Things We Lost in the Fire

"Missed you too, Mar. Caroline invited me to her baby shower. Although, she failed to mention the part about Mystic Falls going to crap. What the hell happened out there?" Tyler asked furrowing his eyebrows and I slowly sighed.

"Oh, you know—we had to evacuate. Scary heretics and weird fire rituals. You were CC'd on the memo?" Damon asked sarcastically as he eyed Tyler and I sighed.

"I don't think that he's talking about the evacuation, Damon." I replied, looking back at him and he furrowed his eyebrows back at me.

"So then—what is he talking about? I know that Stefan didn't manage to screw up the whole town all over again while I was in my weekend trip to limbo." Damon stated eyeing his brother and I took a deep breath.

"That's the thing—You weren't gone for a weekend, Damon.. You were gone for weeks.. Months." I clarified, looking away from him before back at Tyler who gestured towards the living room and I nodded as we walked away.

"You delegated deputy Doolittle to patrol the streets with his witchy ride along?" Damon asked groaning in annoyance at Stefan, who sat in a chair in front of him as I leant on the wall. "Are you sure Bonnie put the right soul back in your body? I mean—what happened to your hero hair-campaign to protect Mystic Falls?" Damon asked angrily at his brother.

"Well, we've been busy trying to raise you from the dead." Stefan argued in defense.

"It's called multitasking." Damon scoffed, rolling his eyes at his brother.

"You have no idea what we have been through." Stefan countered in annoyance and I nodded in agreement.

"Alright, brother. You have a captive audience. What'd I miss?" Damon asked eyeing us and I sighed a bit.

"After Bonnie did the spell to bring me out of the stone, all I wanted to do was get back to normal with Caroline." Stefan stated before he looked down at the floor.

"Thank you." Caroline stated as the waiter pulled out her chair and she sat down smiling as I sat down beside her, looking over the menu. "Super fancy. Even my purse has a chair." Caroline stated laughing and I smiled back at her.

"Well, we're celebrating so I figured we'd take it up a notch, right?" I asked smiling at her.

"Absolutely." Caroline agreed, smiling back at me before she sighed looking at the menu in her hands. "So what wine are you feeling like?" She asked and I shook my head at her.

"I don't care, Whatever you want." I replied nodding and she rose her eyebrow.

"Well, I'm drinking water." She pointed out, looking down at her pregnant belly and I slowly nodded.

"Right.. Sorry." I replied laughing half nervously and embarrassingly as I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Are you sure that you're up for this?" Caroline asked furrowing her eyebrows at me. "I know it's the first time you've been out since you woke up." She added unsure and I slowly nodded.

"I'm-I'm fine. Thank you though." I replied reassuringly and she slowly sighed.

"Okay." Caroline said unconvinced. "Bonnie thinks she's close to pulling Damon out—She said that she felt really strong today so with any luck.. We'll be celebrating something else soon." Care said smiling at me as I twirled my fork in my, hand half listening.

"Hello, lovers." Damon said from behind her and I just stared at him completely taken aback. "Miss me?" Damon asked smirking down at me and I groaned.
