Arzaylea follows her friend, Evie, into Mistic Grill and they both goto the bar, sitting down with a mischievous smirk.

"Can we get two shots of  whiskey handsome," Ara asks the bartender.

"ID?"

She turns to Evie and gives her a wicked smirk," of course, just one second."

Arzaylea pretends to turn towards her purse which was to her left and "accidentally" knocks down some stacked shot glasses towards the bartenders side of the counter.

"Oh my God I am so sorry, let me help you pick those up," she leans over the counter with her clevage showing to the poor boy who couldn't help but stare, " gosh I'm so clumsy. This is so embarrassing."

" Ma'am it's fine, I'll just pick these up and get your drinks." He says, completely forgetting to check their ID's.

The girls snickered with each other when the bartender brought them their drinks.

"Aren't you both a little too young to be having alcohol?"

Ara's head snapped to the left to look at the Raven haired stranger that was beside her with an entire bottle of whiskey.

He wasn't looking at her but she could still see that he had blue eyes and he didn't look to old, but no matter how handsome he was she had a bad feeling about the guy.

"Aren't you a little to old to be talking to us?"

He inhaled before turning to look at me with a small smile that showed he was amused.

"Nope, but I'm sure that the guy sitting at the end of the counter is. He has been staring at you both the whole time you've been here."

Both her and Evie look over and see a guy in his 60's wink at them as well as wave.

"Fuck off grandpa!" Evie yells at the man, who then gives them the stink eye.

"I'm Damon Salvatore," he put his hand out to her.

"Arzaylea Gilbert," she gives him her hand, expecting a shake but instead receiving a kiss on her knuckles.

Evie then introduces herself but he doesn't kiss her hand like he did to Ara.

The three talk for hours on end before Arzaylea gets a call from Jeremy.

"Jer I promise I'm on my way home no-"

"There was an accident Ara. I don't know what happened. I don't know where they are and the doctors- the doctors won't tell me anything-" Jeremy was crying over the phone, he sounded frantic.

"Jer-jeremy what are you talking about? Where is Elena? Or mom and dad?"

A deep breathe was taken from Jeremy.

"Mom and dad went to pick up Elena from a party and on their way back the car swerved off the bridge and into the water."

Her heart stopped," I'll be at the hospital in five."

She hung up, grabbed her purse, then walked out ignoring Damon and Evie's questions and concerns.

That day Arzaylea's life changes, but she isn't sure if it was for the best or for the worst. All she knows is that life isn't fair and it most certainly doesn't go as planned.
