This Chapter is mostly written in Lizzie's POV , and Caroline is a a integral part of the chapter for obvious reasons which you will see. ( Guess in the comments if you can before reading)



Lizzie had left Hope's Dorm , heading towards her father's office to meet him. She knocks on the door which was slightly open, so she pokes her head in.

Alaric :- Come in

He looks up to attend to the visitor & spots his daughter.

Alaric :- Hello Elizabeth, What can I do for you?

Lizzie is about to answer but spots a bottle of bourbon on her father's desk & snaps at him.

Liz :- Tell me you haven't been day drinking again.

Alaric is taken aback by the statement & takes notice of the alcohol on his desk.

Ric :- Ohh , This , This! No , no nothing like that , Damon Salvatore just came by a few minutes ago for a visit to check in on the preparations & dropped this off as a gift.

Lizzie relaxes listening to the clarification.

Liz :- Uncle Damon & his Bourbon.

She huffs with a tone of Sarcasm.

Ric :- Now why don't you enlighten me to why I have been graced by your presence.

Liz :- Two reasons , first I need to borrow your car & two to check if you know where mom is.

Ric :- Well , why would you need my car now ??

Liz :- Dad , I need to go shopping for the Ball tomorrow & before you ask I want Mom to accompany me , so she'll be driving .

Lizzie gives him a cute puppy dog look.

Alaric sighs knowing that there's no point in arguing about this with his daughter., so he just gives in . He opens a drawer taking a key out of it & tosses it to Lizzie.

Alaric :- Just cause 'I love You' , and your mom is handling the preparations with Emma , I will inform her now & tell her to meet you by the car .

Liz :- Thank you Dad.

She is over joyed & just goes and hugs her dad who pecks her forehead .

Alaric :- Be Safe Honey.

Before he could finish , Lizzie is already out of his office in a blink.

5 minutes later , she is in the Parking lot , searching for the car as she spots it & leans over it waiting for her mother. A minute later , Caroline swoops over right by her.

Care :- Sorry Love , I was busy getting the preparations done with Emma.

Liz :- Its ok Mom, believe me I know it with experience.

Lizzie was used to organising such events in the absence of her mother , but now in her presence she was happy to let her mother take charge.

Care :- I know baby and that only makes me more proud.

She smiles at her daughter .

Liz :- So shall we now?

Care :- After you.

They both smile & make themselves comfortable inside the car as Caroline begins driving while Lizzie just plays a song.

Care :- Ok so where are we going to?
