Stefan's POV
I know for sure that Caroline will never miss her father's funeral, she hates him but not enough to bid him adieu for the last time. I just have to hold onto hope before jumping into conclusions, she must be grieving and I'll make sure to let her do so before I make it about like a selfish bastard that I am.
I've no ounce of sympathy left for this man lying dead in his previous bedroom. He's the worst kind of a nightmare and failed so much as a father nd ofcourse as a husband. I know Liz is mourning him a little even though she hates his guts, I guess when you live with someone longer than you're supposed to, you grow some sort of empathy for them despite how wrong they might be for you, sounds toxic, right? but that's life and we are all stuck in that loop.
Everyone from the group of friends are here, because we all care about Liz's well-being and that she's that one woman who took up the responsibility of playing our momma bear because pretty much all of us are having heavy mommy issues and also because everyone is waiting for that one person to show up.
" Penny for your thoughts ? " Damon said poking my chest while smiling giddily at me.
" Nope " I dismissed, totally aware of the remarks that are to come next.
" So, you're saying you're not quite literally screaming at the thought of seeing blondie again " Damon snarkily remarked, noticing my growing impatience.
" Can we not do this here, Damon. I mean, look around, we're in a place where everyone is mourning the former Sheriff, please show some respect " I said a little sarcastically.
" Please! Stefan, you and me we both know that we aren't here for that unlovable bastard who's incapable of basic human emotions and always treated people like shit. I'm here for Liz, Stefan and shall always be " Damon retorted.
I nod because he's absolutely right here, my brother might be someone with not so good reputation but often times he'd drop the obvious truth bombs that others would feel afraid to admit. Bill Forbes was indeed a sick man, he dreamt big and shit. Shit like controlling people's lives and ruining them for everything else in the world.
Liz came out wiping a tear from her face. Liz and Caroline were the exact replica of each other, Liz has short blonde hair while Caroline has long , silky , straight blonde hair. I admire her straight sun blonde hair ever since we were kids. They're beautiful, she is beautiful. I don't know if she changed it, either way I would like it. Hell, I would like her even if she is baldheaded.
The funeral is set to be held next week because more family and friends are to gather to pave their last goodbye to the former Sheriff.
Bonnie was here with her girlfriend Nora. I love how much she has evolved over the years and to top it all off, she is happy. She's actually the strongest person I know. She's chatting with Jeremy and Nora while holding her hand.
Jeremy Gilbert on the other hand, has become a common name for being a playboy. I'm still not fine with the idea of him dating my little sister, Sarah. He's gonna have a hard time going on with his life if he ever proceeds to break my sister's heart.
I watch from afar as Elena keeps her head in Damon's shoulder while talking to him about something seriously. Elena and Damon are still going strong and they've grown up quite maturely over the years. Elena in highschool and Elena right now has a big difference, she used to have straight, silky brown hair and she curled it out after graduation. She was very thin when we were teens and we would sometime call her 'Eleaf' just to piss her off, man you should have just seen her face then. Her brown eyes captivated many boys in our school but one dark haired, ocean blue eyed boy with a leather jacket stole her heart away.
Speaking of blue eyes, I'm still waiting for my blue eyed angel and I'm losing hope now. I didn't know there's this instinctual feeling inside of me that's constantly asking me to keep faith and that she'll come.
The body of the bastard is to be kept in a morgue till next week. Good riddance.
I was so lost in my thoughts that I almost missed the sound of tires screeching. My eyes snapped towards the passenger side of the car, a brunette came out it. She looks cranky and looks like somebody took a cotton candy away from her, she looks funny.
And then, someone got out of the car and I froze. I can not comprehend in words whatever it is that I'm feeling right now. It's like time stopped for a moment. A girl.
A girl whom I thought I had lost forever got out of the car.
