She was looking at herself in the mirror. It's been two years later and she still wasn't as happy as she thought she would be. It's okay though, its not like she's dreading over anything, its just that there's still some things she wishes were different.
"Elastic Heart" by Sia sang through her iHome as Cecelia did her hair and got dressed for the day. She picked out a floral pink spring dress, with matching flats. She put her long, wavy, auburn hair up into a ponytail and added light make up to her eyes and face. Taking a look at herself again she wondered how much different her life would be if things remained the same. If...Damon Salvatore and her were still together. It pained her when she thought about Damon, but each day it hurt less. Unfortunately though the pain was always there. Like a knife through a heart and for some reason it would never pull out.
Flashback
Damon came in through Cecelia's bedroom door, peeking in casually, ready to pick her up to take her to school. He noticed clothes flying out of the closet door one after another. He looked confused as he walked more into the room and stopped at the walk in closet door. Immediately, he saw a shirt being thrown at him and in a flash he caught it in his hands.
"What the hell is going on here", he asked getting Cecelia's attention. Cecelia stopped throwing clothes out the door and turned around and saw her amazingly beautiful boyfriend standing at the door, smirking at her. That undeniably sexy smirk always made her melt inside and her knees week. Then she felt a little out of place. She looked down and saw that she was still only in black bra and panties. Blushing she tried to cover herself with one of the clothes on the rack.
"Oh you know, just trying to find something decent to wear", she finally replied to him.
"Well if you ask me." In a blink of an eye he used his inhuman speed to dash right in front of her. Removing the article of clothing that she was trying to use to cover herself, he snaked an arm around her tiny waist and pulled her against him. "You look great just like this", he finished. He leans in, reaching her lips with his and he kisses softly at first. Cecelia presses her lips against his some some more as they now share and intensifying kiss. Damon slowly pushes her up the wall to the right of them as he presses his body against her. His hand slides down her back, down to her ass, giving it a squeeze, and then down behind her thigh, lifting it up and wrapping it up around his waist. Cecelia wraps her arms around Damon pulling him as close as she can, wanting more of him. She grabs his leather jacket from his shoulder and pushes it off until it fell down to the floor. This gets Damon going and he begins to grind against her a little, as Cecelia can feel someone getting happy down there. She giggles a bit as she then out of nowhere hits Damon on the side of the face with a shirt she had balled up in her hands.
Damon breaks the kiss confused as Cecelia laughs, jumping at Damon making them both fall on the floor. She crawls towards a pile of clothes as she starts throwing clothes at him. Damon reacts quickly and goes to a pile of clothes himself and starts throwing clothes back at her. The closet becomes filled with laughter as they have a war just of throwing shirts, pants, bras, sweater, panties, socks, etc. After Damon finishes with his pile he comes after Cecelia pinning her down to the floor. He pins both of her hands above her head stopping her attacks with clothes. Cecelia playfully tries to break free, but she knew there was no use.
"You are a sneaky one missy", Damon said to her slyly. Cecelia continues to laugh.
"Well you know me. I like catching you off guard. It's the only time I can win", she respondes.
"Well this certainly does not look like winning", he said sarcastically.
"Shut up Damon", she laughs again. He joins with her laughing, before leaning down kissing her lips softly.
"I love you Cecelia."
"I love you too Damon."
End Flashback
Shaking her head to get her mind off the past she collected her purse on her bed and headed downstairs.
"JOSHUA! ARE YOU ALMOST READY", Cecelia called out to her brother. She heard loud thumping steps coming down the stairs.
"Yeah, yeah I'm here. You don't have to yell out to me every morning you know", Joshua told her.
"Well I wouldn't have to if you weren't always late", Cecelia countered. Joshua just rolled his eyes. Cecelia stood from one side of the island as Joshua stood at the opposite end. He noticed that Cecelia just hasn't been the same since her and Damon broke up. Even though he is younger then her his, natural born Hunter extinct made him more mature then most guys his age. Just like his best friend Jeremy Gilbert, they would do anything to protect their sisters.
"Sis, you can't be like this forever", Joshua started. Cecelia looked up at him trying to look confused.
"What are you talking about", she asked.
"C, you know what I'm talking about. I know it hurt like hell in the beginning and it still probably does, but…don't you think you deserve to be happier?" Cecelia gave him a soft smile. He may drive her crazy sometimes, but she did love him to death.
"I'm fine Joshua", she said softly. "There's absolutely nothing wrong with me." If there's anybody that can see right through Cecelia, it's him. He see's that she tries to be her happiest, but he know it still bothers her. He decided not to press on her anymore and just decided to drop it.
"Yeah, whatever you say. See you later." With that Cecelia just watched her muscular high school senior brother walk out the door. She heard his loud Mustang turn on, backing out of the driveway, and driving down the street until she couldn't hear it anymore.
She sighed as she took a look at the clock. The clock read 9:30am. Her class doesn't start until 10:30am. Today she has Architect History class and she just wanted to get it over with already.
She sat down in the living room couch and turned on the tv. Browsing through the channel she noticed it was raining outside. This reminded her of those rainy days when her and Damon would just sit in this very couch and cuddle with each other. Telling each other stories, secrets that were forbidden to tell anyone, exchanging sweet kisses that would turn into hot kisses. Damon's hands would roam around her body as their need for each other burns more inside of them. Damon always had that magic touch. No matter where he would touch you it would spark something inside of her. Oh how she misses his hands on her, his lips on her neck, his whispering words in her ear. Words that would tell her how much he needed her...wanted her…and...SNAP OUT OF IT CECELIA!
Cecelia's voice in her head yelled out at her making her come back to reality. She REALLY needs to stop thinking about Damon. It's been two years dammit! Why do these memories still haunt her? Why does she let them weave their way back into her mind? From what she was told by his brother, Stephan, Damon already found a new girl. Stephan made it sound like he was happy and that he was living the life with this new girl. I guess that what happens when you let someone you care so much go. There's no way he's thinking about her like she thought about him.
This upset Cecelia a little bit. So she got up and went to go find some thing to do to make her mind wander somewhere else. She looked up at the clock again and it shows 10:00am. The mail should be here by now. She looked out the living room window and saw that the rain stopped. She went out the door and headed towards the mailbox to get the mail. In the meantime, a red BMW 3 series drives by her and into her drive. Then 3 girls jumped out of the car.
"Elena, i swear, with the way you drive you are going to get me killed one day", Caroline yelled out to Elena as she got out of the passenger side. Elena, got out the driver side laughing as Bonnie got out from the back.
"Caroline, we all know I would NEVER do that to you", Elena responded. Cecelia smiled at her friends comment as she pulled out the mail from the mailbox going through it, but then something caught her eye. It was a soft, white, laced envelope that had her name written in script in front of it. 'Oooo fancy, fancy' she thought.
"You should be used to how she drives by now Care. Besides its not that easy to kill you", Bonnie pointed out the obvious. Cecelia opens up the envelope and sees their's a card inside of it. On the card its says you are invited. 'Invited? Invited to what? Was there something I'm supposed to go to that I completely forgot about?' Cecelia usually already knew about upcoming events, but she was pretty sure that nothing was happening anytime soon yet.
"I just rather not have my necked cracked or anything by this phsyco driver. Its not fun always dying and coming back to life you know", Caroline told Bonnie seriously.
"Care, then just don't drive with me. You do HAVE A CAR", Elena told Caroline. All of a sudden Cecelia could barely hear the girls anymore. It was like they were in the far distance as she completely blocked out their conversation as she tried to focus on the fancy invitation. Cecelia's heart started pounding for some reason and she couldn't tell why. She slowly opened the card. As she read on her heart dropped down to her stomach. Her throat got so tight that she thought she wouldn't be able to speak anymore. Her emotions started flaring all over the place as she didn't know how to feel right now. Mad, angry, hurt, upset, confused, sad, it was just so hard to feel anything right now.
As the girls quit their bickering they finally turn their attention at Cecelia. They noticed her shocked facial expression as she stared down at the card.
"Uh C, are you ok", Bonnie was the first to ask. Caroline came around the car to join the two other girls with a concerned look on her face. Cecelia didn't answer Bonnie as she still didn't take her eyes off the invitation.
"I don't think she hears you" Elena told Bonnie.
"What is she looking at", Caroline asked them. Bonnie and Elena shrugged their shoulders, having no idea whats going on with her. Elena was the first to take a few steps closer to Cecelia.
"Hey…you can tell us anything you know. We're here for you", Elena said softly to Cecelia. Finally Cecelia brought her eyes up to Elena, and then she looked behind her at Bonnie and Caroline. With still a shocked expression on her face she lifted the card up slowly and finally saying...
"I'm invited to Kerry Shultz and Damon Salvatore's wedding."
