He glanced at the clock. She was late. Ten minutes to be exact.

Elijah tapped his fingers against his cup, waiting for his future wife to appear. He sighed and was about to order another coffee when Katherine sat down across the table from him.

"Sorry, I'm late" She apologized, though her attention seemed somewhere else.

"Katherine, are you fine." Elijah questioned though Katherine didn't reply, her eyes stopped on one person in particular.

Elijah followed Katherine's gaze and he didn't not know what to think as Katherine glanced back at him.

"That's my ex. Damon." She informed him, "He's been trying to get back with me after I broke up with him six months ago."

"Do you still hold feelings for this man?" He asked.

"What? No!" She said, attracting the attention of the raven haired man as he headed towards their table.

"Great." She groaned and then grabbed Elijah's hand, "Play along please." She begged.

He nodded and signaled the waitress over.

"What would you like to eat?" He questioned and Katherine stared at him.

How could he be so calm when her ex lover was coming to confront them?

"I'll just have a chicken salad." She replied quickly, running her hand through her hair in distress. "Hopefully after this I can find some Vodak." She mumbled.

"Katherine. Katherine Pierce, is that you?" She froze.

She turned around and faked a smile, "Damon. Damon Salvatore, it's been a while."

Elijah coughed.

Damon glanced over to him," Am I interrupting something?"

"Oh sorry, Damon this is my boyfriend Elijah, Elijah this is Damon." She introduced properly.

Elijah eyed him before placing his hand forward, "Nice to meet you mate."

Damon stared at his hand before hesitantly shaking his hand," Great meeting you too, man."

Katherine watched with sudden eagerness for Damon to leave, "So what brings you here?" She questioned, even though she knew that he was there for her.

She was met with shock,"Actually I was gonna have a meeting with my client, in five minutes." He replied as he checked his watch.

"Maybe we can catch up during lunch tomorrow?" His eyes landed on Katherine, making her slightly uncomfortable, which Elijah noticed.

"Sorry mate, Katherine and I have important to discuss over lunch tomorrow as well, maybe another time?" He flashed a quick smile.

"Uhh sure, Kat my number still the same, just call me whenever." He winked before he left.

Relief washed over her body as she watched Damon leave.

"Thank you." She said.

Elijah nodded as the waitress brought over their food.

"Katherine, I want to thank you for doing this favor." He started, "Although I noticed that you don't like to talk about your family but I can not go on marrying you without knowing about your background."

Katherine smiled slightly, who was she kidding, this was Klaus' noble brother. If someone had to know about her past, it might as well be her future husband.

"It's long story, Elijah." She sighed, "Which means you better pay attention." She played around with her fork.

Kol laid on the couch in his parent's home, watching some random show. Like him, his younger sister, Rebekah settled in their parent's mansion as they attended a college.

"Where is Lijah?" Rebekah questioned as she walked into the family living room.

Kol raised an eyebrow at his sister's choice of red dress, "Have a date, little sister?"

She narrowed her baby blues on him, "Possibly, but I couldn't find Lijah today."

"Perhaps it's because he's too busy with his new girlfriend." Klaus responded as he walked through the hallway.

"Nik."Bekah squealed as she tackled him into a hug, "What are you doing here?"

Klaus smiled, "Just needed to pick up some stuff."

Kol nodded, "Mother has left your room untouched." He stopped, "So has our darling brother has finally moved on?" He wagged his eyebrows, remembering that Rebekah knew nothing of Elijah and Klaus's deal.

"I may have introduced him to one of my many friends." Klaus started off but was interrupted.

"It seems that you've finally done something right for once, boy." Mikael Mikaelson walked into the living room with his wife Esther trailing behind her.

Esther smiled at her middle son before turning to her husband,"Where is Elijah at this moment?"

"Having lunch with his new lady friend. Going off of what he told me earlier." Klaus responded.

Behind him, Mikael clapped with growing grin,"We'll ask him once he gets back."

As if cued, Elijah walked through the door that lead to the family living room with wide smile. Which did not go unnoticed by his family, especially Kol, who took full advantage of his brother's good mood.

"Lijah bear, what's got you in such a happy mood." Kol sang as everyone but Elijah rolled their eyes at his immaturity.

"Oh. I was out with a friend."He replied hanging his coat on the rack.

"Since when do you have friends?" Rebekah questioned raising her eyebrows.

"You wound me, Bekah." Elijah smiled wider. Leaving her more suspicious and Kol and Klaus more curious about what Katherine did to him,

What had she done to place Elijah in such a cheerful mood?

"And you are sure that this friend is only a friend, my son?" Esther spoke up.

Elijah glanced at her, "I can't tell you what the future holds." With that he walked out the room leaving the family with mixed emotions.

"Can I be the first to say that...his mood was strange even for Lijah?" Klaus questioned aloud leaving Rebekah to agree.

"I think it's about time that Elijah has gotten over that wretched girl, Tatia." Rebekah said.

"Let's hope for Elijah's sake, this girl has what he desires." Mikael said watching his son leave.

Katherine was only a few moments away from reaching her home, when she stopped. Today was just not her day.

A girl sat on her door steps, playing with her straight brunette hair.

Elena. A face that Katherine wished never to see again. Yet there she was on front door waiting for her.

Katherine was about to turn and walk the other direction, but it was too late, Elena had spotted her.

"Katherine!" She stood up as Katherine plastered on a fake smile and walked towards her.

"Elena, what are you doing here?"

She looked down at her feet, "Katherine, I know that you may hate our family, but please just for once come home. Please." She looked up with her doe eyes, "They miss you, more than you even know."

Katherine stood there crossing her arms as she felt anger serge through her, "If they truly love me, they would have came for me." She hissed leaving Elena at a loss for words.

"So now if you'll excuse me." She gave Elena a gently but rough push off her front door and searched through her purse for the keys.

"How can you be so selfish?" Elena questioned, her widening.

That set Katherine off. She was finished with people trying to tell that she selfish for never wanting to talk to her family.

"Me! Selfish?!"

"Yes!" She yelled back, "Did you even think about meeting your family at all?" Her voice leveling Katherine's.

"For fuck's sake. I do all the damn time. OKAY! I constantly wonder what it would be like to be back in a family that would love me unconditionally." Katherine cheeks burned with anger, " But they were the ones that abandoned ME!" As she fumbled with the keys to the locks.

"Leave me alone Elena!" She said softly as she opened her door. "Respect my decision to stay away from them."

Elena was very crestfallen as she saw that Katherine's mind wasn't going to change. It was probably for the best then if she stayed away for a while.

She stepped back, "You'll always have a home with us, Katherine. Never forget that." With that she walked the opposite direction, never looking back.

Katherine watched her leave with a heavy heart and she walked into her house, shutting the door locked behind her and ran to her office. She scattered the place until, she found what she wanted.

A phone number.

With a steady breath she fell down leaned on the door as she heard the dial tone ring.

"Hello"

"Hi, Mommy. I miss you." Katherine said wiping her tears away.

Hi! Miss me? Sorry for the late update. I had a writer's block for this story until I watched a YouTube video that gave me inspiration.
