Authors note at the end!!!

Roxy's POV

Waking up the next morning I couldn't help the feeling of dread inside of me, sitting up and swinging my legs over to hang off the bed I sighed looking at the floor, I didn't know what it was but I didn't want to go back to that godforsaken town, not with all the memories that it held. Not only that but Elijah was coming with me, I feel like it would have been easier to go home by myself but Elijah had to come.

I hopped out of bed getting dressed in a pair of shorts with a large sweater, it was only 5:30 in the morning so I was pretty tired and hating that I was leaving this early, plus Elijah had insisted that he would drive us, even though I had come here by train and cab but Elijah doesn't work that way I guess.

I stretched, grabbing my packed bag and walked out into the courtyard finding Elijah waiting by the door, he was dressed casually, for him at least, a pair of black jeans with a white button-up and a navy blue vest. Damn him for being this good looking this early in the morning. He turned to me giving me a small smile, I had a pout on my face walking past him to the car before putting my bag in the truck and going to sit in shotgun.

I looked over seeing Elijah talking to my brother about something, sam looked over catching my eyes sending me a smile before saying one last thing to Elijah before going back into the compound. Elijah came out and got into the driver's side, starting the car and driving off. I didn't mind driving since the train ride took forever, but the driver would still be a little long. 

My home town is Cumberland in Maryland, it's almost a 16-hour drive but it was over a day train ride. I felt a little bad that Elijah would be driving that long but he was pretty adamant that he would be doing all the driving. I lend back into the chair letting out a breath and closing my eyes, I was pretty tired so maybe a small nap wouldn't hurt.

============================

I woke up a little later to the car stopped, opening my eyes I yawned and looked around Elijah was not in the car but I could see him coming back from a gas station, I sat up more, groaning lightly, damn I slept funny on my neck. He got back into the car, I noticed that it was bright out now, looking at the clock in the car I saw it was now 9:45 am, so I had been asleep for about 4 hours, not too bad. I looked back over at Elijah as he handed me a plastic bag, I got confused but took it as he started the car again.

"I had guessed that you would be hungry when you woke up, it may not be the best breakfast," I looked in the bag finding a few things, I smiled taking out the wrap.

"Thank you," I smiled at him before we drove off again, I was annoyed at him for not letting go alone but maybe it won't be that bad of a thing that Elijah came.

===========================

After another 13 hours, we had made it to Cumberland, I was tired once again since we had to stop a few time along the way it was about 11 at  night, I could tell that Elijah was tired as well, which wasn't surprising but it was since vampires didn't really need sleep, I looked over the town that had so many bad memories for me and groaned. Elijah looked at me out of the corner of his eye, I looked ahead spotting the shop, "Stop at that shop up there," 

He listens without question stopping in front of my 'fathers' shop, I got out taking my keys out of my purse, which I had kept in the front with me, unlocking the door before looking back at Elijah motioning for him to follow me. I stepped inside looking around, I heard Elijah come in behind me, "Roxane," 

I ignore him for a moment walking to the stairwell, going up and unlocking the door, stepping inside. I looked around, dust was everywhere as it hadn't been touch in about a year, walking around seeing photos of fake happiness and fake love. I picked up a photo, it was of my 'family' it was the few times my mother was home, I was about 6 I think, Sam would have been 12, both of us held large smiles as we stood with our 'parents', I put the photo back down, letting out another sigh.

"Welcome home me,"

Hey guys! So I know it has been forever since I last updated a chapter and I'm sorry!!!! I just lost like all of my inspiration for this story, but recently have started to talk to a new friend and she recommended that I try rewatching the series and it has worked!

Sadly it won't be updated at much as I use to because at the moment I was working full time and then I start Uni in the fall not leaving me with much time.

But I will try to upload as much as I can!

Thanks for being patient guys!
