You'll Always Have Me~ N.M

3. Sibling Drama

Having a dinner with my two best friends and one of their boyfriends was actually not as bad as I thought. Not yet i mean, Stefans not even here and Me, Elena and Bonnie were only preparing the dinner.Bonnie was specifically talking about her psychic abilities while I was listening very intensely,doing nothing to help Elena with the dinners, sitting down on the sofa.

"You explain it. Last night, I'm watching 9-0. Commercial break came on, and I'm like,"I bet it's that phone commercial."it's the one guy and the girl with the bench. He flies to Paris and flies back. They take a picture."she puts her hands in a camera motion as she pretends to take a photo.

"Oh, come on."Elena groans in disbelief. "That commercial is on a constant loop!" She protests. I try and intervene, but Bonnie beats me to it.

"Fine, well now about this."she pauses before continuing." Today, I'm obsessed with these three numbers,keep seeing eight, fourteen, and twenty-two. How weird is that?" She looks at me in a confused matter. " Maybe we should play the lottery?" Elena questions teasingly.

Bonnie gives her an annoyed face while Elena chuckles, and I try to stop a laugh coming from my mouth."Have you talked to your grams?" Elena questions as I get off the sofa with a groan.

"She's just gonna say I'm a witch. I don't wanna be a witch. Do you?" I walk up to the counter, pouring myself a drink of water.

"I don't want to be a witch."Elena responds before I say, "I want to be a witch." Elena puts some pasta in a bowl. I chuckle as she does. she's never been one for cooking.

"Putting it in a nice bowl isn't fooling anyone." Bonnies right as she usually is. "yeah Elena she's right."

She dramatically scoffs.  "Rude, Is what ye are. Okay, serving spoons.Where are the serving spoons?" I look at the drawer in front of me,"not in here!"

Bonnie turns to face Elena after I say that. "Middle drawer on your left."she points to the drawer she thinks it's in. Elena gives Bonnie a questionable look. bonnie just shrugs.I give them both a look of excitement as Elena opens the drawer, revealing two serving spoons.

"Okay, so you've been in this kitchen like a thousand times." Elena tries to debunk the situation.

"Yeah, that's it." Bonnie then gives Elena a look.

"Keep denying it. That's healthy." I say to Bonnie, just before hearing the doorbell ring. "I wonder who that is!" I say with a Caroline amount of excitement in my voice while giving Elena a teasing look. Elena goes to get the door, "Just be yourself, Bonnie ,your amazing self." I say, giving her a reassuring smile. Seeing through her smile, she put on in front of Elena."I'm gone head to the bathroom real quick."

I was walking to the bathroom seeing Elean and Stefan talking, so snuck past them, running up the stairs. I do my business, wash my hands, and look in the mirror. My face pale and dark circles under my eyes, I should really be getting more sleep. I think I'll have to go to the pharmacy tomorrow and get more of my pills. I used to hate them, but now they're what keep me alive .

Whenever I had to take them, I think of little Tyler and little Caroline telling me,'You are a superhero for taking those pills' and that my new name is now Wonder-Julia-Woman that always brings a smile to my face.

I take out some concealer and powder out of my purse and put a little on. I put them back in my purse, and then I fixed my hair. I walk out of the bathroom and hope that I didn't miss a lot of their conversation.

I walk down the stairs, just hearing their 'coverstaition' if that's what you would call it. they were sitting in awkward silence, and it was Elena who would start small, little conversation starters that lead nowhere. "Hey guys!"I say, sitting down on the chair next to Bonnie.

"Hey," hey all say quietly as I pick up some pasta, placing it on my plate.

"Bonnie, why don't you tell stefan about your family?" Elena gives Bonnie a look that says,'Please be nice and answer.'

"Um, divorced. No mom, live with my dad." I see Stefan give her a sympathetic smile as I put some pasta in my mouth.

"The foods delicious,Elena. Thanks for inviting me." Elena keeps her eyes in Bonnie's view. "Yeah, no problem. Anytime.

"I mean about the witch's, her grams' talks about it all the time. it's really cool. It's really cool!" Elena slowly turns her head towards Stefan as she speaks.

"Cool isn't the word I'd use." Bonnie says, looking at Elena, shaking her head left and right. Elena gives her another one of her 'looks'.

"I'm not too versed, but I do know that there's a history of Celtic Druids that migrated here in the 1800s." Stefan looks at Bonnie as I smile, I love it when people talk about Bonnie's family history of the witches. "My family came from Salem." Bonnie states looking at Stefan.

"Really? Salem witches?" Stefan questions. Bonnie responds with,

"Yeah." while nodding. "I'd say that's pretty cool." I smile wide at Stefan. "Really? Why?" Bonnie quizs him.

"Salem witch's are heroic examples of individualism and nonconformity." Bonnie smiles wider than me.

"I've been saying this forever. Witches are really cool." I state before taking another bite of my dinner. "Yeah, they are." Bonnie moves her eyes between me and Stefan. I hear the doorbell ring again.

Caroline came by with some dessert and brought her new boyfriend Damon Salvatore, who is Stefans brother. "I can not believe that Mr. Tanner let you on the team. Tyler must be seething. But good for you. Go for it." She looks at me at the mention of Tyler but then keeps her head on Elena and Stefan.

"That's always what I tell him. You have to engage. You can't sit and for life to come. You have to go and get it." I sit there on the floor awkwardly because I let Bonnie on the small single sofa, and the other couples were on the two seater sofas next to each other.

"Yeah, Elena wasn't so lucky today. It's just because you missed summer camp. I don't know how you're gonna learn." Caroline states, looking at Elena with a  look on her face.

"I'll work with her. She'll get it." Bonnie buts in on Caroline. "I guess we can put her in the back." Caroline trails off, looking off into the distance.

"You don't really seem like the cheerleading type, Elena." I try not to be mean, so I keep my mouth shut. He doesn't even know her, just cause he's Caroline's new boyfriend and Stefans brother doesn't mean he knows us.

"It's just cause her parents died. She's totally going through a blah phase. She used to be way more fun." Her arms were moving around in Elenas' direction. My eyes widen as she finishes talking. "And I say that with complete sensitivity." Her smile dropping completely.

"I'm sorry, Elena, I know what it's like to lose both your parents. In fact, Stefan and I have watched every single person we've cared about die." I give them both a sympathetic look.

I've only lost my grandparents, but they were assholes. They thought that I was a boy because Tyler was a boy. It didn't help that I had short hair when I was a child. "We don't need to get into that right now." Stefan says, staring intensely at his brother.

I sense ~DrAmaA~ sibling drama is always good. "You know what, you're right, Stef?? The last thing I wanna do is bring her up." I could sense false tone in his voice. He 100% wanted to bring this person up just to annoy his brother. An awkward silence interrupted the conversation immediately.
