Hi guys! I am back with another chapter you can say it is pretty soon. That's because I have nothing better to do than reading fanfiction and writing fanfiction (Not that I'm complaining). Hope you enjoy this chapter. During this short period I decided to bring out two more TVD characters with Jeremy. See if you are a bit surprised or not surprised at all.

"Caroline, calm down." Elena tried her best to soothe Caroline. This is not how Caroline behaves when she arrives at home. Usually she would be a bubbly blond who would ask for some 'juicy details' as she calls it after seeing her with someone or the reason for her late arrival with snarky comments. Something happened while she was gone. Something was definitely up.

"Sorry Elena, but it's 12 AM. You are never this late. When you did come back I was in the balcony clearing my mind when I saw the car pulled into the parking lot, which wasn't yours. Then the hottie comes to your side and opens the door, he kisses you..." She was going on bubbling, but Elena cut her off.

"Caroline, breathe." She told her and she took a huge gulp and breathed out. "What's up with you? You were fine when I left." She started eyeing Caroline and saw that she was nervously biting her lips like she had a lot to say. "Something is definitely wrong. Spill." Elena demanded.

Caroline sighed and started. "Okay since you know me so well, here it is." She cleared her throat and started. "I got the project of the Lieutenant wedding."

"Oh my god Care! I'm so happy for you." She smiled ear to ear and hugged her. "I still don't understand why you are freaking out." Caroline was one of the most famous organizers in New York. Her company Celebration Diaries has been planning parties for two decades. It was passed from generations after generations and now Caroline was its owner and even the most hard-working employee. This project was about the Lieutenant family, which was a strong political family. Their only son, Peter Lieutenant was about to get married and they wanted it to be the most graceful wedding.

"Yeah, it's because you don't know how much pressure there is. Everything needs to be perfect."
"I'm sure you'll nail it." Elena said excited for her best friend.

"That's not the only thing that is freaking me out. There's more." Caroline said very seriously. "Bonnie is coming from LA." This isn't a bad news it's great news.

"It's a gr…" She was about to say what she thought but Caroline cut her off.

"With her husband and their daughter." Caroline stared up to watch Elena's wide eye and gapped mouth.

"Enzo and Lucy are coming too?'' Elena asked and Caroline nodded.

"Sorry Elena, but I couldn't deny her. We are going to see her after a long time I was so excited. I didn't know how to deny her so I said there wouldn't be any problem. However now if I think about it there won't be enough rooms." Caroline was feeling guilty. Now one of them has to find another place to live. Their condo had two rooms. One Elena's and one Caroline's and both of them were very private person. If Bonnie comes with them, she, Enzo and Lucy can manage in one room.

"We can book them a hotel nearby." Elena suggested.

"Elena they're coming here for 2 months. Even the cheapest hotel in New York costs $20 per night. And Bonnie is a classy person, she'll never come to meet us again." Caroline was in hysteria.

"Does she know that we only have two bedrooms?" Elena asked raising an eyebrow.

Caroline looked at her guiltily. "I forgot to tell her."

"We will figure it out." Elena sighed was thinking about where she could stay. Sure the couch was bit comfortable. Or maybe she could ask Ric. "I'll stay over at Ric's." She said.

"Are you sure?" Caroline asked.

"I mean he did say the door to the spare bedroom is open for me." As soon as the words left her mouth, extreme relief took over Caroline's features.

"Thank god for Ric." She muttered.

"Is there anymore crises I need to hear about?" Elena looked at her best friend for confirmation and saw her hesitate.

She hesitated for a while before she finally spoke up. "Jeremy is bringing his girlfriend with him tomorrow." She spoke quickly enough but Elena caught it.

"WHAT!" For real!

Damon walked inside his house silently. For the first time in a very long period of time he wasn't drunk when he passed through the threshold. He completely forgot about his past in the moment and only one person was in his mind. But why? Yeah right, because you're turning into a lovesick fool. Damon was not keen about this feeling but in the same time it was making him smile. Thinking about Elena was making him smile.

He didn't know why he felt the sudden urge to kiss her. She could've been dating someone or wasn't quite happy about his move. However something told him that she didn't mind. He was wildly attracted to her for some reason and he was certain whether to explore it or not.

His thoughts were interrupted by the shrill noise of his phone. He took it out and saw the caller ID. It was Ric, calling him at 1AM. Why wasn't he surprised?

"Hey Ric! Isn't it too early to call?" He said sarcastically.

"Damon! My buddy! My savior!" Oh god. He is drunk.

"Okay Ric, where are you?" He did not waste his time asking, being the responsible friend he is.

"Home I think." Ric let out a giggle, which would've been cute if he was a girl. "Will you come, please?"

He shook his head but said, "I'm coming in five minutes." He hanged up the phone and rushed towards his car. It was partly to stop Ric from getting anymore drunk and mostly to see if he is too drunk to recognize his home and is actually somewhere else.

Five minutes later he reached Ric's apartment and rushed to the elevator. Ric's penthouse was at the top floor. As he entered he saw Ric with a glass in his hand and an almost finished bottle off bourbon on the table. "Someone's gonna get up with a crushed brain tomorrow." Damon mumbled softly.

"Damon! I'm glad you decided to join the old man, who now by the way has to take care of two horny teenagers at the age of forty. Cheers to me!" He raised the glass above in the air and took a huge gulp.

"I hate to break it to you, but you are kind of old." Ric gave him a death glare. Damon was trying hard to suppress his laughter at the image Ric presented him with. So much for being a good friend. Then he recalled Ric saying 'two horny teenagers.' "Okay I know one is coming tomorrow. Whose the second one?"

"Jeremy fucking Gilbert decided to bring his girlfriend with him. Clearly that boy lost his virginity to her and discovered the boundaries with his second mind. He even wrote in the message that and I quote, 'we don't need an extra bedroom. We are more than willing to share a bed.' I never signed up for that. I signed up for a cute little 8 year old. " It became impossible for Damon to not laugh at that. He began imagining Ric's face when he would have to go through the process of handling two horny teenagers. "Elena is so going to kill him. I think she got the mail even before I did. Why didn't she inform me?"

"Probably because she didn't get enough time to see it." Damon said back.

"How do you know that?"

"Because I was with her." After he said it Ric was eyeing him with a familiar look. He was trying to read him. "What? I went back to the bar looking for you, but she was sitting there alone instead. We talked and then lost track of time. It was too late so I decided to drive her home as I didn't have any drink and she had four. And that was about fifteen minutes ago."

"You're completely smitten by her." That was the only thing Ric said after listening to him.

"What? No I'm not."

"You are as into her just like she is into you." Ric was so drunk he didn't know what he was saying.

"How do you know that?'' Damon threw his own words on his face.

"When she thought you are gay her face lost it's fair. When I told her you were not, light came back in her stare. Correct me if I'm wrong my friend, but I think love is in the air." Damon had to admire Ric's poetry skills even when he was drunk. But what he said didn't stop making him feel like a schoolboy.

"Ric you are drunk. Get up and go to bed." Damon demanded trying to hide his blushing façade.

"Damon…" Ric whined.

"Ric…" Damon raised his voice.

"Fine dad."

"Get a mirror." Damon scoffed.

Elena woke up as her alarm started to buzz. It was Saturday 8 o'clock. After 1 hour her brother's flight would land from Richmond to New York and she has to get ready for that. However she sure as hell wasn't ready to meet the woman who deflowered her 17-year-old brother.

Jeremy called the second he woke up after having sex for the first time. That's because Elena thought it would be a good idea for her brother to be completely open with her. It's safe to say he opened up too much.

She got up from the bed and ran towards the shower. Spending ten minutes in the shower, she quickly blow dried her hair. Then she brushed her hair and let the curves fall over her shoulder. She fit herself into a casual pink t-shirt, a leather jacket and jeans. When she got out from the room she saw Caroline humming and making breakfast.

"Oh Elena, would you have breakfast now or after picking Jeremy up?" Caroline asked once she heard Elena coming.

"After picking Jeremy we would go to Ric's place. So I don't think I'll be having breakfast here. But I'll call you." Elena said while wearing her shoes. She turned toward Caroline and bid her goodbye and grabbed her car keys. When she got near her car she decided to call Ric.

Damon woke up after he heard the apple ringtone of Ric's phone. He didn't realize when he fell asleep in the couch. He leaned forward and grabbed his phone. Ric probably left his phone the couch. He saw that Elena's name written on the caller ID. Then he remembered that Ric was supposed to be at the airport by 15 minutes. He sat up upright and quickly he picked up the phone.

"Hello Elena." He said in his sleep-laced voice.

"Ric is that you?"

"No I'm Damon. Remember the guy you met at the bar." He stood up from the couch and went to look for his phone and keys.

"Of course I remember." In her tune he could feel her smiling. Bravo. "Damon can you give the phone to Ric."

"That might be a problem.'' Damon knew Ric would be in no form of driving. He would be having a great hangover for finishing a bottle of bourbon.

"Why?" he could sense the panic in her voice.

"He drank almost a bottle of bourbon last night."

"Oh god." She was muttering.

"Don't worry I'm coming." He hung up to wash his face, then took his phone and grabbed his car keys.

Elena parked her car and went inside the JFK Airport. She was feeling nervous and happy at the same time. Her brother was moving to New York City and she could see him whenever she desired. What made her nervous was the fact that how would Jeremy cope up here. He is a small town boy and there would be serious complications that she faced when she first came to New York. What if he doesn't want to stay here? What if he wants to go back? These questions lingered in the back of her head. Now Ric's absence was additional. She had no idea how she could take so many luggage in one car. Although Damon did say he was coming. Why would he come to pick up someone he barely knew?

Elena was sitting in the airport bench waiting for Jeremy. His plane would board in five minutes. Suddenly she felt a hand above her shoulder. She turned around to see the mesmerizing blue eyes. He was wearing the same clothes from yesterday. He might have stayed with Ric after learning he drank too much. No wonder why Ric appreciates him so much.

"Hey.'' Damon said in his velvety voice.

"Hey you came." Elena asked. She was still unsure whether he'd come.

"I said I would didn't I?" She smiled and moved toward the left end of the bench and patted the empty space telling Damon to sit. He took the seat without hesitation and his famous smirk was present in his face. They remained silent for some time waiting for Jeremy's plane to land. Then something caught Elena's attention. "Damon."

"Yes." His blue eyes again got her attention.

"Why did Alaric drink too much last night?" Elena asked out of curiosity. She wanted to know that why he drank so much even after the conversation about reducing alcohol.

"Ric always drinks too much. Alcohol is practically his girlfriend." Damon lied knowing that the true reason might upset Elena.

"But I told him last night to drink less in presence of Jeremy." Before Damon could say something the voice on the microphone indicated that Jeremy's plane landed.

"Elena I have to ask you something?" Damon was stammering not knowing how she'll react.

"Shoot."

"Were we supposed to go at Ric's place or your place?"

"Ric's." she was saying absent-mindedly.

"Elena, Ric would be having a serious hangover and I don't think you want Jeremy to know that."

The last part caught her attention and she faced Damon "What am I going to do?"

"Why don't we go to your house first? You will hangout together until noon. By then Ric should be awake. When he calls me I'll tell you; then you can take Jeremy to his place where he can stay." When he finished telling his schemes he saw Elena give out a sigh in relief.

"God you're a savior. Sounds great." She then moved her attention towards the newly made crowd of people who made their way. Out of them Elena's eyes fell on the brown haired and brown-eyed boy similar to hers. "Jeremy!" She shouted and started to wave her hand, which caught his attention.

"Elena!" He quickly made his way towards his sister and pulled her into a hug.

"You made it!" Elena exclaimed still clinging to his brother.

"I can't believe I'm finally moving to New York City." He pulled out of her embrace and his eyes began to search for someone. "Where is Ric?"

Elena's eyes turned towards Damon for help. "He has some errands at his house." Damon said and turned towards Jeremy.

"You are?" Jeremy asked Damon.

"Damon Salvatore." Damon held out his hand and Jeremy took it.

"Let me guess, Elena's boyfriend." He asked grinning. Elena gave him a look that corrected his statement.

"No." said Damon, trying to act nonchalant.

"We are not together." Elena exclaimed and cleared her throat. Awkward.

"I'm Ric's friend. As he couldn't come I volunteered to help."

"Well nice to meet you anyway."

"I think you guys would go along pretty well since Damon and Alaric is inseparable." Elena said with a grin. She knew that both Alaric and Damon would take care of Jeremy.

Behind Jeremy another figure was standing. Elena didn't notice her at first then her eyes fixated hers. Following Elena's eye-line Jeremy saw his girlfriend standing quietly behind him.

"Oh Anna, meet Elena, my sister. Elena, meet Anna, my girlfriend and the love of my life." Easy there Romeo. Thought Damon. For him the 'knowing when you meet your soul-mate' thing only happened in books. And this kid was only 16, barely knowing the harshness of love and it's ability to take everything away.

"Come on Elena lets go. I'm seriously starving." Said Jeremy. Right they were supposed to have breakfast at Ric's place. Now that Ric is having a hangover she has to do something. She quickly took out her phone and sent a message to Caroline:

Change of plans. Can you make breakfast for 4 more people including me? -E

Sure. Is every thing all right? -C

Long story. I'll tell when I get home. -E

She turned to face the trio standing. "Let's go."

When they finally reached their car they decided that Elena would take Jeremy and Anna in her car and Damon would take the entire luggage. Damon wanted to go to Ric's place with the luggage but Elena insisted him to join them in breakfast. Both the cars would then come at Elena's place. After 30 minutes they reached at her place.

"Is this Ric's place?" Jeremy asked suspiciously.

"No it's mine.''

"I thought we were going to his place?"

"Well Ric has some problem in home and also I wanted to spend some quality time with my brother at my place. Caroline would be thrilled to meet you." Elena said as she finally parked the car. Damon also arrived right after them. He parked his car and got out from it. Then made his way towards them making slight eye contacts with Elena whenever he got the chance.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go." Jeremy asked breaking their eye contact.

"Yeah let's go." Elena replied. She stared back at Damon before making her way to the condo.

When they reached the entrance of her condo, the smell of bacon was lingering in the air. She took out her keys and opened the door. She entered her apartment along with the three people following her. And gestured them to the living room. Caroline made her way after sometime to greet them, wearing an apron.

"Hey Jer. It's so nice to see you."

"It's nice to see you too, Caroline.''

"Well breakfast is just served and…" she stopped at mid-sentence and was staring wide eyed beside Elena. Elena also turned around to see Damon was the one sitting beside her. "Oh my god!" Caroline shouted. "Aren't you the hot guy who dropped her last night?!" Damn Caroline and her bluntness.

Could this get anymore awkward?

So tell me what you think on the review. The previous chapters and this chapter also might have some grammatical mistakes so please can you ignore them? In this chapter there is a hint about what Damon thinks about love. In the next chapter there might be some more clues. Please suggest ideas. The next chapter should be updated in no time. The song 'Unbreakable' by Jamie Scott inspired the title of this chapter. This song was used in TVD 6x06 during a Steroline and Delena scene.
