Alex's P.O.V

*_Flashback (1858, Salvatore estate)_*

I was putting my dress on for mother's funeral as Damon walked in. I looked at him through the mirror. "Where's your tie?" I asked him. "Father will kill you if you don't wear one."

"Stefan took dad's, so I gave him mine." Damon said and I nodded. I tried to reach my corset strings, but I couldn't. I got more frustrated as I kept trying and Damon grabbed my hands. I turned to him and started to cry.

"I can't do this, Day. I can't go." I said and Damon pushed me off of him, so he could look at me.

"Alexandria, listen to me." Damon said and I looked at him. "I know mother's death is hurting you the most out of all of us, even father. But you would regret it if you didn't go."

"How are you not crying?" I asked him and he sighed.

"Because someone has to help you and Stefan." Damon said and turned me around. "Now come on, let's fix you dress and get this day over with." He then proceed to fix my corset strings.

"Father said we can not cry. Which I don't think is possible for me. I miss her too much." I said and turned back around to Damon once he finished fixing my dress.

"You, Alexandria, are allowed to cry and if father says other wise, I shall defend you." Damon said and I smiled. We walked out of my room and downstairs to leave for the funeral.

I was zipping up my dress, but the dress zipper got stuck and I sighed (Her Dress ^^)

I was zipping up my dress, but the dress zipper got stuck and I sighed (Her Dress ^^). "Come on." I said and tried again. I felt someone move my hands away and I looked through the mirror to see Damon. He fixed the zipper and zipped it up for me.

"I miss her." I said to him when I turned around. He looked down and I noticed he didn't have a tie on, but he did have a suit. "Where's your tie?" I asked and he laughed.

"Stefan needed it, so I gave it to him." Damon said and I smiled. Then he pulled out his tie, from his back pocket, and walked over to my mirror to put it on.

"Guessing you're thinking about that day too?" I asked him and he nodded. "Yeah, well how's the speech going?"

"Great." He said and I rolled my eyes.

"Damon, you said that when it was mom's funeral, and you ended up never giving the speech at all." I said to him.

"Caroline and Stefan kissed."

"What?!" I yelled at him.

"They kissed, but it won't work." Damon said and I hit his shoulder.

"It will. Now get out and go write your speech." I said and he left the room with his hands raised up. Shawn started to cry as I walked over to him. I picked him up and he wrapped his arms around me as I rubbed his back. I looked into the mirror and sighed.
