Human au pt 1

It finally happening. Y/N couldn't believe it. The full body mirror in the church showed you the beautiful dress you were wearing. It fit perfectly. Your hair was spread across your shoulders in soft curls. Taking a deep breath You turned from your reflection to the man standing in the room.
"Are you ready for this?"
"No, I'm so nervous Stefan. What about you? I know you can't be feeling any better than I am."
"It's hard. You know that but I'm sure it's harder for you. I mean you've been there since childhood."
"It doesn't matter how long Stef. It's how strong it was that matters."
Stefan pulled you into a hug.
"Y/N you look beautiful."
You shook your head no and pulled away from him. Beautiful isn't how you would describe yourself. Compliments didn't matter no matter who told you them. You clenched your eyes shut and remembered the first time you actually believed it. It was when you were about 16 years old and Katherine had just come into the salvatores life and if she was In their life then she was in yours. You and Damon were inseparable. Katherine was helping you get ready for your first dance and was just going all out and made you look the best you ever thought you could look.
"You look beautiful."
"Thank you kat I appreciate all of this. I wouldn't look this good if you hadn't."
Katherine said that she thought I would be beautiful no matter what. She made me feel better about myself but that night she danced with Damon and it broke my heart when I saw him kiss her.
"You guys it's time to get set are you ready?"
"We are ready Caroline I'm gonna go take my seat. Good talk Stefan."
"Y/N wait. He never knew did he?"
"No."
The chapel was beautiful. The bride had really good taste. Although y/n new it was more her best friend that picked out everything then the actual bride herself. It was almost like you were in a trance watching it all unfold but not really watching. It was like seeing something you always wanted to happen, happen but to someone else. Elena walked down the aisle and she looked gorgeous how could he not pick her. Everyone was watching Elena but you were watching him. The guy you've loved since you two were both 13. It was his wedding day.
"Damon Salvatore do you take Elena Gilbert to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do."
That was the only two words that mattered the I do. Everyone clapped and cheered as the new Mrs. Salvatore kissed her husband. You applauded along like a good soldier but inside your heart was being tore to shreads. You officially couldn't love him anymore. For years you've tried to be with someone just anyone to keep you away from your best friend but no one was him you couldn't love anyone like you loved him.
"Can you believe it? I'm married!"
"Nope I can't believe it D."
Your shaky hands reached for the glass of champagne. A toast to your eternal misery. Damon gave you a look.
"What's your problem?"
"Nothing. I'm just gonna go home."
"Home? Y/n we are supposed to be celebrating."
"I don't feel like celebrating right now Salvatore."
You huffed and walked out of the fellowship in the church and made your way towards your car. You had to get out of here before you broke.
"Y/N! Can you tell me what's wrong? Please we are best friends we tell each other everything."
"Not everything. Damon I just I need to go. I'll see you later."
You tried putting your key into the door but your keys fell to the pavement. You bent to picked them up and Damon grabbed your wrist.
"What is this about? Is it because of Elijah."
"Damn it! Damon no. Just leave! I want you to leave me alone. Go back inside and celebrate your marriage!"
"Y/n...if you would just tell me-"
Without thought you punched your hand straight into the car window. Glass was stuck inside your knuckles but you barley noticed the pain you felt I'm your hand could never compare to the pain in your heart at that moment. Damon went to reach for your hand and you pulled it away quickly.
"D-don't touch me."
Without a thought you unlocked the door and sped off ignoring the blood oozing out of your hand and leaving Damon dumbfounded in the parking lot. He hadn't ever seen you act that way before.
"Damon Elena is looking for you."
"Oh uh Stefan do you know what's wrong with y/n?"
"Why?"
"She just punched through her car window and didn't even celebrate with me. I don't understand."
"You really didn't know did you?"
"Know what brother? I'm confused?"
"She has been in love with you since we were kids."
"That's not possible."
"It is and it's true. You might want to just leave her alone for awhile Damon."
"I can't she is my best friend."
"Not anymore."
You were so hurt and were so confused on how he never noticed that you loved him. When you sat your keys down on the table by you door to you home you finally began to feel the pain in your hand and even moving it slightly you could feel the shards of glass that were stuck in it. It hurt but you didn't care anymore.
"Y/n I didn't expect you home so soon."
"I didn't feel like celebrating anymore. What are you doing here Elijah? Shouldn't you be with Nik?"
"We got news of Damon's wedding and I had to check up on you."
"I'm fine."
His eyes roamed over your face and down your body then stopped instantly on your bleeding hand. His eyes narrowed and he gently picked up your hand and inspected the damage.
"Does it hurt?"
"A little but I'm sure my car window feels a lot worse."
You laughed at your joke that wasn't even funny but it just felt fake and eventually you broke into tears and just let out a loud sob.
"Why wasn't I the one Elijah? Is there.....is there something wrong with me?"
He pulled you into his chest and you buried your face into his neck and soaked his expensive suit with your tears. Elijah was always kind to you. He always was from the moment you met him and klaus. Even though you loved Damon and always had and him and Elijah were on opposite ends of a business deal you always considered Elijah a close friend. Klaus too. In fact you were close with all the mikealson siblings.
"I'm a horrible friend. I should have just stayed and celebrated with him. I should be ecstatic that he is happy. And I am. But I'm not."
"You're not a bad friend. You just looked out for yourself for once. There is nothing wrong with that! You suffered through their entire relationship and played your role as his best friend Y/N. Let's get your hand cleaned up."
Elijah led you into the bathroom and sat you up on the counter. Quickly but carefully he picked the glass from your hand. Having stayed at your house countless time before he made his way under the sink straight to the first aid kit you kept stashed away under the sink. He took your hand and placed some liquid bandage over some of the deeper cuts and then used gauze and ace bandage to repair the rest and hold your hand together. Your tears were still failing softly and you were staring at your repaired hand and wondering how you were ever going to repair your heart. How were you going to get over Damon and still see him and Elena everyday?
"Move in with me."
"What?"
Your eyes widened surprised at his words.
"My siblings wouldn't mind and I want you to come with me. You would just suffer here. Please come, to New Orleans with me."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course. I hate to see you so upset my love."
His calloused fingers wiped the tears from your face and you found yourself nodding your head.
"Okay, but I have to ask klaus if he is okay with it first."
"He won't mind at all but if you need some reassurance then go right ahead."
The lock screen on your phone was a picture of you and Damon as kids and your heart kind of plummeted but you had to ignore it. Quickly you dialed Klaus's phone number and he answered in the second ring.
"Love is something wrong?"
"I wanted to ask you something."
"Have you been crying?"
"Klaus can I move in with you? Elijah said it would help me get over Damon and I didn't want to just go with him unless you were okay with it."
"Of course you can Y/N you know I love you and so does my wife and daughter. You are always welcome here."
"Thank you klaus. I love you too."
You hung up and smiled at Elijah the first real smile you had all day. Your phone dinged and you saw a message to a group chat that held all your friends in mystic falls Damon and Elena just left for there honeymoon. He took the phone from you and shoved you towards your bedroom.
"Better start packing. I'm sure klaus and Hayley are dying to see you."
A new start.
