Lexa clipped in her seatbelt, and went to start her car to drive back to her home when suddenly her phone rang. The brunette took it from the console, and noticed her twin was calling her. She accepted the call and placed the phone to her ear. "Hey Lena." Lexa greeted.

"Lex— hey! I'm just letting you know that I'm not going to be at school today... I'll see you tonight." Elena explained. Lexa raised an eyebrow, "Okay.. where are you?" She asked, awkwardly. "I'm in Georgia. With Damon." Elena answered.

"What!?"

"Long story.. I made up with Stefan last night and then I found a photo on his night stand of a girl that looks exactly like us! And guess what, it's Katherine— his ex girlfriend!" Elena explained, still in shock. "Then I went to drive home and got in an accident and hit somebody... Damon saved me and I fainted and now I'm in Georgia with Damon." Elena concluded, telling quite a series of chaotic events.

Lexa blinked in surprise, processing everything her twin had just told her, it honestly sounded made up, though the girl did believe her. "Are you okay?" She then asked. "Yeah just.. confused." Elena replied. "Hey are you going to school today? Could you get my homework for me?" She then asked. Lexa shook her head, "Actually I'm taking today off.. I don't feel so great." Lexa confessed, in dire need of a mental health day.

Before Elena could respond, Alexia spoke up, "Hey I gotta drive home. I'll talk to you later. If Damon does anything to you, I will kill him." She threatened, before she reluctantly ended the phone call.

Lexa entered the cemetery, with roses in her arms. She reached the end, where her parents graves lied. "Hey Mum.. Hey Dad.." The brunette said aloud, before placing a rose on each of their graves. Lexa then sat in front of them, peering up at headstones.

"I'm sure you're both wondering why I'm not at school.. I can practically hear you both asking." Lexa sweatdropped, "But I'm having an off day.. I woke up this morning feeling really upset.. and I realised it's because today.. I'm really, really missing you both... more than usual I guess."

Lexa pulled her knees in front of her, before burying her head in them, "Ever since... I overdosed and saw you... I haven't been able to stop thinking about you guys. I feel like in a way, I got some form of closure, but I'd still do anything to have you both back." She explained, as if her parents were right there listening. In her heart, she knew they were.

"Now that I have been staying clean, and not using drugs as an escape, I can't escape my grief.. and when I think about you guys being dead, I start crying and it feels like I'll never stop." Lexa said, her eyes welling with tears now. "I try to ignore what happened so I can be strong for Elena and Jeremy.. and Jenna.." She trailed off. "God knows I've caused them enough trouble."

━━━━━ ⋆⋅♥︎⋅⋆ ━━━━━

Lexa had sat peacefully for a few moments, before finally speaking again to her parents graves. "I'm a witch.. a siphoner to be exact. Basically I have to siphon magic from supernatural beings or objects.. sounds very made up, right?" She chuckled. "But it's not.. there's even vampires in Mystic falls.. Elena has fallen in love with one.. surprisingly I approve of him, but at first I really didn't like the guy." Lexa explained to the graves.

"Elena has been really happy... the happiest I have seen her in so long. Same with Jeremy! It makes me glad to see them like this.. I just wish... I could feel the same." She sighed. "My ex girlfriend Vicki Donovan left town... I miss her, but I also am a bit relieved that we're spending time apart."

"I now have a crush on Caroline Forbes. I don't know how to tell her.. or if I should at all.. but I really like her." Lexa trailed off. . "She keeps telling me that she doesn't like girls the way she likes boys.. so I guess I should really just accept it and move on.. find somebody new." The brunette sighed.

After a few more minutes of sitting with her parents, a chilly wind blew, causing her to shiver. "I'm gonna head home.. I forgot to bring a jacket and if I stay for much longer, I might just turn into an icicle." Lexa laughed awkwardly, standing to her feet. She gazed at her parents graves once more, reading the tombstones. "Goodbye Mum and Dad.. I love you." She said, tears fighting to fall again, before she turned around and left.

Lexa walked towards the exit of the cemetery, letting her tears fall freely now that she was away from her parents graves. She knew they would never want her or her siblings to be sad over their deaths, but they couldn't help it. Lexa's vision became blurry now, as she cried hard, but due to that... she tripped over. On the ground, she let out a sigh as she began to stand up, wiping away her tears.

Suddenly, she heard a voice from behind her. "Are you gonna send me a postcard from your trip?" They asked, as the siphoner frowned, before turning around to be faced with Sienna Lockwood. "Are you following me or something?" The witch snapped, annoyed.

Sienna frowned now, realising the girl had been crying, "No I— uh sorry, are you alright?" Sienna asked, feeling guilty for her smartass remark. Lexa wiped her eyes again, before standing up straight. "You just happen to be in the cemetery? And I just visited my parents graves, so what do you think?" The Gilbert seethed as Sienna bit her lip, "I'm visiting. It's the anniversary of my mother's death. And I'm sorry.." The Lockwood sighed.

Lexa frowned, feeling terrible, "Oh Sienna— I'm so sorry, I'm really having a bad day I-" Lexa rambled, as Sienna held up a hand to shush her. "It's fine.. I'm having a bad day too." She answered. "I'm gonna head to the Grill.. to get a coffee. Would you like to join me, Lexa?" Sienna then asked. Lexa looked to the girl bashfully, "Yeah.." I'd like that."

━━━━━ ⋆⋅♥︎⋅⋆ ━━━━━

Lexa and Sienna both took a seat, as they sat at a small table, in the corner of the Grill. The tension between the pair had been a little awkward after their interaction at the cemetery, and they'd made small talk until a waitress came over.

"I'll get an iced coffee please." Sienna ordered, before glancing over at Lexa, waiting for her to say something. "A strawberry milkshake for me, thanks." The Gilbert said. The waitress confirmed their order before leaving.

"Hey.. I'm really sorry about being angry at you earlier.. you didn't deserve to be snapped at." Lexa said, facing Sienna. "Oh please Lexa, I was being an ass. I deserved it." Sienna chuckled. Silence fell between them again, before the waiter came back, placing their drinks in front of them. "Thank you." They both said to the waitress.

"You and Elena were really lucky to be blessed with such lovely parents, y'know." Sienna spoke up, before sipping on her coffee. "Yeah.. our parents were really the best.. I miss them." Lexa admitted, before looking up at Sienna, "Were you close with your mum?" She asked.

Sienna shook her head, "I never got the chance to meet her." She admitted. "Once my dad finally told me who she was, she was already in a grave. Every year I go to place some flowers." Sienna explained. "I wish I'd had the chance to meet her."

Lexa frowned, believing that was terrible of Sienna's father. "Why was your Dad trying to keep her out of your life?" She asked. Sienna made eye contact with Lexa, taking another sip of her coffee before she spoke. "You see Lexa, I was the product of a one night stand. My parents were never together, just two people that met at a bar and decided to spend the night together after having a few drinks." Sienna trailed off.

"Once I was born, my parents didn't know what to do, neither of them felt fit to be parents.. so my Dad sent me to live with my Aunty Carol and Uncle Richard, so it's them that raised me." She added. Lexa found her story so interesting, though she couldn't lie she felt bad for Sienna.

"So Tyler and Allira.. are your cousins? Not your siblings?" Lexa asked, as the students of Mystic falls high seemed to say different things. Some people said the Lockwood trio were cousins, others assumed they were siblings. "Yeah, Ty and Allie are my cousins. But I guess after growing up together, I see Tyler more as brother." Sienna shrugged.

"Are you and Allira... not close?" Lexa asked, as Sienna shook her head. "God no. I mean, when you look at the bigger picture, we weren't really fated to get along." The Lockwood trailed off, making Lexa only more curious. "To Carol and Charles, She's perfect daughter... always so happy and loving. I'm the bastard baby that they took in, who grew up to be a competitive bitch."

Lexa let out a laugh at how casually Sienna called herself a bitch, but could relate. If anyone were to tell the difference between Elena and Lexa, they'd usually say that Elena is the softer or sad twin, and Lexa was the bitchy one.

The Gilbert sipped on her milkshake, before she looked up at the girl, "I'm sorry for all of those questions.." She admitted, suddenly feeling bad for prying. Sienna shook her head, "Don't be. You're actually the only person I've told about my unusual upbringing, other than Matt." She replied.

Sienna pushed her empty glass forward, finishing her coffee. The girl had a satisfied smirk, "Man I so needed that coffee." She said before throwing her arms back, resting them behind her head. Lexa chuckled before giving Sienna a smile, "Thanks for inviting me here.. it does feel better not being alone, today." Lexa declared.

"You're welcome, Gilbert. I can't lie.. I do enjoy your company." Sienna said, rolling her eyes playfully, as she didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but when she looked back at Lexa, the girl had a genuine smile on her lips. "I really enjoy your company too, Cece."
