Summary: Alexis Langton used to be Elena Gilbert's best friend, before she moved away to College after Elena's parents died. Now that she's back in town, what will happen? And what Will our Favorite vampire do?

Chapter 1: The Return

She closed her eyes, taking a deep breath as she walked up to the front door of the Gilbert house. She'd been gone for quite a while, and was hoping that she wouldn't be mad at her. She reached the door, and took another deep breath. She raised her arm up, and knocked. She heard a person saying "I know-" as they opened the door, immediately cutting off at the sight of her.

"Lexi?" Elena asked, her brown eyes wide with shock. Lexi nodded.

"Hey Lena, I'm back." Lexi replied, causing a huge grin to spread across Elena's face.

"Oh my God Lexi! I can't believe you're here!" She exclaimed hugging her.

"I know, I know. I've been gone for a long time." She replied. Elena let her go, tears in her eyes as she heard someone thudding down the stairs.

"Elena what's wrong? Who's at the door?" She heard a male voice ask. Elena shook her head, as she opened the door wider. A tallish male with spiky blondish hair and brown eyes came into view.

"Stefan, I'd like you to meet my best friend, Alexis Langton. Lexi, I'd like you to meet my boyfriend, Stefan Salvatore."

"Nice to meet you." Alexis said, sticking her hand out towards Stefan.

"You too." Stefan replied, shaking her hand. He looked at Elena, confusion evident on his face. He'd never heard Elena mention Alexis before. There was more thudding on the stairs as someone else came down them.

"Elena, you ready to go? We've gotta meet Bonnie before school starts." A male voice said, as he came into view. His jaw dropped as he saw Alexis standing outside the door. "Lexi? Oh my God!" He exclaimed hugging her.

"Hey Jer, how've you been?" She replied, grinning.

"I've been okay. What are you doing here? I thought you were at College for a while?"

"Yeah… About that.. I kinda dropped out." She admitted, trying to not look at Elena.

"You WHAT?" Elena yelled, overly confused. She was wondering why Alexis was back, but she never assumed that was the reason why. "Why?"

"I needed to get away. I just couldn't stand being away from here anymore." She replied, guilt evident in her voice. "I missed you guys." Elena looked at her, her eyes filling with tears.

"We missed you too Lexi. I'm glad that you're back." She said, hugging her once more.

"Thanks." She replied. Stefan forcibly coughed behind Elena.

"I'm sorry to break this up, but we really need to get to school." He said.

"That's okay, I'll go explore town a bit, see if anything has changed." Alexis replied.

"I promise I'll be back after school and we can get caught up. You're staying here right?" Elena asked.

"Well, I-" Alexis began.

"Come on Lexi, you know that you're more than welcome to stay here. Jenna will freak when she sees you." Jeremy said. Alexis smiled, nodding.

"Okay. I'll stay. Now get to school before you're late!" She said, hugging Elena and Jeremy once again. They headed out to Elena's jeep. "It was nice to meet you Stefan." "You too." He replied as he opened Elena's car door for her and got inside. The three drove off as Alexis sighed.

"That went soo much better than I thought it would." Alexis thought as she got into her Impala and headed down towards Mystic Grill.
