The Good Roommate
Chapter 2
Elena woke up that morning remembering the one promise that she told her aunt that she would keep and that was that she would try and be friends with her roommate no matter what. Elena knew that she would have to keep that promise no matter what she had to do to achieve it. She was a Gilbert and Gilbert's were anything but quitters. So as soon as she got dressed, she approached Caroline and smiled.
"Hey Roomie, what do you say we go grab something to eat in the cafeteria? Maybe we can talk about girl stuff and learn more about each other?"
"Okay. Sounds like a plan."
After a couple minutes, they were on their way to the cafeteria when a girl with brown hair threw a drink at Caroline. What the hell was going on there?
Before Elena could say anything the girl slapped Caroline and grabbed her by the face.
"What the hell is a matter with you? Do you just love trying to steal my man? Well i'm not going to take it Caroline not anymore."
Before the girl could do anything more Elena was in front of the girl shielding Caroline. She didn't know what Caroline had done wrong, but she wasn't going to let this girl scatter her all over the cafeteria either.
"What's going on here?"
"She slept with my boyfriend is what's going on." The girl shouted at Elena like she was some sort of idiot.
"Hayley, i'm so sorry it was just some stupid drunken night and I regret it."
"No you don't, but I promise you will someday."
Hayley spat in Elena and Caroline's face before she walked away with her group behind her. Elena sighed wiping the spit from her face and turning towards Caroline.
"I think we should go grab some food and talk about what just happened. "
Caroline nodded as she followed Elena to their table after grabbing some food. Elena sighed and looked at Caroline.
"So tell me what happened?"
"Me and Klaus had been friends for a while and we were in his room the other night just caughting up on how our life was going he never mentioned Hayley until it was too late. We were just talking and one thing led to another and we-"
"Slept together?"
"Yeah. I swear I didn't know Hayley was his girlfriend. I didn;t even know she existed until after Klaus and I had already done the deed."
"I'm so sorry that happened Caroline."
"I just want her to understand that I didn't mean it."
"There are somethings we can't understand Caroline."
Caroline nodded looking at the window. Elena turned her head and noticed what Caroline was looking at. Hayley was outside with who she assumed was Klaus and they were kissing. Caroline shouldn't torture herself like this she deserved something more.
Elena looked around until she found the perfect opportunity to cheer Caroline up.
"Hey. I got an idea to cheer you up."
"I'm not sad Elena I'm just-"
"Hurt. Which is why you need this."
"And what do you suggest I need Elena?" Caroline said in a bitter voice.
"A party. I mean what else."
"You want me to go to a party when I just got dumped and humiliated?"
"It's better than sitting around our dorm room stuffing your face with ice cream when you could be going to a party and making out with other guys."
Caroline shrugged and looked out at Klaus and Hayley again.
"There's only one guy that I want."
"Fine than go to make him jealous. Go out. Drink. Look sexy and hot because you are a hot little number from what I can tell. Show him you can do better for yourself."
"You know what fine ill go to the party but it better be killer."
"I'[m sure it will be."
Elena smiled as she looked at her outfit in the full length mirror examining every part of it with a mindful eye. The dress was a nice shade of green with some black patterns swirling around it. She looked amazing and she had picked a nice outfir for Caroline too.
"Okay i'm ready!" Caroline yelled stepping out
She had opted for a purple ruffled cami and some booty shorts.
"Oh girl you look smokin." Elena said making Caroline laugh.
"Alright crazy, let's head out."
The party was heating up as they stepped into it. Booze and men were everywhere with woman flirting all around. It looked and felt like a real life college party and it even seemed like Caroline was having fun until she saw something. Caroline was dancing and twirling around as Klaus approached. She stopped dead in her tracks and walked over towards him. She had to stop this, but before she could a girl stepped in her way. She swore she had seen this girl before but she didn't know how.
"Elena-Elena Gilbert?"
She looked at the girl sighing. She guessed Caroline could hold the fort with Klaus for a little while.
"Ugh, Yeah, who-who are you?"
"This might be awkward, but my name is Megan, your parents actually treated me a couple of times when I was little and I just wanted to tell you that i'm-I'm sorry that you had to lose them. They were great people."
Elena nodded not willing to bond with this total stranger over her parents.
"I-I have to go."
"Well it was nice meeting you Elena."
Elena nodded and went over to the kegger. She really needed a drink and she needed one now. Caroline was no where in sight and neither was Klaus which meant she would have to find them soon enough. She sighed and took a swig of her beer befroe she got up and bumped into a guy with black hair and blue eyes making her spill the contents of her beer down her dress. Perfect this was just perfect.
"Ugh. Watch where you're going would you?" she said rolling her eyes and moving away from him.
"Whatever you say princess." She shook her head ignoring him She had to go find Caroline.
She was outside looking around when the worst thng happened. She heard a loud scream behing her and than a thud before she turned around to look who it was. Elena screamed covering her mouth as she looked upon the body of Megan. What the hell had just happened?
Elena got down to her knees and checked for Megan's pulse but there wasn't one. How the hell had this happened? She looked up to see what had happened but no one was there. What had happened to this girl?
Elena screamed when she felt a hand touching her, but calmed down as soon as she saw it was Caroline. Where had she been?
"It's okay Elena. You're okay. Let's let's get you checked out. The police are gonna want your statement of what she saw."
Elena nodded as Caroline took her to the police to tell what she had saw.
