Our so called two hour ride didn't go all that well. Caroline got lost. Again. I say again because it seems every time we drive up here, she always picks a wrong road. I mean really. We've been traveling up here since WAY back when my parents were alive, and she still doesn't know the right way. I hate to say it, but I think it's a blonde thing. So, with that being said, we finally arrived at the lake house the next morning, after spending the night sleeping in her tiny little car.

"OH MY GOD, SOLID GROUND!" I cried out, dramatically falling out the passenger door into the soft grass.

"Ha ha, you're sooooo funny." Caroline huffed, shutting her door.

I couldn't help but grin. She was always hilarious when she was huffy, but since her emotions are now ten times more intense from vampire life, it's just darn silly. I quickly shuffled up onto my feet, shutting my door.

"C'mon, I want to go in!" She whined loudly, zipping across the yard to the porch before I can even blink.

"I'M COMING, You know not all of us could zip around as fast as light you know." I grinned hopping up onto the old wood porch.

So many memories in this place. Everywhere I look, I see a memory. Jeremy falling off the steps, busting his lip open. My mom and dad sitting on the swing, watching us as we played in the yard. Caroline, Bonnie and I sitting on the dock, all giggling and gossiping about boys until Jeremy came running over with a squirt gun. So many years of good memories. It definitely helps me forget that my parents aren't around to keep us safe up here anymore.

I walked over, pulling the keys out of my hoodie pocket on the way. Pulling the screen door open, I shoved the key into the lock and turned. In a way, I guess I was scared to open the door. I knew things weren't going to be the same, the two main people I remember in this house are gone. Still, opening the door, getting the familiar cabin smell into my nose, it felt… perfect. I stepped in slowly, eyes shifting around the ever so familiar cabin. Caroline, however, was having some problems.

"HEY! I can't get in!" She huffed loudly, crossing her arms over her chest.

I looked back and grinned. I totally forgot the whole 'invitation' rule. Time to have some fun.

"Oh, SHIT. Care, I'm sorry! John owns this house, you'd need permission from him to come in!"

"…ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" She squealed out. If fire could've shot from her mouth, I'd be singed.

Of coarse, I couldn't keep it up, because when she started freaking, I started laughing. She's so dramatic sometimes!

"Ms. Forbes, Will you please come in?" I grinned at her, holding the door open.

"YOU ARE SOOO DEAD!" She yelled, bolting into the house.

I couldn't help but laugh, I didn't scream or freak out. I knew she would never hurt me, but that didn't stop me from running like all hell. Right now, my mom and dad would be yelling at us for running in the house. I bolted up the steps as fast as I could. As much as I knew she wouldn't use her vamp speed, cause it'd ruin the fun, she was still fast. My feet carried me into my old bedroom, things still as they use to be.

"ELENA GILBERT, YOU ARE SO MEAN TO ME!" She yelled, tackling me onto the bed with as much HUMANLY force as she could muster.

I squealed loudly, smacking back into the soft stuffed animals that have been there since I was four. I almost curled up laughing, it hurt so much. It's times like this I miss the most. Just us girls being goofy. No deadly vampires, or overbearing boyfriends. Just friends.

"You're SO gonna pay for that!" She grinned down at me, her blonde braided pigtails hanging over her shoulders.

"Oh I am?" I never noticed how pretty her eyes were, like slate blueish green… I mean… what?

"Yes, you are." Her grin turned evil as her hands moved down my sides.

I knew what was coming, she was going to tickle me to death. For a spare moment, I thought I saw her eyes travel down to my cleavage. I couldn't stop myself from arching up to her touch, which just made things worse when my pelvis pressed against hers ever so slightly, causing her to jump. She looked down at me, curiosity peaking through in her eyes.

I just huffed loudly, squirming underneath her. I was trying to cause a distraction from the awkward position we were in, and how much I kind of liked t. it worked very well. She grinned mischievously, and started ruffling her fingers over my sides at vampric speed. Did I ever tell you how much it hurt to be tickled at vampire speeds? Cause it totally did, but it just made me laugh and squirm even more.

So, what have I accomplished today? My friend and I finally got here, I teased her into thinking she wouldn't be able to come in, and she then got revenge for my smartass-isms. Oh yeah, and I totally wanted to rip her clothes off in that very instant of her eyeing me up like a chew toy. I was starting to regret coming more and more. …Well not really. It was definitely going to be an interesting weekend I probably will never forget after all.
