Hello there :) So this is my first fanfic, this plot has been in my head for quite some time now and I guess I wanted to let it all out, i'm still not sure whether to carry on or not... guess it's first time nerves?
Sypnopsis/Summary: 7 years ago, Damon broke Elena's heart all because of a stupid bet made by Tyler Lockwood. He moved away from Mystic Falls never wanting to come back but now Damon's best friend, Klaus is getting married to Caroline who is Elena's best friend and guess who's been chosen to be the best man and maid of honour? Damon thinks it's his chance to apologise to Elena for her heart-break that he caused...little did he know that it was much more than that. ALL HUMAN.
PAST- Mystic Falls High School, September,2007
DAMON'S POV
It was after school and it was time for practise, I walked on the football ground making my way towards the boys who were checking out the cheerleaders with their mouths gaped open, I rolled my eyes.
"Boys; stop drooling. Especially you, Lockwood." I punched his stomach hard so that he could return from his trance.
"It's not our fault; we have some pretty good-looking girls in this school." My dearest cousin, Stefan said looking at the girls appreciatively in the corner of his eye.
"GOOD LOOKING? THEY'RE NOT JUST GOOD LOOKING! THEY ARE HOT LOOKING CHICS." Tyler shouted while pointing towards the 5 girls who turned around to look directly at us and started to make their way over.
"Great, just what we need, thanks a lot Lockwood! You made the cheery bimbos make their way over." I clapped sarcastically
"Watch it Salvatore, just remember who holds all the best parties." Caroline smirked making her grand entrance
"Oh yes, and do you remember what happened at one of those parties?" I wiggled my eyebrows suggestively and took a strand of her blonde hair curling it up with my finger.
She snatched her hair back and stepped one step closer so that we were literally face to face, "Go to hell."
"I'll see you there." I whispered loud enough so that everyone could hear and heard some snickers from the boys.
I stepped back a looked at the cheerleader's one by one, Bonnie who gave me a death glare (as usual), Hayley who was giving me suggestive looks (maybe I could hook up with her tonight), Rebekah who looked absolutely bored and some other girl who I've never seen before but she looked exactly like my ex-girlfriend Katherine…but hotter. Time to play the Salvatore charms.
"Hey there, new girl. If I were you, I wouldn't recommend being friends with Caroline, she may seem all kind but she's annoying as hell." I stepped towards the Katherine look-alike and gave her my best Salvatore grin, my grin turned into a smirk when she smiled and stepped forward so that she was literally 1cm away from me…mmmm, she smelled like strawberries,
"Firstly I'm not a new girl, I've been going to this school the same amount of time you and everyone else here has attended this school. Secondly, don't tell me what to do. Salvawhore." She smirked and walked off, leaving me very confused and stumped.
Caroline must've seen my confusion and started laughing along with the rest of the people around us, "Why are you looking so confused Damon? I know what you're thinking…how does she look so much like Katherine? Well let me tell you this, she's Katherine's cousin." And the same to what Katherine's cousin did, she walked off with the rest of the girls following behind,still laughing at my confusion.
I turned around to the boys who had shock written all over the face, "What?" I asked a tiny bit embarrassed that I my charm didn't work on the Katherine look-alike.
"How the hell did you not notice ELENA GILBERT throughout your whole time here? It's senior year Damon and puberty did a damn well good job on ELENA GILBERT!" Tyler shouted angrily
OH, so that's her name…Elena Gilbert. Nice name to match with her nice body. Klaus patted my back, "Tyler, give Damon a rest. If you haven't noticed Damon here, has been love struck towards her cousin Katherine throughout these whole years. It's a shame she graduated and dumped your ass for my older brother Elijah." He said in mock sympathy.
"Shut up, let's go and start practising." I growled, I looked at Stefan who was silently laughing.
"What the hell are you laughing at Stefan?" I asked angrily
"Salvawhore, that's got to go on the top of the list for nicknames girls have given you, and she didn't even fall for the Salvatore charm! You're loosing your touch Damon Salvawhore" Stefan said laughing which caused the rest of the boys to laugh their heads off. I sighed, "I'm surrounded by idiots." I muttered and walked off with the thoughts of Elena Gilbert swirling around my head.
Present-Denver, Damon's Apartment 2013
I woke up to the sound of my alarm, I grumbled wanting to go back to the old memory of the first meeting of her. "Are you going to turn that thing off?"My latest female conquest moaned.
I turned off my alarm, flipped to my side and glared at her, "Look here…." What was her name again? Sally, not wait... Sandy, Mandy...ANDIE! That's it. "Look here Andie, why don't you stop telling me what to do and get the hell out of my apartment? I would prefer if you'd never come back." I snapped
I laid back down, my face facing the pillow not wanting to watch another girly episode of crying, I hate it when girls cry, and I always never know what to do. It reminded me of her; Elena Gilbert. From the sound of Andie's sobs I could already tell that she was bawling her eyes out but I could also tell that she was trying to act strong as she quickly changed as quickly as she could, trying as hard as she could to rush out of my apartment. After hearing the front door slam shut, I jumped out of my bed and hopped into the shower washing off all of last nights happenings; today's the day I go back to great, old Mystic Falls. I left Mystic Falls with my buddy Klaus straight after High School; fully intending to never come back but here I am 6 years later needed to come back because of my Buddy Klaus's wedding planning. Out of all the women out there, he just had to ask CAROLINE FORBES to marry him. Their love story (from my point of view) was that, after high school me and Klaus went to the same university, happy with our lives; partying, sleeping around, getting drunk every night but then Klaus went home to Mystic Falls on summer '09 and comes back and tells me that he is in love with Caroline. CAROLINE FRICKING FORBES. Ever since then they started to have this long distance relationship for another two years (I thought...No, I actually believed that it wasn't going to work out but I was wrong. VERY WRONG.), the partying lessened therefor no more fun. Whenever we actually talked it was normally these long ass conversations about Caroline. You couldn't believe how relieved I was when he said he was moving back to Mystic Falls after graduation but I did get a bit upset that I was going to be alone and my buddy was going but I was happy for him. Since I was chosen to be his best man and because of the fact that I'm his -as what Caroline would call it- "BFF!" he needed me to be there, he said something about how all the women in his household including Bridezilla Barbie (a.k.a Caroline) was slowly driving him mad... Not surprising at all. Maybe his wedding present from me should just be a whole lifetime supply of prayers; he's going to need it. I quickly got changed, took my suitcase from under my bed and started packing, I wonder if anything in Mystic Falls changed? Was everyone still the same? Was Elena still the same? Is she still…DON'T GO THERE DAMON. YOU'VE MOVED ON REMEMBER?
My thoughts were disrupted by the sound of my phone ringing, "Caroline, nice to hear your voice early in the morning." I said sarcastically
"Where the hell are you? Klaus is driving me mad. He won't shut up about you! Some of us have a wedding to plan! I swear, if you're not at least halfway here, you are going to be castrated in your sleep." She screamed
"Well…I'm still at home." I mumbled
"WHAT?! DAMON, GET OUT OF YOUR APARTMENT RIGHT NOW!" Caroline screeched
"But-" I stopped, I couldn't speak. I heard her voice on the other side
"Care, can you turn it down just a little? Some of us need a bit more of sleep." Elena said, her voice still sounding angelic
"Elena, since you're my maid of honour how about you handle this Damon situation, he is the Best Man after all. Too much stress is bad for me." Caroline spoke
WHAT?! Elena was the maid of honour? Like this could get any more awkward. I quickly hung up the phone. I couldn't face her now, I'm not ready yet. I can't face the guilt. It's too much. Maybe you need this, it's better for both of you; this is your chance to fix everything, the voice inside my head whispered. Once I gathered everything I needed and put it in the boot of my precious Camaro, I turned my precious baby on and drove towards Mystic Falls preparing myself mentally for this day ahead. I'm going to apologise to her and beg for her forgiveness, this is my chance to fix everything.
Present- Mystic Falls, Klaus's family Mansion
Elena's POV
"Elena, since you're my maid of honour how about you handle this Damon situation, he is the Best Man after all. Too much stress is bad for me." Caroline spoke looking at me with a pout, her hands stretched out with her mobile phone.
I glared at her and shook my head and mouthed 'no', I didn't want to talk to him. I flipped myself onto my stomach ignoring Carolines persistant methods to get me to talk to him and started to doze off to sleep with worry filled into my brain. He was meant to stay in Denver and never come back. An hour later, I woke up with a stiff neck; Damn these sofas. I rolled off the couch and made my way to the kitchen where Klaus was cooking brunch.
"Good Morning Elena! It's a wonderful day today, are you doing anything today? I know what I'm doing, spending a whole day away from all this girly stuff and spend it with my buddy Da-.." He trailed off suddenly realising what he was going to say next and smiled looking very guilty, "Sorry got a bit carried away…"
I smiled at his facial expression, "Its fine. Da-Dam…He's your best friend and your best man. Just because I'm here doesn't mean you should feel restricted, I can tell that Damon's very important in your life. I've moved on, it's been 7 years, I haven't forgotten but I moved on." I said convincingly more to myself than to Klaus. Don't you dare cry Elena Gilbert, You're stronger than this. You've wasted enough tears on him.
Klaus pulled me into a hug, "Everything will be okay in the end, just wait and see." He said rubbing my back comfortingly while I let the tears pour.
"KLAUS! WHY IS MY MAID OF HONOUR CRYING, WHAT DID YOU DO NOW?" Caroline yelled
I felt him tense up and let me go, "I didn't do anything! I was being a prefect gentleman, you know how I don't like women crying, especially beautiful ones." He turned and winked at me; I blushed and went to sit down on the kitchen counter helping myself to a big stack of chocolate chip pancakes.
"ELENAAA!" Caroline screeched
I jumped, "What?" I screamed, scared that there was a rat or something crawling around.
"You can't eat those, those are full of calories. And calories are BAD. VERY BAD. You wouldn't want to wear a bridesmaid dress that doesn't fit you." She stated making her way towards me with outstretched arms, oh no. I stood up gripping onto the plate of pancakes.
"No, no, nuh-uh. There is no way in hell you're taking my pancakes. Klaus tell your fiancé she can't take my pancakes!" I shouted giving him my best puppy dog eyes and pout.
"Well isn't this cute?" I froze, it was him, and he was here. I wasn't ready. The next thing I knew my plate of pancakes fell from my hand; I closed my eyes not wanting to see that familiar smirk that I used to love. Maybe if I closed my eyes, I would magically disappear.
"DAMON! You're here!" Klaus cheered
I gulped. I'm screwed.
Urrmm, yeah...Sorry if there's any mistakes. What do you guys think? Should I carry on? :)
