The next morning, I woke up to the familiar smell of blueberry pancakes. Careful not to wake up the girls, I made my way to the bathroom that I once had to share with my brother. It felt really good to finally be back at home, even if it was for a little while . I wished we could stay longer but tomorrow was my first day without Jessica. I was officially going to be the secretary of Damon Salvatore.
My thoughts were interrupted by Caroline joining me in the bathroom. We both did our make-up in silence; she wouldn't talk to me much since I told her about Stefan.
'Alright Caroline, I had enough. You are one of my best friends! I hate to see you like this, it wasn't my fault.' I paused, not really knowing what to say. 'I am sure Stefan didn't mean to kiss me. He just had too much to drink, no feelings!'
After a couple of moments she finally replied, ' I am sorry 'Lena. It's just hard, I have been trying to get Stefan to notice me for MONTHS. All you had to do was turn up and he pounces on you!'
'Come on, lets get downstairs and eat brekfast. Bonnie should be up any moment.' I replied, relieved our conversation was brief. I did not want to feel guilty for the rest of the day. We made our way down the stairs, having a small conversation about our plans.
'Good morning, pancakes are on the plate. Grab some and join us in the garden, it's such a great day today!' My mum was always like that. Cheerful. No matter what, she could always stay positive. She was the best role model someone could have. She was always there for me. We just finished eating when my dad started speaking.
'Elena, I found some boxes with your stuff last time I cleaned the attic. I will place them into your room, I'm not sure what you would want to keep.'
' I will sort that oout before we leave for the party.' The Mikelson's are throwing a big barbecue today. It used to be my favorite party of the year, that was before I broke up with Elijah and things just got too awkward. It has been a long time now, so I hope we will avoid any embarrassing conversations. After breakfast was finished, Bonnie took Caroline shopping, I stayed behind to sort those boxes.
They were mainly all trash, but I found some of my old journals and a book. It wasn't any book though, it was filled with songs. See, when I was younger I used to really enjoy singing and playing the piano. Then I discovered my love for directing and forgot about music. Until now. I could not help but flick through the pages, some filled with romantic pop songs and some a lot more serious. One caught my attention in particular, it used to be my favorite. I couldn't help but remember the tune. Quickly, I was brought back to reality as I heard Jenna's voice downstairs. Rapidly, I sped sown the stairs, wrapping Jenna in a hug as soon as I saw her.
'Aww, Elena! I missed you big girl!' Jenna spoke with a sweet voice.
'Me too! Rick, you look great. Where is that little baby I can't wait to meet?' Then I saw the little baby sleeping peacefully in her car seat. She was a little sweetheart.
'Well Elena, meet Hayley Eve Saltzman!' The little girl was a mini version of Rick, apart from the little blonde locks she must've inherited from my aunt. 'She is a little beauty.'
'Come on, you can hold her!' Jenna passed me the little girl, who was now starting to wake. She was so small, I was afraid of crushing her. In the same time, she was so soft and warm. I can't wait until I have my own kids one day. I have always wanted a big family, but it won't happen anytime soon. It's not like Matt isn't father material. He is the most caring person I have ever met! I just can't picture myself marrying him one day, he isn't meant to be my forever. He proved that by not wanting to come with me too Mystic Falls. When we were still teenagers, I was so deeply in love with him, but lately we drove apart. I haven't seen him for days, last time I spoke to him was over the phone at 10pm. We don't have the time. I hope I will meet the one soon enough. In that moment I made the decision that i need to talk to Matt. Soon.
A/N - So guys, the next chapter is the barbecue and coming home! Hope you enjoyed...
