A/N:
Hey, guys! I'm back!
I was so excited that everyone wanted a sequel. Actually, when I first wrote 'I'm Coming Back To You' I didn't think it'd be very popular. But it was!
Anyways, here's the sequel!
I stood in the kitchen of mine and Damon's apartment cooking dinner for couples' night when I felt Damon's arms wrap around me.
I smiled and I leaned my head back on his shoulder. "Hey."
"Hey." He replied. "When is everyone coming?" He asked.
I glanced at the clock. "In half an hour." I said as I turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"And who is Caroline bringing this time?" Damon asked jokingly.
I laughed. "One of Rebekah's brother's."
"Please tell me it's not Kol."
I laughed again. "It's not Kol. It's Klaus."
"I'll never trust a guy with the name Klaus."
I leaned up to kiss him but we were soon interrupted by the timer on the oven going off.
"And there's the timer." I said as I turned around again.
Me and Damon had been together for a year and things had been running pretty smoothly.
"Are Jeremy and Anna bringing Paige?" Damon asked as he leaned on the counter beside me.
I shook my head, looking up at him. "No. They're dropping her off at Pearl's." I said. "Which is good. I mean, I love Paige, but tonight is couples' night. And besides, Jeremy and Anna need a break."
"I sorta still can't believe Jeremy's a dad."
"I still can't believe my baby brother got married." I said. "Ya know, a few years ago, everyone thought Bonnie and Jeremy were gonna end up together." I laughed. "They were such a messed up couple."
"Well, so were we." Damon pointed out. "But we ended up together."
I smiled and nodded. "True."
The doorbell rang and I walked to the door quickly as I untied my apron.
I opened the door revealing Caroline, Klaus, Stefan, Rebekah and Bonnie.
"Hey, guys." I greeted them. "Come in."
They all walked into the apartment, looking around to see the newly furnished and decorated apartment.
"I like what you've done with the place." Stefan said.
"Thanks." I replied, smiling slightly as we walked into the kitchen. "The food's almost done." I told them before glancing at the clock. "Jeremy and Anna should be here any minute now."
I quickly looked Klaus over. He was wearing a black T-shirt and dark jeans with a few necklaces around his neck and a bracelet around his left wrist.
Ever since Caroline had finally gotten over Matt, it seemed like she was with a different guy every week. Matt however, had only dated two girls since the breakup,
"Is Matt coming?" Bonnie asked as she set a bottle of red wine down on the counter carefully. She looked up at me expectantly and pushed a strand of her black hair behind her ear.
I nodded and smiled. "Yep. He's bringing his new girlfriend, too."
I could see Caroline tense up at the statement. "Great." Caroline mumbled, dragging out the 'ea' sound. She quickly poured herself a glass of wine and took a sip. "So what's the name of the whore?" She asked before looking around to see Klaus wasn't listening in, but looked pleased when she found him in deep conversation with Stefan and Damon.
I rolled my eyes and laughed slightly. "Her name is April. And as far as I know, she's not a prostitute." I said somewhat jokingly.
Caroline raised her eyebrow slightly before we heard the doorbell again.
"That must be Jeremy and Anna…Or Matt and April." I said before jogging to the front door again.
I opened it to see a Jeremy and a very tired looking Anna. "Hey, guys." I greeted them.
"Hey." They replied in unison. "We brought cheesecake." Anna added.
I smiled and let them in. "How's Paige been doing?" I asked them.
"Good." Anna replied. "She's sleeping through the night now."
"That's good." I said as we entered the kitchen. "You can put the cheesecake in the fridge." I told them.
Jeremy nodded and walked over to the fridge while Anna sat down at the island in the middle of the room.
Just as started putting the food down on the dining room table, I heard the doorbell again.
"Damon, can you get that?" I asked him loudly from the dining room.
"Yep." Damon replied before leaving the room.
"So when are you two gonna get married?" Rebekah asked suddenly as her, Anna, Bonnie and Caroline entered the small room with plates and silverware.
I laughed. "Will you guys stop? We're not even engaged yet!" I said. Ever since we had gotten back together, the girls had been bugging me constantly with question about when we were going to get married.
"Well you should be!" Caroline said. "I want to be a bridesmaid!" She complained as she set the table.
"You were my bridesmaid not even three months ago!" Anna said.
"Well I want to be one again." Caroline pouted.
I laughed. "I'm not sure when we'll get married. I mean, I know it will happen eventually, but we haven't thought that far ahead yet. Or at least I haven't." I told them.
"You guys are so lucky to be in relationships." Bonnie whined. "It's like my perfume is some sort of guy repellant or something. I mean, I'm twenty-four and I've only ever been in one relationship."
"I could set you up with one of my brothers." Rebekah offered.
Bonnie laughed. "The only ones left are Kol and Henrik."
"So?"
"Henrik is fifteen and I am never going to go out with Kol. Ever." Bonnie told her.
Rebekah looked unconvinced. "Alright, then."
We walked back into the kitchen and saw Matt with a beautiful girl. The girl had wavy black hair and light blue eyes with fair skin. She was wearing a simple black T-shirt and denim shorts.
"Hi, I'm April." The girl introduced herself to us.
"I'm Elena." I said. "And this is Anna, Rebekah, Bonnie, and Caroline."
April just gave us a shy smile and stayed close to Matt.
Everyone started to pile into the dining room and sat down around the table next to their partners.
"So how has it been with Paige?" Caroline asked Jeremy and Anna.
Anna smiled. "It was a little hard to get used to, but I think I got down now."
"You have a baby?" April asked.
"Yep." Jeremy and Anna replied in unison.
April smiled. "How old?"
"Five months." Anna told her.
"That's a fun age." April stated. "I babysat kids the kids in my neighborhood all throughout high school."
April seemed uncomfortable, which was understandable considering we had all known each other most of our lives and she had never met most of us before.
"So, April, are you going to school?" Stefan asked.
"I'm starting my first semester at UCLA in August." She replied.
"I went to UCLA for about a year, but I ended up transferring to NYU after I moved." I said, joining in on the conversation. "What are you majoring in?" I asked.
"Journalism." April replied.
"I don't writing in a diary all day counts as a career." Caroline said rudely.
"Care…" Matt sighed quietly as he closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose.
"You're causing a scene." Klaus told his girlfriend quietly.
April just sat there awkwardly, looking down at her food.
I felt bad for Matt. He was just trying to introduce his girlfriend to his friends, but instead, his ex caused a scene instead.
An hour later, we were all done eating and moving on to dessert. And best of all, some of the awkwardness between Caroline and April was gone.
"How has recording been going?" Matt asked me.
"It's been alright." I replied.
After Damon and I had gotten back together, I told my agent, Camille, that I wanted to start working on an album. I still was still guest starring on random TV shows every now and then, but I was finally focusing on music.
"You should play us something after we're done." Damon suggested.
I nodded and agreement and we all went back to eating.
"So how long have you two been together?" April asked me and Damon, taking a sip of her wine.
Damon and I glanced at each other. Neither of us knew how to answer that.
"Uh…Five years." I replied nervously. Technically it wasn't a lie. We had dated for four years, and then had been back together for one.
"Wow, that's a long time." April said.
Suddenly Stefan glanced at the clock and whispered something to Damon, followed by Damon giving him a nod.
'What?' I thought.
"So April, are you from around here?" I asked.
April shook her head. "Nope. I'm originally from Mystic Falls, Virginia." She said.
"No way!" Anna exclaimed. "I grew up there!"
April smiled. "I'm surprised we haven't met. It's a really small town."
I zoned out of the conversation as they continued to tell stories about what it was like growing up in Mystic Falls.
I couldn't help but wonder about what was going on between Stefan and Damon.
"Uh, I would just like to say something," Damon started, loud enough to get everyone else to quiet down. Everyone looked at him.
He then turned to me and took my hands. "Elena, from the moment I met you, I just knew that you were the one." He said, making every girl say 'aww' and me blush. "I mean, it took a little while to say it, but I knew."
"And somehow, even when we were apart for three years, I knew that we'd end up together. Actually, I'm pretty sure Rebekah knew, too, because she wouldn't stop nagging me about it." We all laughed.
"Anyway, the point is, I love you. I always have, and I always will." He said, ending his short speech.
I then realized that I had been crying. I mean, who wouldn't?
Damon then got down on one knee and held out a ring box holding the most beautiful ring I'd ever seen.
I let out a shaky breath that I didn't even realize I had been holding.
"Elena Gilbert, will you marry me?" Damon asked finally.
I smiled and nodded. "Yes!" I said. "Yes, I will marry you."
Damon smiled and put the ring on my left ring finger.
I was in absolute shock. I was over whelmed with emotion, but in a good way.
I wrapped my arms around Damon's neck and hugged him as the rest of our little group cheered with excitement for our engagement.
We pulled away and sat back down.
Damon's arm was around my shoulders as I leaned into his side and smiled.
"So who's gonna be your maid of honor?" Caroline asked as soon as everything quieted down.
I chuckled. "God, Care. I just got engaged two seconds ago. Let me breathe." I replied.
"Well, I think it's time for Elena to play us a song." Stefan said.
I laughed slightly and stood up, leading everyone else into the living room. I grabbed my guitar, which was leaning on the coffee table, and sat down, setting the guitar on my lap.
Everyone else sat down on the couch or on the floor.
"I guess this is for my new fiancée." I said, making Damon smiled.
I tasted, tasted love so sweet
And all of it was lost on me
Bought and sold like property
Sugar on my tongue
I kept falling over
I kept looking backward
I went broke believing
That the simple should be hard
All we are we are
All we are we are
And every day is a start of something beautiful
I wasted, wasted love for you
Trading out for something new
Well, it's hard to change the way you lose
If you think you've never won
'Cause all we are we are
All we are we are
And every day is a start of something beautiful
And in the end the words won't matter
'Cause in the end nothing stays the same
And in the end dreams just scatter and fall like rain
'Cause all we are we are
All we are we are
And every day is a start of something beautiful, something real
All we are we are
All we are we are
And every day is a start of something beautiful, beautiful
"Wow." April muttered quietly. "Matt told me you could sing, but…wow."
I laughed. "Thanks, April."
Damon came and sat down next to me as I set my guitar down again. He wrapped his arm around my waist and I cuddled into his side a little, making every girl go 'aww' again.
A/N:
They're finally engaged! And don't worry, there'll be a miracle baby soon!
I'm not sure if I'm going to do anything with Bonnie/Kol on here. I mean, I hate that couple. I will be forever a Beremy fan! But then again, I don't ship most of the couples that I've put on here, so…
Anyways, please review! I'd love to know how this turned out!
