Chapter 13

3 Years Later

August 27, 2014

I walk down the halway of the Salvatore Boarding House towards Damon's room with coffee for the both of us. I turn into the room to find an empty bed, with a note on my pillow.

Elena,

Had to run out. Be back soon. xoxoxo

Love,

Damon

I smile at the note and crawl back into bed. I had to wonder what he was up to. It was nine a.m. on a Sunday. Damon was never out of bed before noon on a sunday. He was up to something, what it was I wasn't sure of yet, he was good at suprising me but today I expected it.

A year ago today was our wedding day. It was perfect. Almost like a dark fairytale. The wedding was in the back yard here at the Boarding House. Stefan stood next to Damon as his best man. Ric, Jeremy and Tyler were groomsmen. And, sometimes I still find it hard to believe how far we had come, but Katherine was my maid of honor. We had suprisingly gotten close and I figured she helped save my life so why not? Jenna, Bonnie and Caroline were bridesmaids. I wore a beautiful white gown with a blue sash to match the girls gowns and the mens ties. The blue was perfect because it was the same blue as Damon's eyes. The picture of all of us that day hangs here in our bedroom and another in the hall downstairs next to Elijah and I. How strange is it that the man that I killed was the man that walked me down the isle? John and Isobel were not fond of me being with Damon and had tried to kill him a few different times but Elijah didn't let that happen. I asked him to tell them to leave and that the only reason they were still alive was because they were my birth parents and to leave or that fact wouldn't matter anymore. They left. Elijah still took protecting the people I loved and myself seriously. He was definetly a man of his word and beyond. Damon says that I have an uncanny ability to make vampires love me in one way or another, especially ones that were bad at one point such as himself, Stefan and Elijah. Elijah stayed at the Boarding House after Klaus and we had all gotten close. Even more strange was the fact that he was dating Caroline's mom. Caroline and Tyler had patched things up after everything was all said and done. He was able to gain more control of his transformations. Caroline was doing so good. She had finally started to mend her relationship with her mom now that there were no more secrets. Bonnie and Jeremy were still together too. Bonnie was so much stronger as a witch now. Jeremy was still going to college for art and drawing. Most of us had finished up and none of us wanted to leave each other. Well maybe Damon would like to not be so close to Tyler all the time. Jenna and Ric started to try and mend their relationship after all the secrets and everything that happened. It took her awhile to fully forgive all of us and trust us but we managed. It's what we do, we are family. Ric was still teaching. We were all suprised that he wasn't fired for missing so much school, or that we all managed to graduate on time. I had even gotten a degree in journalism and worked for Mystic Falls Daily Newspaper. Stefan and Katherine lived with us at the Boarding House but they liked to travel alot. Damon and Stefan were close again. Although it was no walk in the park and they still had their fights you could tell they were glad to actually be brothers again. Katherine told me one day as we were watching them play chess that that was how she remembered them from when she first knew them. It may have taken a long time but better late than never. Sometimes you have to go through the bad to get the good.

I was a living dead person now too. It was purely my choice, it was what I wanted. One life with Damon just was not enough. He turned me on my nineteenth birthday. I did not kill humans, I didn't even feed off of them. We all were on the blood bag diet. Somehow Katherine even managed to get Stefan off his animal diet and onto ours. They balanced each other out perfect. Just like Damon and I. Katherine and I would play tricks on them sometimes but it never seemed to work, only for a few seconds. We loved that. Somehow they could not confuse us, which was fine by both of us. We were all where we were suppose to be. I was even more in love with my husband now than I was when I married him, and I loved him enough to die for him a few years ago.

"Hello, Mrs. Salvatore." He saunters in giving me that brilliant smile of his.

"Hello, Mr. Salvatore."

"Reminising?"

"Yes."

"Happy Anniversary."

"Same to you."

"I have a suprise." He tells me pulling me out of bed and wrapping his arms around me.

"What kind of suprise?" I say as I playfully pin him up against the wall in a flash.

"I'm still not completely use to that. We are going to Gerogia. All of us."

"All of us?"

"Everyone?"

"Why?" I ask him quizically. It was our anniversary after all.

"Because I have a newly owned bar and a big house that needs some people in it. Everyone is all packed and ready to go."

"Huh?"

"I bought us Bree's old bar, which is now named after my wonderful wife, and I figured why the hell not so I got us a house there too." He says like doing something that big is so natural.

"You bought me a house and a bar for our first anniversary?"

"You love Georgia. I love Georgia. We first got to know each other there. I think it's time we show it to everyone else."

"You are such a romantic at heart."

"I try for you, but keep it on the down low."

"Right, because no one knows you'd do anything and everything for me." I tease him.

"Watch it missy."

"When do we leave?"

"As soon as you pack."

"Already?"

"Everyone will be here in a few."

"How long should I pack for?"

"It's the summer pack as much summer stuff as you have. We can get other stuff there."

"This is the best gift."

"Of course it is. I'm good like that."

"Ever the same."

"Always. You wouldn't have it any other way."

"No, I wouldn't. Want to know what I got you?"

"Duh."

"It's not as good as yours."

"What is it, Elena?"

"New tires for the camaro and a case of your favorite scotch. Stefan had the tired put on this morning. Scotch is in the trunk."

"That's why he needed my car this morning then. Not as good? Are you kidding? Men love cars and alcohol."

"I hoped you would like it."

"I do." He says before pulling me into a quick but passion filled kiss. "Now hurry, the cars just pulled into the driveway. I'll pack the cooler." He adds before placing a kiss on my forehead. Just like the first time he told me he loved me. It's forever etched into my memory. One of the many.

"I love you, Damon."

"And I love you, Elena."
