Hope you enjoy this chpater as much as I enjoy reading your reviews. Which is a lot. Onto the story:
Two days later …
Despite their promises to talk fate just was not just working in their favor. Every time she and Damon were even close to talking someone had to come and interrupt their moment. Elena was starting to hate her brother for the simple fact that he was becoming a cock block and he was unconsciously doing it. It was annoying to say the least. Jeremy always seemed to happen to pop up as soon as their conversation was starting to get serious and this conversation was not one either wanted to do over the phone. 'Seriously, what happened to him disappearing all the time,' Elena remembered thinking at their last encounter. Elena had told no one but Tom of their encounter.
"Didn't I tell you to just talk to him?" Tom rattled on.
Elena seriously had the mind to shove the bag of hot Cheetos into his mouth just so he could stop bragging about him being right.
"You should have just talked to him. I knew he wasn't into your slutty cousin, no offense. She's just kind of a slut."
Elena actually smiled at that comment. Isobel was a slut. If she would concede to one thing, it would be that her cousin was slutty. Everyone knew; it wasn't a secret.
"Tom, shut up!" Elena shouted out.
Tom laughed looking at his friend on the swing. He could tell she was happy. She was practically glowing at the moment. He smiled at her happiness.
"You were right." Elena said quietly.
Tom smiled in a mixture of excitement and happiness.
"Excuse me? What was that?" Tom exclaimed.
"You were right Tom! If I wasn't so stubborn and I had listened to you, then I wouldn't have been crying over Damon."
Tom smiled at his friend, bringing her swing toward his. He winked at her and made both of them laugh.
"Take my advice more. Your smile is beautiful Lena. Never let Isobel ever take your light from you again."
Elena could only blush and nod at her friend's words. She had felt like she was on cloud nine despite not talking to Damon yet. Maybe she just needed to head back to her house.
"Tom, can you give me a ride back home?" She questioned him.
"Sure, I should probably be heading back to North Grove. Lexi gets out of class in two hours. That only gives me a half an hour of downtime with the drive."
Elena sat in the family room with Caroline and Katherine who were busy gossiping as she daydreamed about Damon. She couldn't help herself anymore. All that was on her mind was that kiss after everything had come out. It was amazing; it made her knees feel like wet clay. His lips were just like she remembered but better. He seemed like he was heartbroken when he figured out why she had been ignoring him. Elena felt like the epitome of foolishness. Gossip around Mystic Falls was just gossip, well most of the time anyway. People like to exaggerate. 'Who the hell could even make that up?' Elena exclaimed internally. She knew Caroline would never do that. She only reported gossip that was well known or had more than three confirmations. The only exception she ever made was if she had it from a witness, and Elena knew for fact there was no witness to their imaginary hookup.
"Earth to Elena, are you in there?" Caroline exclaimed snapping Elena out of her trance.
Elena looked up to her best friend and smiled.
"You've been on cloud nine for like forever! What is going on with you?" Caroline exclaimed.
"Nothing is going on." Elena lied with a giant smile.
"Okay now I know you're smiling Lena. Why are you smiling so damn much?" Katherine shouted.
Elena tried to stop smiling but it was no use. She could not help but to smile. Damon had her on a plane all her own and she felt like no one would ever make her this happy ever again.
"Can't I just be in a very happy mood?" Elena questioned.
"Please, you've been sulking around here-"
"You've been acting like Mother Nature paid you a visit ever since Damon took Isobel out!" Caroline shouted.
Elena laughed. Caroline could over exaggerate anything. You could spill a couple of drops on the floor and she would make it seem like you flooded the house.
"Ha! Since I'm on the shot, I don't have a period!" Elena exclaimed making Caroline laugh.
"Well we need a party so I'm cutting on some music." Katherine told them.
She got up from the couch and walked over to her laptop which was hooked up to the huge speakers. The beat to one of Elena's new favorite songs flowed throughout the room. Katherine pulled Caroline up laughing. Elena watched her sister and best friend like they did not have a care in the world.
We can do this all night
Damn this love is skin tight
Baby, come on
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Boomin like a bass drum
Sparkin' up a rhythm
Baby, come on!
"Baby, come on!" Elena sang as she hopped up.
Katherine and Caroline's eyes went wide as Elena hopped on top of one of the couches and started dancing. Elena still felt free, she felt more than that. It was as if nothing could ever touch her ever again. Isobel was like a particle of dust on her windshield. She was irrelevant compared to her Ferrari. All she needed to get rid of her was a good wash. Elena got her wash, Damon's confession. Elena dipped down and came back up with a seductive smile.
"What the hell has gotten into you?" Katherine exclaimed giggling.
Elena did not answer her sister. She continued to dance.
"I can taste the tension like a cloud of smoke in the air. Now I'm breathing like I'm running cause you're taking me there. Don't you know? You spin me out of control!" Elena sang hitting every note.
Caroline's eyes went wide as she watched her best friend sing in front of her for the first time. Who knew she had a set of lungs? Elena jumped form the couch and danced in the middle of the room. She spun Caroline in a circle before bumping hips with Katherine.
"Lena, you can sing!" Caroline exclaimed.
Elena just laughed and continued to sway her hips to the beat. Suddenly the music was caught off.
"What the hell?" Elena exclaimed turning toward the laptop.
The girls all turned to see Jeremy and Damon standing behind them.
"Do you need something Jer?" Katherine asked with a smile full of wickedness.
"I have a guest I would like to add to the party list." Jeremy said.
"If it's Isobel, people will have a snowball fight in hell before that-" Elena began to say seeing Damon smile at her statement.
"Elena calm down. Come on in!" Jeremy exclaimed.
The girls all looked to the door. They could hear boots clicking against the wood floors. All of their jaws dropped when Bonnie walked through the door with a duffel bag.
"Did you have an aneurysm Jeremy? Because if you did, it would definitely explain why your little slut is here. I thought we made it clear we were steering clear of her when we found about you cheating on Anna with her." Katherine said.
"Look Kat, this is the way it's going to be. Bonnie and I are together, get over it. I don't like my sisters hating my girlfriend."
"I hate Anna." Katherine butted in.
"Anna and I are no longer together."
"Seriously Jer, she broke up your family!" Caroline exclaimed.
"Look all of you all carry weight in my decisions except this one. Get used to it." Jeremy said smiling.
Bonnie rolled her eyes and threw her bag on the floor next to the girls' set of nail polishes and snacks. Elena smiled when she caught Damon's eye. He just did his infamous smirk as he glared at her. Everyone turned to the door when a set of heels were heard. Isobel entered the room with a bag. Elena froze. 'What the hell was going on?' She thought ready to kick her cousin out.
"Am I too late?" Isobel questioned.
"Too late for what exactly? You weren't invited just like that bitch wasn't." Katherine said nodding to Bonnie.
"Jer invited me." Isobel said smiling at the sight of Damon.
Elena wanted to laugh in her face then go kiss Damon in front of everyone. She refrained herself. She saw the smirk on Damon's face slowly fade as he seemed to back away from Isobel who was stalking into the room.
"This isn't Jer's event. Sorry to bust your obsessed bubble." Katherine replied with malice.
"Kat that's enough! You all need to get along. For some reason, people in this room have a reason to not like one another. It's insane really. I don't like it so I'm doing something about it."
Katherine rolled her eyes as her brother pulled Bonnie aside and started whispering things to her. Elena walked over to Damon and leaned on the wall opposite of him.
"Hey." She said smiling.
"Hey."
Elena wanted to giggle. It was all so surreal. She was nervous for some reason that she could not explain. It made her have the want to laugh.
"So I didn't get an invitation to this sleepover." Damon said smirking.
Elena swore her heart skipped five beats before restarting over again.
"It was an all-girls party. Sorry." Elena said with a fake pout.
"That's okay. We can have our own sleepover soon." Damon told her smiling like a Cheshire cat.
Elena felt herself blush. All the heat rushed to two places: her cheeks and well … Why was he having this effect on her all of a sudden?
"I'll be sure to pencil you in soon." Elena teased with a wide smile.
Elena and Damon just stared at one another until he turned his head to the side smiling. Elena looked down to hide her flushed cheeks. Out of nowhere, he laughed. Elena looked up at him and looked at him curiously.
"What's funny?" Elena questioned.
"Why is Katherine looking at us like we have three heads and why is Barbie laughing?"
Elena felt herself panic. She had totally forgotten that no one but Tom knew about this new development about her and Damon.
"I … I didn't tell anyone but Tom that we had that talk. It's just … we haven't talked about everything yet and I didn't want-" Elena began looking down at her bare feet.
Damon lifted her chin up with his index finger and smiled at her.
"Lena, it's okay. I decided to put off telling Jer until we talked."
"You're going to tell Jer?"
"I'm his best friend Lena. I can't just sneak around with you. He'll know something's up. He may be a little self-involved but he's not dumb." Damon explained smiling.
Though she was worried her brother would flip out, she felt her heart explode with love for the man in front of her. He was willing to tell Jeremy who would most certainly make it seem like world war three erupted in Mystic Falls when he found out.
"I missed you."
The words had spilled form her mouth before she even realized what she was saying. She felt herself blush all over again and just smiled.
"I missed you too." Damon revealed making her smile go larger.
Her cheeks were starting to hurt but it was worth it. He was like some kind of miracle, her own special miracle.
"Alright. We're going to leave." Jeremy said.
Elena stepped back from Damon and walked back over to her sister, who was watching her carefully. Bonnie flopped down on the couch. Isobel had her eyes watching every movement Damon made. Jeremy waved and walked out. Damon looked back until the room and winked at Elena. Elena wanted to squeal but abstained from her initial reaction.
"So, what are we doing?" Isobel asked.
Katherine rolled her eyes and went up to her laptop.
"We were actually having fun. Feel free to not include yourself if you feel unwelcome … which you should."
Elena and Caroline both laughed at loud at Katherine's low blow. Katherine could be a bitch; it was just the way things were. A deep bass filled the room and Katherine smiled knowingly.
"I saw him dancing there by the record machine … I knew he must have been about seventeen!" Katherine exclaimed.
Elena laughed and cheered her twin on. Caroline stood up on the coffee table.
"Yea me! And I could tell it wouldn't be long till he was with me! Yeah me!" Caroline exclaimed swaying on the table top.
"Singing I love Rock and Roll! So put another dime in the juke box baby! I love Rock and Roll. So come and take your time and dance with me!" Elena joined in, jumping up on the table with her friend.
She saw Bonnie roll her eyes. Why was she here except to please Jeremy? 'Would she do almost anything for him?' Elena said to herself. It wasn't like Jeremy was the best boyfriend. The song ended and the girls all laughed together. Katherine gave Elena a knowing glare and pushed her down into a love seat.
"So what's going on with you and Damon?" Katherine inquired.
"What are you talking about?" Elena asked innocently.
"Please. You were ignoring him or at least to my knowledge. You hated him. Now you two are smiling like nothing ever happened." Katherine accused.
"Lena, you have some things to tell us. Don't act innocent either. I saw you two giving each other the sex eye!" Caroline exclaimed.
Elena giggled. She caught Isobel's threatening gaze. She smiled at her just to throw it back into her face like she had done the night she went on the date with Damon.
"We talked." Elena finally said after moments of silence.
Caroline squealed and jumped up from her seat. She giggled and squealed loudly.
"I am so happy for you!"
"Seriously Lena. Two days ago you hated him." Katherine said breaking the trance of happiness.
"I found out some things aren't always what they seem." She said looking right at Isobel as she said it.
"So you found out why he took the lemur out?" Katherine asked as if Isobel was not in the room with them.
"Excuse me I am sitting here. For your information, Damon asked me out. Thank you very much."
Elena laughed. She had to laugh. Isobel was a clown. She was only here for entertainment.
"Please you've been stalking him all summer." Katherine replied with a 'get it right' expression on her face.
"Then why did he ask me out?"
"Because Jer asked him to." Elena revealed making Caroline's jaw drop and Katherine laugh.
Isobel looked as if she smelt something bad. Then she suddenly looked offended.
"As if. Someone is just jealous because they've been in love with their brother's best friend for years and I won." Isobel taunted.
Elena had the urge to slap her. She was never violent; Katherine was always the one fighting. However at this moment, she was willing to make an exception.
"Bitch please. You were saying how he could never take you out when he was with Elena every night he turned you down except if he was at the warehouse or at work. Suddenly he takes you out? You kept asking him too, desperate much?" Katherine disputed with a winning smirk on her face.
"He realized I wasn't going to wait forever."
"For Christ sakes, Jeremy asked Damon to do him a favor!" Bonnie exclaimed then put her hand over her mouth after she realized what she said.
Caroline burst into hysterical laughter.
"I think that was a #fail." Katherine said smiling.
Isobel looked embarrassed. Elena felt bad for her for a second then remembered the last thing she had said to her. She won? More like she dreadfully failed.
"Who won again?" Elena asked with a smirk that could rival Katherine's.
"Why would Jer tell you that?"
"O.M.G! Give it up. Elena please tell her the truth about that summer. Tell her what happened with you and Damon before you left to Georgia."
"What happened before you went to Georgia?" Caroline asked in shock.
The sound of Nicki Minaj came through the speakers. Katherine turned it up smiling.
"I'm Angelina, You Jennifer. Come on, bitch. You see where Brad at. Ice my wrists-is, then I piss on bitches. You can suck my diznik, if you take this jizz-is." Katherine sung with her tongue out.
"In case you didn't realize, you're Jennifer. Lena is most definitely Angelina." Caroline said smiling.
Elena and Bonnie both laughed, they couldn't help it. Katherine was mouthing the words to Stupid Hoe and dancing around the room.
"You a stupid hoe! You a, you a stupid hoe!" Katherine said smiling.
"Put this girl out her misery. You won Lena. You rode that horse like a prized jockey!"
Elena's mouth fell open as she giggled. Leave it to Katherine to throw the fact that they had nearly had sex in Isobel's face, even if it was almost three years ago. If looks could kill, Kat would most certainly be dead. Isobel looked like she wanted to murder her.
"Hey yo, baby bop, f-ck you and your EP! Who's gassin' this hoe? BP?" Katherine rapped with the song.
Katherine danced along with the song laughing. Elena could see Bonnie trying not to laugh as Caroline full on had a laughing fit on the floor. Katherine turned down the song as it ended and smiled at her cousin.
"So who did Elena ride like a jockey?" a voice said from the entrance way.
Isobel stormed out in a mad rage. All the girls spilled over in laughter but Jeremy kept his face like stone.
"Jer it's a metaphor. Chill out. Cool?"
Jeremy turned out and walked off.
"Thanks Bonnie." Elena said after they all stopped laughing.
"What for?"
"For not letting everyone think I lied. Not that I had a reason to." Elena said smiling at her old best friend.
"You're welcome." Bonnie said smiling.
"Umm, make up time over. What happened with Damon?" Caroline exclaimed.
"We talked. He overheard me singing to Tom and wandered in. He told me why he wanted to talk to me. Jeremy asked him to take Isobel out as a favor because she's like a stalker. Damon did it for his best friend but he didn't want what we were building to get messed up because of it. … He also told me about what really happened that summer."
"What summer? What am I missing?" Caroline exclaimed.
Katherine just looked at Elena who looked around. All eyes were on her.
"The summer Niklaus was born my feelings for Damon went up to another level. We … hooked up."
"Oh my God!" Bonnie said with a shocked face.
"What?" Caroline shouted with wide eyes.
"He went down on me and I returned the favor. We would have gone all the way but Kat walked in."
Caroline swatted Kat upside her head.
"Ow!" Katherine exclaimed.
"You stopped hot sex! You deserved that."
All the girls chuckled but then Caroline's face got serious.
"But you two never-"
"The rumor you told her Care, the one about Isobel blowing Damon behind Starbucks." Katherine said.
"Oh." Caroline said her face dropping.
"So what was the truth?" Katherine asked.
"She basically was trying really hard to get a date with him. He had Luca distract her so he could sneak out the back." Elena informed the group.
Katherine burst into hysterical laughter. She held her sides as tears started forming in her eyes. Elena looked at her with a serious face.
"I'm serious. It's just weird. How did someone get blowing him from him ditching her? Who told you that rumor Care?"
Caroline looked nervous as all eyes went to her. She fidgeted with the strings on her socks before Katherine snapped her fingers in her face.
"Rebekah."
The room suddenly went quiet. Katherine's face instantly went up into a grimace.
"Rebekah? As in Stefan's ex Rebekah?" Bonnie asked Caroline.
"Yea, she came up to me and told me that she saw Isobel on her knees giving Damon a blowjob behind Starbucks. Apparently other people knew too. I don't just tell people anything."
"She hated me!" Elena shouted.
"And me!" Katherine added.
"When she told me, she kept saying that Damon was in for a surprise because he didn't know his girlfriend was doing his brother. Maybe that's why he cheated on her."
"Excuse me?" Katherine asked with wide eyes.
"She said Damon had a girlfriend who was dating his brother."
"I never touched Damon!" Katherine exclaimed.
"Well she just kept saying … wait," Caroline said then took a long pause, "She called you Elena."
"What?" Elena and Katherine exclaimed in unison.
"She was mumbling Elena." Caroline exclaimed.
"Oh my God!" Katherine shouted, jumping up.
"What?" Elena replied.
"That bitch. Rebekah!" Katherine shouted.
"What are you talking about Katherine?" Bonnie asked.
"When Stefan and I first started out together, he broke up with her. The same day I first kissed him, he ended things between them. She caught us by the school making out. She kept shouting 'You're going to pay Elena' and 'I knew you two weren't just friends'. I kept repeating 'My name is Katherine, you slore!' but she was too busy shouting at me to hear anything." Katherine revealed to them.
"OMG!" Bonnie exclaimed.
All the girls looked at her. Bonnie had wide eyes and her mouth was wide open.
"Bonnie, what?" Elena shouted.
"Rebekah started the rumor. She thought Kat was Elena so when she found out about Damon and Elena, she made up the Damon and Isobel rumor to hurt her. She was trying to come between Katherine and Stefan but she had the wrong twin!" Bonnie clarified jumping up from the couch.
"That bitch is going down." Katherine bellowed out, her face turning red.
"No Kat. Calm down. We have to do this by being smart."
"Oh, I'll smartly beat the hell out of her!" Katherine yelled.
Bonnie laughed making Elena laugh which in turn made Caroline laugh. Katherine narrowed her eyes at all of them.
"This is so not funny!"
"It kind of is." Bonnie said.
Katherine glared at her before smirking.
"So Bonnie, why did you sleep with Jeremy knowing he was with Anna?"
All the laughter died in the room. Bonnie seemed to freeze as the other girls waited for her answer.
"At first, I didn't know. They were broken up. Then I was too in love to leave even when I found out they were back together." Bonnie said quietly.
"To be honest. You can do better." Elena said with a serious face.
"I know you think so. You shouted that at me when we argued." Bonnie said.
Elena just nodded her head, the moment slightly awkward.
"I want to say sorry though," Bonnie began making all the girls return their attention to her, "I didn't want to break up a happy home. Sometimes things just don't go as planned. I never wanted to lie but I didn't think I could tell you all the truth."
"Understandable." Elena said.
"I agree." Caroline added.
"I'm still upset. You called me a bitch when we argued." Katherine told her.
Elena, Bonnie and Caroline all laughed.
"Let's party!" Katherine exclaimed.
