Alright here is chapter 2 hope you enjoy!
Damon's POV
As soon as Jeremy said Elena was back I spaced out no one said anything while we were at the table to me after I didn't say anything I heard Stefan say something along the lines of "That's great she's back we will all be there" I knew Ric was pissed as he quickly ended church and immediately stormed off without a word to anyone else i'm sure Jeremy would get an earful later everyone else started to head out besides Jeremy and Stefan "You good?" Stefan asks me as I shake my head "Yeah i'm good" I say turning to Jeremy "Thank you for inviting us Jeremy" He stayed quiet and nods his head as he looks at me and I couldn't help but think there was more he wanted to say "Is there anything else we should know? about Elena being back I mean it's not like she visits often" I say waiting on his response after a few moments he shakes his head "Nah I just thought you all should know it shouldn't' be a secret she's back she needs to be around her family even if she doesn't know it" He says I nod my head and Stefan gives him a smile "I couldn't agree more lets go tell the girls if they don't already know" and with that they head out to the bar leaving me alone to try and process that she was back, I had dreamed about this moment for years in many different ways but I honestly never thought it would happen that she would be back.. and all I wanted to do right now was to see her.. but I knew she didn't want to see me that's the reason no one knew why the girls didn't know she hadn't told anyone.
Carolines POV
I couldn't believe what I was hearing Elena was back and not just visiting back actually living back in Mystic Falls "So you are telling me Elena has a house here in Mystic Falls and she didn't mention it to any of us?" I said getting angrier by the second I could feel Klaus's hand on my back he knew how mad I was without me even having to tell him "Yeah she got back today" Jeremiad says sitting at the bar next to drinking a beer which only pissed me off more that he seemed to be so casual about it all "Well that's nice that she came back without telling ANY of her best friends" my eyes shoot across the bar to Rebekah and Hayley "does this not bother you two at all?" I ask Rebekah meets my eyes "Yes it does but lets not act like we have all stayed the best of friends Caroline she left us high and dry and we have only seen each other once in 4 years" she says as she downs a shot of tequila but before I could go off Hayley says "She probably didn't want any of us to know because of.." but before she could finish Damon strolls in and finishes her sentence "because of me Elena didn't tell you all because of me" he says shrugging his shoulders as he steps behind the bar to grab a a bottle of bourbon which means he was going to drink his pain away and act like he doesn't give a damn that Elena was back and I couldn't help narrow my eyes at him and direct my anger towards him "Of course it was because of you she didn't tell us which is stupid because like any of us care about you" I feel Klaus move in closer "Enough love" he says in a soft voice I let out a frustrated sigh and thankfully Damon doesn't say anything back "Whats her address Jeremy?" I ask and I saw Damons eyes flash to Jeremy and I couldn't help but laugh softly he still cares even if he wants to act like he doesn't "Why?" Jeremy asks "Because we are going to go see her obviously
"We are?" Rebekah asked raising her eyebrow I turn my focus to her glaring at her this time "yes we are because Elena has moved back to Mystic Falls which she wouldn't do unless something big was going on she needs her friends and I get your mad at her so am I but she needs us so were going Hayley call Bonnie and Jeremy text me her address were going if you don't i'll make sure I ruin your chance to get with Rose or Vicki anytime I see you around them" I knew that would work with how bad Jeremy was drooling over Vikki he shakes his head at me in an annoyed tone "Whatever you say Caroline" he quickly pulls out his phone and sends me the address "Thanks" I say patting his back before turning to Klaus "I'll see you at home" He gives me a smirk "Don't kill her" he says leaning in and giving me a kiss before I grab my keys "lets go girls" they quickly say goodbye before we all head out to my car and head to Elena's.
Elena's POV
"Jesus" I mutter to myself as I open a bottle of wine and pour myself a glass walking back to the living room looking around and all I had accomplished in just one day I was sweating and my hair was in a messy bun I looked like crap but I had unpacked the whole kitchen, living room and most of my bedroom I just needed to get all my clothes put away which I could knock out tomorrow I glanced at the clock 11:30 it was pretty late I had been unpacking since this morning but at least my house would be finished by the time work rolled around Monday morning just as I sat down on the couch I heard a knock on my door I stayed still for a moment wondering who the hell that could be if Jenna or Ric wanted to come over they would have called.. besides it was late maybe it was Jeremy but he said he had Church tonight and he would call me tomorrow morning.. oh my god he went to church.. what if he told the club I was back.. I instantly started to feel sick what if it was Damon.. another loud knock at the door I couldn't move frozen in place then I heard it "Elena you open this door right now before I break it down" I knew that voice it was Caroline I couldn't help but smile as I quickly get up and unlock the door.
"Took you long enough" She says as soon as I open the door she was dressed in dark blue jeans and a blue tank top her hair the same color blonde and loosely curled at least being with Klaus hasn't changed her I thought to myself and behind her was Hayley wearing a black long sleeve shirt and black jeans with boots, and Rebekah wearing a white tank top with a leather jacket on top and black jeans and black high heels that made her even taller then she normally is "So i'm guessing Jeremy broke the news I was back or did Bonnie?" I ask hoping it was Bonnie knowing that would make my life easier but by the look on Caroline's face it wasn't Bonnie "Bonnie knew?!" she yells Rebekah rolls her eyes as Hayley steps up smiling at me "Why don't we go inside" she says grabbing Caroline's arm and pulling her past me inside Rebekah steps forward looking at me before moving past and walking inside as well I let out a sigh before walking in and closing the door behind me
"I like your place" Hayley says as she walks into the living room and sits on the couch Caroline lets out a sigh "Yeah it's great, now explain what the hell your doing back and why you didn't tell us?" her eyes on me Rebekah glances at my glass of wine "I'm gonna need some of that wine for this" she says heading to the kitchen "Look Care.. its a long story I promise I didn't mean to make you mad" I say hoping she knows I mean it we may have drifted apart over the years but I still loved them all they were my first friends honestly still were the only friends I had as sad as that sounds.
"Well I am mad Elena I get you didn't want Damon to know and I get we haven't really been the best of friends but I still can't believe you didn't tell us" Caroline says as she finally sits down in one of my chairs just as Rebekah comes back "I can believe it" she says giving me a smirk before plopping down on the couch I let out a sigh and sit down next to Rebekah "So spill" Caroline says in a bossy tone "Care maybe we should back off a little" Hayley says glancing at her then me "I mean I want to know why to but demanding her to.." she says giving me a small smile "Oh come on how could it be?" Rebekah says I can't help but smile a little at how brutally honest she still was "Well it's good to know you haven't changed all that much" I say smiling "And as for why i'm here.. it's complicated" I say staring down at my wine glass but I could feel all their eyes on me mainly Caroline "Your right we haven't changed.. we are still your best friends Elena.. and if you cant tell us why your back then you've changed" just as she says that another knock on my door I glace back at it "That's Bonnie" Hayley says standing up "I'll let her in"
A few seconds later they both are walking back in the living room and now it was Bonnies turn to get Caroline's wrath "I can't believe you knew!" Bonnie lets out a small sigh "Care stop" she says giving me a small smile walking over and giving me a small hug "It's good to see you, love the house" I give her a smile back "thanks Bonn it's good to see you, all of you" I say biting on my bottom lip as Bonnie sits next to me "I'll get back to you later Bonnie but for now we are trying to see what made Elena move back" Caroline says leaning back waiting on me Bonnie glances at me she knew something bad happened but she didn't know exactly what "Look Elena we all know you didn't move back here for some small reason and I get you may not think we are as close as we used to be but you can trust us anything you say to us won't get back to the club unless you want it to" Rebekah says "We aren't club members we are your friends" I glance from her to Caroline to Hayley who gives me a comforting smile "We are you're family and you know it" and honestly I loved that they said it.. because it was true these 4 were the best friends I ever had they were more like sisters in the 2 years involved with the club we had went through so much together and even though I left they always kept in touch with me I was the one who pulled away.. and I needed someone to know besides Jeremy Jenna and Ric.
"Okay.. i'll tell you guys but please don't tell anyone else not Klaus, Marcel or Enzo, or Stefan you can tell Lexi but only if she promises not to tell Stefan" they all immediately agree it will be a secret I let out a long sigh and get ready to tell them why I was back in Mystic Falls "His name was Liam..
After telling them everything that happened in Catalonia they all were speechless for a few seconds the room completely silent but Bonnie was holding my hand the entire time and they all had moved closer so we all could fit on the couch "I'm so sorry Elena" Caroline said hugging me "I can't believe Ric didn't do anything about him" Rebekah said "I mean I want to find him myself and kill him.. if Kalus knew.. if any of them knew mainly Damon" I started shaking my head "That's exactly why she doesn't want them to" Bonnie said the club is doing good staying out of trouble this would get them in trouble "Only if they got caught" Hayley said "Look I can't understand how you feel Elena but this guy needs to be put in his place.. and well the guys are good at that at protecting their family" I let out a sigh "Look guys I get why you're saying that I do I used to think that all the time to when I was part of the club but i'm not now and I just don't want them to handle it" I say honestly "Well you really think Jeremy won't?" Rebekah asked I nodded "he promised" I say but as soon as I say it I can't help but realize he promised he wouldn't tell the club and he did..
"Alright enough club talk she made up her mind" Caroline says "Hayley why don't you call Lexi tell her to come here once she's off so we can fill her in.. but I have a great idea lets have a sleepover at Elena's" She says happily smiling at me I laugh and roll my eyes knowing she wont' budge on it and honestly I feel a lot safer not being alone "Why not lets do it" I say happy to be back with all my friends they were one thing that made leaving and staying away hard.
"Great that way we can totally prepare you for the dinner tomorrow with the whole club" Rebkah says smiling Caroline and Bonnie both give her glares "Um.. what?" I say in shock "What she deserves to know" Rebekah shrugs "Anyone want to explain?" I ask looking at all of them Hayley clears her throat grabbing the wine bottle and pouring me more "Yeah Jeremy invited the whole club to dinner tomorrow, i'll also tell Lexi to bring more booze" she says smiling.
Damon's POV
I wake up to a shirt being thrown at my face I groan and open my eyes slowly blinking at how bright the light is "What the hell?" I say seeing Stefan standing at the end of the bed "good morning to you to" He says shaking his head slowly at me "What do you want little brother?" I say rolling over noticing the girl I had in my bed last night was gone "Yeah I kicked her out last night after you passed out" Stefan said sighing "we don't let randoms stay at the clubhouse and you know it" he says sensing how annoyed he was about it "well Vicki was busy entertaining Jeremy" I say sitting up groaning at how bad my head was pounding looking at the clock "Stefan it's only 8:00 why are you waking me up it can't be to lecture me about my drunken hookup" he grabs my pants and my cut tossing them on the bed "No it's not but it is time to work and if I was you I would get cleaned up you stink and missing work is just gonna piss off Ric even more than normal" he says heading towards the door I let out a long sigh but nod my head and stand up "Hey uh did Lexi go to Elena's..?" I ask he stops and nod his head "Um yeah she actually spent the night there they all did" he says staring at me I nod my head not saying anything not sure what to even say "Are you ready to see here tonight?" he asks I look at him smiling a little "I've been ready since the day she left" he gives me a small smile before heading out of the room.
45 minutes later I head out to the shop spotting Klaus, Marcel and Kol working on their bikes all making comments about the girl I brought back last night before I see Ric and Jeremy in the shops office "Shut up" I say to them all before walking in "knock knock" both of them glance to me "There you are we need to talk" Ric says seriously "I agree we do need to talk about why the hell you didn't tell the club about Elena" I say sitting down on the couch in the office "You mean why I didn't tell you" he says eyes on me as Jeremy sits on the couch next to me "Why is she back Ric" I ask avoiding his question "Damon this isn't what we need to talk about" I can't help but chuckle "The hell it's not Ric I know damn well she didn't come back because she missed her life here there is a reason and I want to know why" I say my eyes on him "Well if she wants you to know why Damon she will tell you but you aren't her boyfriend anymore it's not really your business unless she wants it to be" I felt my blood start to boil at that comment but I didn't even know what to say because it was the truth I wasn't Elena's boyfriend she hadn't spoken to me once since she left..
"Damon look I get you want to know but it's not my place or Jeremy's to tell you it's Elena's and if she never wants to then you have to live with that, but the only thing I want to talk to you about is how you are going to act tonight" he says seriously I raise my eyebrow "How i'm going to act what the hell does that mean?" I ask "I don't want you starting anything Damon don't push her" he says Jeremy just stays quiet on the couch and I shake my head "I can't believe you Ric i'm not the guy I was 4 years ago i'm not going to be a dick to her I still love her" Ric leans back in his chair "Good i'm glad to hear you say it, since you do I also don't want Vicki there or Rose or any random girl I mean it" I shrug standing up "Fine with me I don't want them at club dinner anyway it's family only" I say heading towards the door when Jeremy finally pipes up "Vicki can't come really?" he says in an annoyed tone I smile back at him "Look little Gilbert I get you have a thing for her but she isn't your old lady she doesn't belong at something like dinner when she becomes your old lady she can come" Jeremy glares at me and then looks at Ric "He's right she isn't all lowed" Jeremy shakes his head and storms out of the office
"Prospects" I say smirking before looking back at Ric "I'll see you tonight. I will be on my best behavior" I say sarcastically before walking out of the office.
