The evening air was even better cooling off the people of ML and SL. Clubs and bars were packed with party goers drinking and dancing. Families were spending nice quality time in restaurants and the young folks of ML and SL were having a good time at the lake.
Dylan and his best friend Walter and their gang was also at the lake each standing with a cup of beer in hand.
Walter is Dylan's age and wore glasses. The two of them thick as thieves. "Not so bitter anymore after three cups." Walter said with a big goofy grin.
Dylan and the others laughed. "This is the life guys we finally made to the big boys league." Dylan said and patted Walter on the shoulder.
"Lets just hope sheriff Mitchell and his goons don't show up and arrest us for underage drinking. My mother will demand my public execution and throw a barbeque for the whole town after that." Walter said and adjusted his glasses on his nose.
Dylan spit and choked on his beer. He laughed and said. "Walt stop it."
Mia and her group of girls came over to them and boy was she smiling flirtatiously at Dylan. She took his hand and led him away from the group.
"Wow what a surprise. I didn't know you would be here Dylan." She said.
"Yeah Robby invited us." Dylan said.
"Where's Liz? She's always by your side." Mia asked with a sweet fake smile.
"This is not her type of scenery." Dylan said and blushed.
"You are so cute Dylan and funny." Mia said softly.
Dylan was pleasantly surprised and flattered. "What? Me? You really mean that?" He could feel how the alcohol made him feel at ease and relaxed.
Mia giggled. "Yes you handsome. Let's go some place where we can talk privately." She whispered in his ear and pulled him after her.
"Guys are you sure we should be here?" Liz asked with a nervous look.
"Suddenly I'm not so sure." Zoe said.
"Let's see if we can find Chad and his friends we can hang out with them. That won't make us stand out like sore thumbs." Sophi said.
Zoe, Sophi and Liz decided that they were up for a adventure and to do something daring for once. It was their first time coming to a lake party.
"Okay let's walk around and see where we can find him." Sophi said to them but Liz's attention was somewhere else. She saw Dylan and Mia walking to the trees where its darker. Mia suddenly stopped and kissed Dylan on his mouth. She whispered something to him and together the two disappeared in the dark and out of sight.
"There he is guys." Sophi said excited. "There's Chad."
All the adventure and excitement of the night left Liz. What she saw really hurt her. She knew Dylan and Mia was making out behind the trees.
"Liz are you okay?" Zoe asked softly.
"I should probably go home I don't know why I even came here." Liz said with a sad smile.
"To have fun and beside Dylan is also here. He will be happy to see you." Zoe said and put her arm around Liz.
Liz swallowed her tears back and smiled. "Lets have fun."
ML Grill and Bar
Damon and Stephen were on the small stage singing very loud and ugly to Celine Dion's theme song from Titanic My heart Will Go On. Alaric was standing next to them trying to hide his face with his hands.
After the brothers were done with their item and received a standing ovation Damon loudly declared that they will sing another song much to Alaric's dismay.
"I can already see us on the front pages. Every joke in this town will start with three guys who walked into a bar one night. The mayor the doctor and the teacher." Alaric whispered frantically at them.
Damon rolled his eyes and said. "Stop killing our vibe Ric hey you know what solo you going to sing for us. Killing me softly by the refugees."
Stephen was doubled over. He knew he was in a shit load of trouble by ignoring Caroline's calls but he just wanted to let go and forget for a short while.
The Salvatore Home
Bonnie, Caroline, Stella and Kate were sitting at the kitchen table indulging themselves in cupcakes and wine.
Stella sigh and said. "So Elena is back and she's staying with you guys and none of your kids knows anything about who Baily really is?"
"That's the situation I'm currently in right now." Caroline said.
"The Salvatore brothers just can't keep their dicks in their pants. Oh no that's way to hard for them." Stella said and ignored Kates warning glare.
Stella just shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. "What. Its true asks them." Stella said and pointed at Bonnie and Caroline.
Kate cleared her throat and said. "Guys I have not been feeling well lately. I took a pregnancy test this morning. I found out I'm pregnant."
Bonnie and Caroline was about to congratulate Kate but Stella's hard laugh stopped them.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. What did you say Kate? You're pregnant? From what?" Stella asked and stuffed her mouth with a cupcake.
"From my husband how else can I get pregnant." Kate said with red cheeks.
"Its just that I can't imagine you and Hendy fucking." Stella said with a serious face.
Bonnie and Caroline laughed softly.
"Stella and we all are happy for you Kate." Bonnie said and squeezed Kate's hand.
"Of course I'm happy for you Kate." Stella said. "And please ladies enough now with you guys breeding like rabbits. One child is enough for me I'm not going to stretched my vagina to infinity and beyond. Hell no. Sex is great its amazing and don't get me started when a man goes down there you know down south. It felt so good the first time I felt like driving over to my mother's house and smack the bitch for not telling me how good a man's tongue and lips can feel down there."
The woman doubled over with laughter.
Stella clapped her hands excitedly and said. "We got a baby shower to plan."
Kate laughed and said. "Its too soon Stella."
"Nonsense. I will be more than happy to plan your baby shower thank you for asking me."
Kate shook her head and laughed softly. "Ooh I can't wait."
"Glasses full and in the air everyone except the new mommy." Stella said. "To Kate and Hendy and their little bundle of joy growing in her tummy."
"Hear, hear." Bonnie and Caroline cheered.
The Lake
Everyone cheered and looked on as the fireworks lit the sky up beautifully.
Sam drunk and clearly high clung on Alex arm. "I feel sick Alex." She whined.
Alex looked at her and said. "Let me take you home."
He said goodbye to Josh and Neil and his friends took Sam's hand and led her to his car. They needed to have a serious talk before they go back on Sunday. He saw a different side of her that he did not like.
Zoe felt two arms going around her waist from behind. She smiled she knew it was Cayllum.
"Hey beautiful." He whispered in her ear.
"Hey you." She whispered back. "Its beautiful. The fireworks." She said in wonder.
"It is but I know a beauty that surpasses all the beauty on this earth and I'm holding that beauty in my arms right now." He said and put his nose in her neck inhaling her sweet natural scent.
Liz who was standing next to them heard what Cayllum said and her heart broke. She let her tears roll freely down her cheeks. She thought she had something beautiful with Dylan but after what she saw tonight not anymore.
She slipped her hand out of Dylan's hand and wiped her tears.
Dylan looked confused. Walter just shrugged his shoulders. He too was clueless and drunk.
"My sister is here to take me home Zoe thanks for this and for everything." Liz said and hugged Zoe.
Sophi was standing in Chads arms on his truck clearly smitten and in love.
"See you tomorrow?" Zoe asked. She was worried about Liz. She didn't talk to Dylan at all.
"I will let you know." Liz said before walking away. She was stopped by Dylan half way.
"So you were just going to leave without even saying goodbye to me." He said.
Liz looked at him and that's when he saw the pain in her eyes when the sky lit up with fireworks again.
"Liz are you okay?" He asked and tried to hold her but she pushed him away softly from her.
"I thought you were different Dylan. I thought we had something good but now I know better. I saw you with Mia and it hurt Dylan. Please stay away from me I want nothing to do with you anymore." Liz said as she took a step back away from him.
"She kissed me Liz. I tried to stop her but she just kissed and kissed and I tried to stop her." Dylan tried to explain.
Liz shook her head and said. "Please just don't insult me anymore. I know what I saw and thanks for making my first night at the lake so memorable Dylan Salvatore." She walked away from him with tears clouding her vision.
It was a quiet Dylan who returned back to his friends. After the fire works Cayllum took Zoe, Dylan, Walter and the rest of his friends home. A happy Sophi said she was fine Chad was going to take her home.
Kenzie stumbled to Cayllum and Zoe when she saw them.
"I knew it was you guys! Does mom and dad know that you are here? Cayllum you take my brother and sister straight home as in now." Kenzie said.
"Yes mam." Cayllum said and took Zoe's hand.
"Kenz are you coming with us?" Zoe asked. She was worried what if some guy tries to take advantage of her again.
"Are you kidding me? The real party starts now. Look I'm fine Antwone is here with me."
Zoe hugged her before saying goodbye.
