I Need The Truth

I walk out of the room, raging. And then I run down the stairs, trying to get to Elle as fast as I can. Because I want to be the one to comfort her right now.

ELLE'S POV

I feel myself being pulled away from Damon after a few minutes. Maybe I'm just being over dramatic, but having someone as close to you has Bonnie is to me betraying you hurts.

It hurts a lot.

I feel Kai's arms wrap around me as he leads us to the front door.

"We're going home. I'll call you guys later." He says to everyone.

I hear everybody say goodbye, and Kai opens the door, shutting it behind us. After it closes, he picks me up, cupping his arm under my legs and his other arm underneath my back.

"How about we go home and go to sleep, yeah?" He asks softly. I nod against his chest.

I hear the car door opening and then I'm being placed in the passenger seat. Kai kisses my forehead.

"I love you, angel." He whispers.

And then my eyes close, and I can feel myself drifting to sleep.

"Elle? We're home, baby." I hear Kai whisper. I groan, shifting over in the passenger seat.

"Yeah, okay, thought so." He says to himself.

The car door opens, then closes. And then my door opens, and I feel Kai's arms wrapping around me as he takes me out of the car. I rest my head on his chest, feeling him walk as I hear our apartment door open.

All I can comprehend is Kai setting me down on our bed, taking my shoes off and pulling the covers over me. I hear shuffling and then a small thud before I feel Kai's chest against my back. I turn around, so I can see his face.

"I'm sorry." I whisper out. His hand comes up to my face, his fingers brushing over my cheek.

"For what, princess?" He asks softly, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"I'm making this about me when it's not. It's about what Bonnie feels for you, it really doesn't involve me." I explain, letting my head fall down.

Kai's fingers grasp my chin, lifting my head back up to look at him.

"Bonnie broke your trust. This is all about you," Kai states. "Plus, I wouldn't be very happy if my brother proclaimed his love to you by telling me."

I let out a giggle because Brandon did- or does- in fact love me. Or liked me. I'm not sure what the extent was or is.

Kai laughs as soon as he gets it.

"Okay, well-" He trails off.

"Crazy how things work, right? Maybe Brandon and Bonnie should date each other. I'm sure they'd both enjoy that." I state quietly. Kai gives me a weak smile.

"So you understand that you're not being selfish by being upset, right?" He asks. I nod slowly even though I still feel shitty for making this about me.
