"Hey. You are Edward Cullen, right?" Maddeline asked him knowing full well that he was.
"Yes. What do you want?"
"Would you go with me to tonight's event?"
"What event?"
"Your family probably wasn't invited due to being so new to town. It is an event of the founders of the town. Since I am the eldest child of the Gilbert Family I have to be in as much founding events as I can."
Edward thought about it for a minute. "Okay. Where do you live? I'll pick you up at 7." She giggled and handed him a piece of paper before walking off back with Elena.
Madeeline looked at herself in the mirror the night of the Founder's Party, she had chosen a simple one shouldered light blue dress with matching pumps. She had just been putting on the aquamarine earrings that her mom had given her for her fifteenth birthday, when Elena came in fully dressed. "You look great," she smiled. "Want me to do your hair?"
She nodded as she followed Elena to the bathroom. She started straightening it, Maddeline couldn't help but notice how happy Elena was. She was sure that Stefan was the one making her so happy. She had promised Caroline that she wouldn't say anything, but Elena was her sister she deserved to know. "I had lunch with Caroline yesterday, she's going to the party with Damon."
"Really? Caroline doesn't seem like Damon's type." Elena replied. "Speaking of which Tyler came to get some stuff for Mrs. Lockwood today. It seems Jeremy and him are fighting over Vicki and that he cheated on you."
Maddeline nodded. "Did you know that Stefan has an interesting backstory? With a girl named Katherine?"
Maddeline felt Elena stiffen. "Yes, Stefan mentioned her. It seems they both dated her and have issues."
"Well apparently Stefan didn't tell you the whole story. Apparently, Katherine choose Damon and that drove Stefan mad and he turned Katherine against Damon. I just wanted you to know you're my sister and I don't want you to get hurt."
Elena squeezed her shoulder gently. "I trust, Stefan. It seems everything you told me it's from Damon's point of view. I can trust Stefan."
When Edward saw Maddeline he was surprised. She was not wearing something that screams that she was looking for attention. In fact, he loved the dress eh was wearing. It was not too tight, yet not too loose. One shouldered and stopped mid thigh in a beautiful light blue color that complimented her eyes. He would be lying if he said he wasn't attracted to her.
The night went well. He learned that the Gilberts were actually of the first settlers in Mystic Falls over 145 years he was dropping her off, strangely he walked her to the door.
And even to his surprise, before she walked in, he gave her a kiss before vanishing into the car.
Internally, he cursed his actions. But, he still didn't regret them.
