Anastasia POV:
We walked into my office to talk more about the school and see if they liked it.

I sit behind my desk while Hope, Hayley, and Klaus sit on the chairs across from my desk. Freya and Davina sit on the couch. Elijah leans on the wall near the door. I can tell he is trying to stay as far away from me as he can get. Alaric sits in a chair next to the couch, giving me sad eyes since he knows that the Mikaelsons' being back is hard for me. Kol, being his overprotective self, walks behind my desk and leans on my chair.

"Ok, so Hope, what did you think of the school?" I ask her. "I really liked it. I have always wanted to go to a school," Hope says while she looks at her parents with pleading eyes. "Mom, dad, can I go here?" Hope begs. "Well, you can go here as long as Ms. Forbes will allow you to," Hayley says snarkily.

Kol starts snickering, but I ignore him. "What is it, Kol?" Klaus snaps. Kol bursts out laughing almost immediately. I elbow him and look at him, mouthing "What the hell are you doing?" He continues to laugh. "Well, what is so funny to me is 'Ms. Forbes,' as you call her." Kol giggles while making air quotes. Everyone assumes that he is referring to the fact that he is being so formal, especially since he has never called me that before. "I believe that our brother is referring to the fact that Forbes is not her last name anymore. "I would assume that it is now Salvatore," Elijah inquires. I now see that he has moved to my wall that has pictures and is holding my wedding picture.

Everyone looks at me stunned. Klaus looks pissed, which he has no right to be, and Kol looks amused. "You married Damon!" Klaus yells. I open my mouth to speak, but before I can, Kol says, "No, of course, she didn't marry that dimwit." Now I try to speak, but I get cut off again by Klaus. "She married, she ripped," she shouts.

I am finally able to get a word in. "Ok, I understand that my love life is interesting, but can we get back to getting Hope enrolled?" I say. Hope and Haley nod and I take out an enrollment packet and start to fill it out. "What is your full name?" I asked Hope. "Hope Bailey Mikaelson," she replies. I looked at her in shock before quickly turning away. I write that at the top of the page. I wrote her age as '16'. Kol told me she was just a few months older than the twins.

I finished filling out the rest of the paperwork. "So I hope everything is ready to go. You can start on Monday if you would like," I say. She nods and says, "Yeah, that would be great." I tell the Mikaelsons, "Ok, we'll we have finished everything we need to do here," before I go. Everyone starts to file out the door except for Klaus, Kol, and Elijah.

"We need to talk to Anastasia," both Klaus and Elijah say at the same time. "Unless it is about Hope and her schooling experience here, I am afraid I am unavailable," I tell them. "Kol, you can leave," Klaus says. Kol shakes his head and stands his ground. "Please leave so I can finish working," I say to Klaus and Elijah. They both don't move. "Well, if you are not going to leave, I will," I say, walking out the door with Kol on my heels.

*Flash Forward to the Evening*

We invited Kol, Davina, and Freya to dinner at our house. Ric decided to grill burgers and Josie made some sides because I have never been good at cooking. Our guests showed up, and we had a nice meal. I got to know Freya and Davina who are very nice women. Our guests don't stay long before they head back home. I tuck all of the little kids into bed and kiss them good night. Then I walk by the living room and remind the teenagers that they should go to bed at a reasonable hour.

I walk into my room and get undressed to change into my night clothes. I hear a knock on my window. I go to it and see Elijah. I realize that I am half naked, wearing booty shorts and a small lacey bra. "I am sorry for the intrusion, but I had to see you," Elijah says. "Why Elijah, why, after almost 16 years, do you need to see me?" I say angrily towards him. He shuffles his feet, and looks me dead in my eyes and says, "Because I loved you." I scoffed, "If you really loved me, you wouldn't have left me when my son was barely a year old. You made me feel like the most special girl in the world. You were a father to my son. You helped me when I became a vampire. We adopted Alec, my second son, together. I was finally happy again. I thought we were going to be a family, the four of us together, me, you, Alec, and Jace, but you left. You told me you had to go on a quick trip. You never came back. I waited for you. Even when my friends told me you weren't coming back, I waited for you. I got so depressed that Caroline had to take care of Jace and Alec. Eventually, it got so bad that I turned my humanity off. I killed so many people and did so many bad things, but that is not your fault. I should never have believed you when you promised me you would never leave me like your brother did. You and he are exactly alike, but at least his cheating made it not as bad when he left. You gave me no warning and just crushed my heart. "If you loved me, you wouldn't have broken my heart," I shouted at him.

He took a step back and was quiet for a minute after my outburst. "I am sorry Anastasia, I should never come here," he says, quickly vamping away. I quickly wipe my tears away and realize what I must do. I slip on a short mini dress, do my makeup, and sneak out of the house by jumping off my balcony.

Once I get to the driveway, I start camp speeding to the nearest bar. I order shots and quickly chug them all. At this point, I had gotten pretty drunk. I see Freya from across the bar and wave at her to come over. She seems about as drunk as I am, which I must admit could not be good for your health. She starts to flirt with me, and I flirt back. We continued to sit together until the point that the flirting became extremely sexual. She stands up and pulls me behind her towards the bathroom. She kisses me with hunger and lust, and I kiss back with the same force as the door closes.

Don't worry, we will finish more about their night in the next chapter. This is dedicated to @MikaSalvatore18, who gave me a great idea for this chapter.
