Everything Comes Back to You

32. Real Life

"Can you believe there are only a few more episodes before I'm on?" Nina said as she and Ian were sitting on a lounge chair waiting for Ian to be called onto set to film his scenes with Paul and he hummed pulling her closer and placing a kiss on her head

"I can't wait to start filming our scene. I've been waiting for that moment for ages" he replied making her smile and lean her head on his shoulder. It's been surreal to think that she was back on set. The very same set where she met Ian and had fallen in love with him. She was excited to start filming their scenes but that would have to wait until she returned from doing press for her recent movie that she's staring with Vin Diesel and Ruby Rose.

"I can't wait to announce it to the fans. I wonder how they're going to react to the news that I'm coming back for the finale" she said and Ian smiled

"They're going to be happy to see you back on the screen. I mean haven't you seen what they've been posting all over Twitter and Instagram?" He asked and she smiled because who can she not? The fans have been extremely supportive and have kept asking when she was popping up while others have been very mean in regards of her returning to TVD and how they have stated that they'll stop watching the show of her returned.

"Yeah but there have also been negative comments about me coming back and I know it's only going to get worse once I tell them" she said with a sigh and Ian sighed because no matter how many times he's begged his fans to stop sending Nina hate it just doesn't stop. He's seen how much their words affect her despite her putting on a happy face and saying that it didn't bother her.

"I wish I could do something to make it go away but no matter what I do it's not enough and I hate seeing you upset" he murmured and Nina smiled shaking her head

"Being there for me is enough" she said DuPont his face and he smiled leaning forward giving her a soft kiss on the lips and before he could say anything else, Ian was being called to set and so they both walked to set where Ian joined Paul. The scene they were filming was Damon and Stefan at an anger management group.

"Alright people get in places!" The director yelled and everyone including the extras and the actors got in their places with Ian and Paul taking their seats next to each other across from the group leader

"AND ACTION!"

"Hi. I'm Damon. And I have anger issues." Damon says in greeting

"Hi, Damon." The group greets him

"Why don't you tell us about what brought you to the meeting today?" The group leader asks and Damon says

"Well, I got my brother this job..."

"Actually, I asked for the job." Stefan interferes

"Yeah. Through my connections. Anyway, our boss gave Stefan new orders. And now, we're supposed to push people to make evil choices, and only then do we kill them and send their souls to the devil." Damon replies before looking at the group who look terrified even if they were 'compelled'

"I thought we were going for like, a... a veiled analogy." Stefan says looking at Damon who shrugs and looks at the group

"Oh, they're all compelled. Clarity over cleverness. That's what I always say." Damon states and Stefan gives him a deadpan es expression saying

"You've literally never said that before."

"Anyway, since he got this new job, he's been difficult. Full of himself." Damon rolled his eyes ignoring his brother's statement turning to the group.

"Okay. He's just jealous because I'm better at finding new clients. For instance. Who would you say is the worst person in this room? Huh? Meg or Elizabeth? You both have said some pretty awful things. I'm sure that, given the right opportunity, one of them would make an evil choice." Stefan says looking at the group and they all exchanged glances
