Hi everyone I am back. Finally I know. I was going through some things including a mild depression and then my best friend died. It was hard but then I remembered she encouraged my writing in all of is guttzy form and it gave me inspiration. I hope this chapter lives up to everyone's expectations. I am so glad to be back and I want to thank everyone who checked in on me. I want to thank everyone who stayed with this story through my absence. Enough of my rambling. here it is:
Find light in the beautiful sea
I choose to be happy
You and I, you and I
We're like diamonds in the sky
You're a shooting star I see
A vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I'm alive
We're like diamonds in the sky
I knew that we'd become one right away
Oh, right away
At first sight I left the energy of sun rays
I saw the life inside your eyes
"So Kat, are you ready for school again?" Caroline asked as the girls painted their nails.
"Oh, my outfit says I'm ready to go back to school tomorrow. I am excited."
"And Stefan?" Elena questioned.
Katherine and Caroline both look at Elena with hard stares. Kat finally shrugs letting out a big breath.
"Stefan made a choice, whether or not he regrets it, he is no longer my problem. I just have to remember that." Katherine said going into their walk-in closet.
"Unfair, unreal I wanna tell my heart it's a quick steal. That'd be one way To unlove you. Undressed, unkind That I can't erase you from my mind. That'd be another way To unlove you." Elena sang along with the Elise Estrada song playing in the background.
"Even though my heart is tellin' me to stay Beggin' me to stay. My self-respect is telling me I gotta walk away, so I'm gonna say what I gotta say. I'm gonna Do what I gotta do. I'm gonna break what I gotta break." Caroline sang to the next lines as she rocked side to side.
"Kat, you know what would be awesome?!" Caroline shouted to her best friend.
"And what would that be my good blonde friend?" Katherine egged her on.
"If Elena and I actually got to see this oh-so fabulous outfit you claim to have for tomorrow so we could tell you if you're going to knock everyone off of their feet."
"Why ruin the surprise my dear Care Bear?" Katherine said giggling.
"No, the most important thing besides outfits and Stefan, what the hell are you going to do about the rumors going on talking about you checked into rehab?"
Caroline burst into a fit of hysterical giggles.
"That is so true. You know I heard you crashed Jeremy's car into a tree so he sent you off." Caroline exclaimed.
"Someone told me that you got found in the basement of the warehouse with one of the low-level guys snorting coke and sucking dick," Elena said, "And I'm your sister."
Katherine just gave them both her signature sly smile.
"Don't you trouble your great minds with such trifling matters. Leave it to this great mastermind in front of you."
Caroline's smile slid off her face as she glared at Katherine.
"The same mastermind who took pills and just got released from the hospital. Yes, of course."
Elena laughed as Katherine bumped Caroline as she jumped into bed.
"Look, I can only do as much as I can. Tomorrow is going to be a battle for me; I just need to know if you girls are ready for battle."
"Always." Caroline and Elena agreed in unison.
Elena bunked the horn to her truck as she drove herself, Caroline and Katherine into the school parking lot. It was the third day of school and people were still acting as if it was the first. People scattered around recognizing the car. Elena was bumping Nicki Minaj's Warning from her speakers so the bass was jumping on her truck. The car windows were rolled down so people were staring seeing Katherine in the backseat rapping to the song.
"Damn, bitches wanna fuck with my man. But on the to her hand, things ain't always what you planned. It's the ones up in your prom pictures, at the salon with ya. Now they wanna creep in yo man jeep. I bet you Nicki won't sleep. Cause Imma put the heat to ya beep. You bird like tweet tweet," Katherine rapped as Elena pulled into the spot and she got out of the car, " And watch her smoke like a cigarette. Should have left the bitch a pack a Nicorette's. Leave all them foul bitches wet. I gives a fuck about you and yo bum crew. Mami, I'm the troop. They salute when I come through."
Katherine saluted herself as she rocked to the beat. Everyone watched as Katherine Gilbert returned in typical Kat style. She pulled her Gucci sunglasses from her the top of her forehead and onto her nose to block her eyes. She smirked and waved at the people staring at her. Everyone remained in shock as she twirled to reveal her outfit. Katherine was wearing a high low dress: a black corset for the top and a red skirt that flowed. Her hair was in thick curls trailing down her back and she had on bold red lipstick. Her combat boots were in a wedge style and silver studs trailing up the back. Katherine carried a silver, glitter Victoria Secret book bag. She smirked as the music cut off and the other two girls exited the car. She began her walk to the school.
Stefan watched from the jock section of the parking lot as his ex-girlfriend made her entrance back to Mystic Falls High.
"Oh, look at that Kitty Kat!" one of the hockey players, Brad, yelled, gaining laughter from his crew.
Stefan's fists clenched as he listened to the wolf whistles she was getting from all the males on campus. Tyler put a hand on his shoulder and shook his hand.
"It's like she got hotter just because you broke up with her. Man, were you sure about that?"
Tyler started laughing as Stefan pushed him and walked away.
Elena turned to Caroline with a stale face and the two started laughing.
"Why did she have to do the whole entrance thing?"
"She's Katherine." Caroline said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
The two girls headed into the school with the stares continuing on them.
"Do you think she's going to act crazy all day?" Caroline added as they walked to their first period.
"All day? Try all year. Stefan just reawakened the full Katerina Gilbert experience. He tamed her lioness but now she is like a wild animal. If you get to close, you're gone." Elena replied.
Bonnie walked up to Elena and bumped her hip.
"Hey girlie. What's up with Katherine's grand entrance today?"
"She's trying to make Stefan jealous." Caroline said smiling.
"I'm pretty sure she succeeded. The entire male population of MF High is creaming their pants from her little stunt."
"As they should be." Katherine said walking past heading toward the office.
"Stay out of trouble Katerina!" Elena shouted toward her twin.
"Trouble? Little old me? I think I'd love some." Katherine shouted back with a shrill laugh.
"You'll never be able to tame her again." Bonnie said with a sigh.
"Let's get to class before Wilson blows a gasket." Elena said.
The three girls stalked off to their classroom.
"I am loving this attention. I mean, I think I understand when people say new year, new me."
"Kat, don't you think Stefan is going to get in trouble with your little stunt."
"Excuse me, who?" Katherine asked Bonnie with a vacant expression.
Elena laughed pushing her sister forward toward the lunchroom.
"There's so many potentials to choose from. Eenie, meenie, minie, mo." Katherine exclaimed pointing at the guys as they walked past and smiled at her.
"Katherine, I think you need to cool down." Caroline advised.
"No, I think I need to make an announcement. Hold my book" Katherine said tossing her book at Caroline.
Caroline looked back and forth at Bonnie and Elena as if to say 'Did she really just do that'. Elena smirked back at her as they watched Katherine tap a guy on the shoulder. The guy helped her stand on a table and she clapped her hands.
"Excuse me Mystic Falls High School. Can I have your attention," Katherine shouted making the lunchroom go instantly quiet, "Thank you. I know my absence has caused gossip the past two days so I want to set the record straight. No, I was not a patient at a drug or alcohol rehab facility. I do not do drugs and I can definitely hold my liquor. That's one thing. I was admitted to our lovely hospital on dehydration so please remember to drink fluids during this hot summer. That's the second. The most important thing is about my supposed break up. Yes, Stefan Salvatore and Katerina Gilbert are no longer together. No, I will not reveal why. So all you ladies who have been dick-riding for the past three year, have at it. To all you hotties who I never noticed because I was occupied, hello!"
Katherine blew a kiss to the guy who helped her onto the table.
"I am single and I am taking numbers, dates and presents. This lovely hockey player, Kent Daniels, is my first beautiful specimen. So get in line. Have a great day!"
The lunchroom erupted into a bunch of guys cheering and hollering, as well as girls laughter. Elena, Bonnie, and Caroline were all shaking their heads as they got into the lunch line.
"Katherine Gilbert, boy, I am getting in line for that," They heard one guy say to his friend as they walked by them.
"Unbelievable." Caroline said with a shocked expression.
Elena caught Stefan leaving the lunchroom, red-faced and clenched fists. This was going to be one of those years and Elena was mentally preparing herself for it.
Elena was walking around during her free period looking for Stefan. She had not spoken to him since the day she told him off for Katherine. Katherine could talk for herself now and she needed to make up with her best friend. She knew he was having a not so good day since Katherine was acting as if they were never together. She found him sitting underneath one of the trees by himself. He did not look as angry as he did earlier.
"Hey stranger." Elena said sitting down next to him.
"Hi." He said looking up at her with a small smile.
"So, I'm not going to lie and say I'm sorry for the other day because we both know I'm not. You deserved that. However, I know my twin. When she's hurt, she hurts people twenty times worse. So I wanted to check in on you, you're still my best friend despite all this mess going on."
"Kat is acting like we never loved each other."
"How do you expect her to act Stef? Is she supposed to be going around moping? She did enough of that. She was sobbing to the point where I had to drug her. She wasupset enough to not eat for three of four days. Stef, you're both just seeing the your own sides and I choose her side at first because of what you said to her. Now, I am neutral. I don't even understand how you both together for three years and are so petty to one another." Elena explained.
"It's just I guess I never noticed how many guys would have been trying to date her if we were never together."
"Well now you know." Elena said with a giggle.
"Lena, there are guys on my team, who I thought were my friends, talking about asking her out. I just can't deal with that right now. Hockey players, football players, lacrosse players, the basketball players, baseball players, hell even swim team members are lining up to ask her out. Did I make a huge mistake? No, I made the right one. Or … no, I did!"
Elena laughed at her friend's indecision.
"I don't think that Kat is going to be willing to take you back anytime soon Stef." Elena said in a low voice.
"I wouldn't either. And for the record, I don't think I'm ready to take her back."
"You overreacted over something out of everyone's control." Elena said.
"She could have been cheating on me this entire time with me having no knowledge of it."
"Please Stef, we both know you elt your imagination run rampant with that idea. She would never cheat on you. Please leave that idea alone. You fucked up, now she's fucking up. You two are two fucking messes."
Stefan and Elena laughed together as he sighed leaning against his best friend.
"What am I going to do?"
"Go on like none of this is happening. I told Kat the same thing."
Stefan looked at his best friend before sighing and wiping the stray year that had been rolling down his face slowly.
"Lena! Baby let's go!" Damon yelled through the Gilbert house.
"Hey Damon. What's going on?" Jeremy asked, carrying a box into the living room.
"Your crazy sister and this fool is making me drive them two hours to Richmond to see this crazy concert type thing. It's some festival. I didn't ask. Elena let's go!"
"Stefan, what are you doing here?" Jeremy asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I'm … I'm just waiting on Elena. I understand if you don't want me here Jer … I just-"
"Katherine's here and after what you said to her, I should kick your ass. Regardless if you're family or not. Do you underst-"
"What did he say to Katherine?" Damon asked with a her stare.
"According to Caroline, he called her a selfish and conniving bitch."
Damon turned toward his brother with a death glare and a tight jaw.
"Stefan, I think we should step into the office. Come on."
Stefan always knew his brother had a bad side and it never scared him … until now. Stefan stalked off with Damon following him. Jeremy smiled shaking his head. Elena came running down the stairs rapidly with a sundress on.
"Where are Damon and Stefan?"
"Umm you might want to wait a few minutes. I think Damon is teaching a moral lesson at the moment."
Elena's eyebrows scrunched together as she looked at her brother with confusion. A loud yell and moaning was heard from the back office.
"What the hell is going on?"
"A lesson is being learned Lena. Respect is key."
"What did you do Jer?" Elena asked with a hint of disappointment in her voice.
"I didn't do a thing. It's more about what someone did to a certain someone else."
Elena rolled her eyes as Stefan and Damon came back into the room. Stefan was holding his stomach and Elena ran over to him.
"Stef are you okay?"
"He's fine Elena." Damon said with a tone of finality.
"What did you do to him Damon?" Elena exclaimed.
"I went over certain things he seemed to miss on his upbringing. Obviously it didn't stick with Saint Stefan over here."
"So you beat him?" Elena asked with anger and she pushed Damon in his chest.
He was caught off guard and stumbled back a step. Jeremy laughed as he watched the moment unfold.
"We do not call females out their names, no matter how angry we get. I would never call a woman out of her name. He should know this already. We wouldn't allow this to be done to Lia so I refuse to let him do it to Katherine, no matter his state of mind. He needed to be taught a lesson."
"Sometimes you can be so inconsiderate Damon. Gosh, did you even think about how hard you hit him? His ribs could be bruised or broken." Elena yelled at her boyfriend.
"Elena, I taught him a lesson. End of story. Stop whining about it."
"Go to hell Damon." Elena said turning and walking down one of the halls in the house.
"Sure."
Damon followed Elena down the hallway; before she could reach the stairs, Damon grabbed her back. He slammed Elena into the wall and got into her face, nose-to-nose.
"Listen, you might not agree with what I did to Stefan but it is up to me to teach Stefan things. Our father is gone. Our mother is gone. I am the only person here to teach him right from wrong. I don't ever want him to think that just because he was angry with Katherine he could call her a bitch. That's disrespectful. Would you think it's acceptable if I got mad at you and did it?"
Elena shook her head no still looking at Damon with an angry expression.
"Exactly. He definitely knows right from wrong now. Regardless of how I had to teach him. Stefan knows now and that's the only thing. Plus, I mostly hit him in the stomach and back anyway."
Damon nuzzled his face into Elena's neck and kissed it.
"Forgive me. I was only doing my job as a big brother. Forgive me Lena."
Elena sighed with anger.
"Fine. But I want whatever I want at that concert." Elena said with a giant smirk.
"You would have gotten it anyway babe." Damon said with a giant smile.
"I need to check on Stefan before we leave. Just wait."
Elena headed back into the living room where Stefan was holding his jaw this time.
"Do you need an icepack Stef?" Elena asked with genuine concern.
"No, I'm fine. Can we just head out? Jeremy says Kat is here and I don't want to run into her right now. Especially looking like a football team beat my ass."
Jeremy and Elena both laugh together.
"I certainly hope you took something from that ass whopping because I would hate to have to be the next one to teach you a lesson Stef."
"I'm doing just fine Jer but thanks for the offer."
Damon is smiling by the door when the two walk out.
"Oh you wipe that damn smile from your face Damon. Do you hear me? Or your balls will be having some trouble later on?"
"Eww." Stefan says hurrying out to the car.
Damon laughs grabbing Elena and twirling her around.
"Oh you love me and my balls."
"Please stop!" Stefan yells causing the two to laugh.
Did you all enjoy it? Well please review ;) I would love it. It would make my day. There is definitely more coming soon.
