I'll never love again [1]

PLAN B

Everything was okay.

She stood up and went to her wardrobe looking for something to wear. Given that she would be moving a lot today she chose to wear a grey tee and grey jeans, paired up with black converse. She got dressed quickly and brushed her teeth. She then went back to her room and brushed her hair, putting it in a ponytail after. Before leaving her bedroom she looked at her night stand and saw the ring Katherine had given her a few days ago. She debated whether to put it on or not. It wouldn't hurt to try it. She put it on and opened her door. Before she kept going she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Everything would be okay.

Nat went down the stairs and saw Jenna already turning the car on. She heard the stairs and saw Elena come down quickly.

"Hey, Nat. You okay? You seemed... weird earlier." Elena told her, worry clear in her face.

"Yeah, yeah. I just- Bad dream, you know?" She swallowed, already walking out of the house.

"What type of bad dream?" Elena pressed on.

"Nothing to worry about, Lena. Just something silly." She looked like she wanted to keep asking her about it, so Nat opened the car door and got inside.

"Hey Jenna."

"Hey, you girls ready?" She said looking in between them. They nodded and Jenna drove off. After a few minutes they got to the Lockwood Mansion and found it full of people already decorating it. The three of them got out of the car and went inside to find Carol. Once they saw her they waved at her.

"Girls, Jenna. Hi." They smiled at her. She turned to the twins. "Why don't you two go outside to help sort out the masks?" They nodded and left Jenna with Carol.

"Are you gonna see Caroline later today?" Elena asked Nat,

"Yeah, I'm gonna drop by the Boarding House after I finish up here."

"Good, good. She'll need you there." Nat nodded but both of them got distracted as they saw Bonnie passing by carrying a box. They look at each other before walking over to her. They stop by her side and she turns to them.

"You're here." Elena says.

"I'm here." Bonnie glances around and Nat knows she's looking for Caroline.

"Caroline's not coming. I told you." She tells the witch.

"Just making sure."

"You know, eventually you're gonna have to talk to her." Elena tells her.

"Could you make it a little less obvious you're on her side?" She says frowning.

"There are no sides, Bonnie."

"Come on! Since Caroline became a vampire we barely see each other. Losing Caroline was bad enough, I didn't think I'd lose you too." She tells Elena and the latter sighs before taking her hand.

"Come with me."

"Where?"

"Not here. Some place quiet. We have to talk." She started leading her away and turned to Nat.

"You go, I'll stay here and help around."  They nodded and left. Nat walked around for a bit before she saw Stefan setting some stuff up.

"Hey." She said walking up to him.

"Hey, Nat. How have you been?"

"Good, and you? Haven't seen you around the house." She tells him.

"Yeah, Elena and I... we, uh-"

"Cut the crap, I know you two were fake fighting." She smirked at him, to which he sighed and laughed. "You're not as sneaky as you think you are." He nods and looks down. She sobers up and speaks out. "Was it because of Katherine? The fake fighting."
