Dani's PoV

The dance

I walk into the gym, the space creatively covered in all thing 60s.

"Elena," I call out with a smile.

"Dani," She turns around, "Hey. I'm sorry for not asking you how you feel about everything."

I sigh, "It's alright. Don't worry about it."

She goes to speak when the microphone squeaks, Dana's voice echoing through.

"Thanks for being here, everybody. We have a special shout-out tonight."

I spin round hearing a familiar tune starting to play.

"This is for Danielle. From Klaus."

The others look at me before looking for Klaus.

Damon glares, "That was a lame, cheap shot. He's just trying to bait us."

Elena frantically observes the scene, "We both know everyone here."

"Maybe he's not here. Just wants us to believe that he is," Stefan suggests.

Damon scoffs, "It's a party, people. Blend. Let him come to us."

"Good idea," Bonnie agrees linking arms with Elena.

Everyone disperses leaving me alone.

10 minutes later

I stumble over to the punch bowl pouring myself a drink.

"Hey, did they all leave you out?" Ric asks approaching me.

"What?," I say shaking my head, "No, I just have a lot on my mind."

"Well, maybe you need to be distracted, love," Ric smiles.

I raise my eyebrows, "Distracted?"

"Dance, love," He chuckles holding out his hand.

I laugh, "Are you really asking me to dance."

He smiles, "Yes. I guess I am."
