The Forbidden Love (Sequel to MFTM)

Chapter 2- Mikaelson's Ball

ALEX'S POV

I have been living with my family for the past week. We were sitting in the dressing room where my father and my Uncles' were getting their suits made while me and my aunt Rebekah were sitting on the sofa. I was reading my favorite magazine. I hadn't exactly been talking to anyone in my family especially my father and my grandmother. "Rebekah, tell me how handsome I am" uncle Kol said. "Oh Kol you know that I can't be compelled." She said. I couldn't help but laugh a little. "Went after Elena. What is wrong with you Rebekah?" my father said as he stormed into the room. "Here we go." Aunt Bekah said "Do you want another dagger in your heart." He continued. "Again with the dagger threats. Don't you have any other tricks?" uncle kol said. "Oh go back to staring at yourself!" "And who are you my father?" their fight continued. "Enough." My grandmother said "Niklaus come" she said as my father walked behind her

. I got up and started walking out of the door "Where are you going dear?" aunt Rebekah asked. "Out" I said as I walked out. I took my car and drove to the grill. I had to get out of my house. As I entered the grill I went to the bar. I saw someone I didn't expect to see "OMG! Caleb?" I shouted as I walked towards him "Hey... you're back!" he said with a smile. I hugged him and he hugged me back. "How are you?" I asked "Fine. What about you? Where were you?" he asked "Daggered in a room and now am stuck with my 'family'" "Don't say like that. They are your family" "I know. So what are you doing here in Mystic Falls?" "I am not going to lie. I came here to find you." "Aww that's so sweet. How have you been?" "Good." We both sat down and started having drinks "So what's been going on with your life? Met anyone?" "Yes, I met your ex Damon. He is your ex right?" "Well, I don't know. All I can say now is that it is complicated." "Ohk well he is kind of a douche". I laughed "No he is not like that. Ok ya he is but he is douche that I love" I joked.

"I know that. So how does it feel like being back to life? No pun intended" "It has been kind of a bust" I said as I told him about my family drama Anyways there is a ball that my family is holding at my father's mansion you should come." I said giving him an invite. "I think I will." "Bye I have to go." I said as I saw Elena and Caroline entering. I have been avoiding Elena as much as I could. I didn't want to talk to her as for what she did. I couldn't forgive her. I rushed out without letting them notice. I walked back to the house where I got dressed.

It was the time of the dance. I was busy in my room getting dressed. I took out a grey sleeveless dress and let my hair open. I was sitting and looking at myself in the mirror when I heard "You look beautiful, my love!" it was my father. I ignored him and started walking out of the room when my father held my hand and stopped me "What?" I said rolling my eyes "I am sorry." He said. "I don't need your apology. What you did can never be forgiven." "I only did it to protect you" "Protect me from what? All my life you couldn't possibly care about me now all of a sudden why do you care? I mean this is not even care. You daggered me." I screamed at him. "I had to do it Alexandra. I am sorry my love" "Why? Who are you protecting me from?" "i....." he stood their silently "See you can't tell me!" I pushed my hand away from him and ran outside. I had tears rolling down my eyes

. I knew I couldn't possibly go down with tears in my eyes so I went and washed my face and put on my brave face. It was time for showdown. I walked down the stairs to the hall. The hall was filled with people. Music was playing the lights were bright and everyone was happy. Well, everyone except me. I tried looking for the one person I actually wanted to find, Damon. I hadn't talked to him at all since I was back. I didn't know what I could've talked about. Last thing that happened was that he kissed Elena. I didn't think that I could let it go. But I love him so I think that I have to. I saw Damon standing and talking to Mayor Lockwood. Suddenly he moved his head towards my side. He looked at me and walked towards me "You look beautiful." He said "Thanks." I smiled "How are you?" "I'm good. How are you?" we both were having a small talk trying not to face the real problem we had been having.

I was not ready to start the topic and I don't think that Damon was either "I missed you" he said "I missed you too." I smiled "If everyone could gather......." I heard Uncle Elijah's voice "Well, that is my cue to go. You know my 'family' awaits" I said "Ok." Damon said with a smirk on his face. The smirk that made me fall for him in the first place. I walked up on to the stairwell where my family was standing. I walked right up the bottom stair and stood there with a drink in my hand. "Welcome thank you for joining us" Uncle Elijah said. My grandmother walked down the stairs and made her grand entrance. Everyone turned toward her "You know whenever our mother brings our family together like this its tradition for us to commence the evening with a dance. Tonight's pick is a century old waltz. So if all of you could please find yourselves a partner. Please join us in the ballroom" He continued

. As his speech ended I walked down the stairs to get myself a drink. I was actually in no mood to dance. My mood even got worse when I saw Damon taking none other than Elena to dance with him. "Drinking alone again?" I heard a familiar voice. It was Caleb

. I smiled but did not say anything. I wasn't in a mood to. "Caleb you are here. I am so happy to see you here. No excitement at all?" "Caleb. You came." I said with fake excitement in my voice. "Better. Now come on Alex. I know something is upsetting you but let's skip that. Let's dance." He said "Sorry Caleb I am really not in a mood to" "Why?" he asked. I pointed over towards Damon and Elena. "Damon is dancing with Elena? Forget him. It is your family's ball. You have to dance. It will be rude not to" he said giving me his hand. I smiled and took it. Both of us went to the ballroom. The dance began. It was a traditional dance where everyone danced with their partners and as the music changed the partners changed. I was dancing with Caleb and the next thing that I knew I was in Damon's arms.

Damon looked at me with a smile but I couldn't take this. I had to know what was in his mind. I couldn't be pretending that everything was ok between us. "I'm sorry" I said as I pushed him away from me and walked away from the ballroom into the balcony. Tears were rolling down my eyes and I couldn't control it. I was the biggest emotional freak in the history of originals. "Alex......" Damon said as he kept his hand on my shoulder "Go away Damon" I said "No, I won't. I need to know what is happening with you Alex, with us" "You seriously don't know what you've done wrong?" I asked "No, please tell me" "You kissed her Damon." I shouted

"What?" "You kissed Elena, I saw it. The day that you were dying when I gave up everything for you, when Stefan gave up everything for you. I came back, I came back to say one last goodbye and what did I see, you and Elena." I said. Damon stood there silently "I want to ask you something Damon" "Sure" "I know you will not answer truthfully so I will have to compel it out of you I am sorry. I started compelling him "Answer truthfully" I compelled him "Do you love me?" "Yes I do Alex, I do" "Do you love Elena?" Damon paused "I have my answer." I said as I walked away from the balcony and into the hall.

I took the drink the waiter was serving and went to find Caleb. I was not in the best condition and I needed to get out of there. Suddenly I heard a glass chiming "Good evening ladies and gentlemen" I looked up to see who it was. It was my grandmother Esther "Waiters are coming around with champagne, I invite you all to join me in raising a glass. It provides me in no greater joy, than to see my family back together as one. I'd like to thank you all for being a part of this spectacular evening. Cheers" she continued. I took the glass from the waiter and raised it for formality "Cheers" everyone said. As the crowd excitement died I saw Caleb talking to some girl. I had seen her once in my history class. "Excuse me" Caleb said to the girl as he spotted me. I couldn't say anything. I kept my head on his shoulder and started crying. I couldn't control it. "Do you want to get out of here?" he asked.

I nodded.
