Stefan POV

Klaus decided that we should go and get a drink and find our way from there, so we ended up at the only bar in town, The Frill n Faggot. The name suited the place perfectly. I have seen my fair amount of pubs in my time but nothing like this, most of the tables were broken and there was random chairs placed everywhere. But the thing that hit me the most was the smell, it was the most vile smell I have ever smelt and as we walked closer to the bar the odor was getting near on impossible to bare.

"Alright, what can I get y'all?" I silently gasped as I was hit by the outrageous stench that escaped the guys mouth.

I quickly turned around so my back was facing him, only to be surprised by two girls waving seductively at me, I was a little taken a back but responded with a small smile. But one thing these girls didn't know, while trying to flirt with me, is that I would give them over to Klaus to be slowly killed in an undead heartbeat for just a minute with Elena on her birthday.

I would do anything to see Elena right now...

I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard the bartenders slightly raised voice. "Look, you should just leave. I am not going to serve you when he," the man pointed at me, "is obviously under age!"

I turned to look at Klaus and could see the anger boiling in him, one more word from this idiot and he will probably end up lying in a pool of is own blood in less than minute.

I decided to step in before Klaus lost it completely. I looked straight into the guys eyes and started to compel him. "You will gladly serve me and my friend all night without any questions. You will not question or talk to us unless we are asking for drinks. Is that understood?" I finished and waited for the guy to answer me.

"Yes, I will serve you all night without talking or asking you any questions unless you want drinks." He repeated me like a machine. Sadly for the last two months compulsion has been the only way for me to feel in control, the rest of my life is being controlled by the heartless figure that I am standing next to.

"Very good, Stef." I cringed at my nickname Klaus called me, I swear he knew it annoyed me and that's why he continued calling me by it.

Klaus turned his attention back to the bartender. "Two beers, please and whatever those ladies," he pointed to girls that were waving to me earlier, "are drinking."

Elena POV

I walked slowly up to the the front door of the Salvatore House, with Jeremy just in front of me. Just as he was about to open the door he glanced around and I gave him a wary look. He quickly whispered into my ear, "Remember, they are doing this because they love you." I nodded and softly smiled at him just as he finally opened the door.

All I could see was a pitch black room and a few peoples outline. As I looked up at Jeremy who was grinning happily at me, the lights were turned on, blinding me for a second, when I could see again I was astonished my the amount of people standing infront of me. I was knocked out of my sudden surprise because everyone was shouting a huge "Happy Birthday, Elena" at me.

I hadn't noticed until now that two figures were pushing their way through the crowns until I saw Caroline and Bonnie appear in front of me.

"Happy Birthday!" Caroline beamed as she pulled me into a tight huge. After a few moments I thought I was going to stop breathing at any second.

Bonnie obviously noticed because she put her hands on Caroline's shoulders and pulled her off me.

"Careful Caroline, you don't wanna kill her on her eighteenth birthday, do you?" I just laughed and Caroline shot Bonnie fake evils, Bonnie just shook it off with a laugh. "Happy Birthday, Lena." Bonnie said as she drew me into a brief embrace and then stepped back.

"Thank you," I said looking at Bonnie as I saw Caroline silently pout next to her, "both of you." I corrected and saw a giant smile emerge on Care's face.

"Your welcome, Lena." Caroline said, "Me and Bonnie just wanted you you to have fun on your eighteenth because of all that's been going on lately, with you being a little depressed lately..." I stared at her in disbelief, I knew Caroline could be very insensitive but was she seriously bringing this up right now?

"Caroline..." Bonnie started while she was looking at Caroline with a disbelieving look on her face which must have been mirrored on my face.

"OMG. I'm so sorry, Lena." I smiled nervously at her and decided to stop the death stares I aimed at her. " I mean, we just want you to have fun. Come on it's your eighteenth birthday party!" She flashed a smile at me and we all burst out laughing.

"Come on, lets go dance before Caroline puts her foot in it for the 100th time!" She grabbed mine and Caroline's hand and dragged us towards the oversized dance floor. On the way I received many birthday wishes from people I know, people I hardly know and even people I've never seen before.

When we were nearing the dance floor I heard someone whisper "Happy Birthday, eighteen already? Wow your getting old Elena." I knew exactly who this was. I let go of Bonnie's hand and turned to see him smirking at me.

"Haha Damon." He just carried on smirking. "Oh and, er, thanks for the party and stuff" I thanked him awkwardly.

"Well you are very welcome, Elena." He said and I smiled in response. Then I heard Caroline and Bonnie shouting at me to come over to join them, I glanced over at them dancing and laughing- is it possible for them to be drunk already?

"Er, well yeah thanks I gotta go." I raced off toward Bonnie and Caroline who seemed to be enjoying themselves very much. I tried to steal a glance over to where me and Damon were just talking only to find that he was still there and saw me looking at him. I dropped my gaze and turned around to face back around to Care and Bonnie, blushing a little.

"Come on Elena, you are sooooo not drunk enough." Caroline slurred out, she must of started drinking before the party even started. I just laughed it off and continued dancing. For once I am glad my friends love to interrupt other people, if they didn't I would probably still be talking to Damon which isn't good since technically I'm still dating Stefan and it wouldn't be good for me to be seen talking to Damon while Stefan is nowhere to be seen. And I really don't need any questions about theStefan situation.

…

After about 2 ½ hours of dancing, talking and thanking everyone for coming, I was back to dancing with Caroline and Bonnie in the middle of the dance floor. I haven't touched any alcohol, Caroline is drunk enough for both of us.

"Good party right?" Caroline shouted in my ear, over the thumping music.

"Yeah, thanks Care" I smiled.

"No problem. Now shut up and dance!" I laughed and obeyed, there was nothing worse than ignoring a drunk Caroline.

I pulled on Bonnie's arm and brought her watch up into my view: 11:23pm. Wow I have been here for nearly three hours. Jeremy was right though, it is kinda good just to forget everything for a few hours. I stayed away from Damon and Alaric because I know they have probably been drinking. A lot. I have just stayed with Care and Bonnie while going around thanking people for coming.

"Hey Elena, what are you thinking about? You look like your away with the fairies!" Bonnie said, looking a little concerned, she was obviously not as drunk as Caroline.

"Yyeah, Bon I'm fine." I answered and grabbed her hands and started dancing with her as the song "Give me Everything" by Pitbull started blaring through the speakers.

…

Five songs later and I was still dancing in the middle of loads of people with Bonnie and Caroline.

I felt someone put their hands on my waist and immediately flinched.

"Excuse me, I have a boyfriend!" As I was about to turn around and slap this idiot, I caught a glimpse on Bonnie's face, it was like she had scene a ghost. I continued to turn around with my hand up in the air, ready to slap the guy as soon as I could.

I turned fully around and my hand suddenly dropped to my side and thought I was going to faint. No, no it couldn't be. No way.

"Happy Birthday, Elena." He said while he nervously smiled.

Stefan.
