Harley's pov

"Good morning sleeping beauty" I opened my eyes and looked around slowly. I was in Damon's bedroom lying on his bed. "Damon?" He smiled at me and opened his arms. I ran into his arms and he spun me around. "How am I here?" He smirked at me "well ugh perhaps the one good deed you did saved your life" I smiled at him before hopping off of him.

"I went to see Elena" he grimaced "well you ugh cant. Not yet at least" I cocked my head to the side "why not?" "Well I brought you back but you're a... Harley you're a vampire" I looked around and took in my surroundings. "Klaus killed me" Damon nodded "yeah and I saved you, anyways I've gotta go apologize to your sister you just stay here and hide from the sun ok? Don't die".

"Hide from the sun, don't die, stay here anything else?" Damon walked over to me and kissed my forehead "I'll try to bring Elena here tonight... that's if she forgives me" I smiled at him and felt a burning sensation in my throat. I coughed uncomfortably and Damon sighed "don't worry I'll be back with something for you to drink" I nodded and he walked out his room.

I was currently curled up in a ball on the living room floor awaiting for Damon's return. My throat was on fire I felt like I needed to crawl out of my own skin. Just then the front door opened and Damon walked in to get a glass of bourbon.

"Why are you on the floor?" I looked up at him and groaned "your room was too bright" he grimaced and then opened the curtains. I scurried away from the light "Damon what the hell" my breathing was getting heavier and I felt like I was dying all over again.

I started smelling fire and then flesh, burning flesh. "Damon?" There was a loud thud "Get off of me" there was more slamming about but I curled up and stayed hidden in the shadows. "Stefan?" I called out hoping for a response.

"Harley are you ok?" He appeared next to me "wow you look awful" I laughed humorlessly and he picked me up bridal style. "Stefan am I going to die?" He laid me down in his bed "no Harley you won't, Damon is just going through things right now that's all" "I feel so dry though" Stefan walked back over to me and put something in my mouth.

"It's a blood bag, no need to kill people though I know you love to do that" I sucked the bag dry and instantly felt refreshed. "Better?" I nodded happily "thanks Stefan, does this mean I can see Elena now?" He sighed and looked away "Elena doesn't know you're alive" "anyways I'll be back I've gotta call Alaric" I nodded and he walked away.

Elena's pov
Jeremy, Jenna, and I walked into the community park holding blankets. "You brought us to see a girl movie?" Jeremy said "look we had to get out of the house ok? This is our three hour distraction from reality" Jer looked at me annoyed "really that's what we're doing? We're just going to pretend like our lives aren't screwed?" He clapped at me "not to mention vampires are real!" Jenna said kind of loudly so I gave her a look. "Guys we need to do this ok?" Jeremy towered over me "our sister is dead! She was murdered ok? Don't you care?" I turned away from him and started unfolding the blanket and Jenna helped me.

"Breathe, eat, sleep, wake up and do it all over again until one day it's just not as hard anymore" I sat on the blanket and looked away from my little family. "Hey! There you guys are!" A perky voice said as she came over to us. "Hey care" Caroline dropped two picnic baskets down and smiled "who's hungry?" "Do we have to do this?" Jeremy said complaining once again.

"Yes we are doing this! If not for us for Harley, she always loved the movie festival it was always her favorite thing. Jer we made it through the war! Look I understand you all went through hell I mean my mom knows I'm a vampire so basically it's like Atlanta has burned and yet in spite of everything we're still here!"
