"Come on Elena, we're going to be late." Caroline said as she fixed her air in the mirror.

"I Know just give me a minute." I replied as I straightened the last piece of hair. "There, done." I stated as I smoothed down my dress and grabbed my purse.

"Good." Caroline squealed as she grabbed my arm and pulled me from the room. "So, I'll drive us there and then we can get a taxi back and pick my car up in the morning. That is unless you don't plan on drinking, because I sure do."

I shook my head and laughed. "Has anyone ever told you that you talk waytoo much?"

"Yes, you do every day." She retorted as she started the engine and pulled out of her driveway.

"So is your mom working today?" I asked.

"When is she ever not working?" She replied. Caroline's mom was the sheriff of mystic falls and took her job very serious which meant working quite a lot which Caroline didn't appreciate.

"It's not that bad." I reasoned.

"Really and why is that?"

"At least you have a mom." I whispered.

"Shit. Elena, I'm sorry. Here I am just moaning about my life. How are you doing?" She said sympathetically.

"I'm fine, Caroline it's okay. It was 6 months ago I just need to try and move on." My mom, Miranda Gilbert, died 6 months ago in a car accident when another car crashed in to her and spent her off the bridge. I was in the car but I survived but she didn't.

"And the perfect way to do that is to get trashed and hook up with a random guy." She smiled.

I shook my head. "So not going to happen Care."

"Whatever you say." She replied. "How are you and Jeremy holding up anyway? Katherine still being… well Katherine?"

"Ugh! Yes, she's being a total bitch like usual and it doesn't help that my dad worships the ground she walks on."

"No offense but I never did like your dad."

"Not as if I blame you. The only time he speaks to me is when Katherine blames something on me and he's shouting in my face. It wasn't so bad when I mom was here he held back a bit but now…" I trailed off but I didn't need to continue because Caroline already understood.

"Well at least he gave you a credit card that has no limit. I wish my mom would give me one of those." She pouted.

"You say that as though you never use mine." I laughed.

"That's besides the point." She smirked as she pulled the car in to the grills parking lot. "It's nice to have your own." I laughed as I opened the car door and slid out. I walked over to the cash point at the side and drew out my money before handing half to Caroline. "What's this for? It's your money."

"No, it's my dad's and he has too much of it, it's not at if he'll even notice it's gone." I replied as I grabbed her arm and dragged her inside the grill. It was packed with people and the place was pulsating with music. We walked over to the bar and smiled at the bartender.

"Two apple martini's please." Caroline said before handing one to me.

One too many drinks later and I was dancing in the middle of the dance floor. "That guy over there can't stop staring at you." Caroline shouted in my ear. I turned to my right to see a guy with raven-black hair and ice-blue eyes staring back at me. He smirked when he caught me looking and raised his beer at me. I smiled at him before turning back to Caroline who was grinning. "See, I told you. Boy likes girl, girl likes boy sex."

"No Caroline." I replied. "It's not gonna happen."

"Oh, come on. It'll take your mind of everything going on in your life. Plus he is hot."

"No." I stated. "I'm gonna go get a drink okay, do you want one?" She shook her head so I pushed past the crowds of people and made my way to the bar.

"Does daddy know you're here?" A cold voice sneered.

"No, Katherine." I said as I glared at the brown haired beauty.

"I'll be sure to tell him later. I'm sure he'll be more than happy to know you've deceived him." She smirked.

"I didn't deceive him. I told him I'm staying at Caroline's, which I am. And you're at the same party I am." I retorted. Katherine and I were twin sisters. We looked pretty similar but with subtle differences, my hair was a light shade of brown and was always straight whereas she had darker brown hair that always hung in curls. My skins also a tiny bit paler than hers and her eyes are always cold.

"Sweet, little Elena." She purred mockingly. "Haven't you realised yet that whatever I tell daddy always ends up at you being in trouble. Daddy loves me and he believes every word I tell him." I glared at her and gritted my teeth as she turned on her heel and walked away. I sighed as I sat down on the bar stool and placed my head in my hands. She was right. Tomorrow my dad would most likely kill me.

"Rough day?" A deep masculine voice asked as they sat on the bar stool next to me.

"Rough year." I muttered as I lifted my head to see the guy that had been staring at me before.

"Is she your sister?" He questioned as he gestured to Katherine who was just leaving with her boyfriend Mason Lockwood.

"Twin." I answered.

"Then I can understand why your life would be rough." He smirked.

I laughed. "So you know Katherine?"

"Well I know of her. I know people that dated her and she always broke their heart."

"That's Katherine. She doesn't care about anyone's feelings other than her own."

"So you're eighteen then?" He asked. I nodded. "Then let me by you a drink." I smiled as he called the bar tender over and ordered two tequila shots. He handed one to me and I downed it, wincing as it burnt my throat. "So I never got you name." He stated as he placed his glass back on the bar top and waited for the bar tender to refill it.

"Elena Gilbert." I replied as I held my hand out for him to shake it.

But instead he surprised me by lifting it to his lips and kissing it softly. "Well, it's a pleasure to meet you Elena. I'm Damon. Damon Salvatore."

"Well how old are you then Damon?" I smirked.

"23." He answered.

"Do you have any siblings?"

"I have a brother. Do have any siblings other than the she-bitch?"

I burst out laughing as I downed another shot. "I have a brother."

Before we could talk anymore Caroline came stumbling over to us completely drunk with some guy helping her, but he didn't look much better. "Eleeeena" She slurred. "We're gonna go back to mineee. Do you think you could get home by yourself later?"

I glare at her as I opened my mouth to say no when Damon beat me to it. "I'll make sure she gets home safely."

"Great, see you later babe." She grinned before throwing her arms around me and hugging me before pulling back.

"Have fun Stef!" Damon called after them.

"You know him?" I asked kind of annoyed that Caroline had ditched me but then kind of grateful that she'd left me in the capable hands of Damon.

"That's my brother, Stefan." He answered. "And I'm hoping the blonde one wasn't your brother." He smirked.

I laughed. "No, she is my best friend, Caroline." I downed another shot as Damon watched me carefully. "What?" I questioned suspiciously.

"You are so beautiful." He breathed out.

I blushed as I looked down at my hands in my lap. "Thank you." I replied.

"Would you like to dance Miss Gilbert?" He asked sweetly as he held out his hand to me.
"I would love to Mr Salvatore." I smirked as I took his hand and let him pull me to my feet as he dragged me towards the dance floor.

My head throbbed. I was never drinking again. My mind was pretty much a jumble of images. I groaned as i pulled the sheet over my naked body. Wait. Why was i naked? I gasped as all the memories of last night came flooding back. The party. The alcohol. The sex. I rolled over in the bed to face the man I'd slept with. He was sprawled across the bed facing me. His raven black hair was sticking up in all directions and from what i remember he had amazing ice blue eyes. I slowly stood up from the bed taking the sheet with me and wrapping it around my body as i desperately searched for my clothes. I found my dress and bra in no time but i couldn't find my pants. "Looking for these?" A deep voice purred.

I jumped hearing his voice and slowly turned around to meet his blue ones. He lay there on the bed completely naked smirking as he held my knickers in one of his hands. "Yes." I said as i went to grab then from him trying unsuccessfully not to look at his... Errm package. He moved his hand back and grabbed my arm pulling me on top of him. I gasped as he wrapped his arms around me and smirked. "Much better." He stated. I pushed against his chest and he released me so i fell to the floor. I grabbed my pants from him before running in to the bathroom, slamming the door behind me.

I can't believe I'd done that. I'm Elena Gilbert. I don't do one night stands. I sighed as i ran my hands through my dishevelled hair. I quickly changed and then opened the door walking back in to his room. Thankfully, he'd pulled some jeans on by that time but his perfectly sculptured abs were still on display. He smirked when he noticed me staring. "If you take a picture it'll last longer." I huffed in annoyance before i pushed past him, grabbing my purse from the side table and stormed towards the door. "I'll see you around Elena."

I opened the door but paused and turned around to face him. "Goodbye..." I trailed off. Shit i forgot his name.

"Seriously?" He questioned sceptically. "You forgot my name?" I looked at him apologetically. "You were screaming it enough last night." I rolled my eyes as i turned back around and started to walk. "It's Damon. Damon Salvatore." He called.

I slowly opened the door to my house. Well house was an understatement; I'd say more of a mansion. I slipped my heels off and held them in my hands as I tried to tip-toe towards the stairs. "Elena!" I froze as I heard him shout my name. "I know you're there, get in here right now!" He ordered. I gulped as I slowly made my way towards his study.

"Yes dad." I said timidly.

"Where the hell have you been?" He growled as he stood up from his desk and slowly made his way towards me.

"I told you, I stopped at Caroline's last night." I answered.

"BULLSHIT!" He roared as his hand shot out and connected with my cheek. I gasped and fell to the ground by the sheer force of it. Tears stung my eyes as I stared up at him rubbing my sore cheek. "Katherine already told me you were at a party last night." He bent down so he was face to face with me and narrowed his eyes. "If you lie to me again, it'll be much worse. Now leave!" I didn't bother to reply I just scrambled to my feet and ran up the stairs and in to my room, slamming the door behind me.

I rewrote this chapter because I wasn't happy with how it had turned out the first time. Next chapter Elena finds out she's pregnant and tells Damon…
