The Vampire Diaries

"Thanks…. I'll only need it to get to work." Adam whispered

Kol just handed him the keys and got out.

He took they keys and followed, asking before they got into the house,  "Dad, does mum know? If not you should tell her, bet you've been acting upset."

"Your mother doesn't need to know, she'll be upset. Probably interpret it as me wanting a kid or loving Olivia or something."

"What if we make a deal? I'll finish with Ollie if you tell mum?   I bet she knows your upset so don't see what the issue with telling her would be."

---

"You finish with Olivia if you want to. I'm not making you and I'm not bargaining with you in order to do it."

"I just think you should tell her, dad. You'll end up arguing if you don't, you did when you were upset about Eri and keeping it secret. I remember hearing…" Adam replied before heading inside .

Kol just shook his head and followed behind him.

I'm sorry Mal. I know I shouldn't have said what I said. I know I shouldn't and I don't expect you to give up Trinity, I guess I just hoped you'd have been willing to do anything to keep your sister happy should she be around again, but I know it's not your job. I'm sorry, I understand if you don't wan to speak again for a while. Bjorn text Malvolio a while later.

((So apparently Tatia is coming onto the show, stronger than Klaus and wanting revenge against the brothers....))

(( No! She needs to come on and vein love with Klaus and the amazing ship needs to happen.   I'm not sure how to feel about this occurrence. ))

"Hey you two," Astrid greeted.

---

It's fine. I'm used to people - family - being like that. Everyone is like it, at least you have the decency to see why I'm not happy about it though so thanks…. I'll speak to you sometime next week. I want to spend some proper time with Trin and Saff. 

((Apparently the reason Claire left is because they were planning to have Tatia kill Rebekah off and she was really pissed that they were going to kill her off so she left before they could do it, forcing them to downgrade her to a guest star rather than kill her off))

---

Once again Mal, I'm sorry. I was wrong in what I said.

---

Kol just bowed his head in greeting.

(( Oohh that's interesting, fair enough on Claire's part.   I'll still be gutted if Tatia doesn't fall for Klaus though…. Why would she want revenge on them, though? It's not their fault, what happened to her ))

---

Like I said, it's fine. I'm used to it. You're forgiven. 

---

Astrid walked to Kol and slid her arms around him gently.

You shouldn't be. It's not fair the way you've been treated. Sorry

---

Kol hugged her back. "Adam was going to get back with Olivia but I convinced him otherwise. He's probably going to speak to her later to call it all off."

"Stupid boy, she hurt him. He's too good for her." Astrid whispered with a sigh, brushing her fingertips through his hair affectionately, "How did you convince him otherwise?"

---

I said your forgiven…. Thank you for apologising.

let me know if you need me.

---

"Just reminded him how much she hurt him, she could do it again. He's probably going to try and sneak out to see her since I let him use my car."

I will. You too dad. Malvolio text back before putting his phone into his pocket and calling, " Trin?"

---

"He's a fool if he does."

"He'll probably go to say goodbye. He won't just not tell her."

"Mm," She hummed before whispering softly, "Is there anything on your mind?"

"Nothing."

---

You haven't called. I'm getting worried x Olivia text Adam a few hours later.

"Up here Mal!" Trinity called from up in their bedroom where she was going through a few things.

We need to meet up Ollie... Adam text back after a few moments of hesitation.

---

"I'm not stupid, pretty boy. You haven't been sleeping well, been mumbling in your sleep. I haven't said anything because I thought you'd tell me eventually but it seems your not going to so I have to ask now."

---

Malvolio headed up the stairs to their room and slid his arms around her waist, kissing her neck gently and telling her softly, "I love you. Sorry if I've been neglecting you lately."

Theres no need, I know what you're going to say. I understand. Goodbye Adam, thanks for the memories.

---

"Nothing. Just worried about Eri."

Trinity pushed the small box aside and gently pulled him to her tangling her fingers in his hair as she pressed her forehead to his whispering. "I love you too Mal but what's this about hmm?"

I believe you, I really do but long term... my dads really hurt, and I love you, I really do but I don't want to hurt him by being with you.

---

"Are you sure that's all it is?" Astrid asked quietly before whispering, "We could give her and Karl a call, see how they're both doing."

---

"Nothing, I've just missed you... Not given you enough attention recently." Malvolio replied, closing his eyes.

I understand. Don't worry, you won't run into me again, I'll make sure I stay clear of you all. You don't have to pretend to love me, or believe me when you probably don't. I hope you find someone who doesn't hurt you, hope you have a good life Adam, goodbye. Olivia text him before putting her phone down and packing up her clothes.

---

"They never answer or when they do they hang up when they know it's not important."

"Mmm," Astrid hummed softly in agreement with him. "But if we keep trying to phone them then they at least know we want to speak to them, right?" he asked quietly.

---

But I do love you Ollie, and I do believe you...
