Caroline's PoV
The day passed by and I for once I paid no attention in classes. I was lost in thought about what Rebekah had said. Could I really lose someone who meant so much to me for something she has no control over? I needed to talk to my friends to see how they felt.
"What are we going to do about Elena?" I heard Bonnie ask from a deserted classroom I passed. I walked in hoping we could settle this once and for all.
"What are you talking about?" I asked sitting down on a desk.
"Well obviously our Elena is gone, and we need to decide if it's worth it to get to know this new one" Bonnie said.
"Of course it's worth it, it's still Elena she just has more baggage and a longer past then she did last month" I said.
"I agree, she is still my sister no matter if she was born in 1992 or 980" Jeremy said.
"How can she still be your sister if she is over a thousand years older than you?" Damon asked.
"Technically she was born in 980 and reborn in 1992" Stefan said.
"Yes and she is still the girl we grew up with who would give her life for ours in a heartbeat if she had too" I said.
"How do we know that?" Matt asked.
"Because she said so" Jeremy said.
"What are you talking about?" Damon asked.
"Alaric and I talked to her during lunch and she said that nothing has changed she's still Elena" Jeremy said.
"Why did you do that?" Bonnie asked.
"She's all the family we have left, why would we let it go?" Jeremy asked.
"He's got a point, it's still Elena and she wouldn't leave us behind just because something happened to us" Stefan said.
"So we need to decide what we're going to do" Bonnie said.
"Fine split the room in two, the half by the door side with Elena and the side by the window side against her" I said and immediately Jeremy, Alaric, Stefan and I walked over by the door.
"Elena died so I wouldn't, I couldn't abandon her" Matt said and walked over to our side of the room.
"You guys are acting like Elena is Katherine, and only does what is good for her and only her" Tyler said and walked over to us as well.
"Well that leaves you two, what are you going to do?" I asked looking at them.
Bonnie's PoV
I looked at my friends who I have known since I was five. I couldn't believe that they didn't see the trap they were falling into. I looked at Damon and saw that he was fighting on what choice to make.
"Even when I was at my worst Elena never gave up hope that I would find my way back, I can't dessert her" Damon said and walked across the room to everyone else.
"So what do you say Bonnie?" Caroline asked. I looked at everybody and suddenly felt guilty I mean Elena was there for me whenever I needed her. She never thought twice about helping no matter the consequence. I somehow knew that despite every part of my soul telling me that it was the right thing to do to walk away.
"I can't leave my best friend, even if I wanted too" I said and walked over to the rest of the group.
"What about the originals?" Caroline asked.
"We'll figure that out when the time comes" I said.
Elena's PoV
School had ended and I was thankful to still have Ric and Jeremy on my side. I was really worried about what my so called friends would think. I was so lost in my thoughts that I never felt the bed shift under me.
"Would you quit worrying, I can't enjoy this movie with you off in space on me" Kol said sitting up.
"I'm sorry my mind just wondered off on me" I said.
"I noticed now lay down and watch this movie with me" Kol said as he laid back down and pulled me with him, causing me to laugh.
"Aye aye captain" I said curling into him and watched the movie. We tried to watch the fest of the movie, but I was distracted by my husband who was making it hard to focus.
"You wanted me to watch the movie with you, and now you're being the biggest distraction ever." I said.
"Well can you blame me, when I have a wife as beautiful as you" Kol said kissing my check.
"Always the charmer" I said looking directly into his eyes.
"Only for you darling" Kol said. Just then my phone rang signaling I had a new text message. I sighed and rolled over so I could grab my phone. I looked down and noticed that the text had come from Bonnie.
Hey Lena, please meet me at the grill I want to talk. Love Bonnie
"It's from Bonnie, she wants to meet at the grill to talk" I said getting off the bed.
"Are you going to go?" Kol asked.
"I think it would be best" I said.
"Do you want me to come with?" Kol asked.
"No love I should do this on my own" I said as I grabbed my coat.
"Alright, I'll see you when you get back" Kol said getting up as well.
"How about you meet me at the grill in an hour and we could have dinner" I suggested.
"Why are you asking me on a date Elena Mikealson?" Kol questioned with a mischievous look in his eyes.
""Why what you say if I was Kol Mikealson?" I asked.
"I would be honored to go to dinner with you Elena" Kol said.
"See you soon" I said and kissed Kol before running out.
"I will get you back for that one darling" I heard Kol say as I ran out the front door. A few minutes later I arrived in front of the grill and suddenly felt nervous. This was the first time since I woke up from my accident that I could actually lose my friends. I walked in and saw everyone standing around the back pool table. I walked over slowly hoping that everything would be fine when this was all over. I didn't even make it halfway across the room before I was wrapped in a bone crushing hug.
"Elena you made it" Caroline said.
"Yeah, did you doubt me?" I asked.
"I didn't but some of the others did" Caroline said sadly as we walked over to the others.
"Hey Elena" Jeremy said and everyone one else followed.
"Hey guys, why did you ask to meet me?" I asked concerned.
"We just wanted to hang out with our friend, is that okay?" Bonnie asked.
"Does that mean that you accept me?" I asked.
"Elena, you would never give up on us, what gives us the right to give up on you?" Tyler asked. I smiled knowing that I still had the people that meant the world to me.
"I am glad that you guys would do this for me" I said.
"Elena your our friend, and we love you" Caroline said.
"I love you guys too, but I would like for you guys to re meet my family" I asked.
"If they mean that much to you, we will" Stefan said.
"I know that they don't have the best track record with you guys but they mean the world to me just like you guys do" I said.
"Alright why don't we to meet for dinner next week?" Caroline asked.
"I will set it up and thank you" I said.
"Alright let's have a pool tournament and eat this bar out of pizza" Damon said as he waved over Matt.
"Sounds good teams or singles?" I asked
"Singles" Everyone said just as Matt arrived.
"Hey Matt" I said.
"Hey Elena glad you all made up" Matt said.
"What about us?" I asked.
"Were good" Matt said and looked at Damon waiting for the order.
"Well take seven of your best pizzas and about four bottles of bourbon" Damon said. Matt nodded and walked off. We spent the next hour and a half playing pool, eating pizza and drinking. Just then the door opened and I watched Kol walk in.
"Hey guys this has been fun but I have a date with my husband tonight" I said as I finished off my glass.
"Alright well thanks for coming" Bonnie said.
"No problem, I'll let you know about dinner next week" I said as I hugged everyone and walked off.
"See you tomorrow at school" I yelled over my shoulder as I reached the halfway point across the bar and everyone waved. I walked over to Kol.
"Hello love" I said.
"Hello darling" Kol said hugging me.
"Thanks for pushing this back a little" I said.
"No problem, now how did it go with your friends?" Kol asked as we found a table and sat down.
"I had a great time with them, it's like nothing has changed with us" I smiled and told him about my adventure with the gang and about how they agreed to re meet the family over dinner nexst week
