Flashback. 1995. Felicity and Damon. 3rd person POV
"How about we play hide and seek?" Felicity asked, poking Damon's cheek. She was always very childish, but he loved that about her.
He rolled his eyes at her "No" he replied, which made her frown.
"Please, dammy bear" Felicity begged him, giving him her cute and adorable look.
He pretened to think about it, then he finally spoke "Nope" Damon said popping the 'p'
"Please, please, please, plea-" she kept begging until she was cut off by Damon.
"Fine!" He sighed, he turned his head to hers to see her smiling widely, he couldn't help but smile himself, Felicity had a smile that would always make him smile.
She jumped up holding his hands, pulling him up with her. "I'll go hide and you come find me, now turn around and count!" Felicity said giggling
And so he did. He covered his eyes and began counting.
She started to run into the woods, she shouted back at him loud enough for him to hear "No peeking, Dammy bear!"
He continued counting until he got to 10, he opened his eyes and turned around, he couldn't see her. Damon began walking through the forest looking around. "Oh where could she be?" He said. After 5 minutes he couldn't find her, he sighed deeply. " Felicity I give up, you can come out now" But there was no answer, he started getting worried. Suddenly, a scream came from deep inside the woods, Damon reconizged it. It was Felicity. "Damon! Help me!" He could hear her screaming then everything went silent"Felicity! Felicity!" He kept shouting as he ran through the woods looking for her. He stopped when he spotted a braclet on the ground, he picked it up. It was the friendship braclet she had made back in 1897. Damon had a matching one that he wore everyday since she gave it to him. He knew she had been kidnapped.
Present. 2013. Damon and Stefan in the Boarding House. 3rd person POV
Damon was sitting in his chair he always sat in drinking a glass of bourbon, as was sitting at a chair nearest the window, staring out of it. The room was filled with silence. It was the Felicity's birthday, well suppose to be anyways. Even though Damon was her best friend, she also shared a connection with Stefan, they where quite close, not as much as her and Damon though.
Damon glanced down at his friendship braclet that he has still kept with him, sighing deeply. He was going to speak, but he choose not to. But Stefan did.
"I can't believe it's 18 years since we've seen her, It's felt like and eternity" Stefan said gazing out the window, still.
Damon didn't speak, he just stared into his empty glass.
"You have to stop blaming yourself for it, Damon. There was nothing you could do to help her" Damon always blamed himself for what had happened to Felicity that day.
Once again, Damon didn't speak. He got up from his chair, he put his glass onto the coffee table, before walking upstairs and going into his bedroom, slamming the door behind him, Stefan let out a sigh.
The Grill. Elena, Matt, Caroline and Felicity. Felicitys POV
Today was my birhday. I can't even imagine how Damon and Stefan are right now. I should go see them. Not now. Ugh but I want to, I have to. I argued with myself in my head. I was taken out of my thoughts by the young bartender.
"Can I help you?" He asked.
My head shot up at him. "Um, bourbon please" Ugh bourbon. Bourbon always was Damon's favorite. I sighed to myself.
he bartender handed me my drink, I payed him, and downed probably most of the bottle. "Bad day?" The boy asked. I just nodded in silence.
Our not so coversation was interupted by two girls, one beautiful blonde and the other.. Oh my god. Katerina Petrova. No it couldn't be, could it? Her hair is diffrent, diffrent clothes, this doesnt look anything like her but at the same time it does I thought. "Hey, Matt" she spoke. Her voice. "Hey, Elena, Caroline. Where's your boyfriend(s) ?" He replied. Elena, her name was Elena not Katherine. I'm so confused. She rolled her eyes" Damon and Stefan are at home, there acting weird today" Katerina's twin said, sighing. Wait, what?! Damon.. Stefan!? There here?! I didn't evern think I just stood up and grabbed the brown haired girls neck. "Katerina. Where are Damon and Stefan!? And I thought I told you to stay away from them!" I yelled, tightening my grip. "I-I'm not Katherine, I'm her doppelganger, and why do you wanna know?" I let go, raising an eyebrow, before answering her question, I speed away, I had better things to do. Damon and Stefan.
The Boarding House. Felicity, Damon and Stefan. Felicity's POV
I knocked on the door. No answer. I knocked again impaitently, I need to see them. I knocked once again, no answer. I decided to invite myself in. I slowly opened the door. I strolled into the living room, empty. I looked around and stopped in my steps when I saw a picture of Damon and Stefan with their arms around me, smiling. It made me smile seeing the three of us back then.
I froze when I felt the presence of someone else. "Felicity? Is that you?" It was Stefan.
I turned around and saw him standing there in shock. I couldn't hold back the tears and the came streaming down my cheek. I ran into his arms, he wrapped his around me hugging me tightly, we didn't let go of eachother until I heard Damon's voice. Stefan pulled back, smiling, letting me go over to him. So I did. I ran over to him and jumped on him wrapping my legs around him, hugging him tight. " Dammy bear" I cried. He was speechless. He wouldn't let me go. "I've missed you both so much" I said as I kissed Damon's nose like I used to always, giggling.
Damon's POV.
No. It can't be her. How is this even possible?. My best friend who I haven't seen in eighteen years is here, right now. I let out a smile as I felt her soft lips against my nose. I remember how she used to always do that to me. I let her down onto her feet.
"I've missed you so much" I tried not to leak tears. I'm a guy, guy's don't cry. Where had she been? I didn't care right now, all I cared about was that she was here.
"OMG. You kept it through all these years" I heard her say, I raised an eyebrow and then I realised she was talking about my friendship braclet. I nodded.
"Of course I did, speaking of which" I sped upstairs into my bedroom and took out an old wooden box from under my bed. I took out her one. I went back down. I waved it in her face. "Look what I have" I saw the smile on her face grow bigger. "May I?" She nodded. I put slipped the braclet on her wrist. And she hugged me once again.
The Boarding House. Hours later. Felicity, Damon, Stefan and Elena. Felicity's POV
Damon, Stefan and I were all sitting on the sofa together, talking. I was resting my head on Damon's shoulder when he spoke.
"Where were you the past eighteen years?" He asked me looking down at my curiously.
"Well," I began. "That day when me and you where playing hide and seek. I was hiding when someone came from behind and injected me with vervain. When I woke up I was in some cellar. Little did I know they where going to star experimenting on me." I was going to continue speaking when Damon got there before me.
"Augustine" I raised and eyebrow. "How did you know?" Stefan looked at Damon. "Back in the 1950's, 1953 to be exact. I was an Augstine vampire. I spent 5 years there. I escaped in 1958 with the help of an old friend" He sighed.
Wait, 1953. That's when you dissapered and never told me and Stefan you where leaving. All what got was a tex message saying ; Got to leave town for important bussiness" I frown.
"Well, clearly that wasn't me who sent that message" He replied
I'm so sorry, Damon. But you guys don't know how much I missed you. Although I also met a friend in there. His name was Enzo" I nodded letting out a smile, but it faded when I noticed the look on both of there faces
"Enzo. He wasn't just your cell mate." Damon said with that same look on his face.
I was just about to speak when I was once again interupted by the so called 'Elena'. Her eyebrows raised as she saw Damon, Stefan and I. I remember what the bartender Matt had said to her that eveing about her 'boyfriends'. I shivered at the thought of Damon or Stefan with Elena, she was just like Katherine.
She looks at me with raised eyebrow, Damon is about to speak but I get there before him
"Elena, remember me from earlier? I was the one who choked you accusing you of being Katherine" I said to her standing up, with a smirk on my lips. "So which idiot fell for you?" I ask her, hoping it's not Damon since he's not the best at having a girlfriend. He's more the one night type of guy.
"Wait you did what to her?" Stefan asked standing up, along with Damon. "And I'm that idiot." Damon said glaring at me
"I thought she was Katerina" I confessed, putting my hands up in defense. "Oh please you guys are sticking for her over me, your oldest and bestest friend?" I frown. I roll my eyes when Damon say's he's the one who is hung up on the doppelganger. Well at least he's finally over Katherine Pierce, right?
Elena finally said something, but to be honset I prefered her when she kept her mouth shut. Ugh. "Damon has a best friend?. He doesn't have the best taste" I scoffed. I looked her from head to toe "Clearly," I felt Damon's arm wrap around my shoulder, I could see jealously on Elena's face which made me smile. "Now, now, girls. No need to fight, right Felicity?" I look up at him pouting. "But Dammy bea-" I was cut of by Stefan. Stefan the hero always trying to save the day. Tut, tut, tut. " Felicity, this is Elena, Elena, this is Felicity, I'm aware you met and you better be friendly because your both going to be seeing alot of eachother." He said smiling at me, not looking at Elena. I'm sensing some awkwardness between them. Maybe she's more like Katherine than I thought.
