OK, what do you say to your homicidal, immortal, hot, sociopathic husband when you're currently not on speaking terms because he thinks that you're a liar and the slept with his brother (even though he doesn't know that part yet), when he's calling you? Don't know what to say? Me neither. Hence the reason I hung up the phone and started pacing my apartment erratically, dying inside and praying that some miracle will save me from this disaster – which obviously will not happen because I'm a vampire and practically everyone and thing is this world despise me because I'm not meant to exist.

Sighing, I sat down on my plush leather sofa and leant back, looking at my phone when it started ringing again. Damon.

I answered the phone; "hello gorgeous, how'd your little rendezvous go?"

"Fine, we got Jeremy back, Kol was there, beat me with a baseball bat and I kissed Elena."

"Kol was there?" I rushed out, instantly scolding myself for sounding so surprised.

"That's what you got from that? Not I kissed Elena?"

Trying to play my reaction off as cool, ignoring Damon's intruding tone; "I knew you and Elena would kiss, woman's intuition." He scoffed; I could practically hearing him roll his eyes at me.

"Why'd you say Kol's name like that?"

"Like what?" I looked around my apartment nonchalantly, trying to ignore the rising sense of dread that was quickly rising to the surface. Smothering it didn't work, and it practically bubbled over when Damon said; "like you care for him."

I scoffed, "Why would I care for him?"

"Jordyn." Damon said reproachfully, "what aren't you telling me?"

"I slept with him on the night of the Mikaelsen's ball."

Silence.

All I was met with was utter silence on the other end of the phone before and splutter of laughter and disbelief, "you slept with Kol? That's brilliant. What a way to get back at Klaus. Does Klaus know? Why aren't you dead if he knows? He doesn't know does he?" The questions were fired at me in about a space of a minute, making me calmer knowing that Damon didn't hate me for it.

"He knows now."

A cold voice spoke up from behind me. Damon went silent. I turned around to Klaus standing in my open doorway; I muttered a curse under my breath and hung up on Damon. That rising sense of dread just exploded out of me then and my breath caught as I was momentarily stunned.

"Klaus, I..."

"I knew it. I knew there was something going on between the two of you; at the ball, you were all over each other, at first I thought you were doing it to make me jealous," he walked further in and kicked my door shut, roaming around the island in the kitchen area, "but then, after that, whenever I'd see you, you'd smell like him, like you were in close proximity. But, I thought 'that's not possible, Kol's left' which is not true, because he's been here, with you." He made his way slowly into the lounge area and stopped in front of me, "how could you? How could you have sex with my brother? After everything that's happened? So soon after everything?"

I stood up, squaring my shoulder and looking him straight in the eye; "the same was you were swooning after Caroline before we even finished." Coldly, I turned my back on him and headed towards the door, opening it for him; "you can leave now."

He shook his head and stayed where he was, "that was different, I didn't act on my urges."

"You shouldn't have had any urges."

"Maybe you just weren't woman enough for me."

"Or maybe you couldn't handle this much woman."

Growling, he barged his way past me, bumping my shoulder and successfully knocking it out of its' socket. I grunted and watched as he turned back around; "Rebecca wanted you at the 20's dance tonight, don't ask me why, because I don't know, she hates you. But be there, just don't cause me any problems with Caroline." He growled.

"Uh-huh, wouldn't miss it for the world."

Klaus carried on his way, radiating many emotions off of his slightly slouched frame, mainly revulsion.

Groaning, I made my way back into my apartment, pushing my shoulder socket back into place, contemplating what I should were to the stupid 20's dance I was now obligated to attend.

I walked into my bedroom and rifled through some of my old favourite clothes that I take everywhere with me and found a few items from that period, placing them out onto my bed and started on choosing which things to wear.

After a few hours, I was ready, I opted for a black flapper dress, a pair of stockings, black heals and my favourite old black and red feather headband. Looking in the mirror, I noted that I looked exactly like I did back then, I even had my hair in the same styled curls, getting them to rest just above my shoulders so they framed my face.

Smirking slightly at my reflection, I headed towards the school building and merged into the crowed of rowdy teenagers trying to mimic the dancing of the 'Roaring 20's'.

I saw Damon in the crowd and walked over to him, he glanced down at my attire and smirked; "joining in with the festivities?"

"I was requested here by Rebecca, I want to know why. So, sometimes you have to dress up to blend in."

Damon nodded, "the dress suits you, makes you look ravishing."

"Well, if I'm as ravishing as you say, Mr. Salvatore, dance with me."

"Hmm, I have to speak to Elena and Stefan, but it can wait one dance," I laughed and moved closer to him, dancing along with the other teenagers, the only bonus is, I could dance better than them because I was actually there, so was Damon, and yes, it may have been an unfair advantage, but I don't always play fair.

When the song ended, I patted his chest," go find Elena and Stefan, I need to talk to Caroline anyway," he nodded and vanished into the crowd, much like I did.

I found Caroline sporting a red flapper dress and grinned, she looked over at me and smiled; "someone looks hot in her twenties clothing," she compliment, I laughed and bumped my hip with hers', smiling at Tyler slightly before turning back to her.

"So do you, only difference is, I was there, and the dancers were better than this lot," she grinned, "where's Klaus and Rebecca?"

"I saw Klaus earlier, and I doubt Rebecca's coming, otherwise she'd be here by now, it is her dance after all."

I nodded, thoroughly confused, pondering as to why I was requested here, I didn't notice as Damon and Stefan mad their way with Jeremy out of the building until I focussed my hearing to try and find out where Rebecca was; "Your mother's back," so Klaus was here, outside and something was wrong, I looked out the door and groaned, we were bounded in by a spell.

A few minutes later, we had all of the students we could compel leaving, and the others following suit, thinking the party was moving onwards, which, in some people's cases, it probably was. I groaned and sat down on one of the bleachers, Damon dropped beside me, "Bonnie's working on getting us out of here, Caroline's trying to reassure everyone and Klaus is making threats, somehow, this is becoming normal."

I chuckled and glanced sideways at it; "why bother with the dances, whenever the school has one, someone kidnaps or attempts to kidnap Elena, Bonnie uses magic and Caroline tries to help save the day, but it's usually you or Stefan who does – even though you're too stubborn and proud to admit you're the good guy occasionally."

"If everyone knows you're the good guy, they come to expect it, I don't want anyone expecting anything from me."

"Why? Because you think you'll fail them?"

"I know I will."

"You don't give yourself enough credit; you're always there when people need you most, yes, your methods are unconventional and usually end in the death of a person or two, but when it comes right down to it, you'll always do the thing that saves the lives of the people you care about most, even if it means upsetting them, and then you let Stefan swoop in, comfort everyone and take all the glory – and all because you don't want anyone to expect more from you than a killer." He looked back at me, "well, tough luck sexy, I expect a whole damn lot from you, because in the end, tonight, it's going to be you who saves the people you care about, not Stefan, not Elena, but you and some stupid, reckless decision you make." His lip quirked in a half smile and he nudged my shoulder gently with his before we fell into silence, listening to Bonnie's intent muttering on trying to break the boundary spell.

Suddenly, Bonnie's muttering stop, the boundary was lifted and Damon stood; "Off to save the day, hero," I called after him as he walked out to where Stefan and Klaus were talking, intervening and claiming possession over Stefan when Klaus claimed they had brotherhood.

I walked to where Bonnie was, "you okay?"

She nodded, "nothing ever goes right in this town."

"Welcome to Mystic Falls, you're lucky if you get out alive," I muttered and then we sat in silence for half an hour, Bonnie and her new boyfriend affectionately looking at each other every now and then.

My phone started ringing, "Hello Damon," he sounded slightly distressed when he replied; "Alaric's dying." He hung up then, that's all I needed, I grabbed Bonnie and her new boyfriend and tracked Damon down in the forest, Elena just walked out of a crypt after Jeremy crying. Meredith was there, tears in her eyes, Damon must have called her as well.

Caroline spotted me and handed me a candle, just as Alaric emerged for what would probably be his last time, Damon nodded at me in thanks as we stood there in silence, in respect, and most in sadness.

Ric's eyes roamed over all of us, stopping on Elena and Jeremy and then onto Damon before walking back into the crypt, slamming the gate behind him and settling into his foreboding darkness.

After a few minutes, everyone dispersed and I walked over to Damon, hooking an arm around his waist. His jaw clenched and he looked straight ahead, "Damon, don't try and be brave for once, go say your proper goodbye, Damon style, involving lot's of alcohol and final heartfelt words, you'll regret it if you don't."

He glanced down at me and then walked over to Meredith as I headed back in the direction of my apartment, pulling the stupid headband from my head and kicking the door shut behind me after I got in.

"Wow, someone's in a bad mood," a dry English voice spoke up from the living area.

Kol was draped casually on one of my couches, looking as if he never left. Suddenly, he was standing up, "nice dress. What did I miss."

I glared at him and walked into my room, shutting my door, stripping down from my ridiculous attire and putting on my nightclothes before settling into bed, not bothering with removing my makeup.

Elena and Jeremy have lost another person because of Klaus and his stupid family. Rage burned beneath the surface of my skin, I could relate, I'd lost everything to Klaus as well, though my story is more twisted because I loved him.

A knock came silently at my door before Kol popped his head in, frowning, I turned my back on him and looked out of my window, hoping he would just leave. He didn't. Instead, he nudged me over gently and climbed in the sheets behind me before pulling me to his body and holding on to me without even thinking I settled comfortably against him, my earlier rage starting to subside.

We just lay there silently for a while, me watching as clouds fritted in the sky and Kol holding me with one arm, while his other her used to rub up and down one of my arms. "Whatever it is," he spoke finally, "it can't be the worst you've faced."

"Damon's lost another friend. Elena and Jeremy have lost their family."

"That's not what's really riling you up, it's just an excuse so you can be mad at something other than what you're really angry and probably afraid of," I growled at him, "tell me."

Try your brother finding out we slept together."

His hand froze for a moment before resuming its pattern of rubbing up and down my arm; "he'll get over it, his ego's just wounded."

"How can you be so at ease about it?"

Kol shrugged, "Klaus hasn't killed either of us yet, and what we have going here is good, it works, and you're not in his way, he can't complain."

"What do you think is going on here Kol?"

"I have no idea, but it's not the worst thing I've ever experienced."

I chuckled and shook my head slightly, "see, you're happier already, so it's got to be good." Carefully, he kissed my neck before settling down more comfortably behind me.

I don't know when I fell asleep, one moment I was awake and warm, and the next, I was in darkness, but still comforted.
