

"Yeah it's just-"

"We're gonna be late if we don't wrap this up sooner." Matt cuts off Elena who was still pretty lost in thought. Weird. I think none of it though.

"Let's go then."

My eyes bore into the chalkboard- which is a very rare occasion. Alaric's notes were still sprawled across the board. Never really thought about having to come back to school without him.

I was somehow glad when he died (for the second time) of course at the time of his death he wasn't Alaric. But now- after his evil alter ego died all I feel is grief. There was nothing distracting me from it like there has been for the past few days. All I could do was deal with it.

Death was a touchy subject on its own. It's hard to understand or even fathom the idea of someone completely leaving the world- never being able to see them, talk to them or even feel their presence again. It never sat right with me how easily someone could leave forever. The people closest to me have died and now I feel constant fear that next Elena or Jeremy could leave me just like they did- and Elena almost did.

Although I never would've told her during her transition- I'm not sure I could've handled it if she chose to die. I knew she would've never chosen that anyway.

Once I feel the tears start forming in my eyes I stand from my seat- rather abruptly. This catches the attention of the class, of course one that was filled with nobody I really liked or even considered a friend.

Being the youngest in the friend group literally has no advantages. I quickly grab my bag and exit the classroom- not really feeling up to making a bigger scene. I definitely wasn't gonna cry in a classroom like a pussy.

I enter the bathroom that had thankfully been empty and throw my bag to the ground as I approach the mirror. I looked a mess and I was already crying once again.

Seriously feel like I'm the vampire with heightened emotions at this point. It was like I couldn't control the tears that rapidly spilled from my eyes. Everything that I've been upset about just runs through my head all at once.

How more could've been done for Alaric and Elena. How things could've gone differently and how I wish I could change everything. How I'm a bad friend and sister for feeling the way I do about Klaus. How I was genuinely missing him. It was all messed up.

I wipe the tears from my face, almost feeling disgust as I look at myself in the mirror. My eyes flicker down to the necklace I had been wearing since it was given to me.

Before I even have a chance to calm myself down the bathroom door swings open.

"Ooh, Scarlett. Just the girl I was hoping to see." Rebekah's smiles as her eyes land on me through the mirror. I wipe the remaining tears from my eyes and turn to her.

"I've gotta get back to class." I say, hoping she will take it as a cue that I wasn't gonna be in the mood for her- she was partially at fault for my sudden burst of sadness. Of course I take blame too.

Once I grab my bag and go to walk past her, she blocks my way by leaning against the door. I don't even have the energy to glare at her.

"I'm sure you can chat for a few moments."

"I can't."

"Oh Scarlett, don't tell me your avoiding me because of the little scene I walked in on. It was quite cute, nothing to be ashamed of..." She trails off. "Of course I wonder what your friends would think of your rather scandalous night with Nik." My eyes narrow. I wasn't Elena and wouldn't get a reaction from me.

I guess kindness and friendship can only get you so far with Mikaelsons. Rebekah has killed me and Alaric and shown no remorse for it despite the 'friendship' we formed. I wasn't avoiding her out of embarrassment. I just knew my anger would outweigh my pity for the woman.

Her face drops once I don't respond. Almost as if she started to feel bad about the comment.

"Look, I know you're still angry I ran you off the bridge, but you have to understand-- Alaric killed my brother. He was trying to kill me. I had to do something to stop him. I never wanted to hurt you. Trust me I've paid for what I've done. Nik's made sure of that." She looks down, she seemed somewhat ashamed. I wondered what he did to make her 'pay'.

I scoff at her explanation and shoot her a glare before pushing past her and leaving her slightly stunned in the bathroom.

She killed my sister, almost killed Matt and killed me. I was angry and upset. I wasn't gonna keep attempting to be her friend only for her to forget about it when she needs to act selfishly.

I begin walking down the hall, trying to decide if I was gonna skip the rest of the day or go back to class.

I stop dead in my tracks when my eyes land on the familiar man from the funeral- the hunter. I quickly take a detour down a random hall to avoid him. He probably assumed I'd be dead- and if I were alive I couldn't physically be in school with the shit he did to me. Wouldn't be too good if he saw me all healed and healthy.

I collide into another person. Today really couldn't get any more difficult could it.

"Caroline?"

"Scarlett! Are you skipping for Rebekah's party too?"

"Rebekah's party?"

"You didn't know? You should come with me and Tyler! It could be fun!"

"Not really in the mood-"

"Oh come on. Stefan and Elena are going. I'm sure you can stomach an hour or two." Elena despised Rebekah. Why would she be going to the party?

"I don't know about a party right now." I shrug making Caroline frown.

"At least let me drive you home."
