A/N: First Chapter of "My best friend's wedding" story is here. I wanted to write it yesterday but I didn't have time at all. I had to make my homework and it was like fifty pages. I swear that I can already read them in chinese if I want. Anyway I loved the fact that you all really tried to guess who the groom was. No more suspense because I will reveal that in this chapter. Just don't lose the hints because this won't be the only surprise that you will get from this story. I'm planning so many…

I want to say sorry for the spelling mistakes, but I'm Portuguese and I'm trying my best here. Google translate not always help me with some words and makes me crazy. Don't forget that you opinion is really important for me, so I'm opened at suggestions for this story. After all I don't build this alone…we build this together. SO READ AND REVIEW as a good reader.

CHAPTER ONE: "This is my last decision."

Either way, you're gonna know

Cause what I'm feeling, it's gonna show

Friends may say you're out of my league

But I won't be discouraged because they just can't see

"I won't give up" by Deborah Cox

"I already told you…there is anything wrong with me."

"Really?" Rose asked her when she looked at Elena over her shoulder. "You can't be serious about that." She simply rolled her eyes at the ironic tone of her voice and turned her attention back to her meal.

"What? Just because I didn't say a word since you came back doesn't mean that something is wrong. The world doesn't move around me after all, remember?" Elena asked, raising her eyebrow, but didn't take her eyes from the book that she was reading.

It's been hours since she threw the letter to the bin. It was right besides the wedding invitation that was there since the other night. Elena didn't move a finger to actually collect her bin's bag and place that on the ecological container that was on the alley in the end of her street. She didn't even have more force to reach for them and read the same lines all over again. It was enough. Her head was full of ideas and hopes that she didn't want to have. It was obviously that go to Caroline's wedding wasn't a good idea. She would fall for her sweet high school boyfriend all over again and that was for her the end of Elena Gilbert.

"You are lying Elena…" Rose said after a minute of silence between them.

This time Elena looked up at her with a shock expression on her face and shook her head. "I'm not."

"Liar." Rose said as soon as Elena said that and a small smirk crossed her lips. She knew her so well sometimes.

They were living together for three years ago now. Elena was studying English Literature in Yale's University for five years in the end of the year. It was always her passion. She loved to write small stories about random characters on her personal computer. In home, park and sometimes even on her college library. Normally, her inspiration would always show up in the middle of the night and it wouldn't be a surprise for Rose to find Elena awake at three a.m. right front of her laptop, typing frantically on the keyboard. She would walk into the kitchen to get some hot chocolate milk and a couple of Oreo's cookies and place them on a plate on the dinner table. Elena didn't even have to say anything. Rose knew that she was grateful to have her in her life to help her whenever she needed.

So yes…we can say that Rose knows Elena.

There was still her diary. It was inside of her sock's drawer in a false bottom that she made her father buy only for her. He obviously didn't agree at first because he couldn't understand why she wanted something like that. But her mother got the hint and with a little charm from her side, her father was right on the palm of her hand. It was her "best" best friend, a confidante of so many years. And when Rose wasn't in home, she would just lock herself inside of her bedroom and write on it for hours. It was a habit that she kept since high school. She always wrote her adventures there. Since Caroline's crazy moments and Bonnie trying to make everyone believe that she was actually a witch. Or the gossip that used to circulate around the school that always had Elena as the main character of the story. Even her dates with the man of her life were a constant theme on her old and friendly diary.

All of these memories from her past for her to never forget and to remember in every single line of those pages.

"Pasta is ready."

Rose's voice interrupted her thoughts and the brunette girl looked up at her roommate. For the first time since she arrived, she noticed that her friend changed her clothes. Her middle light brown hair was straight and it looked longer than usually. When did she make extensions? Elena found herself wondering for a moment as she checked out Rose's outfit. The young woman was wearing a dark grey's dress right above her knees. The skirt was in a round form, straight at the edge and showed her forms in a perfect way. Elena could still see the simple and classic ribbon falling on the left side, hugging her waist perfect. She looked stunned and for the first time in that night Elena was curious about the man that she was going out with. It was almost like a rare jewel. A unique moment in fact, since Rose always despised dresses. She always tried to persuade her to use some make up or give some form to her hair. After all is been a year since Rose cut her long hair. But the pixie hair girl got used to that boyish hairstyle that everyone loved so much. Everyone without be Elena.

She couldn't help but whistled when Rose turned around to walk back into the kitchen to get the grill meat that was on the broiler.

"Where are you going so feminine like that Rosy?" Elena teased and quickly stood up with a small smile playing on her lips. Wuthering Heights was the book that was forgotten as soon as she placed that on the small cafe table in the middle of the living room. Her brain was working on finding out about the mysterious guy that she was dating. She could bet that it was someone special or Rose wouldn't dress up like this.

"Are you keeping something from me?" She tried again as she made her way toward the kitchen and passed right behind Rose that was placing the grill steaks on a plastic green tray. The skinny girl leaned forward to rest her chin on Rose's shoulder and smirked slightly, saying in a sing-song tone of voice. "Rose has a boyfriend…"

"I have not." Rose quickly answered, not taking her eyes from the steaks. But Elena knew that she was touching a very sensitive spot and even thinking that sometimes her friend could be a very sweetly and politely English woman, when the mustard was on her nose she would be like a hurricane.

"She does…" Elena kept singing that. "And I bet that he is so ugly that she is scared to tell me." She added, nodding her head like she was trying to agree with her own ideas.

Rose simply rolled her eyes at that and shook her head, holding the tray with both of her hands and made her way back to the dinner room. She could still hear Elena's laughter from the kitchen when she placed the tray in the middle of the wooden table and sat on her chair.

"Will you keep laughing like a pig?" Rose asked when Elena joined her.

The brunette girl was trying to hold her laughter. Her small hand was covering her mouth when she sat down on her favorite chair with a red back and shook her head.

"I'm sorry. I can't help myself. This is so funny because you are so easy to tease." Elena said, laughing again. This time she leaned her head back against the chair and a few tears were sliding down her cheeks for laughing so hard.

Rose ate some pasta that was already on her plate and tried to ignore her this time. But as soon as she took a steak with her fork and placed that on her plate, an idea came into her mind.

"You know what is funny?" The English woman started to ask with her charismatic accent. "How is Tyler?" She added with a false innocent smile on her lips.

As soon as that name came into the conversation, Elena stopped talking and glared at her for the corner for her eye.

That's it. Elena's nerve.

"So?" Rose insisted, cutting her steak and eating a bit of it with her mouth closed. When she finally swallowed that, the woman looked again at Elena that was already eating her pasta and tilted her head to the side. "Are you going to tell me what happened?"

"Are you going to tell me who is the mysterious guy?" Elena earnestly asked her and met her green eyes.

Rose took a moment to study Elena's face as she rested her chin on the back of her hand before nodded her head.

She knew Elena. She really did.

But sometimes she was so hard to read and to understand. She was like a snail, but unlike those disgusting animals she didn't like to get a sunbath. Her shell was for sure her favorite place to stay and hide. Her secrets, opinions or emotions were locked in a Pandora box, but someone obviously lost the key in the past. There was so many times that Rose tried to figure her out. She even talked with one of her friends from her university that was studying psychology to help her to find some reasons for Elena's behavior. The only answer that she got was: She is just shy.

Rose knew Elena and she knew too that the reason behind all of this it was because she was shy. There were so many secrets and mysteries around her that she was already tired to guess what was the reason for her loneliness. Sometimes she knew exactly what she was thinking but there were others that she had no idea. The brunette eyes usually go unfocused as soon as she starts to open her Pandora box and when Rose tries to find something, she just ignores her and hides inside of her bedroom with her door locked, probably writing on her diary once again.

"Fair enough." Rose said after a few minutes of silence. Her light eyes kept on the brunette for a few moments before shook her head and turned her head back to her plate, bringing another full fork with pasta to her mouth, eating that in silence.

The rest of the dinner it was like a knife had cut the temperament of that meal. Elena didn't talk anymore. And Rose tried to concentrate on her food. Any of them wanted to give the first step. They were too stubborn for that and there was no way that this discussion would be over for now, but not for the week for sure.

"I'm going or I will be late for the date. Don't wait for me because I'm not sure if I will be back or not tonight." Rose told Elena as she picked up her brown leather jacket that was hanging on the chair's arm.

The other brunette that was watching television looked up at her roommate for a moment. She didn't know why but she didn't want to go sleep in a mad mood with her this time. It wouldn't be the first thing that this would happen obviously. But it wasn't what she wanted tonight. Her heart was so tight when her mind went to the decision that she would have to do in the next day.

"I'm sorry." Elena started.

Rose was already picking up her flat's keys that were on the dinner table, when she looked up at Elena slightly surprise with her reaction. Until now she always thought that Elena was capable of everything to surprise her. Everything without be regret. She was showing compassion in way that she would never show. It was like she was two persons in one body. She would be wild and sensitive at the same time. The girl in front of her could be stubborn, but worried. She was the typical girl that every man would fall in love with. Why not Tyler?

"I'm sorry that I teased you. I was just kidding." Elena continued when she didn't get any feedback from her. "I wanted you to drop the conversation about why I was sad. Fine I was sad, but I want to keep that only for me." She admitted to her.

Rose could feel her eyes opening in surprise once again when she heard Elena's last ones. Her brain took a few instants to process what the girl was saying. Was she actually opening her heart for the first time? Opening her heart for someone without be a piece of paper? It wasn't like Rose had diary written on her forehead right?

"I got an invitation a few nights ago." She said when Rose didn't say anything. "Caroline and Tyler invited me for their wedding, but I'm not sure if I'm really to go and see them together. I know that I already saw Caroline and she spent a few days with us here. But is not the same, ok? I'm scared. I don't want to cry in front of all the guests like a bride that was left waiting in the church on her wedding day or something like that. I want to be able to look at them and say 'I'm over you two'. But that would be a lie, because I'm not." Elena explained, trying to hide the tears that were almost dangerously falling down her face and turned her head back to the television screen right in front of her.

"You are scared to love him again…" Rose concluded and sat down on the couch right besides her.

Two tears finally slid down Elena's face and she wiped them away with the back of her hand before looked at Rose for the corner of her eye and shook her head. "You don't understand…"

"So explain me…" Rose simply said, leaning forward to be able to look at Elena on her eyes. There was obvious honestly on their conversation this time and she needed to keep the contact with her to be able to make sure that she wasn't lying to her.

Simon Cowell was on the television yelling at some girl that was singing some Lady Gaga song. Elena kept her eyes on the television before she turned that off when the show finished. After a moment she turned on her seat to be able to look straight into Rose's eyes.

"I still love him." Elena admitted, sighing desperately. "Don't you understand? I will always love him no matter what or who is in our middle. He was my first boyfriend and my first love. He will always be my soulmate and who I'm supposed to spend the life with. Not Caroline. She is the rock on my shoe. She is the one that is the middle of us, trying to make him forget what we had. He wrote me a letter and he said that he wants me to move on and that he moved on too. I don't believe him. Our love was so strong. None moves away from a love like this. It takes time and for me looks like an eternity. I don't want to go to this stupid wedding. I don't want to smile at the cameras and hug my friends. I don't want to pretend to be happy at some wedding that I don't like. I don't want any of this. I want Tyler. I want to be his wife. I want to be the mother of his children. I want to make him happy. I want Caroline far away from here."

Rose let Elena's finished before nodded her head as she was trying to collect all the feelings that her friend was showing to her.

"So what are you waiting for?" She asked her after a moment. Elena looked at her with an obvious confused look on her feature. "Why don't you fight for him?" Rose asked, trying to explain to her with simple words what she was thinking about.

The brunette girl shook her head and crossed her arms over her chest, leaning her back against the couch. "I can't."

"Why not?" Rose quickly asked as she turned to the side too and placed her hands on Elena's arms to catch her attention again. "I never had a love like yours and Tyler's. But if I did, I would fight for it until the end no matter what. If he is the love of your life, you will have to get all your strength and find a plan to win his heart back. Better to make him realize that he is made for you and none else. Like you said…he is not Caroline's…he is Elena's."

Elena looked up at her friend for a moment like she was thinking about those words. She opened her mouth to say something when the noise of the door's bell echoed in their apartment.

The two girls looked at the same time at the door and they stood there for an instant, just trying to decide what to do next. Rose could stay and comfort Elena, but she know that she wouldn't want that. It's been years since Elena tried to find her someone that she could date with and that she liked. Finally she found someone that actually matched her. They were so similar that it was crazy. Love was for sure the next step in their relationship.

"You should go." Elena said, looking at the other woman and smiled friendly at her. "Go and have fun for me. I will be ok. I will have a good night of sleep and try to decide what to do tomorrow. Go or not go. That's the dilemma of my life at the moment. I have no idea why this is so complicated."

Rose laughed when she said that and shook her head, standing up in just one move. "That's because you are complicated my friend. Everything around you is a drama, because you are always trying to be the hero in your life. For the first time Elena…let someone be your hero." She added and turned to pick up her jacket that was forgotten on the couch and took the keys from her pocket walking toward the front door. "Let Tyler be your hero." She added when she opened the door and turned to smile at the brunette.

"Easy to say, hard to happen." Elena said rolling her eyes and sank on the couch, resting her head on the fluffy white pillow that her mother gave her when she moved to New Heaven.

"Or complicated for you to decide…just like I said, everything moves around you. You are complicated so your life is complicated." Rose told her and walked out of the apartment. "If you need something call me, ok?"

Elena lifted her head to look at Rose and nodded her head. "Not that I want to interrupt your 'making love' moment or something like that but if someone steals the house or if I find Shrek on my room, I will for sure call you."

Rose laughed with that because she knew that she was just teasing. She was just glad that her little girl was smiling again. "Even if Fiona comes here to have a fight with you for stealing her Shrek, I will come back running to not miss that part of the movie." She said winking at her before closed the door.

No matter what the time was passing and soon or late Elena would have to decide what she wanted to do in the morning. She wanted to be happy. Was that so hard to get?

She wanted Tyler. She told herself that so many times before and now she admitted that out loud at Rose. This was the first time in so many years, but still she was strong enough to do it. So why couldn't she just go to the wedding and open her heart to him?

Caroline. That was the reason. Elena thought about everything and everyone, but she wasn't thinking about one of her best friends. She didn't know how she felt, because they never talked about that. Probably Bonnie knew that since the beginning and because of their past she never told her that. Friendship was loyalty. It was a bond that couldn't be broken for a boy or a discussion in their lives. What happened to the "Hoes over Bros"? It was their motto since their high school years. Actually it was Caroline's idea, since she was the one who used to be obsessed for One Tree Hill and Chad Michael Murray.

Bonnie would hate her if she broke up the happy couple. Jenna would never accept her in her house anymore and Caroline's mother could even arrest her. She didn't want to spend her years in jail, using orange clothes every day. But that wasn't the point at all. She would just have to hurt the people that she liked to be able to be happy. Would she just take that risk?

She loved him. She deserved to be happy no matter what. She had the right to fight for what she wanted. Her mother and then Jenna told her that. If you want something, just fight to get it. So why would they be mad with her? Ok maybe Caroline, but she was always the jealous one. She would never forget the day of the parade when she stole her diary and almost told everyone the secrets that she kept there. And why? To be able to the queen bee at the high school and the loved one in Mystic Falls. Thanks god for Matt that changed the diaries in time and she read her own instead of mine.

Caroline changed. Yes, she would have to agree with that and she believed that was the reason why Tyler was so bewitched by her. But she was his. Elena's…just like Rose told her. He was meant to be with her and none else. Not even Caroline and her pretty eyes or new stab.

She never understood why he gave up of them. He never wrote her back or called her to explain his point of view. But now he did. And she could understand his reason and only made her love him more. There was nothing to think about. She only had one option.

Go to the wedding and steal Tyler's from Caroline.

A/N: Almost 1a.m. when I finished this chapter and I'm feeling like dead. God I'm so tired that I think that I will sleep an entire day. Still I wanted to finish this. Here you all have the chapter one of the story. I have to admit that my inspiration was actually in a good mood. I was so scared to mess up Rose to be honest, because is not exactly like the character that I use a lot for my million Delena's stories that I never finished. So I decided to make her slightly OOC, but like you can see her English way is still there (;

So in this chapter I revealed who was the groom. Tyler. I have no idea why I decided to use him and not Matt, but I don't know… I wanted something different and something huge and something just impossible. Impossible (dot) (dot) (dot) because I wouldn't mind to see a little of action between Katherine and Tyler, but then I will have my Tyler and Caroline and I would have a really tough decision.

In this chapter we learn a little about the relationship between Rose and Elena. This will probably be one of the last chapters where she will show up because only Elena is going to the wedding. But don't worry because Rose is an important character on my story.

Finally Elena decided what to do next. What will she do next? Keep reading to find out in the next chapter.

Don't forget HAPPY REVIEWS.
