Elena rubbed her eyes and yawned. She looked to her side, and took the water. Ten seconds later, the glass was drained. She noticed a note that used to be under the glass of water. Unfolding it, she read:
Went to get stuff.
Don't get up or I'll kill you.

Elena yawned, but got up. She was extremely hungry. One sandwich wouldn't hurt...

The Michelson children, excluding Rebekah and Finn, sat in the living room, deep in thought. Klaus was closest to the fire, drawing and thinking of Caroline. Elijah sat at the opposite end of the couch from Elijah, thinking of Elena and why she'd invited his sister into her house. Even Kol, usually against all kinds of thought, was intrigued by Ms. Bennett.
A slamming of the door interrupted all their thoughts. Rebekah passed through the hallway and passed the room, then with a furrowed brow, popped her head into the room.
"Why's it so quiet?"Rebekah asked, slight fear in her voice.
All her brothers realized none of them had been talking, and suddenly, Rebekah burst into laughter.
"What?"Klaus asked irritably.
"There's only one reason all my brothers would be quiet."Rebekah remarked."Who are the lucky ladies?"
All the brothers blushed, and Kol smirked, trying to hide his blush."Rich from you 'bekah."
Rebekah glared at Kol, and Elijah and Klaus looked Rebekah with surprise.
"Has someone enchanted our little 'bekah's heart?" Klaus asked with mock and surprise.
Rebekah blushed,"Says the man enchanted by Ms. Forbes."
Kol snickered, and Klaus retaliated,"At least I'm not in love with a certain doppelganger." Klaus said looked pointedly at Elijah.
Elijah blushed,"That may be so, but even our little Kol is in love with Ms. Bennett."
Everyone looked at Kol with surprise, and Kol glared back," Well I'm not in love with Matt Donovan."
All attention was back to Rebekah, who huffed."There's no one else to pin attention to." She grumbled.
Everyone chuckled, and Rebekah continued her journey to her room, and started packing.
"Bonnie Bennett? Really Kol?" Klaus said with a snicker.
Kol glared,"At least I'm not in love with yet another doppelganger."
Elijah pursed his lips,"Well, I'm not in love with 'Miss Mystic Falls'." He said mockingly.
All the boys remained glaring at each other until Rebekah wheeled her suitcase past the room. All the brothers looked at each other with confusion, then Klaus shouted,"'Bekah!"
With reluctance and a sigh, Rebekah walked back, suitcase behind her.
"What's the suitcase for?" Kol asked.
"It seems Elena's sick and I can't just leave her alone. I'll be gone a few days." Rebekah replied.
Klaus raised an eyebrow."Since when did you and Elena become friends?"
Rebekah glared at him,"If that's it, I'll be on my way."
"I'll come with you." Elijah replied, followed by snickers by his other siblings.
Rebekah murmured an okay, and they were out the door.

Rebekah and Elijah walked through the door to hear Elena and someone else talking in the kitchen. Rebekah stomped toward the kitchen, and said irritably," I thought I said no getting up! It could make you-" Rebekah stopped mid sentence to Matt Donovan in front of her.
"I was just hungry, and Matt dropped by and made me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich." Elena said weakly.
Rebekah schooled her features and looked sternly at Elena."No excuse! Up to bed!"
Elena complained tiredly, and Elijah helped her up the stairs.
"I really appreciate you looking after Elena while she's sick. She said some really nice things about you." Mat said, a bit shyly.
Rebekah blushed,"Well... you would have done the same."
Matt looked quizzically."Have you seen you're family? No I wouldn't have."
Rebekah laughed, and Matt said,"But you? I would."
Rebekah smiled,"Thank you."
Matt smiled,"Well, excuse me if I'm being too forward, but the Decade Dance is coming up, and I was wondering if you'd go wit-"
"YES."Rebekah answered."Yes, I'd love to."
Upstairs, Elena is heavily leaning on Elijah and half asleep in his arms. He smiled at the little sleepy, sick human in his arms.
He laid her down in her bed, and tucked her in. He was sitting on the side of her bed, and was about to get up, when a sudden hand entwined their hands. Elijah looked down with surprise to see a half asleep Elena clutching his hand as if it were it was a lifeline.
"Hello." She whispered.
Elijah's smile widened,"Hello, lovely Elena. You should be getting some sleep."
Elena frowned and squeezed his hand.."Don't go."
He looked into her eyes and saw she wasn't going to settle for less than staying with her. He felt his own control waning.
"Okay." He murmured.
Elijah lightly disconnected his hand from hers, albeit reluctantly. He untied and took off his shoes, the tie, jacket, and belt. He unbuttoned a few of his shirt buttons and laid next to Elena.
After a few seconds of comfortable silence with Elijah's closed, he felt something move onto his chest. He opened his eyes to find Elena's head atop his chest, eyes closed.
Instead of pushing her of his chest and leaving, he rearranged their positions slightly so he could rest his head on hers. He felt arms encircle him, and Elena further cuddled into his side.
Both fell asleep with content smiles on their faces.
