Arabella Gilbert ♡ TVD

Founder's Day

It was Mystic Falls Founder's day and Arabella was currently curled up in her bed, still wearing yesterday's clothes and makeup. She didn't want to be apart of this celebration, she was tired and her mind kept going over all the drama that happened yesterday. She felt giddy at the thought of Damon been in love with her but that feeling soon vanished when she convinced herself that Isobel was lieing.

She was snapped out of it when Elena and Aunt Jenna rushed into her room "Get up, Elle! We need to get you in your dress" Aunt Jenna demanded.

Arabella reluctantly flung off the covers and climbed out of her bed, a small smile appeared on her lips when she noticed her sister was already dressed up. "You look gorgeous, Le"

Arabella ushered the pair out of her room and took a quick shower. Aunt Jenna was currently helping her get into her 1800's attire whilst Elena helped curl her silky brown hair. "This dress is gonna kill me" Arabella announced when she felt the dress tighten around her torso.

"Suck it up, baby" Jenna said pulling the corset strings tighter which caused Arabella to grip the wooden mirror infront of her and wince in pain.

"All done" Both Jenna and Elena announced. Arabella glanced up into the mirror and smiled, she was very satisfied with how she looked but she couldn't help but think back to the photo of Katherine.

She carefully made her way down the stairs, she took one step at a time, too scared she was going to trip and fall head first down them.

"You look gorgeous, girl's" Aunt Jenna complimented, taking out her camera and motioning for them both to move closer before taking a picture. "Now let's go before we're late and Carol has all of our heads on a silver platter" she joked.

The town square was filled with people dressed up and Damon couldn't help but think about his days as a human. He was walking around scanning the crowd for a certain brunette when he noticed his brother dressed up in what he can only assume is something he actually wore back in 1800's.

"Look at you, all retro" Damon commented making his way over to Stefan who was also scanning the crowd for a certain brunette.

Stefan rolled his eyes at his brother "What are you doing here?" He questioned.

"Why wouldn't I be here?" Damon asked "Bonnie deactivated the Gilbert invention, Isobel is gone and its Founder's day! I'm here to eat cotton candy and finally get my girl" he finished with a smirk etched onto his face.

"Don't start with me Damon!" Stefan muttered facing away from the older Salvatore.

"Oh, you started this Stefan with that whole 'leave Arabella alone' speech last night. Remind me which Gilbert you're dating again?!" Damon asked amused.

After the meeting with Isobel, Damon and Stefan went home and had a little 'heart to heart'. Stefan had denied been in love with Arabella, he claimed he was only in love with Elena and that Arabella was just his best friend which is why he gave Damon the speech about the older Twin. He knew what Damon was like and he didn't want her to get hurt. Damon wasn't blind though, he could recognise the longing looks his brother sent her way but he was adamant that history wouldn't be repeating with Arabella.

"As long as you heard it"

"What?" Damon asked in a mocking tone, he placed his hand to his ear as if he was finding it difficult to hear him "You have no sense of humour, Stefan"

"Actually, I have no sense of Damon humour" Stefan commented.

"Damon humour.. Hey, look, I get it. I'm the better, hotter, superior choice and your scared now that Katherine is out of the picture, that I'm gonna turn all my attention on Arabella and you would actually be correct" Damon paused and walked a little closer to his brother "Arabella is not Katherine" he finished.
