Surprising Lover (TVDxOC) (Complete)

500 Years of Solitude

Grace, Caroline and Bonnie enter the dorm room carrying a tray of food.
"Okay. Time to wake up, sleepy head."
"No. I'm not leaving this bed."
"Which is why we brought breakfast to you."
They pull the blanket off of Elena.
"What's all this?"
"This is your breakup breakfast!"
"My what?"

Caroline makes a mimosa for Elena.
"So that's it? You're giving up?"
"As she should! He did say, and I quote, 'I'm a bad person. I am bad for you. And I'm choosing to let you go.'"
"You memorized my break up?"
"Of course I did."
Caroline hands Elena the glass.
"Drink this."
Elena takes the drink.

"I just have to face reality. When Damon makes up his mind about something, it's done."
"Yeah."
Elena's phone begins to ring on a neighboring dresser, causing Elena to perk up. Grace goes to pick up the phone, seeing Stefan is calling.
"It's Stefan."
"Tell him I don't feel like talking."
"[to Grace] She doesn't feel like talking."
"[to Stefan] She doesn't feel like talking."
"Well, she's going to want to talk about this."

The girls enter the room.
"Seriously?"
"Elena...We're were just...uh..."
"I know what you're doing. [to Jeremy] You're cut off."
The room is silent and awkward. Elena picks up the bottle of liquor.
"If anyone is drinking to Katherine's last days, it's going to be me."
Elena takes a shot.
"She impersonated me...repeatedly. [takes a shot] Made Aunt Jenna stab herself in the stomach and she cut off Uncle John's fingers."
"He might have deserved that."
"My Grams died trying to close a tomb she wasn't in."
"Tyler's werewolf curse got triggered because of her."
"Klaus followed her to Mystic Falls and because of that, we lost Jenna."
"And Alaric."
Various members of the group stand around and take shots.
"We're going to need more booze."
"She tried to kill me at least twice."
"She did kill me...Although I'm weirdly better off."
"Grace?"
"God I'm going to be hammered."
"Why?"
"Let's see she killed me after I confessed my love for another [takes shot], she is the reason Richard died [takes another shot], she killed more than one of my soulmates [takes shot], she was the reason for Lexi's death[takes another shot with Damon]."
"Wait how did she cause Lexi's death?"
"Both deaths, she killed Lexi by stabbing and turned Damon who killed Lexi as revenge on his brother. Oh also if she hadn't caused any of us turning then Jesse would be alive[takes shot]"
Matt goes down to get more alcohol.
"Rumor has it, she burnt down the entire city of Atlanta once."
"That might win."
Stefan enters from upstairs.
"All right. Knock it off or take it somewhere else. You guys are being insensitive."
"Come on, Stefan. Don't let the sight of a frail, human Elena-look-alike cloud your memories of the manipulative psycho that she is."
Damon holds out a full shot glass to Stefan. Stefan hesitates, then takes it.
"In 1864, Katherine moved into my home, she compelled me to love her, seduced my brother, fed us full of vampire blood and then started a war with the town that got us killed."
"Exactly. Bottoms up."
Damon drinks his shot.
"But?"
"But, centuries before that, she was just an innocent girl that was shunned by her family."
"So for five hundred years, she lied and manipulated and did whatever she had to do to survive."
"And she did. She's a survivor, right? So that's the girl I will drink to today. Cheers."
Stefan drinks his shot.
"Please. One night of hot sex with her and you're brainwashed?"
"What?!"
"What?!"
"Hold up, what?!"
"Oh my...I forgot to tell you. You were kidnapped and hostaged and..."
"Bottle's empty...I should–"
"That's why you never send a busboy to do a man's job."
Damon stands up and sees Nadia standing behind Stefan.
"Nadia...the devil's spawn. Grace or Caroline, did you remember to tell Elena that?"
Caroline smacks her forehead.
"I think my mind just exploded. Okay. Katherine's upstairs."
Elena drinks her shot.
"Actually, I'm here to see all of you. I found a way to save my mother and I need some help."
"Uh-uh. No way. Even my biased brother knows I will kick his ass from here to Kentucky if he helps Katherine Pierce live one more day on this Earth. No volunteers."

Damon looks around at the others to make sure they comply.
"I figured as much, which is why I found that old safe your brother spent the summer drowning in and buried it on this property with your friend Matt inside of it. Oh – without this."
Nadia places Matt's Gilbert ring on the table.
"What?"

Grace, Caroline, Bonnie and Jeremy search the grounds of the Salvatore estate, looking for the place where Nadia buried Matt in the safe.
"I don't see any freshly dug ground."
"This property is massive."
"Hello? Is no one going to comment on the fact that Stefan slept with Katherine? I mean, that's kind of a big deal."
"It doesn't matter. We've all slept with our fair share of bad choices."
"No offense taken."
"No. Obviously not you."
Caroline stops walking. Grace turns to Caroline.
"Bonnie Bennett! Wait, did you two..."
Bonnie and Jeremy say nothing, though Bonnie's expression confirms Caroline's suspicions.
"And you didn't tell me?!"
"I didn't think I was obligated."
"Of course you were obligated! You're my best friend! Oh my god. Does Elena know that her little brother..."
Bonnie and Jeremy interrupt Caroline before she can finish.
"(in unison) No."
"Oh, scandalous sex! Even better!"
"God, how am we the only people on this planet that aren't having scandelous sex?"
"Why don't we split up and think about that?"
"Good idea. We'll cover more ground that way."
Bonnie and Jeremy start to go off in one direction, while Caroline and Grace stand back.
"We'll cover more ground that way."
"I'll go check around the back."

Grace is walking around alone when she gets a text that Rebekah found Matt.
"Thank God, I would rather somebody else was the hero."

Caroline enters the house with a disjointed demeanor, doing the walk of shame. Also in the room are Matt, Grace, Bonnie and Jeremy.
"Hey."
"Hey. Where have you been?"
"(removing a leaf from her hair and zipping up her jacket)In the woods...I got lost."
Everyone looks at her suspiciously.
"So, what are we doing?"
"We are waiting for Katherine to bite the bullet."
"So...this anchor thing...Does that mean you'll be able to, like...feel Katherine's death...or whatever?"
"I think so...I mean, she's human, but she's also a doppelgänger...and a traveler, apparently."
"So, who else do you see over there? Anybody I know?"
"I see lots of people: my grams, the other witches, Lexi, Vicki...I just don't talk about it you know...because it's just..."
"Because it's depressing as hell."
Jeremy, Grace and Bonnie looks back over at Vicki and smiles.
"Tell Matty I love him."
"What's happening?"
"She's here. She said she loves you."
"Tell him that I watch over him...and no more knocking around with that blonde Original chick who almost got him killed."
"Wait...What's happening? What am I missing?"
Everyone gets really quiet, before noticing that Tyler is visiting.
"Me."
"Tyler?"
"Rebekah says to tell you that I'm her parting gift."
Matt breaks out in a big grin.
"Hey, Care."
"(awkwardly)Hi..."
Matt gets up and gives Tyler a big hug. Grace turns next to her and sees Lexi.
"Hello Lex."
"Hi Grace."

"Have we really gone through four bottles of bourbon today?"
"(suddenly making an appearance) Will somebody tell all of these idiots to lay off the booze?"
"Alaric!"
"Rick's here?"
"Where the hell have you been? I thought you bailed on us to go find peace, or something."
"Did you honestly think I'd leave Damon in charge and never look back?"
"He's talking about me, isn't he?"
"He says you're a dick."
Tyler laughs.
"Cheers, buddy."
"Cheers."
Bonnie suddenly looks over, seeing Katherine.
"Katherine.."
"Ding dong. Does that mean the witch is dead?"
"(freaking out) No. Uh-uh. It's too soon. I can't!"
"Hey Grace you said about Lexi didn't you?"
"I did, she's sat next to me."
"Tell Stefan I don't forgive him for sleeping with Kathrine."
"I would however it would be funnier to keep that to us."
"Hey I heard her!"
"Us, Bonnie and Jeremy."
