My mother thought this gift would help me get over the fact that she and dad were divorced for a week now. I didn't want to go with my dad so I stayed with my mum. We moved from London to where she was offered a job at a studio as a makeup artist. She didn't know what to expect when we got there.

I was standing amongst other fans who too were waiting for the cast of the Vampire Diaries to grace us with their presence. It wasn't until Candice Accola came out from a tent that the small group of people I was in started screaming. I flinched at the ear piercing squeals these girls made. Candice walked up to them and you could tell she was reluctant to go anywhere near them, but she threw on a smile. Once she was done with them she made her was down the row of the barricade towards me. I gave her a warm smile and she returned it, but this one was real.

"Well you're quiet," she comments as she signed my autograph book.

I shrugged and said, "I don't really like talking, I am more of an observer."

Her smile widened and she said, "I like your accent, English right?"

This time I smiled wider, "Thank you for not saying British accent, and yes I just recently moved here."

"Really? Well, being that you are new and more human than those other girls…Maybe I can show you around. You seem trust worthy," she told me with a grin.

I was taken aback and not in the bad way, but in the good way where you question yourself if you are dreaming or not. I certainly was not going to pinch myself in front of her. I didn't want to look like a fool or embarrass myself. I also didn't want to pinch myself in case I was dreaming; I didn't want to wake up.

"Are you sure? I mean you barely know me," I told her raising an eyebrow.

"Well I'll introduce myself, and then you can do the same," she said with a smirk.

"I am Candice Accola," she said holding out her hand.

"Sage McKenzie," I replied shaking her hand back.

"Well Sage as I said, you seem trust worthy and I would love to show you around so…I'll write my number in your book," she whispered the last part which made me laugh.

"Can I hug you?" I asked her. She laughed and said, "Of course you're like my new best friend."

I laughed again which made her smile and I hugged her over the barricade and she returned it.

"Come on Candice you are holding us up," Paul said sending a charming grin my way, causing me to blush.

Candice being the mature actress she was, stuck her tongue at Paul Wesley and said, "Suck it. Your just jelly because I made a new friend."

I couldn't help, but laugh at her childish remarks. Paul smiled shaking his head at her.

"This is Sage she just moved here from London," Candice told him.

"London really?" he asked me. I nodded saying, "Yes, it's been quiet the experience so far. I have just made my first friend. This country is a lot different than the UK."

"Well if you need anything here's my number," he told me with a wink as he took my autograph book and signed it leaving his number. He walked around Candice who was grinning at me.

"He likes you," she gushed causing me to roll my eyes smiling and replied, "We just met."

"I know Paul, okay. I can tell," she told me with a smile as she signed someone else's autograph book.

"Making friends I see," Joseph Morgan commented in his English accent striding towards us.

"Yes I am," Candice said with a smirk and rolled her eyes.

"It seems like everyone infatuated with you Candice," I told her with a chuckle.

"English?" Morgan stated more than asked, but I answered anyway.

"Yes, but I could say the same about you," I told him with a smirk.

He laughed as he signed three fan's books as he asked, "How long have you lived in the UK?"

"Born and bred there," I told him looking at Candice who sadly had moved down the line.

"Same here love," he said with a smile as he signed my autograph book.

"Ah, it seems that both Candice and Paul gave you their number. I think I shall do the same, after all we English have to stick together, right?" he said handing the book back to me with that god damn smile. I loved it.

"Of course," I said with a smile. Steven McQueen was the next one who came up to me. HE gave me a smile and said, "Wow you're quiet."

"So I've been told," I said with a smirk as I laughed. He gave me a smile like the other three people had.

"Candice must really see something trust able in you to leave her number with you," he commented looking me in the eyes.

"Yes, she is my new best friend and before you can ask about the accent, I just moved here from London and my name is Sage."

He laughed looking amused and said, "Steven."

Just as he was about to say something else Candice came running back over to us.

"I just talked to my boss and she said you can come in as long as you don't talk, but I am sure that won't be a problem," she said all in one breathe causing me to laugh.

"You're too kind to me Candice," I told her with a grin.

She waved it off and said, "Anything for my new bestie."

"I thought I was your bestie," Michael Trevino cut in.

"You have been replaced," Steven told him sending a grin my way. I returned his grin as Michael signed my book.

"Hop over," Candice told me after Michael and Steven moved away.

"What?" I asked her as if I hadn't heard her right.

She gave me a playful glare saying, "Hop over the barricade."

I sighed and gripped the top of the barricade with both of my hands and breathed in and out steadily before I jumped. Sadly my shoe caught the ball and I was hurdling towards the ground, but I was caught in the nick of time and smiled up at Candice who I had thought saved me, but she was standing a few feet away.

I turned my head slowly around to see who my savor was and I came face to face with him. Ian Somerhalder.
