It's Time To Wake Up, Elena

Chapter 16

Damon's POV

Elena and Caroline are at the chapel now setting up, Stefan like I said is just sitting around the house.

"Hey, Stef." I sat across from him.

"What?" He looked up.

"What's with the attitude, bro?" I stared at him.

"Your only nice to me when you need a favor, what's up?" He tilted his head.

"How did you- you know- propose to Blondie? I need advice, cause I'm clueless." I never really came to Stefan for advice before.

"You want advice? From me? I've been waiting for this day." He laughed, "So what are you clueless about?"

"I want this to be perfect for Elena, but I don't know how to make it perfect." I admitted.

"Well, think of Elena. Who is Elena? What kind of person is Elena? Think all things Elena." He told me.

"What?" I was completely lost.

"Tell me. Who. Is. Elena. Gilbert."

I have no clue where he was going with this, but I played along. "Elena Gilbert. She's this beautiful, selfless, loving person. And I'm madly in love with her."

"Tell me more. Personal stuff? Family? You?" He said.

"Elena lost her parents too soon, from a car crash off Wickery Bridge. It was just Jeremy, Jenna, and her. Until we came along. Elena suffered so much because of her ancestors. She was sacrificed, killed, tortured, and it destroyed her. But Elena, Elena is the strongest person I've ever met, vampire or not. She survived every single thing that she crossed pasts with. Even when she was run off Wickery Bridge and died..." I trailed off. "I know what I'm gonna do. Thanks." I patted Stefan's shoulder and walked upstairs, he looked even more confused than ever. I know how I'm going to propose...

Elena's POV

Care and I are setting up flowers, chairs, tables, etc. for her wedding in 2 days. I think I've finally gotten used to my two best friends getting married. It's still weird though.

"How's this look?" Care pointed to a table with white roses as the center piece.

"Care, everything looks amazing. You have nothing to worry about." I laughed. She nodded and walked to another table.

"How about this one?" She pointed to a different table, this time with Daisies.

"Care."

"You're right." She walked out the chapel to grab more stuff.

Care and I were about done with setting up, she took car of who to invite of course. Stefan is having Damon as his best man, and me as Care's Maid of Honor, they decided to not have any other groomsmen or bridesmaids. And Care said she has a surprise for after the wedding, this could be a good or bad thing, who knows with Caroline these days.

About an hour or two has past, everything was Caroline approved, and we headed back home. We got back at the house at around 8pm. I use to think that time went back so slow, but now...time's flying. Is that bad since I'm human? I don't know. Stefan's cooking Italian in the kitchen and Damon is upstairs, he's been secretive lately, or maybe I've lost it.

"Chef. Stefan." I laughed, he turned around and smiled.

"I realized we all haven't had a nice meal all together in 65 years, thanks to Elena." He joked.

Damon came running downstairs, I seriously think that every since Damon became a human he's been in a really good mood.

"Leave my Elena alone." He put his arm around me. I started laughing, so did Stefan.

We had dinner and talked more about Caroline and Stefan's wedding. Damon and Stefan shared some looks across the table, Stefan would look at Damon as if he was trying to figure something out and Damon would just smile and look at me. But whatever.
