It's a Wolf Thing

Chapter 17

Today is graduation, a day I should be happy, and yet I'm pissed. Pissed because I was attacked. Pissed because my boyfriend if he still even is has ghosted me. Pissed because I just am. Caroline busted in like she always does on days like today, day that are important, well at least to her.
"Alex, get up and get ready! Today's graduation!"
I groaned rolling over covering my face from the light she had turned on, "I think I'll stay here for a bit longer."
She huffed, "Get. Up."
Pulling the blanket over me more, "I still have like 3 hours that I could use to sleep."
Before I knew it she had pulled me out of the bed, leaving me face down on the floor. Though the gash on my stomach hurt more from the fall than my face.
"What the hell Care?"
"I told you to get up!"
As I pulled my self away from the floor I she saw the anger on my face, "You're gonna have to put the anger away today."
Putting on a clearly fake smile, "Better?"
She sighed, "It'll do."
She walked out leaving me by myself, as I started to get back in the bed to sleep, I heard her say from outside my door, "Do not go back to sleep unless you want to go back on the floor!"
I sighed as I walked towards my closet grabbed my outfit of choice for today. Well not really my choice, Caroline picked it out because she was against the idea of me wearing leggings and a hoddie. So instead I was wearing high waisted,black jean shorts and a daisy patterned crop top. I pulled my hair back into a French braid and did simply makeup, as I was more concerned about going to get breakfast than if my makeup was full out or not.
Luckily for me I was able to get out of the house and into my car unnoticed, and started to the grill for breakfast that's not really breakfast.
I walked in seeing Bonnie sitting by herself, I walked over, "Hey Bon!"
She smiled seeing it was me, "Hey Alex, ready to graduation today?"
I smirked, "You know it. I'm ready to get it over with." We both laughed as a waitress came over to take our order.

A-Caroline,where are you? After I went to the bathroom I couldn't find you, you disappeared.
C-I'm at the grill, at the party, where you should be.
A-I'll be there as soon as I can get my stuff in my car.
C-Alright, hurry please.
I hung up as I walked to my car holding my cap and gown in my hands. As I pushed the button to unlock my car I dropped the cap, as I turned around to grab it I hear that familiar, beautiful accent, "Hello love, I think you dropped this."
As I turned around the biggest smile was on my face, Klaus was back. Before I could think I dropped everything including my phone and jumped into his arms, "You're back! Missed you!" I said before kissing him.
As I pulled my head back to look at him still in his arms he smiled at me, "I missed you too,love."
I hopped from his arms and then my smile changed to anger and before I knew it I had slapped him across the face. "How dare you? I can't believe you left for two months! Two months Niklaus, with no phone call, no texts, hell not even an email! The only reason I knew for a fact you weren't dead was because my own sister wasn't!" I had tears in my eyes, I was hurt, he left me. I looked at the ground and whispered, "You just left me."
He had sadness in his eyes as he moved closer to me raising my chin up, "I'm sorry love, I was busy and I never intended to leave you. I would never."
I shook my head, "But you did, you left me and didn't even call me back. Two months Klaus, two months."
He sighed, "I'm sorry and I'm here now."
I scoffed, "Yeah you're here just in time to take me to New Orleans. That's why you care back now right? Because today is they day we agreed i would go there."
"Well I'm not here just for the party at the grill, Alex."
I rolled my eyes, " Well sorry but, I have to go to the grill. I'm late for the party, and Caroline will be mad if I'm not there."
As I walked away he grabbed my hand pulling me back to him, "Alex, I'm sorry."
"Sorry for what exactly, leaving for two months and not contacting me. Sorry for making me feel like my soulmate didn't love me back. Sorry for making me think that Caroline's joke was right, that after I put out you were done with me. Sorry for the fact that for Two months I felt like I couldn't talk to anyone about how I felt because I was the only one who missed you. So what are you sorry for Niklaus?"
He was shocked over the words I had just said, I mean I kind of just told him I loved him and claimed he just used me all in a few seconds.
"Alex," he started to move closer to me, "I'm sorry for it all, but I am here now."
I started to back away from him, I did love him I had realized how much I did a while after he left, but I was also so angry that he had left that, and he wasn't there when I was attacked, he didn't even know that I had been attacked, because he wasn't here.
"What was causing you to be so busy that you couldn't even call me back?" I head tears in my eyes a mixture of sadness and anger.
He walked towards me even though I was still moving back, he looked me into my eyes seeing the tears that were forming, "I wish I could tell you my love, but it would just put you in danger. Which leads me to inform you that there is a hunter on his way here to kill you."
I ended up bumping into my car, "Why?"
"Because you're with me, that has placed a target on your back. Don't worry love I will have him dead before he can lay a finger on you."
I scoffed, "Well you're a little late."
He was confused, "What do you mean accila?"
Sighing I raised up my already short crop top to relieve the gash that still hadn't healed, "It happed two days ago, the hunter used wolf's bane so it's taking its sweet time healing." I ended with a sarcastic smile.
