After 5 years -

"Elena, Rose is here to see you" I heard Jenna and climbed out of bed to see Rose. I went downstairs and saw Rose sitting on the couch playing with 4 year old Anna, Jenna and Alaric's daughter.
"Elena" she said cheerfully and I smiled at her.

Rose was short hight girl with black eyes, her blond hairs were short and she was my only friend after Bonnie and okay.. I don't want to think about that. I stopped my thoughts and made my way towards Rose. I dropped in the second year of my college because I didn't wanted to be a doctor. I wanted to be a writer and when one day I got frustrated and talked to Jenna about it, she asked me listen my heart and so I dropped college. I had not so much friends because I avoided talking to anyone in college. Rose met me during my literature degree and she was just as passionate as me for writing. She was an intern in some Publication house ,on the other hand I was still working on my skills before applying to any company.

"Hello Rose" I sat beside her.
"I did something but promise me you won't freak out" she turned to me and watched my expressions as I gulped.

What could she possibly do to made me upset? It's not like I have a boyfriend and he cheated on me with her or she gets in a relationship with someone I love. I felt disgusting about my thoughts. It's been 5 years and the memories of that day were still haunting me. Everything fall apart that day. I and Stefan lost the two most important person of our life.

"Hello" Rose waved in front of me and I came into the reality.
"Yeah?"
"You won't get angry? Promise." She made a puppy face and I rolled my eyes

"Spill. I know you can't do anything to hurt me Rose" I stated the obvious and she sighed.
"You are so perfect in writing and it bother me to see you wasting your talent" she started and I nodded her to continue. "My boss asked me to hand him an article and I gave him the short story you have written a weak ago." My mouth fall open but she continued. "You gave me to read it but it was so good and I wanted you to be something with your talent"

"How could you Rose. I hadn't even gave it a finishing touch" I stood from the couch and she also.
"You really think that. My boss called me and when I tried to apologize for Handing him wrong papers ,he shut me up saying, he is offering job to whoever wrote this paper." She finished.
"Your boss don't even know me" I said.
"That's the thing Elena. He appreciate person's talent not person. He wants to meet you" she looked at me and I avoided her eyes.
Jenna came from behind and lifted Anna in her arms.
"Is everything alright? You guys seems little nervous" she asked. Rose being Rose told her everything and Jenna being Jenna jumped in the joy.
"I don't think I'm ready" I said and they both turned to me in a defeated look.
"Comeon Elena. You need to do this." Jenns said and Rose nodded.
"Okay but what if your boss rejects me after the meeting?" I said.
"He won't" Rose assured me. "Now. Go get ready" she said and I went upstairs to change.

I opened my cupboard and started searching for my certificates but I found something else. It was my high school diary and I opened it. It reads..

Dear Diary,

I lost them both. The two important person of life. The one I never realized loved too much and the one who was my best friend since childhood. I can't believe it's really happening. Damon left last night and when I went to boarding house, I saw Stefan crying. He told me that Damon has left to live with their mother. Their parents were divorced and Stefan and Damon lived with their father. Damon never liked his father and when their father left to make money, he must have connected to his was so heartbroken. He blamed himself that his own brother turned his back on him but I told him it was my fault. I forgive him in the process and we discussed about everything. He told me that we never really had that thing between us, the thing we share with the two (Damon & Caroline) and I agreed with him. It was always Damon and I pushed him away from me. I refused to let him know I also loved him. I refused. This morning we decided to visit Caroline. I wanted to make things good between Stefan and Caroline but we came to know Caroline had alread left to somewhere and liz told us that she doesn't want anyone to know about her where abouts. That time we both came to know how much we had hurted them without intentions.

I noticed the ink was spread and remembered how much I cried that day. I picked up a picture of Damon and me gazing at each other and smiling. A secret smile that he used to give me. Stefan and I are still in contact. He is a doctor here in Los Angeles. We stayed as good friends. I stared at the back of the picture '14 november. #birthdayboy'. Tomorrow was Damon's birthday. It's not like we never searched for Caroline or Damon. We did but not that much because some where we both knew we won't be able to face them. I sighed. I took out a red top and black jeans and matched it with brown leather jacket. I went into the bathroom take shower. I dried my hairs and straightened them. I haven't changed much over these years except my hairs grew little longer.
"Elena. Breakfast is ready" I heard Jenna shouting and shoved my documents in my purse before leaving for breakfast.
Breakfast was silent. I wish Alaric was here to guide me but he was on his little business trip. Talking about my brother he is an artist now and is happily married to his girlfriend Annabelle. They are still in mystic falls and I moved to Los Angeles with Jeena and Ric two weeks ago. My best friend Matt is married to Sarah Salvatore. I and Stefan expected Damon to be there but he never came. Liz also moved somewhere after Caroline and we lost contact with her too.
I finshed my breakfast and Rose offered me a ride. After two hours drive approximately, I broke the silence.
"Where are we going? I don't even know where you work." I looked at Rose and she shrugged.
"See yourself" she parked in a big parking lot and I gasped. It was big building with a 'S' word written in the center. The name of the publishing house was not visible as some workers were re modling the name.
"Come on" Rose started walking and I followed her in the big building.
Many people gave me a look 'she is not going to fit here' but I ignored them.

"Jess, can you please tell me if boss is free. It's urgent" Rose smiled and a blond girl snapped her head up.
"You can meet him. He just finished a meeting but he is free now" she said.
"Thanks" Rose hold my hand and dragged me to the corner. "You're going to meet boss. Just don't screw up. Okay. He is a nice person but his anger is just.." She waved her hand in air to tell me her boss was short tempered.

"Why do call him boss?" I asked and we started walking to Rose's boss office.
"I liked calling him boss. He also questioned me this but i like it in this way" she shrugged and I nodded.
"Boss?" She knocked the door.
"Comein Rose" I heard a voice from other side and my heat skipped a beat. I know this voice. No. But it can't be. It's impossible.
Rose dragged me with her into the room and I didn't dare to saw the figure sitting in front of me.
"Boss. She is here. The one whose writing skills you praised yesterday" Rose said and I looked up at him. He was reading the newspaper. He haven't seen me yet. He was just as beautiful as I remembered. I was right. It was none other than Damon Salvatore. It's good to leave before he see me.

"Ahmm" he hummed, still looking into the newspaper. I stared behind him the company's name 'Sara Publishing House'. Sara , it was his mother's name.
"I remembered something. I need to go" I choked and turned to leave but Rose hold my hand and glared at me.
"Sorry Rose. I was.." I looked at him and he froze as his eyes met mine.
"So here she is. Elena Gilbert" Rose gestureed towards me and turned to leave. "I'm right outside. Behave" she whispered and left, leaving me alone With Damon.
I turned to him as she left, he was still staring at me.
"You're staring" I chuckled nervously but he didn't laugh.
"Have a seat Ms. Gilbert" he said coldly and I flinched. He didn't take my name.
"Thank you Mr. Salvatore" I matched his tone and sat in front of him. This day was turning into something interesting.

Stefan's POV -

"Thanks. Dr. Salvatore. You're so perfect at your job" the old lady smiled at me as I signed her discharge paper.
I wentto my office and relaxed on my chair. It was a hectic week and I haven't slept well. Being a doctor was a tough job because you were involved in every way. "Dr. Salvatore, a new patient has arrived. She is in a terrible state" Nora came to me and I sighed.
"You look tired. It's okay. I'll call Dr. Rebecca then" she said immediately.
"No. No. It's fine. Dr. Rebecca is busy with other patient. I'm gonna attend this patient" I smiled assuredly.
"Are you sure?" She asked once again and I nodded.
Nora made her way towards the patient and I followed her.
As soon as she opened the room. I stopped. "Here. Caroline Forbes" Nora gestured towards the Blond beauty who was talking to black haired man sitting beside her.
"Ok" I said and Caroline's face snapped towards me. I wonder How much she still recognise my voice.
"Hello" I smiled and made my way towards them. "I want to go from here Enzo. Please" she started panicking.
"You're not fine love. Please try to understand" he placed his hand on her forehead and she blinked.
"Dr. Salvatore. I'm Enzo, fiance of this beautiful girl. Please have a look at her. She is been vomiting over a week. Please tell she is not pregnant" the dark haired man smiled and Caroline hit his arm playfully. I flinched. Caroline was engaged. Enzo stood up.
"Sure" I smiled tightly. I made my way towards Caroline and placed my hand on her forehead. I could feel her cheeks turning red. She turned her face to an other side to get away from my touch.
Enzo's phone rang and he excused himself for a bit.
"How are you?" I said quietly and took a seat beside her.

"Yeah. I'm feeling perfectly fine. I'm actually wondering why am I even in the hospital if I'm fine" she said sarcastically and I looked at Caroline.
She sighed. "Okay fine. I'm feeling tired these days. I'm not getting good sleep and I even went unconscious sometimes."
"Do you eat on time?" I asked.
"Yeah" she nodded but I know she was lying.
"You're not pregnant" I smiled.
"I know. It can't happen because we never.." She stopped and looked away. I couldn't help but laugh. She haven't changed a bit.
"Stop laughing Dr. Salvatore" she said and I stopped. She didn't called my name.

"Okay. The symptoms are clearly saying that you're not taking care of yourself. You aren't eating on time. You're giving time to your work but not your health" I concluded.
"You're right Mr. Salvatore" Enzo came from behind and I wanted to punch him for getting into our conversation.
"Enzo. I want to go home" Caroline made a puppy face and Enzo kissed her forehead. "Okay love."
"I'm writing some medicines but they won't work until she try" I said seriously.
Enzo nodded.

"Thank you Mr. Salvatore. We went to various doctors but they gave only medicines. You gave advice I wanted to hear." The guy really love her.
"Caroline. Damon was asking about you" he said I shocked on hearing my brother's name.
"You didn't tell him. Did you?" Caroline gasped.
"Well I can't lie to your best friend either he will cut me in half" Enzo said sarcastically. Caroline and Damon are in contact with each other. Best friends? Soon they leave the hospital and I called Elena. This day was turning into something very interesting.

So here's the big twist guys. Ñow you will see Elena wanting Damon and Steroline's endless love for each other. Give your reviews about it.
