Chapter 2: Who's that girl?
I'd like to know her name
Who's that girl?
'Cause she's driving me insane
Stefan didn't show up for dinner, in fact Lily and Enzo were the only ones at the dinner table around 6 and didn't start eating until 7. Lily ended up in the kitchen with Lucy screaming on the phone with his father for not showing up to dinner. Enzo soon excused himself after he ate and went up to his room to unpack. An hour later he hears Lily screaming again and he heard another voice, a voice he wish he didn't hear, Damon's. The two had a screaming match for fifteen minutes until Enzo heard a door two doors down slam shut.
Around 10 Enzo heard a gentle knock on his door before it opened.
"Ahh Lorenzo," Enzo turned to see his father standing by his doorway, "safe flight in?"
Enzo nodded as he sat on his bed, his father about to take a step into his room and he knew he wasn't ready for whatever shit he was going to lay on him. "Yeah I got in okay, umm father you know what I'm kind of tired now, I know you'll want to talk business with me. I was hoping we could save it for tomorrow" Enzo honestly didn't have much to say to his father right now, they were still on bad terms since the last time they spoke.
Lorenzo Sr. nodded to agree with his son, "Yes, in the morning we'll all have breakfast for Lily's sake." He could see his father hesitating to leave. "Night son." and with that Lorenzo close the door shut, walking back to his own room.
This left Enzo breathing deeply in and out for five minutes annoyed to be back in this shit town and this miserable house, he laid down closing his eyes trying to nod off. He must off been dreaming for an hour or two before he heard a crash from downstairs and then came more yelling, this time it was his father's voice he heard.
"STEFAN WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?"
"Out with friends" Stefan words were slurring.
"WHICH FRIENDS IT BETTER NOT BE THOSE MISFITS MIKAELSON"
"Lorenzo it's late please." incoming a softer voice.
"LILIAN WHEN WILL YOU TEACH YOUR SON TO BE AN ADULT, BE MORE MATURE AND STOP ASSOCIATING WITH LOW..."
"QUIT YELLING AT MY BROTHER" Enzo could hear Damon chiming in to defend Stefan, "HE CAN HANG OUT WITH WHOEVER THE FUCK HE WANTS."
"DAMON! for god sakes stay out of this." Lily responded to her oldest son. "Lets all go to bed and talk in the morning okay." It got quiet for a few seconds before Enzo heard footsteps. Damon again slammed his door and he could hear Lily muttering swears about her son's behavior.
It was an hour before Enzo could go back to sleep, this is why he avoiding this house, the drama and fighting. Everyone in town thought the Salvatore-St. Johns was this perfect noble family, that Lorenzo was the perfect husband who made a great father to his son and step kids. And while Lily was actually a great and loving wife and mother, Enzo's father wasn't a saint especially at nights after a few drinks.
When Enzo rose in the morning he could smell bacon frying, he turned to see the clock stating it was thirty minutes after 8 it's only a matter of time before Lily knocked the door so he probably should just get up and face his family.
After he showered and dressed, he walked down to the kitchen where Stefan was already sitting along with his father and Lily was helping Lucy cook.
"Enzo, morning sit have some breakfast." Lily said to him, his father didn't bother to look up from his morning paper and Stefan just waved to him shoving eggs in his mouth.
Enzo sat across from Stefan and next to his father. Grabbing three chocolate chip pancakes and putting it on his plate. "How was your night man?" Enzo asked Stefan as he reached for the syrup, "you rolled in here around what 1." He looked up to see his father had a grim look on his face. "Oh father, the Mikaelson's aren't that bad, Elijah is pretty decent, Finn as stuck up as he is has always been a complete gentleman to Lily, and Freya I heard is a nice girl, getting married from what Sarah tells me." Sarah Salvatore-Nelson, the brothers cousin on their father's side who got adopted after her parents Zach and Gail were murdered, the Nelsons were Sarah's Godparents who took her at the age of 6. Enzo first met her at the wedding for his parents, that day learning they were both going to Duke after the summer decided to stayed in touch until they met up again on orientation day, been friends for the past four years now.
Lily finally took a sat across from her husband, "Oh how is Sarah?" Lily quickly came over and changed the subject.
Enzo shrugged, "Fine, going to New York after the summer for an art program, to be honest I think she wants to move there. And worse is I don't think she has spoken to Matt about it." Matt Donovan was a deputy of Mystic Falls and Sarah's boyfriend.
"Well, I talked to her father he doesn't think it's a good idea anyways, she needs to stay close to home you kids just rushing off to get away from your parents." She cast a look at Stefan who was stuffing his mouth with pancakes.
He notice his mother gaze on him, "what?" he asked with his mouth filled, Enzo looked at him with disgusted, "Mom, University of Chicago is a great school okay, also still closer than UCLA which was my first choice by the way." Stefan was never a townie like his mother wanted him to be, he was always trying to rush off somewhere outside of Mystic Falls.
Enzo heard heavy footsteps approaching them, "Morning family." there he was Damon, the one person he's been avoiding to see for the past two years, Damon stood in front of them all with a bright grin on his face, Enzo's father was frowning at this. "Mother your breakfast smells amazing I miss this." Damon took a seat next to Stefan and picks up a fork to get some pancakes.
Lorenzo cleared his throat and finally spoke, "I must be leaving out now, Enzo your cousin Alex will be here on Sunday to talk to you about your job, please be here you know she's a busy woman." His father says to him, Enzo just nod to him.
"Yes sir." Lorenzo goes to give his wife a kiss on the cheek as they whispered goodbye to each other before he walking out.
Damon turn to Stefan, "so little brother how was your night?" Lily gave Damon a shut it look but he kept his gaze on a blushing Stefan who dropped his fork.
"Why is everyone so interested in my night." Damon finally looked over to Enzo who was avoiding his eyes, before looking back at Stefan.
"Because you're trapped between the two Mikaelson sibling who both are obsessed with you." Enzo chuckled at Damon accusation to Stefan who was now glaring at him.
Stefan wiped his mouth before responding to Damon. "Look they are just my friends I am not trapped..."
Damon cut him off, "so Klaus no longer have that raging man crush on you anymore?" he asked, Lily rolled her eyes at her older son.
"Damon! leave your brother alone." Lily gave Stefan a soft looked.
"Yeah he can't help it that Klaus is head over heels in love with him." Enzo ears perked up has he heard a new voice, a female voice entered the room, he turned around towards the entryway to see a petite golden brown skin girl standing there who was now being waved over by Damon to sit. "Morning everyone, morning Mrs. St. John." The girl walks over, Lily gave her a small smile.
"Bonnie good morning, I see Damon has fully corrupted you." Lily says, Stefan nod in agreement to his mother.
"Klaus isn't in love with me, okay Damon stop telling people that." Damon smile behind his coffee mug.
The Bonnie girl took a seat next to Enzo and across from Damon. Her sparkling green eyes glance at him, Enzo almost forgot his own name. "Bonnie, this is my step brother, Lorenzo this is my college buddy Bonnie, the new mayor's daughter." Oh this was the Bennett girl.
She smiled at him and stretched out her hand for him to shake. Enzo took a few second before shaking it, "Hi, nice to meet you." She said to him, Enzo was still tongue tied by this girl, it's been awhile that a pretty girl could make him speechless.
Extending his own hand out to her so he could shake it, Enzo replies. "Hi… Lorenzo is my father's name, my friends just call me Enzo ." he told her and for some reason was still shaking her hand for a few more seconds then he should he could hear Damon clearing his throat
"Okay enough of that Enzo, you can let go of her hand now weirdo."
Enzo dropped it, blushing madly at the fact that he was embarrassing himself in front of this girl. If she thought he was a freak she didn't show it, she just gave him a kind smile before turning back to Damon.
Bonnie took a bacon out of Damon's plate before saying "so what about Steffy and Klaus"
Stefan groaned as Damon tells her the story of what happened last night. Lily shrieked at Damon for calling his stepfather a jackass, Bonnie choked on the orange juice she was currently sipping. "Damon that's rude" Bonnie glance at Enzo looking apologetic "sorry for my friend's rudeness"
"Oh come on Bonnie it's not like Enzo doesn't know his old man is a jerkoff. They hardly get along" Damon tells Bonnie as he waited for Enzo to agree with him.
Even though he and his father have a rough relationship for the past few years he didn't like how Damon just spoke so ill of the man. Damon's father was no better than his in fact the man was worst. Enzo didn't want to encourage Damon or embarrass himself anymore in front of this charming girl.
So he just quietly got up and out of his seat and excuse himself from the table. He could feel her eyes on him as he left the kitchen and he could soon hear Lily snapping at her son.
"Mom I said I was sorry"
"Sorry isn't good enough Damon, you are always sorry, after everything you've done to that boy, kept him away from this house for years. I'm sick of it, and your behavior. This summer I want you two to make up and at least before my party be on good terms again. Which means you are gonna make things right with him or else you can pack your bags and stay at you fathers" Lily stood up quickly while Damon was left with a sour look on his face. Bonnie had never seen Mrs. St. John like this before.
"Yes mother" Damon mumbled as Stefan sniggers between his glass of orange juice watching his mother lay it thick on his older brother.
Lily gave Damon a forceful nod before removing herself from the table saying she was going to help Lucy with the garden.
It was quiet around the table for a minute before Stefan burst out laughing, a few seconds later Bonnie joined in cracking up, Damon was just left pouting pushing his food around in his plate.
Stefan finally spoke. "Dude, mom will really kick you out this time for good, remember when you were 13 and she made you spend the entire summer in New York with Dad and his new girlfriend Andie Star" Damon groaned at the thought of even being around Giuseppe and whatever new woman he was with.
Bonnie reached across the table to placed her hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry Damon, look this is a perfect opportunity to fix your relationship with your brother before moving to Baltimore this fall." With Elena going to John Hopkins, Damon agreed to get an apartment for the two of them and he also manage to get a job in public work for the city in their Fiscal Management office. "I want us to have a great time this summer since it's gonna be our last couple of months together, I want to enjoy them before we start our lives separately."
"Plus Kol is having a big summer bash at his place this weekend, invite Enzo to come" Stefan told Damon.
Damon stared at the two before breaking, "Okay fine, I'll talk with him not saying he'll forgive me."
"Wait so are you gonna tell me what happened then" Bonnie wishfully asked, Damon just gave her a of course not look before jumping up and leaving the table. Bonnie and Stefan looked at each other, she gave him curious eyes.
"No Bonnie, I won't tell you either, ask Damon, or yet you could ask Enzo, I saw you checking him out."
Bonnie threw a piece of cold bacon at Stefan, which made him snicker at her reaction, he also notice the blush creeping on her face.
