The next morning I woke up to a text from mom to meet her at the station. That Vicki was pronounced missing and that she thought it would be better if I was there.

As I walked into the station I saw Jermey coming out of my mom's office. I smiled at him sadly as he went into my arms and wrapped his arms around me.

"Are you okay?" I asked him as I ran my fingers through his hair.

"No, but I will," he told me making me nod as I looked at him concerned.

"Do you want Damon to remove to memory?" I asked him making him shake his head.

"No I don't," he told me as Elena came over to us.
"Come on Jeremy. Jenna is waiting for us," Elena told him and I smiled at him as he left with Elena.

"Hey," I heard a voice behind me and I smiled turning around.

"Hey Steffie," I told him wrapping my arms around him.

"You okay?" He asked me making me nod.
"Yeah, I am just wanted to check on Jer. He told me that he didn't want Damon to erase the memory," I told him making Stefan nod as looks at the family walking away.

"Go. I'll see you later," I told Stefan making him nod as he walked over to Elena. I sigh as I head into my moms' office.

"Hey Momma," I say walking over to her making her smile at me.

"Hey baby," she told me hugging me and I smile at her.

"I just wanted to come in and tell you hey before I leave," I told her making her nod as she hugs me.

"Alright we'll I love you," she told me making me smile.

"Love you too," I told her kissing her cheek as I leave the station.

As Lexi gets dressed and starts applying her make-up, she talks with Stefan about meeting Elena. Katherines look-like.

"You have some serious emotional damage," Lexi told him making Stefan shake his head.

"No, it's not what you think. She's not Katherine," Stefan told her making Lexi look at him annoyed.

"Then they're related, 'cause they can be twins," Lexi told him making Stefan sigh.

"I don't know," Stefan told him shrugging his shoulders.

"You don't know or you didn't find out?" Lexi asked him making Stefan shake his head.

"No. Maybe. I don't want to know. I have no desire to tie Elena to Katherine," Stefan told her making Lexi raise an eyebrow at him.

"Ok yes, yes the resemblance is what drew me in. But that's it. Katherine and Elena may look the same on the outside but on the inside, they are completely different," Stefan told her making Lexi shake her head.

"So Elena is not a raging Bitch then, huh?" Lexi asked him with a smirk.

"Elena is kind, nice and she's selfless also nothing like Katherine," Stefan told her making Lexi nod at him as she eyes him.

"Have you met anyone else?" Lexi asked him as she looks at him.

"Yeah uhm Rosie," Stefan told her with a soft smile making Lexi look at him with a smirk.

"Tell me about her?" Lexi asked him with a smirk.

"Rosies is kind and warm and she's...and she's caring, and she's selfless. She is good and around her, I feel calm. She has declared me her best friend with no takebacks, and when she found out the truth she wasn't scared. She accepted me right away," Stefan told her with a soft smile making Lexi smile at him.

"Oh my god! You're in love with her," Lexi yelled as Stefan shakes his head.

"No I'm with Elena," Stefan told her as he shake his head.

"I'm just saying you're with the wrong girl Stefan," Lexi told him as they heard the door downstairs being thrown open.

"STEFAN SALVATORE! Why did I just get a message from Elena about you with a girl in a towel?! Get your butt down here!" Rosie yelled making Stefan look wide-eyed.

"Now who is that?" Lexi asked him making Stefan sigh.

"Rosie," Stefan sighed as he got up. Lexi smirked as she sped downstairs.

"Hello," Lexi said as she appeared behind Rosie. Rosie turned around and smiled at the blonde.

"Hello I'm Rosie," Rosalie said as she smiled at the blonde.

"I'm Lexi. Stefans best friend otherwise known as Towel Girl," Lexi said making Rosie laugh.

"It's nice to meet you, Lexi. What are you doing in Mystic falls if you don't mind me asking?" Rosalie asked her as she walked over to Damon's bourbon and poured two glasses.

"Oh I'm here for Stefans birthday," Lexi told her making Rosie freeze.

"What?! It's his birthday!" Rosie yelled making Lexi nod as Rosie huffed.

"Stefan Salvatore! It's your birthday and you don't tell me! We need to plan a party! And get a cake! And get you presents!" Rosie yelled as she paced and took her phone out.

Lexi smiled at the girl as Stefan shook his head at her.
"Rosie no it's fine," Stefan told her making her shake her head.

"You at least need a cake and presents," Rosie told him as she started looking for a bakery and something to get Stefan before freezing.

"Wait why didn't Damon tell me?" Rosie questioned as Lexi looked confused and Stefan shrugged.

"DAMON SALVATORE get your butt down here! Now!" Rosie yelled as the vampires winced.

Damon then sped down as he rolled his eyes at his best friend.
"Yes, Cupcake?" Damon questioned annoyed.

"Why don't you tell me about Steffie's birthday!" Rosie asked him annoyed making Damon shrug.

"Wait are you, friends, with that?" Lexi asked Rosie as she pointed to Damon making Rosie nod.

"Yeah. Why?" Rosie asked her making Lexi shake her head Rosie immediately noticed the look in her eyes and turned to Damon.

"What did you do?" Rosie asked him with a stern expression making him back up just a bit.

"Now see Cupcake it wasn't a big deal," Damon told her as Rosie glared at him.

"Lexi what did he do?" Rosie asked her sweetly making Damon shake his head as Lexi smirked and Stefan just watched with a smile.

"He locked me on a roof without a daylight ring," Lexi told her making Rosie turn and glare at Damon.

"Apologize!" Rosie told him making him scoff.
"No," Damon told her as Rosie walked over to him and grabbed his ear twisting it making him grunt in pain.

"Apologize now," Rosie told him as Lexi smiled at her already loving her.

"Lexi I am sorry for what I did. I hope you can forgive me," Damon told her making Lexi smile with a nod as Rosie let him go.

"Good job Dames! I am so proud of you," Rosie told him hugging him as Damon sighed but if you looked closely enough you saw the small smile on his face.

"I like you," Lexi said looking at Rosie who smiled.
"Well thank you, Lexi. Now I have to go and get everything ready. I will meet you guys at the grill," I told them as I hugged everyone by including Lexi who was surprised.

"Bye-bye!" Rosie yelled as she left the grill. Lexi watched her go and turned to the Salvatore brothers.

"I like her," Lexi said as she walked away leaving two smiling Salvatores.

After leaving the Salvatore Boarding house Rosie started getting everything ready for Stefan's birthday. She already made him a double chocolate fudge cake and got his present.

As she was leaving the house she smiled at everything before heading towards the grill.

Getting there she looked around as she spotted Stefan and Lexi at the pool table. She smiled ad she walked over towards the two.

"Happy Birthday Steffie!" Rosie told him with a bright smile as she handed him the birthday cake. He smiled at her taking it.

"Rosie you didn't have to," Stefan told her as he looked down at the cake.

"Of course I did. We're friends Steffie," Rosie told him making him smile at her as he brought her into a hug.

"Thank you, Rosie," Stefan told her making her smile at him.

"Of course and by the way, it's a double chocolate fudge cake," Rosie told him making Stefan look wide-eyed before smiling down at the cake.

"Who made it?" Stefan asked her as she looked down sheepishly.

"I did. The bakery was going to take too long," Rosie told him as he smiled at her as he took a fork taking a bite of the cake making his eyes go big.

"This is the best cake I have ever had. Thank you, Rosie," Stefan told her making her blush as she smiled at him.

"Oh wait here," Rosie told him as she handed him a bag. He smiled at her shaking his head as he opened the present.

"If you don't like it I will get you something else," Rosie told him as he pulled the picture frame out of the bag. It was a picture of the two of them at the first football game. Caroline must have taken it of the two.

"Rosie I love it. Thank you," Stefan said as he brought Rosie into a hug. She smiled hugging him back.

"Good," Rosie told him as Lexi watched the two with a knowing smirk.

"I am the caption of the Stefan and Rosie ship," Lexi said with a smile.

"Now let's play pool," Rosie said as Stefan nodded and Lexi smiled as they started playing the game laughing together forgetting the rest of the world.

As the three were laughing together Damon was killing a rapist that he turned into a vampire making Liz thankful for him and Elena watching the three with an upset expression.
