so I have a bad habit to start new stories, while I'm still busy with another one, but here is one anyway. Hope you like it.


Elena's POV

Today is the day, the day that my dream will become reality. I've always dreamt of being a singer, making it big time. And today that would happen. I was on my way from a little village called Battle Creek in Michigan to Mikaelson records in California. I would be on the plane for a few hours, but I don't mind that, it'll all be worth it.

"Goodbye, Jenna." I said to my aunt Jenna, her beautiful copper hair blowing in the wind and her golden eyes holding back tears.

"Goodbye sweetheart, take care. I'll come visit as much as I can, and if anything is wrong call me. Ok?" she was overprotective as always, but now I understood her, I mean, who wouldn't be worried about their 20 year old niece going to California I was lucky she even let me go.

Suddenly I felt a strong hug, it was my brother Jeremy, "be careful, 'laylay." He said. I smiled.

"Aren't I always?" I said sarcastic, I do get in a lot of trouble, but hey, what am I supposed to wright songs from otherwise. I broke up with my boyfriend Matt a couple a weeks ago, because he couldn't cope with me leaving, his loss. I took one last look at the only family I had and stepped in the cab.

"Where to miss?" the driver asked me once I closed the door.

"To the airport." I said and smiled one last time to Jeremy and Jenna. I was now ready to head on out and start my own life in California.


Damon's POV

"Come on, brother. We're already late!" my brother yelled at me.

I smirked at myself in the mirror, I just love to make Stefan angry. For one last time I checked my incredible looks and left my room.

"Finally!" he murmured.

"Ready to go to your engagement party?" I asked him, yes we were going to his engagement party. My brother was 5 years younger than me and getting married first. I first didn't like the idea, but now I still have the right to mess around with girls. He looked at me and smiled.

"Stefan smiles, alert the media." I said sarcastically.

"Hahaha you're hilarious. But if we don't leave now, Katherine will be angry." And so we left. Heading out to his party.


When we arrived there, we were the last to arrive. Katherine –Stefan's fiancé- wasn't happy we were so late, but she has to deal with it. I was happy my brother was getting married, I would want to marry one day, but right now, Rebekah, wasn't really marriage material. Anyway, the room was filled with friends and family from Katherine, we barely knew all the people, but who cares. The where all fancy little rich people, but so are we.

There wasn't much to the party, they just talked to one and other. Rebekah was there as well, she talked to me, and then to other people. And because it was boring, I left. I sought out the nearest bar and sat down right next to the bar. I ordered my bourbon and I was set for the rest of the night.


Elena's POV

Once I landed, I took my luggage and headed out. But I was stopped by a man, I guessed he was around his 50. "Are you Elena Gilbert?" he asked.

I was always told to not talk to strangers, but he may be important, I mean, I was here for about 5 minutes and he knew my name.

"Uh, yes." He looked at me with a smile.

"Great, I found you. Come we have to hurry to the office." He said while he took my suitcase out my hands and gestured to come with him to a black Mercedes. I followed him. Once in the car, it hit me that I had no idea what kind of office we were going to.

"If I may ask, where are we going?" he looked at me through his mirror

"to Mikaelson records. Klause wants to speak with you, get to know you." I understood that this Klause person was my boss, the boss of my producer. While we were driving I just stared out the window. This is an amazing city, all the buildings, the people. I've never been outside my hometown. But this was it, I was living my dream. Suddenly I saw a big building in front of us.

"We're here." My driver said, I never really got his name. When he stopped the car and stepped out to take my luggage, I looked around me. There was nobody outside.

"Follow me Elena." The guy said, but before I did.

"I never really cached your name." he turned around to face me. "

I'm sorry, my name is Elijah." I smiled at him.

"Nice to meet you, Elijah." And I followed him inside. We stopped in front of a desk where there was a tall girl with long black hair and grey blue-isch eyes. When she saw me and Elijah she smiled brightly.

"Welcome back Elijah, you must be miss. Gilbert." She said pointing with her finger at me, I just smiled.

"Yeah, call me Elena." I said greeting her.

"Ok Elena, I'm April young, and I'm the receptionist, so if you need anything or anyone, just ask me." I nodded, then Elijah spoke to her.

"April, where is Klause?" her smile slightly disappeared.

"Mister Mikaelson is in his office." He nodded and said me to follow. We walked down the hall and he knocked on the door.

"Yes!" is all my future boss said. We entered. He laid his eyes on me and smirked. With him there was another man sitting, I think he was around his 30.

"Ah, miss Gilbert – he stood up and gestured I sat down, and Elijah left- pleasure to meet. I'm Klause Mikaelson, your boss, and this here- he looked at the other man- is Alaric Saltzman, your producer." I was thrilled, THE Alaric Saltzman was MY producer.

"Please, call me Elena." He nodded and from that we just talked about song writing, performing, my daily lessons and stuff like that.


It was around 7 pm when I left my apartment and decided to hit the bar. I wasn't an alcoholic. But sometimes a martini is needed. I walked in a bar called monsoon. I looked nice, just an ordinary bar. I sat on a barstool in front of the bar and ordered a martini. I got it fairly quickly, but I enjoyed every bit of it. This day had been extremely tire full. I looked around and I saw a guy sitting next to me with one chair between us. He looked like someone I knew, but I had no idea who he was, maybe someone from high school or something. I doubt he would remember me. Besides, I had no clear view to his face. Suddenly my phone bussed. I looked up to see who it was, it was an unknown caller, so I just picked up.

"Hello?" it was Ric.

"Elena, there has been a leek."

"Ric? What do you mean a leek?" this got the man who's sitting next to me his attention, like he knew what I was talking about.

"They say, you're the one who caused the fight between Klause and his girlfriend."

"I don't even know that girl." I really didn't know that girl.

"We'll fix it, just be here tomorrow."

"Ok, I'll see you in the morning."

And I hung up, suddenly the man talked to me.

"What's the problem with Ric?" he asked and that was when I realized who he was.

"Oh my god." I said and he smirked turning his head and that's when he saw me.

"No fucking way in hell." Is that all he could say?

"Well, nice to see you to." I said, I basically learned all my sarcasm from him.

"Elena fucking gilbert." And he smiled, his white teeth showing.

"Damon freaking Salvatore." We both stood up and hugged one and other for minutes.

"Ok…. Can't breathe…you should let me…go" and he pulled back laughing loudly while I joined him.

"What are you doing here in California?" I could see shock written all over my face.

"Well, I'm here to make my dream come through.

In 5th grade

Miss calver was our teacher, and today we discussed our future. The jobs we wanted to do when we were older. Some wanted to be an astronaut, some a model, others actors. Allot wanted to be veterinarians and doctors. And then it was my turn.

"Elena, tell us what you want to be later." She said sweetly. "I want to become a famous singer." I said and everyone laughed at me. I didn't understand, so you can become actors and models, but when somebody told then they wanted to be a singer, they just laughed at you. But there was on person that didn't laugh. "Shut up! She'll become a singer no matter what!" he yelled and the class became quiet. Damon was the popular guy in the class, so everybody listened to him. I was glad we were friends. No, we were better than friends, we were best friends.

"See, I told you you'd become a famous singer." I just chuckled softly.

"Yeah, but I'm not there yet. I still have a long road to go." He glanced at me with a big grin.

"I still can't believe you're actually here. After everything that happened, after everything I did to you." He grin faded a little at that last sentence.

"You did nothing wrong." I started and I reached out for his arm.

"I would have done the same if I where you." He looked up in my eyes, it was like he stared right through me. Only he could look that way at me, that way through me.

"Yeah, but I still left you when you needed me the most, when your parents died." There was an ache in my chest at the mention of my parents. Yes they had died in a car accident and yes Damon had left a week after the accident. But his parents forced him, there was nothing he could do about it.

"Anyway, why did Ric call you?" he asked changing the subject when he felt I was a little uncomfortable.

"Oh, there was a leek or something." He looked at me with a knowing face.

"Don't worry, now people will look at you and stuff, but in a few days it will be all forgotten." I looked at him confused, how would he know this kind of stuff?

"Seems like you've been there, done it?" and with that his famous smirk reappeared.

"Trust me, I know all about it, but I really need to go home." He said with guild in his voice. I stood up to hugged him again.

"Hey, here's my number, just in case you need something." He wrote it down on a napkin and gave it to me.

"Thanks, I've really missed you." I confessed while he pulled me back in a tide hug.

"Really have to go." I let go and we walked outside together, saying our goodbyes and walking home, both on our separate ways. Again


i know this is not such a awsome storie...but it will be... trust me XD
