CHAPTER 61

I scrolled through the alerts. Rebekah called me 7 times.

Joel called me 6 times.

Cliff called me 6 times.

Renee called me 4 times.

Ace called me 3 times.

And Melonie called me once.

I felt a pang of something when I realized Kol hadn't called me to ask where I was and I was supposed to be sleeping in the same bed with him last night. Surely, he

should have noticed I was gone, right? Hell, even Melonie called me! I felt exausted despite my good night's sleep, but I ignored the feel and went through the text messages.

Rebekah:

You didn't tell me where you were

Are you safe?

Answer my calls please

KATERINA BATHAS!!

Where the hell are you?

You're scaring the hell out of everyone!!

Okay, you're so lucky it's your birthday.

Cliff:

Kat, I'm sorry. Please, pick up the phone.

I'm sorry. Please just come home!!

Joel:

I am so sorry. Come home Kat, please.
