Stefan Salvatore's daughter ~ Miracle

108. Revenge is a dish best savored cold

- Definitely in denial, insists, Stefan.

- Yeah. Look, Bonnie, I turn to face her a bit more as I speak with seriousness. I've already lost you once. We're not doing this again. It's not an option, ok? Not to mention what's gonna happen to Alaric and your Grams and everyone else over there. So what are we gonna do? I remind her before asking her what her plan will be stop the Other Side from falling apart.

- Fine. If you guys promise to stop hovering, I'll ask Liv if she has any witchy ideas, she says as she looks behind me with a slight frown. She must have seen Liv... She works here... I know Bonnie isn't very found of her but it's either she asks Liv or... There's the shame of the Salvatore family who fled a good week ago, if not more by now, but incapable as she is, she probably wouldn't know what to do. Idiot... Besides, don't we have bigger problems with those Travelers trying to take over Mystic Falls? Asks, bonnie, surprised that we're here studying.

- Oh, no. Damon's already on that, answers, Stefan. Wait, what?

- He is? I ask the vampire.

- Did I say Damon? What I meant to say was George, he corrects himself, giving me a smile. Right... I sigh as I turn to look back at Bonnie. My best friend looks confused at me.

- Damon said that he never wanted to see me again, I confess to her, sadly. I guess we're both in denial, I admit, crossing my arms over my chest. I hate this...

- Okay, guys, get ready for the next questions. I'll give you five minutes. I need to go to the bathroom, tells us, Stefan, as he stands up and starts to walk towards the bathroom of the restaurant. Well... I guess we don't have a choice.

Stefan's P.O.V.

I enter the bathroom and check if there's someone in here. Empty. Good. I lock the door and take my phone out. I hope no one will try to come in...

I miss Gillian... I miss my little girl so much. Not having her living in Mystic Falls, next to my home, seeing her face every day, watching her raising Meryll with Kol... She's what I've done best in my crapy life, and yet, I'm ruining her life constantly.

I've been wanting to call her for days now. I never got the courage to do it... But I have to at some point. I have to repare what I broke with her. She's my baby...

With slight shaking hands, I grab my phone and look for her phone number. She probably won't pick up... But I'll leave a voicemail. Okay, deep breath and...

Gillian's P.O.V.

Kol just walked out from our bedroom to go get us some coffee and something to eat for breakfast. We didn't really sleep last night... We... Well, we live fully our now married life if I can say it that way. I enjoyed every second of it and so did he. I haven't felt that good since a while. One, because I realize one of my dreams, which was to get married to Kol. Even though the wedding wasn't as I thought it would happen, this one is official, and we'll do another one laterl ike we said. Two, because for once, nothing bad happened while we had a good time. It was just the two of us, living normally and peacefully. It's rare...

I smile and spin on myself before lying on the bed. I'm going to miss this huge princess bed. Oh! My phone is buzzing. I get up and go pick it up from the night stand. It's probably Liz trying to reach me... Oh... What should I do? Should I answer or not? I... I didn't think he would be calling me, especially after all those days that passed by. Why would he after what he has done, anyway? I remind him too much of mom... Oh f*ck!

- Hello? I say right after answering the phone call.

- Hi...! I'm... I'm sorry, I didn't think you would pick my call up, I hear my father replying, sounding surprised and happy at the same time. Probably thought he would have ended up on my voicemail once more...
