Thank you for reading and taking time to review. Sorry this is updated so late. Hope you like it, thanks again. Sorry for like four different point of views in this chapter, I figured it's best to hear the fanfic from different points of view. Tell me what you think.

"Some things just take time." I say to Klaus. "I know you're not happy with me leaving, but I have to."

He's lying beside me on the bed, stroking my hair out of my face. His face content. I can't tell what he's thinking. Is he mad? Sad? Happy? I don't know. His face looks as if it's made out of stone, and is expressionless. All I know is that he's still listening; and for now that's all I need.

"Klaus, I need to go back. I want to finish my Senior year. You of all people should know what I feel." I sigh, sitting up on the side of our bed; facing away from him. "Klaus-I want a new beginning, but I want to finish what I started here. I promised my parents before-" I take a deep breath before continuing. "-Before they died. I promised I'd finish school."

The bed shifts underneath me, and I feel his lips on my shoulders; hands around my waist. "I know." He whispers. "I just-I don't like what those Salvatore's did to you. I don't like the thought of you being alone. And where would you stay? It's hardly a little over an hour to get here from there, and another to get back. I can't have you driving all day."

I turn to face Klaus. "I'll stay my old place. Jer signed over our house to Matt, just in case anything were to happen. The Salvatore's can no longer get in. Please?"

I could see his jaw line harden. "Alright, but I'll check in on you to make sure you're okay. I don't want those brother's to hurt you again."

I think I just squealed under my breath. "Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!" I say and hug him.

"I think I have some conditions first," He begins. "I want to be the one who drives you to and from school, I want to see you sometimes after school, and I want you to live with me down there. I'll get us an apartment." I think my face dropped at his saying because Klaus looked at me kind of shocked. "Something wrong?"

"Klaus-I need some freedom."

"No! Absolutely not."

"Klaus! I can't live like a prisoner in my own house!"

He smirks, "I can always compel you to not leave ours." He whispers, kissing my jaw.

I move away from the bed, leaving Klaus lying there looking after me. "No, Klaus I need to do this."

"Fine." He breathes. "But the moment I see something off, I'm taking you back here. I don't want those brothers getting after you. They'll corrupt you again."

I smile at his words. "I'll never let them."

"You got that right, Love."

"Now, do you mind driving me to school? You're a must faster driver than me."

"Elena?" A high pitched voice sounds. "Oh my gosh Elena!"

Before I had time to turn around, I was crushed in a death, grip, hug. Caroline. Should've known.

"Can't….Breathe!"

I feel air coming back to my lungs a moment later. "Sorry." She gives a sympathetic smile. "So where have you been? Stefan said-"

"Stefan?"

She gave me a curious look. "Salvatore…" I raise my eyebrow. Caroline gives me the 'you're supposed to know him look,' and I shrug. "Come on." She says grabbing my arm.

Before I knew it I was standing in front of a broad teenage guy with short black hair and dark sunglasses.

"Elena!" He said shocked, reaching in for a hug.

Just before he could get to me I backed up away from him a few steps, "Um…who are you?"

Both Caroline and the odd man were standing there shocked, and staring at me weird. A few moments of awkward silence pass before the school bell rings, signaling five minutes before class is to start.

"If you'll excuse me, I have to get to class. Nice meeting you-"

"Stefan Salvatore."

I smile quickly and walk away rather fast.

Stefan

Can I really believe what just happened? Did she really just do that? Does she really not know who I am, or is it some kind of sick joke? I stare after her shocked, not able to move from the spot in which I stand.

"What the hell just happened?" I ask.

"Klaus?"

I look down towards her. "Definitely."

"So now what do we do?"

"Right now? Go to class. See what she does remember, and then we go from there, I guess. We need to get Damon over here, maybe he'll have an idea."

Klaus

Sitting outside of a high school, waiting for my doppelganger is the most boring job I'd ever had to do. I keep seeing teenage drama queens running around the front of the school like they are five. I look at my clock; great ten minutes late, where the hell is she?

"Klaus."

Speak of the devil. "Damon, so nice to see you." I say turning towards him.

"Yea, I could hardly say the same about you."

"What do you want, I hardly have the time to listen to your obscure nonsense; so please get to the point."

"I don't know what the hell you did to her, but leave her the hell alone, mate." He spits.

I don't have time to say anything before he walks back to his hidden car. She's now twenty minutes late, where the hell is she? Then it finally clicks. Damn those fucken' Salvatores!

Elena

First day at school in about three weeks and already I have more homework than I did in a year here. I had also been questioned by not one, not two, but four people, whom won't leave me alone about where I've been. I feel as if I want to bang my head into a wall.

I go to my locker, stuffing my books in my bag, and head towards the front doors. Klaus is supposed to pick me up any minute to drive me back to my place.

"Elena." A voice calls from behind me, but no one's there.

Before I have time to turn back around, I'm grabbed from behind, and held firmly in place. My arms claw at the invisible hands around me, but a prick nicks me in the neck, and I fall limp into the arms.
