I hurried to the bathroom where Helena went in and pretended to be nonchalant. I could see my twin try and stayed composed but those lines on her forehead gave her away along with her pressing her lips way to tight together. She is gonna get wrinkles soon if she keeps that up. I guess she finally found out that Stefan and Caroline was here together. To me that was old news since Celestial told me how Caroline cornered Stefan yesterday to get him to say yes to going with her. I forgot to tell her majesty about that though so I guess her mood is kinda my fault. Oops. I looked away from her and pulled my little purse out to get my lipstick out. Some of it went away when I stole Wisty's drink. Elena an her groupies plus I waited till all the other girls left and Meredith locked the door to keep out anyone else, their bladder or make up emergency be damned. I continued to straighten up my hair when they started their talk.
"Maybe it isn't such a bad thing after all. I mean you haven't thought about anything but him in weeks. Nearly a month. And so maybe it's just for the best and you can move on to other things now instead of.. well chasing him." My head snapped towards Bonnie and my mouth fell open as Elena looked at her slightly betrayed. Oh my god, what is she doing?! You do not tell that to a hurt Elena! Oh this isn't going to end well at all.
"Thanks so much for your support." Elena snipped, staring angrily at the petite red head. I started to mouth my disproval to Meredith as she came to Bonnie's defense.
"Now Elena don't be like that. She isn't trying to hurt you, she just thinks-" Crap.
"And I suppose you think so, too? Well that's fine. I'll just go out and find some other things to move on to. Like some other best friends and a new twin." Well that could've- wait what?
"What the hell did I do?" I demanded offended. She glared at me.
"You know exactly what you did, Stacy! You were trying to go after him even after I told you how I felt about him!" This is it, she finally lost it. I knew it was coming but I didn't expect it to happen this fast.
"Elena, I wasn't going after Stefan. At least romantically. I just wanna be friends with him." I sighed but she cut off anything else I was going to say in my defense
"Oh don't play innocent Stacy. You would have to be blind to not see the moon eyes you make at him."
"Elena-" I got cut off by a stinging pain on my cheek. My eyes watered at the pain and I blurrily saw her unlock the door and stomp out. Bonnie had gasped and she and Meredith looked shocked at me.
"Oh Stacy-" This time Meredith was cut off by me as I straightened up and drew a big breath.
"I'm fine. She just got a little high strung. I'm okay." I forced out and got some tissues from my purse to wipe up the remaining tears
"Everything is alright. And no one is going to bring this up ever again, right?" Oh believe me, when we get home I am going to let Elena have it but for now we are in public and we have an image to maintain. Plus I didn't want to get suspended for giving that twin of mine her just dessert. I focused on my fixing up my face as the wonder friends tried to figure out what to do about what just happened. I brushed on some of my blush after pinching it to match the other and lightly brushed it on the injured one so the finger marks didn't stand out so much.
"How do I look?" I said after a few moments of critically looking at myself./
"As beautiful as ever." Bonnie said quietly. Meredith nodded backing her up. I nodded and straightened myself up.
"Great." I straightened my dress out and walked to the door. I paused with my hand on the handle and looked back at them.
"Don't you dare breath a word about what happened and that includes to Hellena. What happened here never leaves the room especially after Elena and I have words, got it?"
"But-"
"Do you got it?!" I demanded, speaking through my teeth. They looked defeated but nodded.
"Good. Now go enjoy the dance, I plan on having a few more drinks before even looking at her." I said nonchalantly walking out. I met up with my friends and they brought me punch whenever I asked for it because they are such great friends. I accepted a few dances with whoever wanted one when it wasn't a slow dance and when it was, I danced with my friends only. I put on a smile as they called my name to the stage, handing off my diadem off to Mattie to hold for the moment. I accepted my tiara with a smile and stood next to the other homecoming princesses. My smile dimmed as Elena came forward but it came back when I focused on the crowd but I saw Stefan frowned slightly at me. I guess he saw my mistake and I slightly shook my head at him. He mouthed if I was okay. I rolled my eyes and gave a slight nod and looked away quickly as Caroline noticed and started to give me a funny looks and not in the funny ha ha way. I smiled and clapped politely for Elena and hurried off the stage when the ceremony was done but Stefan caught my arm and stopped me"
"What happened to your cheek?" He asked with concern in his eyes. My other hand flew up to my face and I avoided looking where Elena was flirting with Tyler. Which was really gross in our standards to be honest. She must be really pissed. Especially to do that in front of Celestial who was Tyler's date. She had her arms crossed and was looking really mad at my twin and her date. I will have to make it up to her for my sister tomorrow.
"Nothing Stefan. I have to go." I moved my hand to brush my hair off my neck when Stefan's gaze shot to it and his eyes widened in horror. Oh crap, I forgot to cover my reminder of when I got attacked
"Who- What did that?" I blinked lazily and my mind flashed back to the fear I had felt. The darkness that overcame me. The feeling of me slowly getting weaker and weaker despite how much I fought back. I shook my head to snap out of it and stared at my foreign friend blankly
"I... don't know. Look Stefan, I would love to talk to you; you know I would, but I have got to go before Hellena sees!" I yanked my arm out of his grasp and hurried away, leaving him to look at me in horror. What is his deal anyways? I looked for my group but didn't see them so I went outside to try and find them. All I saw instead was Hellena, Tyler and some of his jerk of friends piling into a couple of cars.
"Where are they going?" I demanded at Celestial who was staring at them in disdain next to the entrance. She cocked her head at me but didn't say anything
"Please Cel! I don't trust Tyler when he's sober, I especially don't trust him when he is drunk. I know you are pissed with Elena and I am sorry for her actions but you know how he gets so please, where are they going?" I pleaded to her, looking at her earnestly. She sighed and that's when I knew I gotten through to her
"They're going to the cemetery to see something about the moon. I don't know. Have you seen the others?"
"No. Why?"
"They aren't answering their phones. I'll go back inside and check. Good hunting." She said absently and walked back inside as Stefan rushed out.
"Following my twin?" I asked curiously. He stopped not expecting me it seems and he stared awkwardly. I nodded my head in the direction she was heading
"They're going to the cemetery. If you hurry you might catch them." He nodded and I walked inside to find Matt. It seems Meredith was rounding up the gang to go after their blonde leader and was about to leave.
"I'm going with." I declared, falling in step with them. I spooked Bonnie and she hit me lightly on the arm. I smirked at her but focused on Matt. He nodded and I smiled at him.
"They're going to the cemetery. Let's hurry, Elena's a little drunk and she is such a lightweight." I said and got in the back of Matt's car. What have you gotten yourself into twin? I jut hope someone gets there before anything happens. After all, the cemetery isn't safe when the sun goes down.
I'm a horrible procrastinator and I apologize yet again for it. Surprisingly it was Mythbuster's that got me through this
