"Care, I don't know about this. I mean, Is now really a good time to run off for a three day weekend?" I watched her pack my bags.

Caroline had this brilliant idea for a girls weekend up at my parents lake house. Bonnie unfortunately won't be attending, due to the fact she's been working on her powers massively, and hasn't been able to actually spend time with her family. Which means it would be Caroline and myself, and as much as I love Care, I don't know if I could spend a whole weekend alone with her.

Ever since she's become a vampire, she's twice as giddy as she was before. Sometimes it's overwhelming to take in all alone. Sometimes though, she does scare me. When she gets a blood craving, she just vamps out and doesn't realize what she's doing or whom she is trying to bite. That alone has my skin crawling. I know it's horrible to think she might kill me, but she still hasn't fully gotten herself under control.

"Oh come on Elena! We need this! To much fighting and over dramatics and Elijah." She shuddered at his name, but went back to grinning her head off as she stuffed my swimsuit into the bag. "This is going to look super cute on you by the way."

I sighed loudly, knowing I was defeated. When she gets like this, Vampire or not, There's simply no way of winning. Caroline is a very stubborn girl, and now, an even twice as stubborn vampire. I think she gets some of those qualities from Damon. Okay maybe she gets most of those qualities from Damon, it is partially his fault. Even with best intentions, Something always blows up In his face.

"It's a bummer Bonnie couldn't come up with us though. What's Charlie's Angels without Alex!" She huffed loudly.

"I don't know Nat. Looks like it's just me and you." I smiled slightly.

Caroline grinned, knowing I remembered the reference. When we were all little, we use to run around my back yard playing like we were secret agents. We always based it off the film though. The TV show was way past our time. Caroline always played Natalie. Of coarse she did, she was always the more dominate leader of our trio. How Bonnie and I were decided as Alex and Dylan, I honestly probably will never know.

"Are you already packed?" I looked over at her from my spot on the bed.

"Well of coarse silly! My cars all packed and ready to go."

I should've figured. She always plans ahead without ever asking for permission or whatnot.

"I'm going to have to ask Jenna if I can." I quickly made up an excuse.

"But it's yours and Jeremy's, not hers. Besides, Jeremy won't care, He's been helping Bonnie out here anyway." She scoffed.

"Well what about Stefan and Damon? You know how they feel about me going somewhere without them?"

"Is he your boyfriend or your father Elena?" She gave me a look.

I stared at her. I sometimes wonder that myself. I love Stefan dearly, and I understand he wants to protect me, but sometimes it's just…

"Elena."

My head snapped over to the door, where, of coarse, Stefan was standing, looking between Caroline and I.

"Don't bother Stefan. I know what you're going to say, and you're wrong. I can protect her. We need this." Caroline said, with a slight warning tone in her voice.

She grabbed by bag off the bed, followed by my arm, and zipped past Stefan. I stumbled behind as best as I could. She opened the back door, threw my bag in and shut it. Stefan zipped out and grabbed my arm. I looked at him, Caroline glared.

"…If you need me, my phone is always on." He whispered, kissing my hand softly.

I nodded slowly, pulling my hand back. I shifted over and opened the passenger door. Caroline zipped around to the other side, getting in to the drivers seat at the same time as I did. Usually I would be giddy around Stefan, but something lately, something inside me just couldn't muster up any feelings towards the little things he did. I'm starting to worry that I might not be in love with him like I thought I was.

I glanced out the window at him as Caroline pulled away from the curb. The look on his face was unsettling, and it made me wonder what was the right decision I was suppose to make.

"Don't worry about him, Elena. We're going to have so much fun, you'll forget about Stefan's sourpuss." Caroline reassured me, grinning.

I nodded slowly, leaning back into my seat. This two hour drive is going to be the slowest car ride I had ever been in, I can tell.
