Technically Elena shouldn't be drinking. The whole being underage thing. Not even, she was...19, which was weird enough. Apparently she had forgotten her birthday. Whatever the case though, legally she should not be going to an open call by Captain Freaking Hook of all people to get drunk but that was exactly what she was doing.
Jeremy was gone. Ric was gone. Okay, the Ric who hadn't tried to kill her, because why would she get something easy? No. Mystic Falls had to rear it's complicated messiness in Beacon Hills as well with two versions of Ric. She had lost two more people she cared about and she was just so tired. Not to mention there had been an issue with where she had hit her head and it had been a good thing Allison had insisted she go to the hospital to get it checked out. (Now she just had to worry about paying.)
Fake ID in hand, the brunette entered the pub and noticed where Dean was, moving over to where they were and just taking a seat.
"Hi. I'm Elena, unofficial younger sister to Dean." With that, she just took the pint from Dean and took a drink before giving it back.
