Elena fluttered her eyes open. She looked down and saw somebody playing with their thumbs. She found this funny but was so tired that she could respond to the silliness. She didn't know who's shoulder she was up against but she didn't care. She adjusted herself and then cuddled up against the warm arm and she put her head deep into the person's neck. Then she realized that whoever it was they were still a vampire. So she moved away from the body and she opened her eyes. She looked around and moved around to the driver's seat but then she moved back. She saw Kol still playing with his thumbs but he was awkwardly sneaking little peaks at Elena.

"Where is umm" asked Elena but she was cut off by Kol.

"Out" said Kol. He instantly regretted saying that so rudely and he also cut her off. Not a good way to start off a conversation.

"Okay" Elena muttered.

"Sorry" muttered Kol.

Elena smiled "what" cupping her hand to her ear. Kol smiled at her and then he looked back at his thumbs.

"I'm sorry for cutting you off, I'm sorry for scaring you the other night" he said looking up at Elena with a bit of a serious face. Elena's face went serious automatically thinking that he was going into a full apology. Then he started to chuckle and Elena did a tiny laugh but then looked at his thumbs.

"Is that a game" asked Elena pointing at his thumbs.

"No um when I was a kid when Finn would go hunting he would tell me to play with my thumbs and not to touch the arrows" said Kol chuckling "I guess it just stuck with me".

"That's cute how you still do that" said Elena "you know after all of those years".

"Yeah I guess" said Kol looking out the window hoping not to ruin the bond that they seemed to be making. Elena took that move as "I'm not interested" or "this is awkward". Either way Elena had to turn around slowly and look out the window. It seemed like they were in a parking lot or something like that. The window was open and that let in cold air which led Elena to start to shiver and chatter her teeth. She turned away from the window but that just made her chatter more. Then she smelt burnt coffee from Dunkin Doughnuts and she despised that smell. Jenna would always make bad and burnt coffee because she was trying to help her and Jeremy. So Elena didn't say anything. Now this really just annoyed her. Klaus and Finn came out of nowhere and walked towards the car. Elena decided to move to the back. She got out of the car and went for the back seat which would hopefully be hers. Klaus and Finn got in the car from the same door so Kol was forced to move over to the very left of the BMW. Elena shivered and started to rub her skin. Klaus looked back but didn't say anything and didn't do anything. Elena wanted to say something but she didn't.

"I'd offer you a jacket but I don't have one maybe your boyfriend can" said Klaus laughing at Kol. Kol looked out the window in embarrassment.

"No I'm fine" said Elena chattering. Great that's a great way to say you're not freezing.

"I think there is a blanket in the back" said Finn. Elena turned around to find a BMW complimentary blanket sitting behind her. She shrugged but took it down and covered her body with it. Klaus started the car and gave Finn a map. Elena looked down and found a bag. She took the bag up and started to put the bag on the seat so she could use it as a pillow. She tried to adjust it so it would comfortable. She put her head down on it and it was soft almost water like. She got comfortable and then she realized what was inside and sat up and but the bag back down with a bad feeling starting to erupt in her stomach. She lowered herself back down and tried to get some rest. She wasn't even tired but it was better than awkward conversations with Kol.

"So how was your sleep" asked Klaus. Elena didn't answer thinking he was asking her.

"Elena I'm asking you" said Klaus moving his head back thinking she had gone back to sleep. It was almost like she was in hibernation.

"Nice and long" said Elena closing her eyes tight.

"Good cause we have a long day" said Klaus.

"Does it involve me in a hospital" asked Elena.

"If you don't do anything stupid then yes" said Klaus.

"Mhm" hummed Elena. She was so tired though. She didn't want to go out and make hybrids and run around doing Hybrid stuff. She didn't want to be there but again did she have a choice. NO. She felt like a doll that everybody wanted but the doll never wanted to be with the person she wanted. Elena felt her pocket turn over and she felt an I-Pod. "What it true" Elena asked herself. She sat up straight and grabbed whatever was inside her right pocket. Nothing. Then she felt inside her left pocket and felt an I- Touch and ear phones.

"YES" Elena said with excitement holding her I-pod up like it was a trophy.

"Well I didn't know you where that excited about going" said Klaus.

"No I just have my I-Pod" said Elena smiling "now I won't have to pretend to sleep any more".

"You where pretending" said Finn looking back.

"Well I wanted to avoid confrontation or speaking" said Elena picking a song on her I-Touch. She only had 79% battery left which was a lot but she had to make it last.

"Well consider the front seat hurt" said Klaus sarcastically.

Elena chuckled but put the ear phones in and put on "Keep Your Head Up" by Andy Grammer. "Who knows" Elena said to herself. Maybe it would make her feel better. Elena laid down and snuggled under the blankets. For some reason she thought of Stefan. (Remember this story is after 3x9)Stefan was a blurry subject for her. She couldn't let go of him but she felt that she had to. She felt that Stefan was not the same person and that trying to bring him back was next to impossible. The night of Homecoming was the night she felt that Stefan and her had officially broken up. Before it was just Elena hoping to fix Stefan and it would be so romantic. But Ripper Stefan wasn't going to break any time soon according to Damon. Elena wondered in that particular car ride if she should just let Stefan go and find somebody knew. Some body normal. Well at least kind of. Elena actually kind of liked Stefan as a vampire because he was so strong. But Elena hated the biting and compulsion so Elena crossed that option out. But then Elena thought of the guy sitting in the front seat. Kol was different than other vampires. He did normal things like playing with his thumbs. He acted like a teenager when he saw Elena naked. Elena thought Kol was pretty hot when she really thought about it. Elena actually thought more about Kol and their conversation and realized she actually flirted with him a little bit. "Ohhhhhh" Elena thought to herself. Elena soon realized that Kol turned around to the window because he felt awkward and that this girl he just met was flirting with him. And he had just gotten out of a coffin and judging from his looks he had been in their since the late 60's or 70's. Elena instantly felt so stupid and embarrassed. She knew she would soon become the laughing stock of the car when Kol blabbed to Klaus and Finn about her bad flirting. At this point though Elena didn't care. She just decided to go to bed and hopefully actually go to bed. The song changed to her album of Coldplay. "Great" she thought depressing, great, romantic songs.

After an hour they stopped and Elena was still awake.
