Attention! All of the songs that show up in the story are NOT mine. I'm only borrowing them for a bit. The glory of fiction story is that I can just pretend that Elena actually wrote all of the songs in this story.
One more thing, I don't own TVD and all the characters. But the plot is officially MINE.
Chapter 1: Where It All Began
"Are you sure?" Caroline asked with frowning.
"100% sure, "Elena answered firmly. "Besides, I can't go back and after him. I won't turn down my fans"
"But he could be your 'it'" Bonnie chimed in.
"Stop with the 'it'. He's gone, it is his choice" she said, trying to fight the tears.
"Elena honey, I know you wouldn't do that to your fans. But if you doesn't go after him, you'll regret it forever"
"Stop! Just stop it! It is his choice to leave. Do you think he'll be waiting for me at the airport? He won't, okay? He said this is not me, he said who I really am was when I sing on stage. I do not need him in my life" one tear started to roll down her cheek.
"Okay, fine! But I expect you to keep your smile when you come on stage" Caroline snapped then went out the door. Bonnie tried to reach her but she was too late.
"Caroline was right, it's okay, it's your choice not to go after him. But we, all of us, expect you to come on stage with that usual smile on your face, "her publicist offered her a soft smile, "You're on in ten"
Bonnie dragged her feet out the door as Elena keep silent and when she heard the front door closed, she let out all of her emotions.
She was sobbing with her hand on her chest, like she couldn't take the pain any longer.
Damon has took it all. Her smile, her laugh, her time, her heart.
And this is where it all began.
"Bon, I made a new song!" Elena squealed as her publicist/manager/bestfriend walked up to her.
"Already? What happened?" she rose her left brow.
"I broke up with Zach"
"What?! Why? Did he hurt you?"
"More like I hurt him" Elena smirked as she grab the bagel on the table and slowly chew it.
"Why? He was the nicest boyfriend you've ever had" Bonnie sighed.
"If I didn't break up with him, I won't have new single"
"Honey, you'll have more hit singles with a brain like yours. You didn't have to break up with him"
"Honey, that's what I do. Fetch my Jimmy Choo purse, please. Mom expect me to call her as soon as I finished my world tour"
Bonnie muttered some words and went across the room to grab Elena's beige purse.
She happily took it as Bonnie went out from her room. She hit some numbers them out it on her right ear.
"Mom?" she asked.
"Elena, baby! I'm so glad you dad started to worry and asked if we could book a flight to Paris right now" she smiled hearing her mom's soft voice. I missed her.
"Oh, mom, don't have to. I just finished my last concert of the tour, I'll be back tomorrow"
"To Mystic Falls?" she could hear surprise in her mom's voice now.
"Yes, I think I need a break from the city"
"That's good! Jeremy will be back for the summer. Oh, this is going to be awesome"
"Sure it will, gotta go now mom. Love you, see you soon"
She ended the call and sigh heavily.
She could pretend that she enjoy the life that she had right now, but she couldn't do it in front of her family. She couldn't hide the big scar she's been hiding all along. The scar that would never be gone forever.
It was summer four years ago when it happen, when she was just an unexperienced and innocent 20 years old girl. She was trust her life with him but it seems he just couldn't get it. It's all because of him.
The monthly boyfriend was nothing compared to how hurt she was when it happened. What she did right now, you can consider it as her sweet revenge for the guy who hurt her so bad.
Bonnie thought she should stop all of it and looking for permanent boyfriend. But how could she do it when the memories and the scars still remained telling her to just go on with hurting other guys so they could feel what she felt?
"Elena?" she snapped from her thought and look up. His familiar face made her heart warm. He was just like a family to her.
"Yes, Ty?"
"I don't know if Bonnie already told you this, but we can't go home tomorrow. We still have to go to New York. You'll be performing on stage in Cadburry High School first" Tyler said hesitantly, he knew what family meant to Elena.
She sighed in defeat, "Should I really?"
"Yes, you should, I'm sorry E" he gave her an apologetic smile before closing the door.
"Yo, Salvatore!"
"Hey, Ric" he said before slowing his pace so his friend could keep up.
"Ready for the big show tomorrow?"
"I don't even know who Elena Gilbert is" Damon shook his head.
"Come on, you've been living in Italy, not in the cave" Ric said teasingly, "Italy does have TV, doesn't it?"
"I was rarely watching TV"
"You have to stop ignoring the world so you can cope up with work. You're 28 for God's sake. It's time for you to look for a girl to settle down with"
"Wow, I didn't realized I brought my mom along with me to America" he smirked as they enter the teachers lounge.
Ric shook his head and went to his table as Damon put down his book on the table and grab a cup of coffee.
"Ready to go home already?"
"Unlike you, I have a wife waiting for me. Don't forget that you're in charge to show Elena Gilbert around tomorrow, so don't be late" Alaric reminded him as he went to the door.
"Yes, mother" Damon said with a smirk.
It was nice Monday morning when Elena and all of her crew boarding from Paris. They should be in New York in the afternoon so she could perform in the evening. They were taking her private jet so she won't be late because of the delay. Cadburry High School was one of the most prestigious school in New York. One of her 'most loyal' fans, she was in almost of her shows even when she had it outside the States, was spent her four years of high school in there.
"No Zach we're done...there is nothing wrong with you, you were great...I just can't do it anymore...No, please, no more gifts...No, even if you're sending me a bunch of roses..." Elena said with her fake-tender voice.
"'Lena, we're taking off in a second, turn off that thing please" Tyler, her producer, said as he still speaking hastily on the phone.
She rolled her eyes, "Look, I gotta go now...No! no more gifts" Click. She shoved her phone back to her purse as she sighed. She looked at her right side Tyler shoving his brand new iPhone into his pocket, cursing.
"Bad caller?" she asked.
"Yes, the one who should welcome you at the airport gone missing. They couldn't get a hold of him. They seriously not professional"
"I don't need a welcome party, Ty. We're leaving after I perform, right?"
"Yes, sure we will" Tyler assured her as he looking at the window.
Tyler and Elena both were from Mystic Falls. They were friends since kindergarten. She count him as a family now, since his dad was a mayor and her parents was one of the founding family so they were so close. Tyler count her as his sister too. He couldn't let her off of his sight when she started dating when she was 15.
"Hey, I heard you made a new song already" Caroline, her stylist/bestfriend, sat beside her with her blond curls perfectly framed her face.
"Yeah, another platinum, here I come!" she said gleefully.
"About what? Zach, the overprotective and gadget-maniac boyfriend?"
"Ex-boyfriend," she emphasized the word. "How about I show you?" Elena took her brown acoustic guitar then started to sing.

"So, what do you think?" Elena asked with a big grin on her face as she put back down her acoustic guitar.
"One word, awesome!" her bestfriend gave her her two thumbs up with a big smile.
"Thanks, do you think I'll get an award for this?"
"Oh honey, with that magical hand of yours, you'll get all awards in the world"
