you're just a young girl, but grief doesn't care. it takes over your life with little warning ( just the accompaniment of screeching tires ). it's a selfish friend. it won't settle for second best. so, it teams up with death until it's all you have left.
❛ hey, it’s going to be okay it’s only one day out of 365. ❜ her tone as soft as a whisper, while her maternal side takes over, pulling her best friend in for one of her famous bear hugs. she wanted bonnie to know that she was there for her, and always would be till the day she died. there was no way she would let bonnie go through anything alone. no matter how bad the days would get, they’d always have each other. ❛ i’m going to make sure tonight is a good, even very good night then.
❜
❛ as your best friend, i’m obligated to tell you when you’re not funny. ❜ even as she says it, she can’t stop laughing like a KID. her eyes narrow slightly in a teasing manner before she moves to the cabinets, ❛ you can’t just sit and watch me make them this time. if i’m going down in history as maker of the worst brownies in the world, you’re going down with me. ❜
❛ fine, i’ll give you that ! ❜ rounds of childlike laughter flow from her lips as she moves to and hops up onto the counter ( perfectly content with watching but, of course, bonnie knew her all too well ), ❛ it’s like you can read my mind, and don’t worry. when we’re done everyone is going to call you the best brownie maker in the world ! ❜ elena grins as she hops back off the counter and opts to pull a dish to mix all the ingredients in and another dish for the oven from the lower cabinest out instead, and sets both dishes on the counter. ❛ um, let see we’ll need eggs…what else? ❜
❛ only a LITTLE. ❜ she grins when she says it, affection obvious in her tone. talking about the past always made her feel more at ease than anything else. when she was having a bad day, a trip down memory lane was always a cure. even if her childhood had some bad memories, it also had some great ones like the one that elena brought up. it seems like a lifetime ago that they were all young & happy – not plagued with the problems of mystic falls. ❛ you’re going to be a serious doctor with serious patients. and he is proud of you, elena. ❜
❛ it feels like a long time ago now. ❜ she sighs thinking back to the long lost innocence of their youth, and feeling rather nostalgic about what they’ve all lost. a part of her will always ache for those fishing trips with her dad, the play dates at the park with her best friends, and the gossiping over the cutest boys in their grade at their slumber parties. it all feels like a distant memory to her now. she’s all grown up, they’re all grown up, and now they’ve got responsibilities and have to face reality. ❛ i really hope so, and i used to think he would be. but now i feel like i don’t even know him. anyway, i’m dying to know what lucky career path with be pursued by bonnie bennett? ❜
❝ we’re going to find the CUTEST dress for you to wear to the dance. he won’t be able to take his eyes off of you ! the only question left is which one we should do first: go dress shopping or play candy land ? ❞
little sierra, you are such an amazing elena. i have read so many of your threads and i can hear her voice in each one. i love your writing and your ability to bring elena to life in the ways that the writers couldn't. ♥
shelby !!! i’m crying jdka;f this is exactly what I needed to hear right now. this is everything I hope to accomplish in my writing, and coming from you this means so much and just makes me grin like the chesire cat fjdksal;f
perhaps she’s feeling a bit sentimental today, especially since she has the biggest decision of her life to make. this decision will affect her for the rest of her life, and perhaps it is one that was decided upon a long time ago.
‘ remember when we used to play doctor when we were younger ? ‘
