"Stop It, don't!" I screamed loudly as two large and rough hands grabbed me angrily
" Well than you should never have said you wanted to divorce me!' An angry male voice shouted
Elena shrugged helplessly in his grasp and screamed for help, "STOP IT!"
" Listen you little bitch, you will not divorce me and we will continue to live happily!" Matt shouted in her ear, Elena cringed away from his touch hating the feeling of his hot breath near her ear.
" Matt, Mattie please let me go" Elena begged with tears going down her face
"Elena, wake up!" a shrill and girly voice shouted in her ear
Elena shot up from her bed shaking like a leaf, and stared at the statuesque and blonde figure that was her best friend, Serena.
" Elena, are you okay?" Serena asked worriedly touching her friends arm
" Serena! " Elena shouted
Serena gently rubbed her friends back, " Are you going to tell me what's wrong? Was it that nightmare again?"
Elena nodded, Serena helped her friend off the bed and handed her the black silk robe that was hanging off the bedpost.
Elena shrugged it on and walked to the kitchen, Serena handed Elena a coffee and they sat together at the table.
" Serena, I need to find a lawyer. I cant last a minute knowing that I am still his wife, I mean after what he did to me. I am so ashamed and embarrassed!" Elena cried, delicate teardrops went down her face.
Serena looked heartbroken at her friends words, " Hun, do you need a lawyer?"
Elena nodded, "I got Nick to get me a list of the best lawyers in New York."
Serena nodded, "Elena, I don't mean to push you, but when are you going to leave your penthouse? You have been here for the last month and you only have been outside to sit on your balcony. You need some fresh air…" "And some new highlights" Serena laughed while flicking her friends hair
Elena began to take deep breaths, " B-b-but, what about the paparazzi?"
Serena smiled secretively, "They are too busy reporting that I am dating Paul Wesley."
"Are you?"
"No! He's cute and all but you know I like a fire in my type of guy, he's my bFF, we just leaked it so you and I could have fun today."
" But I'm so ugly, there are bruises all over me!" Elena said sniffling
" No your not," Serena winked at her friend, " just cover up… a little"
Elena walked over to her large vanity and began to swirl on bronzer and applied eyeliner and mascara. She preferred the minimalist look, she was the simple one, Serena was the complex one.
Serena went into Elena's closet and found a v- neck Ombre sweater from BCBG and skin tight black leggings, and then she picked out a pair of simple red flats and handed them to her friend.
Elena took the clothes and quickly changed into them; she grabbed a suede clutch from a drawer and followed Serena out into the lobby where a chauffeur waited.
He bowed low and opened the door to a black limo with shaded windows, "Where to?"
Serena grinned and said, "Starbucks"
Serena knew her friend needed time to heal and the bruises that Elena had complained about earlier had already faded to slightly blemished patches of skin. Serena was scared for her friend underneath her happy demeanour. Serena was the one who had helped Elena in the last month, when Serena saw her friend's emotional and physical scars she couldn't believe it. But Serena proudly kept on reaussuring her friend and helping her because she could see that Elena was well on her way to recovery.
When the two celebrities walked into Starbucks, they both ordered more coffee and sat down in a booth at the corner of the room.
They chatted about the latest fashion trends and on how crazy it was that Marilyn Monroe was apparently communicating with some shaman guy when she was dead.
Serena reached to grab her iPhone from her limited edition Prada tote and swore loudly when she spilled her hot gingerbread latte on her shoe.
" Lena' are you gonna be okay? I'm just going to run to the bathroom and wipe off my shoe."
Elena smiled brightly, truly feeling like she could manage being along and shooed her friend along. "C'mon Serena, I know those are Marc Jacobs holiday edition flats, go! I will be fine!"
Serena tottered as fast as she could to the bathroom not wanting to leave her friend alone for a minute.
Elena stood up and went to the counter to put more sugar in her Dark Cherry Mocha, and realized somebody bumped in to her.
She turned to face him, a man with soft-looking black hair and stunningly blue eyes and he was in a gorgeous suit.
She stuttered, "Hi,"
He smiled at her, "Hey, I'm Damon Salvatore. Your Elena Gilbert right?"
Elena blushed, "Yeah"
Suddenly, Damon's phone beeped and he glanced at it. "I'm sorry but I have to go now, here's my card"
Damon dug in his pocket and handed her a card with his name, number and occupation. Elena looked at it and her eyes grew wide, lawyer. He was a lawyer!
"Wait! Damon, are you a divorce lawyer?"
