Katherine had eventually woken up and saw Elena was still sleeping peacefully. She watched as Elena slept and soon started to stir awake. She slowly opened her eyes to Katherine.
She saw Katherine was staring at her deeply with love. It broke through the sleepy veil cloaked over Elena's conscious and woke her up more quickly.
"Hello sleeping beauty," Katherine commented playfully. "Hi," Elena replied smiling slightly. "We have to go out later tonight to meet up with The Salvatores," she informed. Elena frowned. "Remember the talk we had before," Katherine reminded lowly, arching an eyebrow towards Elena.
Elena stifled a gasp and rolled over to get up. Katherine sat up and pouted. Elena was even paying attention, she was going through the closet looking for some kind of clothes.
Elena was too nervous about meeting with Damon and Stefan. She was afraid of their judgment and hurt. She couldn't even bare it. Katherine had a hard time with her trying to get her to feel better.
Katherine was starting to think this little meeting was a bad idea. But she couldn't think like that. It was final, Elena needed closure so she could move on without them holding her back.
Katherine got up and stood silently next to Elena watching as she went through the clothes. Katherine knelt down and quickly found a pair of leggings and a white dress and quickly changed in her spot.
She slipped on a pair of gray converse and she was ready. Elena eventually found converse and over-sized shirt along with shorts and she was ready. When Elena was ready to silently stomp down the stairs and wait for Katherine to come to the car. Katherine quickly grabbed hold of her wrist and stopped her in place.
"Elena," Katherine whispered. She turned slowly towards Katherine and stayed silent just staring at her with her big brown eyes. They did all the speaking for her.
Katherine came forward and hugged Elena tightly. Elena shivered and nuzzled closer to her.
"I'll be there with you. You'll get through this," Katherine whispered in her ear. Elena nodded nervously biting her lip. "Don't leave me alone ok," Elena replied lowly. "I would never," Katherine promised quickly.
They pulled away and Elena took a deep calming breath. "Let's go," she offered a small smile. Katherine held her hand tightly and they walked to the car.
It was silent as they drove but it was comfortable for them. They eventually got to the grill. They walked in nonchalantly together looking around. They saw the brothers were sitting in a booth next to one another.
Katherine and Elena walked to the booth and sat next to one another. Elena sat down first and Katherine sat on the end keeping close to Elena. Elena gripped Katherine's knee nervously underneath the table.
Katherine kept a calm façade as she looked over to the two brothers. "Talk," she practically commanded. She leant back and watched them look over to Elena. "Elena, I'm so sorry," Stefan was the first to genuinely apologize.
Elena gulped and bit her lip. She stayed quiet and just nodded timidly. Damon grimaced. "Elena you know I love you. It's hard for me to see you with the woman I obsessed over my whole vampire life, who I thought I loved but turns out she didn't give a damn," Damon said bluntly.
Elena stiffened but stayed quiet. "I understand Damon," she nodded calmly and spoke in a low nervous tone. "I'm sorry if I hurt either one of you. It was never my intention," Elena whispered biting her lip tightly and staring down at the table nervously.
"Elena we hurt you and we never wanted to do that," Stefan immediately replied, reaching his hand for hers. She looked up at him in surprise. But she smiled. "It hurt me to see you both hurt," she whispered back seriously. "But thank you for understanding Stefan, I hope we can still be friends," she whispered hopefully.
He smiled. "Of course Elena." The three then turned to Damon. Katherine stared at him as if saying "apologize and get over yourself god dammit!" He ignored her glare and just gulped. "I'm sorry," Damon apologized stiffly. "Good," Katherine deadpanned staring tensely at the boys. They faltered and just stayed silent.
Elena whipped her head over to Katherine and silently shot her a look saying, "don't ruin it." Katherine took the warning and shut up. Katherine stayed silent and watched as Elena talked with the Salvatores.
Katherine looked around and saw there were some lingering gazes on Elena and Katherine sitting next to one another. Katherine just glared at the humans and that got them to turn away really quickly.
Elena's hand suddenly grabbed Katherine's underneath the table and squeezed it happily. Katherine smiled happily and looked over to Elena to see she was smiling and talking animatedly with the brothers still.
Katherine went back to staring at the faraway pool table as she silently squeezed Elena's hand back thoughtfully.
"Well it's nice to hang out with you both. But I think we should be getting home soon," Katherine's ears perked when she heard that.
Katherine smiled and got up to let Elena out. Elena joined their hands together and they walked out silently together.
As they took of driving Katherine finally spoke. "So are you happy now?" Katherine asked genuinely. A small smile lit Elena's features and she nodded. "I am," Elena agreed. "I'm glad," Katherine replied grinning slightly.
Elena's fingers suddenly intertwined with Katherine's as she continued driving with only one hand. "Are you ok? You were spaced out the whole time," Elena asked almost sounding worried. She was always afraid something would happen to Katherine and their relationship would be ruined.
Though Elena could never stop loving Katherine. Surprising enough, someone would've thought she was being compelled if she ever said that when she was human. But it was true now with everything that they had been through.
"I'm fine," Katherine drawled nonchalantly. Elena pulled her knees into her chest suddenly and she sat in the seat getting comfortable. She then leaned over to Katherine and slowly kissed her cheek.
Her lips were suddenly at her earlobe. "I love you," she whispered, reminding Katherine. Katherine smiled. "I love you too of course."
Elena pulled back and felt a peaceful smile lift her features. Finally she had peace with the brothers and she'd be able to move along happily with Katherine.
For the rest of eternity.
