I feel like this is the most crappiest chapter I've ever written, I was so tired for the last few weeks so every time I write the little bits and pieces to this chapter I didn't give it my all. But, since I haven't updated for a while I had to give you guys this. Again sorry for the crappy chapter.

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

This was probably the worst date Damon had ever been in, it was even worst than the awkward date he had with this very shy girl in the eighth grade. He never used to judge people from the way they looked when he was at that age, he only cared about their personalities and what they were like on the inside. He never cared for what was on the outside, his mother had raised him to never judge a book by it's cover and that mantra became harder to follow once he hit High School. The girls became more gorgeous and their bodies were ones of goddesses.

He was a boy with raging hormones after all and what he always thought about was sex. Even though he was slightly a geek and a big football fan, it still didn't stop him from having a few mess around from time to time. Those were the good times, he missed the simple days where all he had to worry about was his grades, who was going to be his next girlfriend and graduating High School. Now he was stuck in this terrible date with a girl that had nothing of interest about her except for her Exotic looks.

From the last few minutes he had learned a lot about this woman. Her name was Rose, she hated people who weren't straight forward, loved cats, obsessed with certain types of movies- which certainly weren't suitable for children. After that was said he completely zoned out on her, thinking of a way out of this situation without being rude or seem like a jerk. When he did pay a little bit of attention to her ongoing chatter, she was still talking about her life and how great she was at modeling even though she only started a few months ago.

He had not even gotten a chance to say anything about himself, except for his name. Which she already knew of, since his sister had set this whole thing to begin with. He couldn't believe his twin, his own fresh and blood considered this person a friend. She was such a bore, the only thing he could see them having in common was shopping. Other than that he would have to go to his sister and ask what in the world had she been smoking when she became friends with this girl.

Finally deciding he should put an end to this miserable brunch, Damon smiled at the waiter that asked if they wanted anything else. He politely shook his head and asked for the check, it was his only ticket out of this train wreck of a date.

Once the blonde waiter had left to retrieve their check, Rose began to speak once again. "Wow, I've talked all about myself but I feel like I know nothing about you."

Not wanting to be- in the lack of better words a jerk, he thought he would give being an actual part of this conversation a try. "What do you wanna know?"

"You were going out with Elena Gilbert right?" the brunette questioned.

"Yeah.. I was." awkward silence quickly filled the air after he answered her question. There were millions of questions she could've asked. Why did she have to bring her up? On their first date no less. And if he was lucky enough it would most likely be their last.

"Oh, well.. How do you and Rebekah get along? She talks about you all the time, you seem pretty great from what I hear." The smirk that spread on her thin red lips were supposed to be seductive and to some men it would be. But, to Damon it was a big turn off.

His eyes quickly scanned the room waiting for the waiter to return, how long did it take to bring back a check anyway? "U'm we get along fine, like any brother and sister we have our moments but we mostly just fool around. Cracking jokes on each other and whatnot."

She nodded her head, seemingly satisfied with his answer. "You guys don't have that creepy twin thing?" Rose had heard about how twins can feel what the others are feeling, almost as if they had a telepathic link. And she wondered if it was the same thing with her friend and current date.

"Not really, we do sometimes finish each others sentences and we can tell when we're hurting even if we don't show it to one another... Just normal sibling stuff." he said with a shrug. He found nothing wrong with being close to his sister. Most sibling wouldn't be as close as they are, it was just another thing that made them who they were.

"Do you have any siblings?" he wanted to know if there were anyone else that were like her. And if she did, hopefully they didn't have her personality. She was too into herself, even if he did consider having a relationship with her it would probably have a very unpleasant ending.

They would be all about sex with no real communication. And what he needed more than anything else at the moment was a real relationship, having some wild sex was all well and good until there was nothing more to it and he would soon realize he was wasting his time.

"Nope, I'm an only child." she smiled brightly, it seemed as if she was proud of that.

He was thankful when the waiter finally showed up. His escape was finally here. "Thanks." he smiled at the man then placed a good amount of money for their brunch and tip for the waiter.

When they were out of the restaurant he gave Rose a kiss on the cheek. "We'll see each other some other time?" she questioned with hope and some kind of emotion he couldn't quite identify in her eyes.

"Sure." his irises widen a bit as he spoke. This was the usual sign that said he had no plans on ever seeing her again.

They went their separate ways, one of them thinking everything had gone great while the other was glad to be out of the horrible date.

In the morning

The morning had been filled with nothing but complete silence, the baby was sleeping as well as her niece. Katherine left to go to work and Elijah went out to get breakfast.

Elena missed this, she missed the days where she felt at home with no worries dragging her down. This would be her day away from the hell that her life had turned into. She closed her eyes whilst her arms and legs stretched on the queen sized bed. With a sigh, the brunette got out of bed ready to face the day. Hopefully with no talk about Damon or the fact she cheated on Mason with the elder Salvatore.

She walked to the kitchen with her borrowed pajamas disheveled, her hair a mess and her eyes still groggy from sleep. "Morning." a male voice snapped her out of her foggy state.

She gasped not expecting Elijah on being back so soon "Gah, you scared me..." her hand was placed right over her heart as she spoke and tried to catch her breath. "Morning, honey buns." she teased.

He groaned at that nickname "After 10 years you're still going to call me that?"

"Heck yeah." she looked inside the paper bag taking out the plastic boxes that was full of delicious smelling food.

He sighed showing signs of defeat; he knew there was no way of changing her mind. The only times she never called him that was when she was either upset or just not in the mood to tease him. "Do you mind waking up Danielle for me ? and if Jason is up can you bring him down too?"

She smiled at him nodding her head at his request "I'll go get em' for you." she grabbed an apple taking a bite out of the fruity goodness before going back upstairs.

The technique of creeping inside someone's room was to be as quiet as possible; she had mastered the art of sneaking in and out of rooms a long time ago. So going inside a young child's room was a piece of cake. Elena wanted to surprise her niece since she hadn't seen or heard from her for a long time. She loved that little girl so much, so much that sometimes she wished she didn't have such a popular life.

If she hadn't, she would most likely be married by now and have at most two kids. Kind of like the life her eldest sibling had, someday she would get there though. She would have her own happy ending, but for now she would stick with what she had.

Her feet lightly tapped the wooden floor, even though she didn't need to take such precautions she did it anyway. Once she got to the bed her arms reached to the length of her tiny stomach, her hands slowly traveled under the sheets before her fingers began to tickle Danielle's belly.

The child erupted in laughter as she tried to squirm out of her aunt's hands. "Auntie Lena -stop!" the girl couldn't stop giggling; she tried to find a way out of the elder woman's arms but found no escape.

Elena chuckled at her and stopped torturing her; she hated it when her brother did it to her when she was younger so she decided to put the young girl out of her misery. "How have you been sweetie?" she wrapped her arms around Danielle giving her a warm, snugly hug.

After her giggles stopped, the young girl straighten herself up, fixing her hair as well as her dark purple pj's "I am very good, I learned how to paint from dad and mom is trying to dress me up in girly dresses again... Yuck." she shook her head at the thought with disgust clearly apparent on her face.

Elena lightly chuckled at her words, even when her niece was an infant she would cry when her mother to put frilly dresses on her. At least that's one thing that never changed about her favorite little girl "I'll try to talk to her about that but I make no promises."

A smile spread on her lips at her aunt's words "Okie dokie, is dad or mom home?"

"Your dad's home. He has breakfast downstairs... so if I were you I would run down to meet him in the kitchen and give him a big hug." she whispered, hoping her genius niece would do as she said.

Danielle nodded her head finding her aunt's instructions an easy thing to follow. She jumped off her bed running through the hallway and down the stairs.

After she had jumped from her bed to the floor a cry came from the room down the hall, by the piercing noise Elena knew who had awaken from his long night's sleep. The brunette got up from the bed not paying any attention to how messy it became from her interaction with Danielle, she walked to the room with her nephew's name on it and opened the door.

With a small smile, she walked to the crib that held the tiniest human being she had ever seen. Her hands reached out for his small form and brought him to her face. "Hi there, Remember me? You probably don't but when you were inside your mommy's belly I was there. Sang to you for a few days, you always calmed down when I did that." she reminisced, as she smiled at the baby, he stared at her in silence completely puzzled to what she was saying. He then let out a piercing wail causing her to sigh. Knowing she would have to sing in order for him to quiet down, she started to think of what lullaby she should sing to the baby. As quickly as the thought came to her head, Elena made up her mind on what song she would sing to the baby."The itsy-bitsy spider climbed up the water spout, down came the rain and washed the spider out." whilst she sang she moved the baby around, intimating facial expressions with the lines of the lullaby.

"Out came the sun and dried up all the rain, and itsy-bitsy spider climbed the spout again..." at the end of the lullaby Jason started to simmer down, silence filled the room and she smiled at the adorable baby in her arms. "You like that song too huh?" the baby gazed at her with a spaced out look on his little round face. His doe eyes was so unique, she has never seen a pair of eyes like his.

"Are you okay up there?" yelled Elijah from downstairs.

She turned around, facing the clock that was in the baby's room. Realizing that she took a few more minutes than needed upstairs, she quickly took his blanket with one hand securely holding him in her other arm.

Elena carefully walked down the wooden steps finding the kitchen in a matter of a few seconds before speaking her presence in the room "Yeah, I'm fine. This little slugger over here woke up after Dani went downstairs. I was just calming him down." she smiled placing the baby in his high chair.

"Oh, wow. You took a quarter of the time I do to calm him down." Elijah said clearly surprised.

"My mom used to sing me the same lullaby, I guess most babies just like hearing it." she answered with a shrug.

"Either way thanks. You Gilbert women sure have a way with babies." he gave Elena a plate of her own breakfast, the boxes of food was laid out on the counter so she could pick whatever she wanted.

She started to eat once her plate had waffles, scrambled eggs and a small bowl of fruits next to it. "I guess we do, but you Mikaelson men are definitely lacking our gift." she smirked after popping a piece of kiwi in her mouth.

A light chuckle filled the air after her comment had been said. For once she was finally enjoying herself, she didn't feel guilty about anything at that moment nor did she worry about Damon. For once it would be all about her family, even though this wasn't all of them she felt right at home being with her sister's family.

A call from his job came for him, he thought he had the day of today but his boss said he had to come in today. Supposedly it was very urgent. After asking Elena to look after his children, he changed into his work clothes, kissed the top of his kids heads goodbye and left them in the hands of their aunt.

They hung out for a few hours, watching Disney movies of all kinds. From princesses to race cars, to classics and kid movies. Elena changed Jason's diaper from time to time, she fed him and Danielle when it was lunch time and made sure to give them both their baths before five o'clock. All in all today was a real fun day, she got a taste of what it felt like when it came to being a parent. It was tough since children in their different ages were hard to deal with, but she enjoyed every moment of it.

Elena knew she couldn't have this at the moment. Having a family was one of the things she wanted most, it was also the one thing she couldn't have. To have a good and healthy family, she needed to have a steady man in her life. Not just any man, she needed one that could take care of herself and their children as well.

Hopefully someday she would fulfill that dream, she had to believe she could do it or she would be like all those other models that had nothing going for them but their looks. And even that doesn't last for too long. Once you start to age to a certain point in your life, you start to lose the gorgeous body and face you had a few years before the aging.

When the front door opened, clicking of high heels against the floor could be heard from the end of the long hallway. "Is anybody home?" Katherine asked finding the house in complete silence. The only sound she could here was the TV playing in the living room.

"In here!" Elena yelled from inside the gigantic room.

"Wow, you got them to sleep already?" she smiled placing down the bags she had in her hands on the floor.

"Yup, as Elijah said we Gilbert women have a special gift with kids." a smirk cascaded on her pink lips.

"Mhm, speaking of Elijah where's that husband of mine? I thought he had the day off." she took Danielle in her arms and started walking up the stairs with Elena following her and a car seat in her hand.

"His boss called him in, something about an emergency at work, so I guess he had to go in today." she replied as they reached the top of the stairs.

"Mhm.." Katherine mumbled, carefully tucking in her daughter.

"Is something wrong?"

"No, everything's fine." she smiled taking Jason out of the car seat and into her arms, she then walked to his room gently tucking him in as well.

When they reached the living room Elena asked the question, she been itching to ask. " You sure?" her sister didn't seem all that happy when she mentioned Elijah going into work when he was supposed to have the day off.

Katherine sighed, she didn't want to seem like a worried and jealous wife but ever since Elijah had told her about his boss, she didn't know how to deal with this new piece of information. "Elijah's boss... Carrie has been hitting on him, you know casual flirting and all that other stuff, I didn't believe him at first and convinced him that he was just imagining it. I'm not stupid or anything, I know he's the complete package, he has the looks, the brains, a very good looking body to match..." she paused for a second not wanting to get lost from the problem she was trying to explain.

"I didn't really believe a married woman would actually hit on a married man before I saw it with my own eyes on this barbecue his firm was having, she was flirting with him right in front of me. I'm just worried maybe one day he's going to give into it." a sigh escaped her lips as she combed her fingers through her wavy hair.

"I don't think Elijah would ever do that to you, even if he's tempted... He loves you Kat." Elena whispered knowing exactly how Katherine was feeling.

"I know, I'm just.. I'm scared that maybe this life isn't what he truly wants. What if one day he decides he doesn't want a wife and kids? Did you know that he gave up his dreams of opening up his own company with his family just to take care of me and Danielle? He gave up so much at such a young age..." she stared down at her fumbling fingers unable to look into the eyes of the woman who sat right next to her.

"That should prove to you that he would never do this to you, he's not like the other guys Katherine. Elijah is one of a kind and definitely a rare man to find, so I suggest for you to not worry about it. Spend some quality time with him, show him just how much you love and care for him... Your worries will most likely go away after that." she advised, even though she was the worst person to come to for advice on keeping a good and healthy relationship.

After she listened to Elena's wise words, Katherine wiped the tears that were spilling out of her eyes away from her face. "I'm being crazy for thinking that he could cheat on me aren't I?"

"No, you're not being crazy. You're just worried and that's understandable." she smiled before wrapping her arms around Katherine's tall frame.

"Thanks, Lena."

"No problem big sis." she softly smiled at her sister, glad to see the warm glow coming back to her round face.

"How are things going with the Damon issue?" Katherine asked wanting to know if her sister was handling the situation as good as Elijah had told her she was last night.

Elena was caught off guard at that question, she didn't really know how she felt since throughout the day the Damon situation hadn't once crossed her mind. "U'm...well... I'm going to take Elijah's advice. After the wedding I'm going to end things with Mason and focus on myself a little more and if Damon keeps trying to work things out I might rethink taking him back but I'm not all that sure right now." she shrugged her shoulders hoping that speaking her thoughts out loud would help her make a good decision.

"I think that's a good idea, at least Mason will not be a part of this anymore. Even though he would make a good companion if there wasn't an issue between you and Damon." Katherine winked at her sister.

The younger brunette chuckled at her sister's words "Yeah, I know. But right now I just need some time to figure out what I want; I think going out with Mason was just a silly High School way of me trying to move on."

"Well, there are always other ways on moving on that doesn't involve a guy." she suggested.

Elena raised a brow at her words "Mhm, and what would that entail?"

"We can just have some girl time, just like we used to when we were younger." she smiled whilst staring at her watch. "And it looks like we have bunch of time for shopping"

Elena bit her bottom lip, it did sound fun and she needed to spend more time with her sister. They haven't seen each other for so long, so she thought why not? "Sure, but don't you need someone to watch Danielle and Jason?"

As she spoke her thoughts, they heard keys jingle from the front door and footsteps could be heard from the hallway.

"Back so soon?" Katherine smiled as bright as she could, she didn't want her husband to think that she had any problems with him. After all Elena was right, she was worrying herself over nothing.

"Yeah, it was just a false alarm on the emergency. Carrie didn't really need me there." he gave his wife a soft kiss on the lips as his eyes tried to tell her what was really going on.

As she stared into his brown eyes she saw that there was something wrong with him but couldn't really make out what it was. "Oh, well I'm glad you're home. We girls need to have a girl's night out so you my lovable husband of mine are going to watch the kids while me and Elena go out." she pleaded with her batting eyes and slightly pouty lips.

He smirked at her famous pleading look; whenever Katherine wanted something from him she would give him this exact look. "You guys can go have your fun while I watch the kids." he agreed.

She smiled happily engulfing him in a warm embrace "And don't worry I'll pick out something that you'll really enjoy." she whispered in a naughty tone before gently biting his earlobe and pulling away from him with a smile still on her lips.

Elena watched their interaction wishing that she could have something as pure as they had. Once upon of time she did have that for a few years, except everything fell apart and now she wished she could go back in time and make sure that she kept Damon interested enough to stay with her and only her. All of this time she had blamed him for cheating when she never once thought maybe he got bored with her, they were together for six years. Any man, especially one that had the looks of Damon would get bored, maybe if she had made their sex life more exciting then maybe he wouldn't have- no she would not think of that.

She would have fun and forget the mess that her life had turned into "Let's get changed." Katherine said excitedly as she grabbed her sister's hand and went upstairs with the young brunette following behind her.

Elena went to her room and changed into a red long sleeved shirt, dark blue jeans and black ballet flats whilst Katherine changed into a brown pencil skirt, light pink top with a brown cardigan and light pink ballet flats.

Once both sisters came out of their rooms with bags in hand, they strolled down the stairs and made an exit out of the house.

Katherine first entered her car with her sister already sitting on the passenger seat right next to the driver's seat. "You're going to have so much fun that you won't even remember his name." she smirked.

"Hope you're right." Elena grinned with as much enthusiasm as she could muster.

"Oh, honey I know I'm right." after that was said she drove out of her driveway to her next destination. Katherine was tired of hearing how sad her sister was over the whole Damon fiasco, it was time for Elena to get over him or at least be happy without needing a man in her life and Katherine knew after today her sister would definitely feel much better than she had been feeling for these past few months.

After brunch

Damon walked around Mystic Falls with no destination; he didn't want to go back to the Boarding house since he would have to deal with his sister and her pestering questions on how the date went. And he didn't want to have to deal with that today. So, when he came in front of Elena's old home, he walked up their front steps and knocked on the door. He didn't know if Elena was there and he hoped that she wasn't.

Bonnie opened the door not knowing who was behind it until she saw Damon with a slight grin on his lips. "If you're looking for Elena then she's not here. We haven't seen her ever since the Masquerade... So if you're here to gloat or torture her with your begging then you better go somewhere else." she was about to close the door on his face but was unable to get the front door to budge with his hand in the way.

"I'm not here for her, I'm actually looking for Alaric." after hearing that Elena never came home Damon begin to worry about her well-being but he didn't want Bonnie to see that so he didn't even bring her up into the small conversation.

"He's in the kitchen." the caramel colored woman grumbled as she opened the door a little more.

Once he was inside the Gilbert house he walked through the long hallway finally landing in the kitchen that he had cooked many meals in throughout his early and teenage years.

"Awwhh, how adorable my favorite goddaughter and my drinking buddy sharing lunch." he smirked as he made his way to sit next to Alaric.

"She's your only goddaughter." the brown haired man retorted.

"And she's my favorite, that kid of yours is something special. Not many girls can get on my favorites list you know." he gave his friend his signature smirk then smiled at the baby whilst she tried to reach to him with her tiny hands.

"You wanna go to your uncle don't yah?" Alaric questioned.

The infant giggled as she clapped her hands together with a giddy smile on her round face. Damon chuckled at his niece, even though they weren't related by blood he believed people he loved and cared for including Alaric was his family.

"Here we are." he grunted as she finally was wrapped in his arms. "You're mom definitely gots some good genes."

"Dude!"

"What? You gotta admit your wife is hot."

Alaric's face seemed as if he was pondering his friend's comment before his head nodded in agreement "I sure got lucky."

"He sure did, didn't he?" he said while making goofy faces to her.

She giggled at the multiple faces he made and now her tiny hands were invading his face. He chuckled at her experimenting, every time her palms found his lips he would blow on it and the little girl would let out a cute giggle.

Alaric observed this with a small smirk on his face, for a guy who didn't want to have kids Damon was dealing very well with his daughter. It was like whenever he was her, she would laugh or get very excited.

"You're gonna be a troublemaker, you little rascal." he joked as she started to play with his raven black hair. "Just a warning, when she gets older make sure you have a gun."

"And my husband should have a gun because?" Jenna announced herself whilst taking her daughter away from Damon.

"Well, this cutie over here is gonna be a guy magnet once she reaches puberty. And as his father Alaric needs a little something to keep the horny boys away from her." he smirked.

"Damon that is not a language you should use around Aria!" the redhead shushed him as she covered her daughter's ears.

He chuckled at her while shaking his head "It's not like she can even understand what I'm saying." he took a grape from the fruit bowl and popped it inside his mouth.

"I swear if she picks up any swear words from you I will hunt you down Salvatore." she pointed a finger at him with a Serious look on her face but the teasing glint in her eyes told him that it was just a friendly warning.

"Okay Saltzman, you're the boss."

Aria yawned in her arms which meant it was finally nap time. Jenna smiled at her friend and gave Alaric a quick kiss before going upstairs to put her daughter down for a midday nap.

"You're wife still a spitfire huh?"

"Yup, Jenna has become way more feisty ever since she gave birth to Aria."

Damon smirked at his words whilst he shook his head "I don't doubt that." he got up from his seat and walked around the cabinet to look for something to drink.

"But, how did the date go?"

"It was terrible man, the girl was pretty, had a pretty good looking body too. But, she talked way too much for my liking." once his glass was full with his favorite scotch he took a sip from his drink.

"Damn, good luck telling that to Rebekah." Alaric knew Damon's twin just as much as he knew his friend. And that girl had a big temper when she was rubbed the wrong way.

"I'm so screwed, I don't even know why I even went to that date to begin with."

"At least you're trying to move on. Maybe the girl was nervous, some people tend to talk more than they should when they are."

"You think so? She seemed really confident to me." with his friend's advice he was starting to reconsider his opinion of Rose.

"Yeah, some chicks get like that. Just give her another chance before telling Rebekah anything." he thought Damon deserved to move on from Elena. Alaric loved that girl like his own daughter but he was tired of seeing this defeated look on his friend's face every time they hanged out.

"Mhm, I'll think about it." he replied not really much into the idea of giving it another go, then again he would never get a chance to move on from Elena. He was tired of groveling over her and getting the same response every time he apologized. It was time for him to be a man and stop acting like he has been for the past few months.

"What happened at the Masquerade ball anyway? I heard that Elena never came home after it."

He felt a small ping at his broken heart "Well, we had sex... I seduced her, told her I loved her, she told me she loved me too, we showed how much we loved each other and the next day I woke up and she was gone."

"You guys had sex?" Alaric asked wide eyed.

"Yup." he popped the "p" before he took a sip from his scotch.

"Wow, no wonder she stayed at Elijah's." he murmured under his breath.

"That's where she's been this whole time?"

"Yeah, Elijah called us earlier this morning telling Jenna that Elena would stay there for a while."

He humphed at the man's name, he knew Elijah was married to Elena's older sister but he had always envied their relationship. There were things Elena would share with him when they were together, then there was some things she would tell Elijah but never speak a word of it to him.

"You're jealous of him?" Alaric teased.

"Why the hell would I be jealous of a Mikaelson? he doesn't have anything that I couldn't get.."

"Getting a little defensive there buddy."

He rolled his eyes as Alaric smirked at him "Whatever." Damon wasn't about to argue with him like a five year old, he came for some advice and he got what he came for.

He shook his head at his friend "Wanna play some black ops?"

Damon shrugged placing his empty glass on the cupboard stool "Sure why not." he followed him to the living room and sat down waiting for the game to turn on "Get ready to get your ass kicked my friend."

"You're in for some competition Salvatore, I've gotten pretty damn good."

"Bring it on Saltzman." he smirked.

The girls were on their out of town, Mystic Falls did not have the things Katherine was looking for. She wanted to take her sister to the spa, get her hair done, nails done and all those other types of stuff needed for a makeover.

"We're going out of town because?" Elena questioned with a look of suspicion.

"We are going to give you a makeover. Since this whole drama with Damon happened, you've been really down so I thought why not give you a little something to make you feel better about yourself." as she spoke not once did her eyes ever leave the road.

"I don't need for you to do this Kat." the brunette sighed wanting to go back and curl up in bed with a nice book in her hands. Just because she was a model didn't mean she was not into reading, Elena was not your typical model and she made sure to let the world know that she wasn't like the other girls she worked with.

"I know Lena, but this makeover is long overdue. A soon to be single Elena should have a completely different look than the Elena that is sitting in this passenger seat."

"I don't-" she was cut off by her sister's optimistic voice.

"Relax honey, this might even help you with the whole moving on with your life thing." Katherine suggested.

Elena took in a deep breath to prepare for this little trip with Katherine, maybe she did need this. After all going on a little shopping spree wouldn't hurt her, she did it all the time back in L.A. so what made this one so different from the others?

Since she was finally relaxed and ready for whatever her sister had planned for her, she stared out the window silently staring at the little houses and woods that passed by her sight. Katherine and Elena were in front of a beautiful spa, she had never seen this place before and it seemed so glamorous compared to the other shops that surrounded it. After she had gotten a pedicure and manicure, she let the woman dye her as well. It was cut off by a few inches but overall her hair looked completely beautiful compared to the dull brown it had been before.

Once her little makeover was done with, she and Katherine went to a few shops and picked out new outfits to complete the whole new and improved Elena Gilbert. This was exactly what she needed to get through the wedding that would happen in just a few days.
