________________________________________________________________________ EL.P.O.V. (EL. = Elena)
"Hello?" I heard my aunt answer the phone
"Oh my,"
"Of coarse she can!"
"When?"
"Two days."
"Okay, thank you, have a good day, good bye."
Then she hung up the phone.
"What was that about?" I asked her as I walked into the kitchen to get a glass of juice.
"Do you remember your cousin Emily?"
"Emily, yeah she was my best friend before she moved to Chicago."
"Well her parents died in a fire and we're the only family she has left, so she's going to live with us."
"That's horrible! The reason why she's coming to live with us."
"Yes its very sad." My aunt said as the doorbell rang
"Hi Bonnie, Meredith come on in girls. Pizza will be here in about twenty minutes."
"Thanks Ms. Gilbert." Bonnie said as she walked though the door
"Thank you." Meredith
"Come on girls we have make-overs to do" I said as I walked up the stairs to my room
"So," Meredith started "What's you cuz like?"
"Yeah?" Bonnie added
"Well, her name is Emily, she has brown eyes, a mix of brown and blonde hair, she's really flexible, she's really strong, she's a cheerleader, and she's in gymnastics, she reads a lot, she likes music, in fact she obsessive over it, and she wears a lot of black," I paused when I saw Bonnie and Meredith make an expression like 'Holy crap, Elena's cousin is a goth kid'
"She's not goth, she just likes black, when you meet her, you won't notice, that and my uncle John worked as a sound technician so she worked back stage so she had to wear black."
"I understand now," Bonnie said
"On other news, Stefan's birthday is coming up, what are we going to do, and then Elena what are you going to do?" Meredith said
"Well, I was thinking for the whole group that we could plan a surprise party," Bonnie started
"Wait, he's my boyfriend don't we get a special time together?" I asked Bonnie
"Hang on, first you two go out to dinner, then you go back to his place where the party will be," she finished
"I get it now, sounds good."
The rest of the night we spent talking about the party, when we finally fell asleep, which was around four a.m. I had a strange dream.
"Elena," Stefan started
"Yes?" I asked him
"I think your cousin is in trouble."
"What?"
"Yeah,"
"Come on, we have to help her! We're the only family she has left! I have to help her!"
"Lets go then,"
Driving down the road, looking around I finally saw her at the school
"Stefan! She's at the school!" I told him He turned into the parking lot and we saw Emily fighting off Tyler
I stepped out of the car and heard Emily say
"If you ever touch me like that again, I will kill you." Then she flipped him over and he lay there for a minute and then he got up as Emily ran over to me
"Hi, Elena."
"What happened?" I asked her
"Tyler tried to rape me, so I beat him up…"
"You're okay, right?"
"Yeah, I'm fine, I'm going for a ride, so I'll see you at home."
"Kay, bye girly. Be careful."
"I ware a helmet don't I?" She said as she put it on
"Yeah," I said and then she mounted her motorcycle and drove out of the parking lot.
"I wonder how many bruises Tyler's going to have tomorrow," Stefan said
"Yeah, I forgot Emily used to take karate."
"For how long?" Stefan asked
"A week."
"A WEEK?!"
"Yeah, but she kept training even though she didn't take lessons anymore."
"Oh, I understand,"
And then I woke up, to the smell of pancakes. I looked at the clock it was only ten thirty.
Meredith and Bonnie just woke up too
"Elena, when's your cousin coming?" Meredith asked
"Tomorrow." I said
"Whoa," commented Bonnie
"Yeah, one thing I forgot to tell you, she's hyper all the time, so she's a little crazy, but she can get really serious."
"Good to know," Meredith said before she cut into her stack of pancakes.
"Elena, we have to get the guest room ready, because it's going to be Emily's room." My aunt told me as she gave Margaret her pancakes
"Right," I said
"I'll help." Bonnie said
"Me too," Meredith added
"Auntie Judith? What time is Emily coming tomorrow?" Margaret asked
"Ten o'clock sweetie." My aunt responded
"Okay, I'm going to make her a 'Welcome picture!" Margaret said and then she ran off to go get her crayons
Aunt Judith shook her head laughing "Elena, what do you remember that your cousin likes?" My aunt asked me
"Music and books." I responded as I finished my pancakes and put mine, Meredith's and Bonnie's plate in the sink
"So that means?" My aunt asked me
"We should put a desk, an ipod dock, and a book shelf in the guest room." I told her
"Okay well, we can get those at walmart,"
"Auntie Judith?"
"Yes Margaret?"
"Why doesn't walmart sell walls? Its WALLmart."
"I don't know sweetie" My aunt said trying not to laugh
"Okay." She Margaret said as she skipped back into the TV room
"Forget walmart, I'm going to IKEA and Best Buy."
"Wait let me see if she has a dock for her ipod."
"Good idea, but how are you going to do that?" My aunt asked
"A magical thing called AIM."
"Come on girls"
AIM: BlueEyedBlonde has signed on
AIM: MusicIsLove has signed on
BlueEyedBlonde: Hey Emily!
MusicIsLove: Hey Elena!
BlueEyedBlonde: How ya holding up?
MusicIsLove: I'm okay, I really miss them though
BlueEyedBlonde: Yeah, I know how u feel
BlueEyedBlonde: BTW do you have an ipod dock?
MusicIsLove: nope I've been meaning to get one though…
MusicIsLove: oh yeah guess what
BlueEyedBlonde: what?
MusicIsLove: my rents are being buried next to yours
BlueEyedBlonde: really? That cool, but sad, cuz all four of them r dead…"
MusicIsLove: yeah, well see ya tomorrow, I have to finish packing
BlueEyedBlonde: k bye
MusicIsLove: bye
AIM: MusicIsLove signed off
AIM: BlueEyedBlonde signed off
"Aunt Judith, she doesn't have a dock" I called
"Good," she called back "Girls watch Margaret."
"Okay," I said as my aunt waked out the door
"Elena, what does the guest room look like?" Bonnie asked
"Come on, that reminds me, we have to change the room around for the new stuff." I said as I picked up the phone and dialed my aunt's number
"Hello?" she answered
"Hi Aunt Judith" I said "I just wanted to remind you that the furniture in the guest room is black, so get a black book shelf and a black desk, but get a white dock."
"Okay, thanks honey." She said
"Welcome." I said and then I turned to face my friends. "Okay girls, the bed needs to be moved so its by the window, and the night stand goes behind the bed, and then he chest in front of the bed and that's it, until the new stuff gets here."
"Lets do it then," Meredith said
After half an hour because we had to wait for the new stuff, the guest room was ready for Emily to move into and customize.
