John and Isobel
Over the last few days Lily stayed to herself for the most part, and when she went down stairs one morning she ran smack into John, Elena Jenna and Alaric.
"Uh... Hello?" She asked, looking at them and they all turned to her. "Uncle John, hey."
"Hey, Lily." He said to her.
"Okay, well, I'm getting breakfast." Lily said, walking past the others and started making her a bowl of cereal.
"It's okay I'm confused, right? Because we were not expecting you, like, ever." Jenna told the man with a confused frown.
"Well, I got in late last night. Elena let me in." John said shortly.
"You know, I'm uh, probably just gonna take off." Alaric said, giving Elena a strange look before leaving.
"I'm still confused here." Jenna said, frowning in confusion.
"I decided to come back and stay for a while." John said to her.
"Not here, you're not." Jenna scoffed.
"Actually, you can't stop me from living here."
"Actually I can, as legal guardian." Jenna told him.
"Yeah, about that...um, Elena, you want me to explain the situation, or would you like to do the honors?" John asked and Lily and Jenna glanced at each other with a confused frown.
"Okay, what's going on?" Lily asked and they glanced at her.
"I'm sorry. I should have told you earlier, but--" Before Elena could finish John interrupted her.
"I'm Lily and Elena's biological father. There, now you know." John said, walking away from them.
"What?!" Jenna yelled as Lily stumbled backwards, dropping her bowl to the ground as it shattered across the floor. In less than two seconds she not only found out that she was adopted, she also found out that her uncle is her bio dad, and her twin knew and never bothered to say anything.
"Lily!" Elena said with wide eyes, but the witch ignored her as she stepped over the shattered bowl and ran after the man.
When she caught up to him she grabbed him and shoved him against the door.
"Tell me you're lying. Tell me you didn't just say that. Tell me I'm not adopted. Tell me that you're not my bio dad. Tell me my family hasn't been lying to me my whole life, and my twin has been lying for who knows how long. Tell me and I'll believe it. I want to believe it. Tell me you're lying." She said, tears coming to her eyes, but she refused to let them fall.
"Lily I-"
"Oh my God." Lily said, letting go of the man and stumbling backwards slightly.
"Lily..." Came the voice of Elena from behind her and she turned to her and Jenna, the latter who was watching cautiously, knowing how angry Lily can get.
"How long have you known?" Lily asked her.
"A few months." Elena muttered.
"Oh my God. And I assume you knew." Lily said to Jenna, who nodded. "Does Jeremy know?" No answer. "Oh my God... And everyone else?" No answer. "So everyone knew but me?"
"You weren't here-"
Before Elena could finish Lily grabbed her by her hair and yanked her to the floor, straddling her before she just started swinging, tears falling from her face. By the time Jenna and John pulled Lily off of the girl Elena already had a broken nose. When Lily yanked herself away from them she punched John in the face before she ran away from them and out the front door, ignoring as they called after her as she got onto her motorcycle and drove off.
When she finally stopped driving she was at the town sign. She got off, throwing her helmet to the ground as she dug out her phone and called the one number she always called.
"Hello, luv-"
"Did you know?" Lily asked through the tears.
"Lily, luv, are you alright? What's wrong."
"I'm adopted- did you know?!" She asked again, knowing he knew a lot.
"I only found out a few days ago. I was going to tell you the next time you called, or I saw you." He told her and she gave a bitter laugh.
"Everyone's lying to me. You, Jenna, Elena, Jeremy, my parents, even John." She cried as she sat down with her back against her bike. "I just wish that for once someone would be honest with me."
She hung up before he could answer and sat there, tears flowing freely from her face as she did so.

Lily stayed away from the house and everyone else for the next few days, staying at a hotel as she did so. She ignored the calls and texts she got from everyone, but she did listen to the messages she was being left.
When she finally did go home she was met with Jenna walking to a woman on the front porch.
"Hello?" She said and they both turned to her as she frowned. "What's going on? Who are you?" Lily asked as she stepped into the house, she could tell the woman was a vampire, and that's what made her get into the house so quickly.
"Hi. You met be Jenna, and you must be Lily. I'm your and Elena's mother." The woman said and Lily stumbled back slightly in shock.
"Isobel." Elena said and both Jenna and Lily whipped around to her with wide eyes.
"Hello, Elena. It's nice to see you again." The woman greeted the girl.
"Again?" Jenna asked and Lily shook her head.
"So first you lie to me about mom, dad, and John, and now you're lying about Isobel? I listened and read the messages, you told me she was dead, you bitch!" Lily said in anger, wanting to take another swing at her.
"So you're the woman who's dating my husband. I need to speak to Elena and Lily. May I come in?"
"N-n-no. Don't...don't invite her in." Elena started stuttering.
"I need to talk to you, Elena, Lily." Isobel said, sounding slightly panicked.
"No!" Elena yelled before she slammed the door in Isobel's face and turned to Lily and Jenna, both of who were crying.
"You knew she was still alive? Ric? John? Did they know?" Jenna asked the girl who looked down ashamed, before looking back at them.
"I can explain everything." She tried, stepping towrds the two who backed up.
"No. You've done enough." Lily said and both of them turned around and headed upstairs as Elena chased them.
Lily ignored her twin as she made it into her room and slammed and locked the door behind her, not wanting to listen to anymore of her twin's lies. She sat there and cried, she cried in frustration of every single lie that was floating through the air. She couldn't wait to be able to tell Elena's she'd been lying about knowing Klaus, and watch as her world falls down. She knew it wouldn't have the exact same effect, but she knew it would hurt Elena, and that's exactly what she wanted right now.
To hurt her.
