I LOVE YOU

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

The next morning I woke up with a hangover as I stared at the ceiling in my bed with Bonnie and Caroline on both sides of me.

After Damon told me about maybe being the supernatural queen I grabbed the bottle of bourbon and started drinking straight from it.

Damon just watched as I continued drinking until I started crying about dying and Stefan and then dying again.

It was a whole thing as Damon just looked beyond concerned and awkward not knowing what to do. Eventually, he went to get Caroline who drag me upstairs and into a cuddle as she and Bonnie held me until we all fell asleep.

As we were laying down my phone started going off I grabbed it since it was beside me but immediately sent it to voicemail seeing it was Stefan.

I know I was being petty but he hurt me. I needed time.
"You okay?" I heard a familiar voice asks and I look to see Caroline looking at me.

I nod at her as she wraps her arms around me.
"Yeah I'm okay," I tell her making her nod at me.

"Want to go to the Grill?" She asks making me nod with a smile.

"Yes!" I yell as I hurry to get up making bonnie groan hearing my yelling.

"Come on Bon-Bon let's go get some food," I tell her making her groan but get up. Getting dressed I looked down at my phone to see Stefan texting me again.

Hero Hair 🦌🩸
Rosie can we please talk?
Please I want to explain.
Rosie?

I sigh look at it before shutting my phone off and going to find the girls. They smile at me as we laugh lock arms together.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

Arriving at the Grill the three of us went to our usual booth as we ordered our food. As we were laughing and talking a familiar face came into view.

"Rosie?" I hear Tyler's voice and I sigh in relief as I pull him into a hug.

"Are you okay? I was going to call you but I thought you were probably talking with Mason," I ask him as I look him over as Tyler just looks at me wide-eyed.

"Am I okay? Last time I saw you were covered in your own blood and dead," Tyler tells me making me gulp before nodding.

"I'm okay Tyler I am just happy they are all gone," I tell making him nod at me as he hugs me once again.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have talked to you that way. I should have let you explain everything. Mason did and I'm sorry and thank you, Rosie," Tyler tells me making me smile as I smile up at him.

"You are my best friend, practically my brother Tyler of course I'm always here for you," I tell him making him smile at me as my phone goes off.

"Shoot I forgot about the Historical Tea Party today. I promised your mom I would go," I tell him making Tyler nod.

"Go I'll see you later," Tyler tells me making me smile at him as I look towards Caroline and Bonnie.

"Are you two coming?" I ask them making them nod at me.

"Yeah we just need to go get changed," Caroline says making me nod. I smile at Tyler one more time before we all leave making sure to leave the money and a tip on the table.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

After quickly getting changed into a dress for Tea Party the three of us walk inside.

"Oh there's Mrs.Lockwood," Caroline says as I look over to where she was talking to a man with his back to us. Mrs.Lockwood sees us and smiles at us as we smile back.

"Rosalie, Caroline, Bonnie thank you for coming," Mrs.Lockwood tells us making all of us smile at her.

"Of course," I tell her as the man turns around. I smile seeing who it was.

"It's nice to see you again Elijah," I tell him making him smile at me.

"You too Miss Forbes," he tells me making me wave him off.

"Please call me Rosalie or Rosie and this is my twin sister Caroline and our best friend Bonnie," I tell him making him nod at the two girls.

"Nice to meet you both. Do you mind if I speak to Miss Forbes alone please?" Elijah asks as the girls look at me. I nod at them as they smile at Elijah and went to go talk to someone else.

Elijah grabs my hand making me smile as he leads me to the office. What we both missed were the pair of eyes glaring.

"Stefan?" Caroline questions making him turn to her. Stefan smiles as Caroline crosses her arms.

"I just need to explain," Stefan tells her as Caroline sighs and shakes her head.

"Rosie and me we have this weird twin connection. I can feel her at times and right now she's confused and angry, but mostly she's hurt. She's hurt because you lied to her. You should have told her the truth," Caroline tells him making Stefan look down.

"What should I do?" Stefan asks her making Caroline look up at him and sigh.

"Make it up to her," Caroline tells him making Stefan nod as he tries to think of something to do. He then remembered a promise he made her a long time ago and smiles as he looks at Caroline.

"Can I borrow your house keys please?" Stefan asks her making Caroline look at him confused.

Meanwhile, Elijah and Rosie walked into the office, and Rosie smiles at him.

"How are you? I heard about what happened with the wolves?" Elijah asks me making me smile at him.

"Doing better," I tell him making him nod at me.
"Elijah, can I ask you a question?" Rosie asks him making Elijah nod at her.

"Do you know about regarding the Supernatural Queen?" I ask him making Elijah look at me.

"A few things mostly legends," Elijahs tells me making me nod at him.

"If you are wondering if you are her. You are," Elijah tells me making me look wide-eyed before sighing.

"I thought so," I tell him making him nod at me sadly.
"Thank you, Elijah," I tell him making him nod at me.

"Of course Rosalie," he tells me as I step up to him.
"May I hug you? I didn't ask last time and that was rude," Rosie tells him making Elijah shake his head as he smiles at her.

Rosie smiles at him as she hugs him. As she was hugging him Elijah felt warmth spread around his body. It was like he was protected from anything.

"I'll see you later Eli," I tell him making Elijah nod at me.

"Have a good day Rosalie," he tells her as she leaves. Elijah hears a ping from his phone and looks down.

Elena Gilbert
Can we talk?

He looked at the message confused before leaving the party heading towards the Gilbert house where Elena stood holding a silver dagger with white oak ash that John Gilbert gave to her.

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

After the party, Caroline was going with Bonnie to go get some food as I went home just wanting to curl up in a blanket and read the book she got from Damon.

Walking inside the house I hear something coming from the kitchen.

"Mom? Are you home?" I question as I slip my heels off and walk into the kitchen. I pause seeing Stefan as he fixed something on the stove.

"I promised to make you Italian?" Stefan tells me as I just continue to look at him. He sighs turning to oven down as he walks up to but keeps a few feet between us.

"I know you're mad. I shouldn't have compelled you but-," Stefan started to say before I interrupted him.

"No that's not why I'm mad," I tell him making him look at me confused.

"I feel betrayed and hurt that you told me that and made me forget like it was nothing. Like I was nothing," I tell him making Stefan shake his head at me.

"That's not it," Stefan tells me as I raise an eyebrow at him.

"I was scared no actually terrified that you wouldn't feel the same way, but I couldn't keep it in anymore. I compelled you to forget because I couldn't lose you but I couldn't have kept it in anymore either," Stefan tells me as I look into his eyes.

"I'm going to do this the right way this time," Stefan tells me making me look at him confused as he steps up to me and places his hand gently on my cheek.

"Rosalie Forbes I am completely and utterly in love with you. You are my entire world and have been since the moment I ran into you as you stepped out of the men's bathroom. I'm sorry it took me so long to say it but I do. I love you," Stefan tells me as tears welled up in my eyes.

As I start to talk the doorbell rings and then knocks on the door. Stefan sighs as I look at him sadly before walking to the door. 

I open it to look wide-eyed to see Elijah with a hole in his chest and pale.

"Elijah! What happened?! Come in!" I tell him as I pull him inside. Stefan came to see what was going on and looked wide-eyed seeing Elijah.

"Elena Gilbert tried to dagger me but she couldn't," Elijah tells us making me look at him confused.

"I felt this warmth around me like it was protecting me. It had never happened before," Elijah says as he looks at me.

"What dagger?" I ask him as Stefan gets Elijah some blood that Caroline has.

"A dagger dipped into white oak. I don't know how she got it," Elijah tells us as he drinks from the blood bag.

"As the warmth ever happened before?" Stefan asks as I look at him.

"Once," Elijah says as he looks at me.
"When you hugged me," Elijah tells me making me look wide-eyed.

"Are you telling me you think I am the reason you weren't daggered?" I ask him as Elijah nods.

"You are the Queen," Elijah tells me making me sigh. 

"I really need to read that book," I mutter as I sigh before I could say anything else the door was open.

"Well, I for one am happy that you were daggered even if it was for a second. Now Rosie tell me what I missed."

I smiled big as got up and ran to the familiar face and hug her tightly.

"I missed you Kitty-Kat."

Authors Note: Sorry for the terrible chapter but I was stuck and wanted to move past it. Also, all werewolves are dead but Jules. Mason and Tyler aren't leaving and I am skipping the dinner party. I am ready for Klaus to get here!
