You are the light, I follow

[Elena Gilbert]

They all needed a break. All of Elena's family and friends. Life was getting hectic and a lot was getting in the way. Elena was sick of Katherine's presence and the way Stefan and Damon acted with her around. They were worried about what she had up her sleeves and to be honest, Elena was also. But she wouldn't let it control her life. Mystic Falls was her town. If she wanted to storm in and stir up trouble, so be it, but she wouldn't win this one. She claims to have come back for Stefan and that worried Elena. Elena knew that the relationship her and Stefan had was good and pure and could survive this but what girlfriend likes their boyfriends ex coming into town trying to claim him? Not Elena. That's for sure. Elena thought with all the unnecessary drama going on that it would be nice to get everyone together for a little party and just to let go.

No bad spirits were allowed or to be spoken of. She made that clear when she texted everyone. Tonight was about letting go and seeing friends you don't always have the chance to see or catch up with. Elena texted Caroline, Damon, Stefan, Tyler, and told Jeremy about it. She also told Alaric and Jenna since they practically lived here and told them not to be scared to come say hey. Elena had Stefan make a much needed alcohol run. She wasn't of age but he could easily get what he wanted using compulsion. She made sure they had plenty of booze..part of letting go? Alcohol. And lots of it. She was excited about tonight. She ran out and got snacks for everyone and appetizer such dishes. Her mom always made sure Elena knew how to be a good host. She wouldn't approve of the alcohol and under-age drinking, but she would if she felt the stress Elena was under. No body was there yet and Elena looked at the shot glasses she had out for everyone and the solo cups. She looked for a good minute and then shrugged as she poured herself a couple shots and then choked them down. No reason she couldn't have a good head start on everyone.

Elena made herself a mixed drink in the red solo cup and picked it up, bringing it to her lips as she tried it. She had some fun games they could all play like they did when they were little. Except now they were more fun under the influence. Elena heard the doorbell and walked to the door keeping it simple in small jean shorts and a black tank-top. Elena opened the door with a bright smile.

[Stefan Salvatore]

As Stefan drove down to Elena's, his eyes clouded as his mind raced. What was he going to do now that Katherine was back? She hadn't made a move yet, but it would only be a matter of time before she did. And they had to be ready for her. They had to get strong. Well, Damon would have no problem getting ready to fight her, he always drank human blood, no matter the source, but him...he was the weak link. No! He wasn't going to think like that! He was just going to go to this party and have fun. That's why Elena had thrown it in the first place, and that's what he was going to do: have fun.

When he finally got to the residence, he stopped the car and turned off the engine, and pocketed his keys. Then, he walked up to the door and rang the doorbell, which was opened to reveal Elena who greeted him with a smile.
"Hey," he said, walking inside and going to give her a quick kiss on the lips. He then walked into the house further to find that the party was in full swing and a lot of people were already drinking. Which was to be expected, because you know, high school party. And to be honest, he could use a drink. With that, he headed towards the table where the refreshments were, grabbed a cup, poured a drink and quickly downed it before pouring himself another. This time however, he only sipped it. Yeah, he needed the alcohol, but he wasn't looking to get drunk. Well, at least...not yet...Great. I haven't been here two seconds and I'm planning on getting drunk, he thought to himself. Well, running your psycho of an ex could do that to a guy. He was surprised that Damon hadn't been hitting the bottle himself. But then again, maybe he was just hiding it better..

OOC
I know it's short, but I'll make 'em longer as we get more people in the thread.

[Angelina Wilde]

Angelina carried the phone in her hand. She toyed with it as she stared up at the house. From the lights and music, definite party. Man, she missed parties. Most likely highschool. She bit her lip nervously before she walked to the front door. The phone grasped tightly in her hand.

She then raised her fist to the door, almost covered by the large black sweater that covered her body and almost her whole hand. Her fist gave swift knocks to the door, 3 exactly. She placed her empty hand in her skinny jean pocket and tapped her converse clad foot. Maybe this was a bad idea?

No! it wasn't......but maybe she should've rang a doorbell or something. No one could probably hear over the noise. Okay, Angelina, deep breaths. Stop being so worried. What's the worst that could happen? The girl was there. She saw her open the door for the first guess it seemed. It must have been kinda empty. Right?

[Leila Peterson]

Leila was going to make impress, like usually, and come a bit late. She didn't planned this before, actually, it was a case that she was late, but she could use it, couldn't she? She was staying outside for a while, looking at home. She didn't knew if she really should to come here. Probably, the people inside the house was a friends and they didn't need her here. She will only disturb.

But the most confident part of her personality told her to stop thinking like that. She could have fun. And even if she's not the most famous girl in this town, or something, she could try to change that. Alcohol was waiting for her. It could be fun. And a party was always the opportunity to meet a few new people. She wasn't the most easy-going person on this world but maybe it won't be a big problem. When she was drunk she was getting outgoing.

She stayed at the door and she saw there an another girl, who was waiting for the host to open. She decided not to be a yob and say hello, or something. "Hi, I'm Leila." she introduced herself with a smile, 'cause she haven't met this girl yet. She hoped that coming here wasn't the bad decision, wondering how did it happen that she was so insecure. It wasn't her style.

[Elena Gilbert]

Elena opened the door to see Stefan smiling at her on the other side. "hi handsome" She said smiling as she kissed him back. Elena closed the door and turned around to walk in the house a she took a sip from her very strong drink but then heard another knock on the door. She opened the door and saw two faces she wasn't familiar with. That's when she realized that word about her party had gotten out.

She looked behind her for the person that invited them but realized she was being rude. "Hi, I'm assuming you two are here for the party?" She said with a light chuckle, joking with them. She had no problem meeting new people. Aunt Jenna might be madder than she would have been with the number Elena originally gave her. Elena should have known better than to think she can have just a few friends over for some fun and drinks without it turning into a huge party. She was in high school after all. "Come on in, I'm Elena" She said offering her hand to one of the girls and smiling. Elena wasn't a rude girl. She was very warm and welcoming.

She walked in with the girls, assuming they didn't know many people if Elena didn't know them. She found Stefan and figured she'd introduce him to them just so they'd feel more at home. "This is my boyfriend, Stefan" Elena said as she looped on of her arms through Stefan's and smiled at him. Elena wasn't much of a drinker so when she drank it, she felt it, fast. She was a bit of a lightweight. "Help yourselves to anything, there's food and drinks in the kitchen..." She said trailing off as she saw a few guys bust through her front door holding a huge keg as everyone cheered. "And apparently a keg...Okay" She said taking a deep breath and nodding a little. She didn't think she was ready for tonight's future. She looked at Stefan slowly as she heard someone turn the music up loud. "Okay" She said with a small smile, being sarcastic as if to say "this is going to get crazy."

[Angelina Wilde]

Angelina was biting her thumb before the girl came. When she came next to her she introduced herself as Leila. "Oh um, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Angelina." She would've offered for the girl to called her Angel or maybe even Chris but, she only did that with friends. She gave the girl a small smile though her eyes betrayed her nervousness of this occasion. She was nervous being here. Maybe she should've just left the phone with the police.

Yet, no, here she was. Only because she was too kind and eager to meet new people. She knew her kindness might be her downfall and something just screamed 'Get out, Get out' in her head. Then the owner of the house party it seemed opened the door. This must be the Elena and owner of the phone. Before she could say anything Elena ushered Leila and she in the house.

She was nervous after seeing more people here then she thought. Popular girl or highschool students are still looking for any excuse to get drunk. One or the other it seemed. Then Elena introduced us to her boyfriend Stefan. He was very handsome and they looked great together. Anyone with 2 eyes and a brain could see they were in love. Their auras mixed with each other creating a nice blue letting her know how comfortable they were around each other.

"It's very nice to meet you Stefan." Angelina said politely. She was a very polite and kind person. Well, unless you got her angry. She then came back to Earth when she felt the cool object in her hand. She then turned to Elena. "Um, Elena may I speak to you for a moment." She asked politely once again. Manners were everything. They show that you give someone respect and in return they should give you respect back. First thing Angelina was taught.

Though she noticed on the corner of her eye that the party was going to get a little more wild. Okay now she felt like panicking, she was not good with parties. Reason she had to sneak into one.

[Leila Peterson]

Leila could see that the girl is a little bit nervous. Peterson was wondering why, but didn't focus on that for long. She returned the smile. "Nice to meet you too." she answered and there was silence between them for a few minutes. They were waiting for a host to open the door. And finally Elena appeared, welcoming them. Leila saw that Gilbert was surprise but it wasn't weird at all. If Leila saw a two unknown girls coming to her party, she would be surprise too. Leila smiled to Elena. "Nice to meet you, Elena. I'm Leila." she introduced herself. She predicted that she will repeat that a lot tonight. She didn't know much people in this town. She've just arrived. Elena introduced them her boyfriend Stefan. Leila smiled again, this time to him. She wanted to make a good impress, even if unstopping smiling looked a little stupid. "I'm delighted to meet you, Stefan. I'm Leila." she said politely.

After meeting the hosts, Leila looked around, wondering what she should do to feel better here. For now she felt like an alien here, 'cause almost everybody (except Elena, Angelina and Stefan) was completely unknown for her. Well, this party was the opportunity to get to know them all. Leila didn't know who she should speak at first, then she went to alcohol, going to wait for anybody who wants to talk with her. Peterson wasn't the type of person who is imposed.

[Stefan Salvatore]

Stefan poured himself another drink and then turned as he caught the sounds of other people coming into the house and then quickly downed the drink placing the cup on the table before he walked over to them and Elena introduced them all to each other, as she placed an arm around his.
"Nice to meet you," he said as he went to pull Elena close and focused his attention on each girl as they were introduced. The first girl looked young, but he got the feeling that she wasn't, though he couldn't really pinpoint it. In a way, her stance reminded him of Bonnie, but that didn't really make sense. The other one---Leila---though was definitely older and seemed to be a throwback to another era, almost like him. At this thought, his brow s furrowed in confusion. What had caused him to think like that?

His attention was diverted when more people came in, carrying a keg and Elena commented that things were going to get crazy. That's an understatement, he thought to himself. He had been at enough Mystic Falls parties to see how fast things escalated.
"You want me to talk to them?" he offered. He didn't have enough power to compel them, but he could try using the jock card. Not that it would carry a lot of weight seeing as how their team sucked, but...it was worth a shot at least. But then again, with everything that had been going on, he and Elena could use a few drinks---Elena especially...

OOC
Ugh, not my best. Muse faded a little after I started. Sorry.

[Elena Gilbert]

After Elena introduced everyone to Stefan and he greeted them and pulled her close to him, she reached behind him finding a drink and downed it. Elena turned her attention to the girl that just introduced herself as Angelina asking if she could speak to her. Elena wondered what it could be about since she hasn't met this girl yet. "Sure" She said with a smile then heard Stefan ask her a question. "No it's fine, it's a party just...try not to let anyone break anything. I'm pretty sure Jenna will kill me" She said with a light chuckle and gave Stefan a kiss, grabbing another drink from behind him. "I'll be right back" She said smiling at him then smiled at Angelina.

Elena and the girl walked into another room that wasn't so crazy. There were a few people in there but nothing like what was going on in the living room and kitchen. "Whatsup?" She asked her, sipping from her new drink. Elena didn't like that she was going to be drunk in front of people she'd never met before. That wasn't the impression she wanted to give and it wasn't her. But she also didn't like that her boyfriend's obsessive ex girlfriend was back in town trying to claim her man. She claims to have come back for Stefan and Stefan only and demanded that Stefan not see Elena anymore.

Obviously, that wasn't okay with Stefan and Elena. They would fight her till the end and not just throw in the towel and call it quits. They were too invested in their relationship and too in love to just listen to anyone that didn't want them together. If they did that, they would have never been together. Jeremy didn't like the idea, caroline didn't like it. Even John and Bonnie didn't like it but Elena went with her heart instead of her gut and she's glad she did. Elena realized her mind was wandering. It tended to do that when she drank and turned her attention back to Angelina, smiling at her.

[Angelina Wilde]

Angelina was worried Elena wouldn't believe her about the phone. Since not many people would believe some girl they've never met before happened to find their phone and not look through it. Yet, Angelina is a very honorable and controlled person. She just thinks she should have just left the phone to the police. She could be in her home snuggled up on the couch with some hot chocolate while reading a nice book. But nooooo, Angelina has to be too good a person.

Angelina was relieved when Elena said how they could talk. They walked a little away from the other 2. Angelina was afraid to speak really. It wasn't that she was shy but, it was because she was worried how Elena would react. This isn't the first time Angelina fount something that wasn't hers and went to return it. Let's just say it ended with Angelina getting a black eye and Angelina making the girl's hair fall out. She had a bad temper.

Still does but still. It got kinda better. "Well Elena. I was walking around when I fount your phone lying on the street." She took the phone out of her pocket holding it out to her. "There was no physical damage so I think it's alright. You can check to be sure." Angelina said with a smile but then added in quickly. "Oh and I didn't go through it. In case you were thinking that."

Angelina usually wouldn't bother trying to explain herself and would usually get snappy if thought otherwise. But, it was a long time ago when she would think that so she wasn't really worried. She was mostly worried about Stefan and the girl, Leila. Something about them screamed for Angelina to either fight them or run. She had that feeling before but for the life of her she can't remember why. Eh, she's sure it'll come to her.

Until then, she should be careful around them. Just to be sure.

[Elena Gilbert]

After Elena and the girl stepped into the other room Elena heard the music turn up even louder and peaked out, over her shoulder to see everyone with a cup in the air yelling about something, but laughing so she figured it wasn't bad. Elena was wondering what the girl was wanting or needing or whatever. She turned her attention back to her as she took another sip and looked down in her hands as she listened to her to see her phone. Elena choked a little on her drink and then laughed. "Oh my god I didn't even realize I lost it! How sad is that? it must have fallen out of my purse or pocket when I was running errands today" She said taking her phone from the girl and not even bothering to look at it before just slipping it into her pocket. Elena smiled at the girl and pulled her in for a hug.

Elena was a little drunk but it was also sincere. "Thank you so much! You know I lost my phone a few years and whoever found it went though it and called and texted everyone in there just being super annoying..so thank you for not being an ass about it" Elena said laughing. Elena grabbed a drink off of the table they were standing near and handed it to the girl. "It was Angelina right? You'll have to forgive me, I'm horrible with names. but here...have a drink, loosen up. That's what this party is for" Elena said smiling as she handed her the drink and took some more sips of her own, started to feel it for sure.
