Reminiscing
No ones pov
Caroline, Damon, Bonnie, Jermey, Alaric, and Matt were all sitting at a booth in the grill waiting for Elena and Katherine. "Ugh when are they gonna get here? I'm so hungry." Caroline complained and everyone nodded in agreement. All of a sudden Bonnie's phone rang.
"Hello?" Bonnie asked, "Hey Bon, its Elena. I don't think kath and I are gonna make it tonight. I'm feeling under the weather." Elena admitted and Bonnie rolled her eyes knowing it was an excuse for Elena and Katherine to have sex.
"Okay, well we're gonna miss you all. Love you be safe." Bonnie said as she hung up. Everyone looked at her expectingly, "They're not gonna make it tonight." Bonnie said and everyone groaned.
"So we waited for nothing?" Alaric asked and Bonnie shrugged. "Guess so." She answered as Caroline smiled. "Guess it's just all of us tonight. Still sad Stefan couldn't make it." She said pouting slightly.
"Well let's eat and have a good night." Matt said and everyone smiled. After they ordered food they all sat at the table waiting. "What do you think Elena and Katherine are doing right now?" Caroline asked and everyone stared at her.
"Probably getting it on." Damon said bluntly and everyone laughed. "True." Jermey said and Alaric rolled his eyes, "That's like my niece. I don't want to picture her "getting it on" with Katherine." He said and everyone laughed.
"But seriously though, I still can't believe Elena ended up with Katherine." Bonnie admitted and everyone nodded. "It was very, unexpected, but i actually think there good for each other." Caroline admitted.
"Honestly I do too." Jermey said truthfully. "Katherine has changed so much as a person since they got together." Matt commented and everyone nodded. "She's not a self deprived bitch anymore." Damon said bluntly and everyone rolled their eyes at him.
Everyone knew it was still hard for Damon, since Elena basically chose Katherine over him. But he's never done anything to get in between their relationship, well not recently at least.
"Like do you guys remember that time Katherine agree'd to help me move into my new house?" Caroline asked and everyone nodded.
(Flashback)
"So where the hell do you want these boxes?" Katherine asked as she helped Caroline carry boxes into her new home. "Uh just set them on the floor wherever." Caroline said and Katherine nodded as she set the boxes that she was holding down.
"Thanks again for helping me. Everyone kind of got busy last minute." Caroline said as they walked to the moving truck. "No problem blondie, I was bored anyways." Katherine said as Caroline smiled and they grabbed more boxes.
"You know for being an unstable vampire you sure do have a lot of shit." Katherine said bluntly causing Caroline to laugh. "Well I do try to be a little normal." Caroline admitted as they set more boxes down. "Normals boring." Katherine admitted and Caroline laughed again.
"Yeah, I guess so." Caroline said as they walked back outside. "You uh, need help unpacking?" Katherine asked awkwardly and Caroline smiled at her as they grabbed the last couple boxes. "Only if you want." Caroline said and Katherine shrugged.
"Happy to be at your service." Katherine said and Caroline laughed.
After they put the last boxes in the house they sat on the floor unpacking. "So I've been dying to know, and don't get mad at me for asking okay?" Katherine said and Caroline gave her a look of uncertainty. "Okay? What's up?" Caroline asked.
"What was having sex with Klaus like?" Katherine asked bluntly and Caroline's mouth practically gaped open. "Katherine!" Caroline practically shrieked and Katherine laughed. "What? It's just a question!" Katherine said back and Caroline rolled her eyes.
"It was, uh, very, erm, uncomfortable." Caroline said awkwardly and Katherine furrowed her eyebrows. "It was in the woods." Caroline added and Katherine's eyes widened. "Really? It was in the woods? You know for a guy as old as him, I thought he'd be more romantic." Katherine said and Caroline laughed.
"Well it was kind of in the heat of the moment." Caroline admitted and Katherine shrugged. "Hey, I don't judge. When you're in the mood you're in the mood." Katherine said bluntly and Caroline shook her head and laughed.
"Okay so now that you know about my sexual experience with Klaus, I need to know, what's sex with Elena like?" Caroline asked and Katherine gasped. "Caroline!" She said as she blushed and Caroline giggled. "Come on, it's just a question." Caroline said mocking Katherine's tone from earlier causing Katherine to glare at her playfully.
"It's good. Really good. Amazing actually." Katherine admitted and Caroline laughed, "I'm gonna be completely honest with you, I did not ever think you and Elena would get together." Caroline admitted and Katherine smiled slightly.
"Me either. But I'm happy, really happy." Katherine said causing Caroline to smile at her, "I'm glad." Caroline said softly.

"Oh my god! And that time Katherine comforted me!" Matt said and everyone nodded.
(Flashback)
Matt was sitting in the bar alone, getting wasted thinking about everything. "What's wrong Matty Blue Blue?" A voice asked snapping him out of his thoughts. He turned around to see Katherine standing behind him.
"Katherine?" He asked in a confused tone, "You're getting good at telling the difference between Elena and I." She joked as she sat by him. "You're the only one who calls me "Matty Blue Blue"." He said and she shrugged. "And you're the only one who wears stilettos everywhere." He added and she laughed.
"Yeah well, you got me there." She said as she grabbed the bottle he was drinking from and took a sip. "Now tell me, what's got you all down?" She asked and he shrugged. "Does it matter?" He asked as he took the bottle from her and drank.
"Yeah, matters to me." She said and he furrowed his eyebrows. "Why?" He asked and she shrugged, "Cause I care about you." She admitted and he stared at her for awhile. "I don't have anyone anymore." He said after awhile.
Katherine then furrowed her eyebrows at him, "What do you mean? Of course you do Matt, you have a bunch of people who love and care about you." Katherine said comfortingly and he sighed. "I know that, but I mean, I don't have anyone anymore. My moms dead, my sisters dead, my dad's never been around. I know everyone's lost their families too, but it still hurts me." He admitted as he stared at the bottle that was in his hand.
Katherine didn't say anything for a good five minutes, she didn't know what to say. She's never really comforted anyone before, well she's never actually been good at it. "I know you probably don't understand but-" He started to say but she cut him off, "No, I get it." She said but he still stared at the bottle.
"I know I'm not good at telling people genuine things, but I can tell you one thing, from experience; it does not get any easier." Katherine said as she took the bottle out of his hands. Matt still didn't look up at her. "The pain you feel, it's always gonna be there." Katherine said bluntly.
"Well thanks, that makes me feel better." Matt said and she rolled her eyes, "Let me finish." She said and he stayed silent. "Sometimes you're gonna get angry, sometimes you're gonna get sad, sometimes it'll make you feel numb, and sometimes it'll make you question everything." She said softly. "But a lot of the time it's just gonna hurt. But you, no matter how you feel, just gotta keep going. You gotta keep walking till you find that light at the end of the tunnel, cause I promise you there's a light Matt. Not everything's dark, and it will be okay. But for now, you just gotta keep going." Katherine added sincerely and Matt finally looked up at her.
"How do you know there's a light waiting for me Katherine?" He asked and she shrugged. "Because I felt the exact way you do for five hundred years. Then I met Elena and everything changed." She said smiling softly at him. "So cheer up Matty Blue, it'll be okay. And no matter what, you have me." She said softly as she put her arm around him.
(End of flashback)
"That was totally something nobody really expected out of her." Jermey said and everyone nodded in agreement. "Remember that time she saved my life?" Bonnie asked bluntly.
(Flashback)
"Ah, Bonnie Bennett. Just the person I was waiting for." An older woman said as she sat in the Salvatore's living room. "Who the hell are you?" Bonnie asked uncertainly. "I was a friend of your mothers." She said as she stood up.
"M-My mothers?" Bonnie asked and the lady laughed bitterly as she started inching closer towards Bonnie. "You're mother was my best friend." She said and Bonnie started to relax a little. "You're mother was one of the kindest people I've ever met." She added and Bonnie only stared at the woman.
"Till she took something from me; something that meant a lot to me." The lady said bitterly. "W-What did she take?" Bonnie asked uncertainly. "My son." The lady answered as she started walking closer to her.
"So now, I'm here to take something that means everything to her." The lady admitted smiling deviously at Bonnie. "Y-You're h-here to kill me?" Bonnie asked and the lady smiled. "You are a lot smarter than your mothe was." The older woman said as she grabbed Bonnie's neck.
Bonnie then kicked the older woman and she let go, Bonnie then hit her in the face. "I always win little girl." The older woman said as she punched Bonnie and pinned her down.
Out of nowhere the witch fell off of Bonnie, it took awhile for Bonnie to realize Katherine was standing over her holding the woman's heart. "No, actually, I always win." Katherine said as she dropped her heart on the floor.
"K-Katherine?" Bonnie asked out of breath. "Y-You killed h-her." Bonnie said as she stood up and stared at the dead body that was in the living room. "She was gonna kill you." Katherine said and Bonnie stared at her uncertainly.
"Y-You saved my life. Why?" Bonnie asked and Katherine rolled her eyes, "So I don't get a "thank you for saving my ass Katherine", I get a "why'd you save my life?"." Katherine said and Bonnie stared at her for awhile.
Bonnie finally snapped back into reality after two minutes. "Thank you, for saving my ass." Bonnie said softly and Katherine shrugged. "No problem Bon-Bon. Now help me get rid of this body." Katherine said bluntly.
(End of flashback)
"That story still surprises me every time." Damon admitted and everyone nodded. "Yeah, never in a gazillion years would I ever think of Katherine saving Bonnie." Alaric said. "Well I did, and I'd do it again, cause I'm bad ass." A familiar voice said as they all looked over to see Katherine and Elena.
"We thought you guys couldn't make it." Caroline said as Katherine shrugged. "We were bored." She admitted bluntly as they sat down. "What? Was it just a quickie?" Damon asked and Elena rolled her eyes.
"So what were you guys doing?" Elena asked curiously, "Reminiscing on how much Katherine's changed." Matt said bluntly and Katherine scoffed. "I have not changed. I'm still the same bitch I've always been." She said and everyone shot her a look.
"That's so not true! Do you remember the time you compelled my Chem teacher to pass me." Jermey said.
(Flashback)
Jermey was sitting anxiously across from his teacher, waiting for Elena to show up. He's failing Chemistry so his teacher called Elena in for a parent teacher conference.
"I'm here let's get this over with." Katherine said entering the class room as she sat down next to Jermey. Jermey furrowed his eyebrows and Katherine gave him a look. "Elena, it's nice to see you." Mr. Hills said as he shook Katherine's hand. "Nice to see you too." She said politely doing her best Elena impression.
"So what's the reason I'm here?" Katherine asked and the older man cleared his throat. "Well Jermey seems to be having some problems in class." He said and Katherine furrowed her eyebrows. "Define "problems"." She said and he sighed.
He walked over to his desk and bent down to grab some papers. "What are you doing here?" Jermey whispered, "Elena got caught up in some Bonnie and Caroline problems, so shut up and go along with it." Katherine whispered back as Mr. Hills walked back over to them and sat down.
He then set a bunch of papers in front of Katherine. "What am I looking at?" She asked and he sighed. "Jermey's test scores. He's failed every quarter." He said and Katherine looked at him.
"Well he's clearly struggling, so just help him out." Katherine said bluntly, "I've tried. But he's always late to class, he never shows up after school." The older man said and Katherine stared at Jermey. Jermey shrugged and Katherine rolled her eyes, "So what do we do?" Katherine asked.
"Honestly, it's the fourth quarter there's really nothing we can do. He's gonna flunk, he won't be able to graduate." Mr. Hills said as he stood up to put the papers away. "Elena's gonna be so upast if you don't graduate on time Jermey." Katherine whispered and groaned.
"I'm sorry! I just really hate this class." Jermey admitted in a whisper. Katherine looked at the man who was struggling to close his drawer. "I can see why." She mumbled as she stood up. Jermey stared at her uncertainly as she walked up the older man.
He stared into her eyes and before he could say anything Katherine was compelling him. "I think you should change all of Jermey's passed grades into an "A". He's an exemplary student and he will graduate on time." Katherine said and the man nodded.
"Okay, we're done here let's go." Katherine said as she walked out and Jermey quickly followed. "Any other teachers you want me to compel?" She asked and he shook his head. "Good." She said as they walked off.
(End of flashback)
"You compelled Jermey's way into graduating?!" Elena practically shrieked. "Hey, at least he graduated right?" Katherine asked and everyone laughed, except for Elena who was glaring at her.
"Aw don't be mad, it was out of the goodness of her heart." Matt said teasingly and Katherine glared at him. "There is no goodness in my heart!" She said defensively. "That time you helped me mourn over Isabel says otherwise." Alaric said and Katherine rolled her eyes.
(Flashback)
Alaric sat on his couch staring at his flask. He let a few tears fall out of his eyes then blinked them away. "You okay?" Katherine asked out of nowhere and he jumped. He looked up to see Katherine sitting next to him.
"God you really need to stop doing that." He said and she shrugged. "What's wrong pops?" She asked and he sighed. "I uh, was just thinking." He said bluntly as he took another drink.
"About?" She asked and he sighed looking down at his flask again. "Isabel. How great my life would be if she were in it still." He admitted and she sighed. "You miss her?" She asked and he nodded, "Everyday." He admitted.
"You want my honest opinion? No sugar coat?" She asked and he nodded, "The Isabel you were in love with, wasn't real." She said bluntly and he looked up at her. "The Isabel you fell in love with was someone she pretended to be, a fictional character she created." She added and he looked back down.
"You are a great guy Alaric, and she was a bitch in all honesty. She had this perfect guy, who was in love with her, and she blew it. All because she wanted to be something she couldn't handle being." Katherine said sincerely and he looked up at her with tears in his eyes.
"Why? Why wasn't she happy with me?" He asked and she looked down. "Because some people just aren't Alaric. Some people just never think it's enough. They could have love, money, a family, and at the end of the day they'll still want more. Alaric I promise you you're gonna find a woman one day, who is happy, and you are in love with. You're gonna start a family, you're gonna be happy, and you'll realize why everything with Isabel didn't work out." Katherine said as she grabbed Alarics hand.
"You are a lot nicer than everyone says you are." He admitted as she shrugged. "Well, not really." She admitted bluntly.
(End of flashback)
"Aw kath! That really happened?" Elena asked smiling and Katherine groaned. "I am never doing anything nice for you people again." She said and they all gave her a look. "Oh c'mon you know you love us." Matt teased.
"Yeah. Sadly." Katherine said as she stole one of Jermey's fries.
