I DO NOT OWN THE VAMPIRE DIARIES.

Chapter One:

It was raining. Bonnie and Caroline were over for a slumber party. We haven't had one of these in a while. Just once in a while we NEED this. A little break from all the horrible things we endure in this town. Will our town ever be….normal, again?

"Alaric's home." Said Caroline. That's one good thing about Vampires…they can hear really well. But, it's also a down fall. If you want to talk in private…I can never talk personal to anyone when Damon's around or in the neighborhood.

Alaric popped his head into my room. He just got back from dropping Jeremy off at the airport.

"Hey ladies…I'm home, so if you, um, need anything, I'll be down stairs." Alaric said, in a sad voice.

I told him, "Thanks Rick."

"We're having a much needed girl's night." Caroline choked out.

She was still upset about Tyler. I hope Bill can, somehow, 'cure' him of his sired-ness.

"Well, you girls have a good time." Alaric said with a forced smile, and then he headed down stairs.

Elena's Thoughts:

It has been a while since we've had a girl's night. Last time was when Caroline was kidnapped by Jules and Brady. Caroline said she was 'Super Bitch'. I had to chuckle when she said it the way she did, all snotty and preppy like. Throwing her hands in the air and shaking her head. I'm glad she can joke around about it now. What she went thru was horrible! I remember whose idea it was for Bonnie and I to comfort her that night. Stefan's. He took her under his wing, treated her like a little sister, and showed her how to be a vampire, with restrictions, of course. Stefan. Why can't I let him go, obviously he let's all of us go. Let me go. He proved that last night, when he kidnapped me, fed me his blood, and almost drove off of Wickery Bridge. That still hurts that he was actually going to do it. I don't think I'll ever forgive him. I can guarantee I'll NEVER forget. I know I've forgiven Damon for snapping Jer's neck, but Jer's still alive, and on his way to a better life.

But, I was almost a vampire. My free will and choice was almost taken away. Yes, I thought about having him turn me. So I can be with him forever. But not that way. Not by revenge and forced into it. It was way before he left with Klaus. Actually, now that I think about it….it was before we even knew about Klaus. Before Rose told us. Once Klaus came into the picture, I even thought about being turned there-after, just like Katherine did. But, Klaus would probably hunt me down, like he did Katherine for 500 years.

I understand why he left, to save his brother. He can't be mad at us, he had to have known we'd come looking for him to save him from his decade long bender/payment.

I Miss Lexi. Lexi helped him long ago. I wish she could have stayed just a while longer. But we had to get rid of the Ghosts that Matt let in. I believe she was the only one who could help him. Bring back the Stefan we know and love. That I love. I still love and care for him. Even if his humanity is turned off….now by HIS choice.

My thoughts were interrupted by bickering.

"Ohh, Com'on Bonnie….it's a comedy! Everyone likes comedies!" Caroline tried to sell the movie to Bonnie, like it was her job. Silly girl.

"Elena, will you be the tie breaker here…which movie?" Bonnie said as she held up both movies.

"Elena...[both girls glance at each other in bewilderment] Elena...ELENA?" Shouted Caroline.

"Yeah…..I'm listening." I lied.

"Are you ok?" Said a concerned Bonnie. I shook my head yes. But really meant no.

"Elena, which one do you think we should watch first? Bonnie wants to watch The Notebook...I want to watch Horrible Bosses."

Caroline was in no mood to watch a chick flick. Bonnie, on the other hand, loved, loved, loved The Notebook. Well, I sided with Caroline, I didn't want to upset an emotional vampire. Plus, I wasn't in the mood for a chick flick either. Once Caroline turned to put the movie in, Bonnie looked me in the eye, and I lip-sinked ''Sorry".

"Well...all I know about tonight, is that I want to know all about the kiss." Bonnie said in assumption that Caroline knew already.

"What! You're kidding me...with WHO? Tell me tell me tell me! Was it Stefan? Did you two talk things out? Or is it a mystery guy?" Caroline was more excited about the kiss than I was, and I was the one to experience it.

"No, Caroline...Umm...it wasn't Stefan...it was, Damon." All I could do was stare at Caroline's judgey face and read it like a book, as if I could read her mind on what she was thinking...and now about to say.
