Hey guys, this is going to be more of a fun chapter to fill the void as Matt heads off. I would say its not important but it actually is pertaining to other characters.

Chapter 7

"Are we all ready?" Matt asked as he walked into the living room.

"Yup and were so excited too!" Oh Damon and his sarcastic remarks. I shot him a grin that was half heartedly cold for being so sarcastic and very loving at the same time. He took my jacket from off the couch and helped me get it on.

"Thanks." I whispered loud enough for only him to hear with his vampire senses.

"So where are we headed off to?" Bonnie inquired.

"Its not far its five blocks west and I know the owner, should be able to get a table ."

"How are we getting there?" Veronica asked, comment four of this little trip.

"Like any other people in New York City your going to learn to walk."

"Damon I dont know if thats such a good idea I have heels on and theyre not great walking shoes." I bargained with him. Five blocks I dont know if I could do it.

When we got to the resturaunt, I was shocked at how easy it was too walk in heels, maybe I should try running in them. I chuckled at the idea.

"Now was that so hard ladies?"

Everyone just simultaneously groaned as Tyler healed open the door for everyone. He didnt seem like he was in such a great mood this morning, maybe Matt was right maybe he was here to try and steal away Caroline... They did have unfinished business.

When we sat down at the table everyone immediately ordered food including Damon which shocked me because whenever Stefan and I went out to eat, Stefan would never get anything.

"Youre eating?"

"What Saint Stefan doesnt eat people food? Well I guess you eat puppy blood you eat puppy food! Although I though he adapted his diet to be more suitable... Well whatever"

"So if you drink normally enough you can eat?"

"Yupp"

When our food came there was silence because everyone was enjoying their meal. After everyone was done with their largely portioned and highly priced pancakes we started to discuss Matt.

"Are you really leaving?" Bonnie asked.

"Yes I am."

"Matt you know were gunna miss you!" I said.

"Elenas right." Jeremy said innocently.

"I think we should get going now, I need to pack and some of you guys have reservations to make for later." Matt said as if he were upset about leaving, or just upset in general.

Later back at the house Damon had made a reservation for a fancy resturaunt for dinner. This would be our first official date, and I had nothing to wear on it. Maybe I could round up the girls and go shopping later. Just then my thought was interrupted by the sound of screaming and yelling.

"Im telling you I chose who I want!"

"Youre choosing Edward Cullen on Steroids Caroline? Hes not what you really want I am!"

"You are crazy Tyler, you have a date dont you go find her."

"I only brought her here to make you jealous, I see how well that worked out!"

"You and I are natural born enemies ok, so listen to me carefully there is no way that a relationship between us could ever happen. I would never cheat on Stefan."

"You know you have said all of that before and quite frankly I dont know what to believe from you anymore Caroline!"

"Why dont you go back to Mystic Falls with Matt, and send your date back to wherever you bought her from you probably couldve picked her up on one of the corners of these streets, it probably wouldnt have cost you as much!"

"She is a classy lady! Dont speak about her that way! And you know what seeing as the only reason I came here in the first place is gone and turned into some kind of an animal, I will go home Im sure theres more chance of me picking up a lady there than here."

"Good!"

"Goodbye then!"

I was shocked at what I just heard. Damon and stefan were out getting blood from bloodbanks, and probably having another brotherly chat... I dont even want to know what that one was about.

Now about half of the people that came with us here for after prom were leaving. I knew it was only 3 but I poured myself a scotch of Damons good stuff. It burned in my throat and it took the edge off of all my problems. As I was finishing the glass Damon and Stefan walked in not looking too angry at each other but more like themselves.

"You got into the good stuff I see." I smiled and Damon just went to put the blood bags away as did Stefan.

"I think you might have to book another ticket for the flight to mystic falls. Tyler and Caroline were fighting before and she told him to go home and he said he would , hes been in his room ever since and Veronica hasnt been here. " I forgot Stefan was in an earshot and was drinking human blood.

"Tyler did what?" Stefan was all vamped out and protective, I was afraid if I told him the truth that he would hurt me so like our relationship consisted of even before we broke up I lied to him and said "I dont know I couldnt really hear, I was in Damons room, and I just heard yelling and screaming and something about going home." At that he became less agressive and made sure Caroline was ok.

"So what did you really hear Elena." Damon said to me when we were safely in our room that was secluded from every one elses.

"Well , Tyler was only really here to make Caroline jealous and Veronica I think might live in New York. She just left after the fight because Tyler told her he was going home and said you dont have to stay here with these people you owe me nothing now, well see each other at the ball next year . I guess shes a friend of Mrs Lockwood and since shes gorgeous she would make Caroline jealous because they had unresolved business. "

"Is that all?"

"No Caroline went all crazy on him and brought up the whole mortal enemies thing. She called Veronica a prostitute and said she would never cheat on Stefan, Tyler said hes heard it all before and the fight ended when she said he should just go home."

"So much drama that I dont really care for in this house. But yes Ill arrange a second ticket." Before too long the second ticket was bought and Damon laughed when the person on the phone didnt even know where Mystic Falls was.

At 530 the cab was going to pick them up and bring them to the airport. Everyone said their goodbyes and said well see you when we get back home.

"I really wish they didnt have to leave Damon"

"I know kitten, I know" He said stroking my back letting me know it would all work out.
