A/N Damn I'm sorry guys I completely dropped the ball these last couple weeks. Super Sorry I'm posting everything I have written today so hopefully that'll make up for it. Love ya xoxox
*Caroline's POV
I stand knocking outside of the boarding house waiting to be let in and get away from Logan Fell the stupid news reporter who is standing right by the door. He and the other news baboons are obnoxiously camping in the front yard waiting for a statement on why Stefan let Damon off so easily. I hope it rains on them.
Finally the door opens a crack and Stefan pulls me in and closes the door.
"My mom sent the casserole and I stole the vodka," I say handing him the dish my mother "made" we all know she just bought it.
"Thanks Care. You're the best," he says pulling me into a hug.
"Well duh I know that, " I joke and hug him back.
"Oh my Stefan. How many girls do you have?" A voice comes from behind me.
I turn to see a face I have seen multiple times in all of the Salvatore family photo books.
"Gram this is one of my best friends Caroline, " he says smiling at her. "Care this is Gram Salvatore she's helping out with the business and everything."
I go to shake her hand and she pulls me into a bear hug.
"Oh she's one of the girls Elena was complaining about because they were teasing her about you all day," Gram Salvatore says. "I already like her from everything I was told."
"My specialty is bugging those two," I say when she releases me. "Its nice to finally meet you Stefan always talks about going to visit you."
"Well he does love the city," she says. "If you two would excuse me I promised Jake I'd take him to the barn for a little."
She nods at us and walks over to the East Wing of the house. I turn towards Stefan and stare him down. He shifts nervously nervous I clear my throat ready to ask him about what Jenna told me earlier.
"So you know Ric told Jenna and Jenna totally is on team stelena so she called Lexi and I both right?" I ask watching as an embarrassed smile spreads across his face.
"I wanted to tell you first but then Lexi would kill me so I went neutral," he says.
"Well you're asking me to help plan to tell her right? " I ask giving him my I already know the answer to this look.
*Elena' POV
I was just coming out of school after picking up both Stefan and my assignments for the rest of the week. I get in my car and start driving to the boarding house when I notice my ex and Klaus's older brother fiddling with the tire on his car. I haven't seen Elijah since we broke up when he went to college both of us agreeing that the long distant thing wouldn't work. I pull over, parking my car behind his. I get out and his entire face lights up when he sees me.
"Hello, love," he says standing up from his crouched position by the tire.
"Hey," I say my stomach doing flips from his accent and the way he was looking at me.
"I was headed to pick up my idiot brother from the boarding house," he says, "think you can give me a lift?"
I shouldn't not with the way he's looking at me. I shouldn't because Stefan hated him and he was already having a terrible week. But I nod and we get into my car and head towards a disaster waiting to happen.
"If it's possible I think you got even more beautiful since I left," he says. "I wish it was under better circumstances that I got to come back."
"You haven't gotten terrible looking yourself," I say taking my eyes off the road to note that he has definitely not been skipping the gym. "Yeah it's terrible what happened to the Salvatores."
He touches my hand tentatively and gives me a quick peck on the cheek.
"I know you were close to him. I'm sorry for your loss," he says.
"I'm more sorry for Stefan and Jake than myself," I say noting how his mouth goes from a smile to a straight line at the mention of Stefan.
"Yeah that' terrible," he says and I know he doesn't mean it. "But, why don't you catch me up on everything, love?" I tell him everything minus anything about Stefan. We pull into the driveway of the boarding house and head inside and I catch a glimpse of dirty blonde hair in the living room window. Elijah starts to tell me about college as we get out and head to the door. He's telling me about the time he was forced to wear a diaper on his head and run naked through campus to get into his frat house. I'm laughing so hard at him and it reminds me of how well we were together.
*Stefan's POV
While Elena was MIA and Care was bossing Klaus around one of the Sophomores in my math class came to give me my work. Makensi was the hottest Sophomore by far and she had a huge thing for me. She was twirling her blonde hair as I brought her a glass of water. She wanted to stay and explain all the work she brought for me.
"So this is the take home test. It's all on factoring," she starts. "This is-" She' cut off by Elena opening the door and laughing and then I hear the accent as Elijah walks in next to her. Elena touches his shoulder and smiles at him just like she used to. Of course she wouldn't love me. I'm an ass an he's perfect.
"Hey I brought your home work for the week," Elena says stepping into the house further with her british man candy in tow.
"Oh, that's okay. I already brought it and Ava and I are coming tomorrow to help him study," Makensi says with a bitchy tone not even bothering to look at her.
"Oh that's so nice of the two of you," Elena answers sarcastically rolling her eyes.
"Anyways," Makensi says, "This is your English assignment you just have to write about your summer and you have a chemistry quiz Monday on the periodic table. Lucky for you, I have a great memorization trick." Out of the corner of my eye I can see Elijah whispering to Elena who is giving Makensi the dirtiest look ever. I was about to laugh but then Elijah kissed her cheek and grabbed her hand.
"Stef?" Makensi snaps me out of the image I had running through my mind of punching Elijah in the face.
"Sorry I uh I got lost in your beautiful eyes," I smirk cockily at her saying it loud enough for Elena to hear. She scoffs lightly as Makensi laughs and twirls her hair again.
"Hey, mate, where's my brother? I think all of us want to be out of here when you bang this chick," Elijah says. I don't have to answer because Klaus and Care come tumbling in from the kitchen.
"Um yeah we totally need to fix that door before everyone comes tomorrow," Klaus says hopping up and pulling Care with him.
"Well if it isn't your less muscular british half?" Makensi jokes flashing me a flirty smile.
I have to admit if I wasn't so jealous of Elijah right now I wouldn't be paying this girl any attention but what choice do I have? I have to make Elena realize what she's missing.
*Care's POV
Klaus goes over and is talking with that stupid sophomore barbie and Stefan, who seems to have forgotten he's in love with a girl who's right at the door. I look over at Elena and I can't believe how close her and Elijah are. No freaking wonder Salvawhore is back.
"Kensi, Stef and I were headed to the lake later you and Ava should totally join," Klaus says and it snaps me back to the three of them.
"What a coincidence?" I say enthusiastically. "Elena, Elijah, Ty and I are going too."
"Oh how convenient that you just made those plans," Stefan says., "Any ways Kenz make sure Ava knows suits are optional." he says it so smoothly as he gets up and kisses her cheek before coming over and dragging me back to the kitchen.
"What the hell are you doing?" He whisper yells at me.
"ME?! What are you doing?" I whisper yell back at him.
"Do you not see elejah getting together again?" he hisses out. "I can't compete with Mr. British Superhero."
"So your plan was to hook up with Makensi?" I ask. "That's not going to make her see you any differently."
"Maybe I won't hook up with her," he says. "She's hot. I'm hot. We'd make a hot couple."
"Stensi versuses Stelena… Stensi…. Stelena…" I mull it over Stensi is a pretty epic name but I love Stelena. "Damn it. I'll give you a week with your little plan and then I get to fix this."
He winks at me and turns on his heels to leave.
"Wait," I say spinning him back around. "Cut out the original Salvawhore act. Elena will just go back to hating you. Show more of the barn Stefan who Elena was starting to not hate." He turns back to leave but Elena comes in.
"Suits are optional?! Wow Salvawhore is back," she says shoving her finger into his chest. Hot damn you can cut the tension with a knife.
"I'm just gonna leave," I say but they don't notice they're in a stare down.
I walk out into the living room where there's nothing but Stefan's homework. I quickly text Ty that I'm coming over and we're heading to the lake for a bit and head out too.
