Wish It Was Me

"Did you forget?

Forget how we made plans,

Picked our futures out together,

Said forever,

and never looked back,

Well did you like,

like how I looked tonight?

Did it make you think of what your missing,

When your kissing her, ohoh,

and what about,

What about all those nights,

when you put your arms around me tight,

and said that one day,

one day,

one day,

We would have our happy ending,

Pardon me,

But are you still missing me?

Because she said you were doing fine,

but we both know that's a lie-"

"Elena are you going to sit up here singing all night, or are you going to try on your dress?" Hannah said coming up the stairway "Pretty song by the way" Hannah wore a floor length black dress, simple but sweet. It was Hannah's style, even if she looked ordinary she looked beautiful.

"Do I really have to go to this pre-wedding bash or whatever Rebekah called it?" Elena said, putting down the guitar catching her reflection in a window "I look like hell" Elena was trying to find an excuse not to go with her friends. Klaus had charmed them into going. Even Elena was on the boat until she was rudely reminded that Kol and his bitch would be there. She had just gotten rejected by him earlier that day, no one wants to go to a party with someone that rejected them.

"True, but nothing a long shower and three room-mates can't fix!" Hannah dragged her into the bedroom, Hayley and Stevie-Rae were there too holding a black bag. Elena had a dress already picked out, she had no idea what was in that bag.

"You'll love it! We promise!" Hayley clapped, "Hey, I would wear it!"

"That's what I'm worried about..." Elena was pushed into the bathroom, "I don't want to go!" She let them know before she turned on the water. She stood there for a second, and then talked herself into getting in the shower. "What's the worst that could happen, Elena? He tells you he hates you? He pretty much did that today!"

Elena washed away all her doubts, and all of her fears preparing herself for a night with her friends. She needed to block him for a moment, he could not control her life. And after awhile when the water started running colder and colder she thought maybe she should remove the tattoo, what's the point of leaving a mark on her skin that was not true? He might be on her heart for awhile, but she'd find someone to remove that one too.

She could pretend at least.

When she got out of the shower, her room-mates were waiting for her with plugged in curling irons and make-up bags. "Let's get started" Elena said, "No harm done in looking your best"

Hayley was in charge of drying her hair, and Stevie-Rae was in charge of make-up and then Hannah used the curling iron for the front Elena's hair and the curlers in the back of her hair. "You are going to look like a bad bitch tonight" Hannah laughed, quoting some freshmen at the bar last month.

"Let's do this Jersey Shore style" Hayley said when she took out the last curler "One shot before the dress, and three after seeing it" The girls agreed to Hayley's terms, and then Stevie-Rae unzipped the bag.

"What do you think?" Stevie-Rae said with the biggest smile on her face.

"Are you sure?" Elena said "I thought this was supposed to be elegant" The dress was black, and obviously very tight fitting. It cut off mid-thigh by the length of it, and it had slashes on the left hip going up to Elena's waist. The sleeves were kind of long sleeved but also had slashes going up it. It was very sexy.

"Oh hell yes, now drink up- this is going to be a long night" Hannah said, "Hurry! We are almost late" The girls got in Parker's truck that arrived the day before, it seemed all the cars were starting to join the group. It was adorable almost the way Elena could dance and drive. Elena loved London Bridge only because of the "Dancing like a hoe" part. But when she got to Klaus's house, she did not want to get out of the truck.

"I think this calls for another shot" Elena whispered, She was not the only one that didn't get the memo. Other girls were wearing short dresses, but she was the only one that looked extremely sexy. "Whatever, forget it. We look damn good and I don't care what anyone has to say about it"

When Elena walked in she felt like she was in a movie, "This is my jam!" Hayley said sarcastically, "They need to play something that will not make this residents fall asleep"

"We'll work on that later" Elena looked over at Elijah, "I'll be right back" She walked towards him with a smirk spreading on her face. "I think you have the power to change this music"

"You seem to have made an impression on the men in the room" Elijah took Elena's extended hand, leading her on the dance floor. Their dancing was elegant and not so close, they were clearly friends but Elijah was daring people to break up their dance. "What are you trying to do?"

"Save him" Elena said, "But I might be in this for fun too" Of course she was, he pissed her off he deserves what she plans to throw at him. Elena was a dancer, she could coordinate what she needed to coordinate. If she gave Steve-Rae the signal her team could keep up. "Can you keep up?" She asked Elijah.

"I can try, depends what kind of dance you are trying to pull off" Elijah shrugged.

"Keep it elegant, act like the song is not changing. And then we change it up into something sexy." Elena said, "It'll look like entertainment to everyone else"

"And to my brothers?" Elijah laughed "What will it mean to them?"

"My first move" Elena said, "This is not a game anymore"

Elijah walked over to the person in charge of music, telling him whatever Elijah wanted to participate in. Elena waited for him to return, giving Stevie-Rae and Hayley the signal to find a dance partner. Hannah was already with James. Stevie-Rae grabbed Parker, only because it would be weird for her to dance with Wren. Hayley took Wren though, which was funny to Elena for some reason.

When they started dancing with the group of people already dancing to the elegant music, it took all of their strength to control their laughter. But when the song changed, it was cheer time. It was time to shine. The people that were dancing had no idea what was going on, Promiscuous was playing. Elena laughed "Have you been stalking me?"

"Did you really think that Kol was the only one keeping track of you?" Elijah said, "Let's dance" They all moved in sync as if they were waltzing but when Elijah turned Elena bringing her back to him the dance mood changed. Partners switched, Stevie-Rae became Elijah's partner and it all went in a circle. Elena was dancing with Wren, she was used to Wren's dancing- most of the time he was the one helping her with the dance parts of the cheer. This was like practice to them, they'd done the dance before.

They switched again, and James took Elena in his arms- the mood changing back to elegant. Elena liked the constant change-up it was exciting. But the crowd surrounding them would not expect the next move. Elena was twirled into Elijah's arms again, her leg wrapping around his waist as she winked. She turned around and they started dancing in sync again doing the same dance moves until Elena walked over to Klaus and Klaus's bride, pulling them into the dance. She gave Elijah Klaus's bride. Klaus smirked at Elena while changing up the dance a little, he leaned Elena back where everyone else kept waltzing to the best of their abilities. "I'm going to kill her Klaus" Elena told him, "Tonight"
