AN: Stefan changed Elena into a vampire, Jeremy was changed by Katherine (Thinking it was Elena), Caroline and Tyler get together officially after his drink with Bonnie (To come with Bonnie's explanation). Damon is still being Damon about everything possible. After a horrible accident Bonnie is given a powerful elixir where she cannot age, or die. Alaric suggests they all leave together and stick together, now they are in a rainy town with Alaric as their "Guardian".

Elena was on the balcony looking down at the humans holding hands by the harbor, tonight fireworks blared and couples were laughing delicately at each other. "If you keep doing that, people will start to talk" Tyler said coming up beside her, he liked to do that these days, to try to comfort her.

"Aha" Elena laughed at him sarcastically, then stepped from the open windows "Where's Caroline tonight?"

"Hunting out helpless souls" Tyler had a way of being honest all the time, it was... refreshing to Elena who had come to rely on that.

"Are you ready for tomorrow?" She heard the hum of a radio station echoing through the house as video game controllers were being tapped in pure victory, She heard Alaric's breathing in his room and she encouraged that. He hadn't really slept in the past few days. Watching Vampire teenagers, a werewolf and a witch that could live forever wasn't in his degree for teaching.

"It's high school. Of course not." Elena snorted, as long as they could play the parts of 17 year old normal kids, and Damon that senior. They'd work out, she had to believe that. Damon had picked this town for the ocean and the southern charm. He played that bad boy, but in the weirdest way he was a country bumpkin.

"I think I should go and see what Stefan's up to" She walked down the hall way searching for her lover, but instead she ran into Jeremy who seemed to be holding a new game out to Damon. "Grand theft Auto?" Elena looked at the boys.

"I know a code that gets the girls to-" Damon started in on the crude language

"I really don't want to know about what you can make girls do" Elena assured him and then winked at Jeremy. She kept going deeper into the house until she found Stefan pouring his heart into an old book. Katherine was lounging across his bed watching him. It made Elena mad, but she composed herself before speaking up. "Hey" She said with her hands in her pockets of the hoodie "Do you want to go down to the harbor?" To be one of those couples like we used to? She wanted to say those words but it just didn't seem fit to say in front of Katherine.

Stefan smiled at her, but then said "I can't I'm a little busy" Elena didn't let that get to her, she just walked out of the room and into the living room throwing herself on the love-seat. She stayed in that spot until Katherine walked out of her room just in time for Bonnie and Caroline to walk in.

"Elena" Bonnie said "Happy Early Birthday" That was tomorrow? Or maybe the next day... Who knew anymore? Elena had stopped counting days once she died or became part of the living-dead. "We bought you this wonderful gift and it's downstairs and-"

"I really don't need a gift"

"-You're really going to love it" Caroline was the only one who took notice to Katherine.

"What are you doing in Elena's room?" She pressed as Katherine joined the group of people trying to get up on Damon but Damon pushed her desperate self on the ground.

"It's Stefan's room too"

"Whore" Caroline said and Tyler was suddenly next to her, like he could protect them from each other. It was like the house took sides in the fight, Elena behind Caroline along with Bonnie and Damon. Jeremy being too consumed with his game, and Alaric asleep. Stefan backing up Katherine? That's what they were looking at, Caroline growled in defeat because she knew it would only ruin what was going down. "Come on Tyler" Tyler followed her and they left once more.

Bonnie just looked at Stefan for a long time wondering what exactly he was playing, funny... Elena wanted to know the same thing. What was Stefan doing- taking up for Katherine suddenly like she hadn't broken his heart back in those days. Like Elena didn't exist.
