1. What would I do without him?
Family. That's the first thought that creeps into my mind this morning. Today is Monday. Again. So I start to get ready for school. Again. While I get dressed I'm thinking about the fact that I haven't seen Damon since Friday night at Lockwood's party.
Damon Salvatore is my best friend since we were like three years old. He's my neighbor and his parents and mine are like a family. Damon has a younger brother, Stefan.
The thing is I've had a crush on Damon since I was fifteen, but I'm not planning acting on it anytime soon. Because what if everything goes to hell and I lose my best friend? Sure I'd still have Caroline Forbes, but I don't think I'd be able to live without Damon.
My mom interrupts my thoughts entering my room.
"Hey, honey, how are you doing?"
"Good, I'm almost done"
"Okay, well, breakfast is waiting and Damon will be here in ten minutes to go to school."
"I'll be right there."
When she leaves I don't put makeup on. Never have. Probably never will. I'm one of those persons who never understood the concept of putting makeup on. I don't know, I've never felt like I needed it. Even though I'm not especially beautiful, I like myself. I mean 'why not?'
I go downstairs to have breakfast and I find my little brother already up, even though he didn't have to be in school in two hours. He is 7 years old.
"Hey, little Jer," I say while I rub his hair "You don't have to be up yet"
"I know, but Stefan is coming to play before school" I love the way his eyes lit up whenever he says Stefan's name. His best friend and Damon's little brother.
"That's cool, Jer. When will he be here?" I say as I eat my breakfast. I have to admit my mother Miranda knows how to cook.
"In half an hour"
In that moment the bell rings. Damon is here. I clean the table and go to open the door with my backpack on my shoulder.
When I open the door I find Damon wearing a sleeveless t-shirt which makes his biceps show in a really sinful way. He's smirking at me. His signature smirk. The one that makes me weak in the knees even though I've seen it almost every day for fifteen years more or less.
"Hey, Elena," He says in a sing-song voice and my name rolling off his tongue in a way that I love.
"Hey, Damon," I answer imitating his sing-song voice.
We stare at each other for what feels like years until he breaks the heavy silence.
"Ready to go?" He says clearing his throat.
"Yeah. Let's go"
We get into his Camaro and speed off down the street. I love this car, it was his mom's, but she doesn't use it anymore, so Lily gave it to Damon. This car brings back a lot of memories, good and bad ones.
I can feel the tears running down my cheeks as I run through the streets of Mystic Falls. I can't believe that just happened. I just broke up with Matt. I really liked him, and it turns out he is a jerk. He was cheating on me. He was freaking cheating on me with Bonnie freaking Bennet. That bitch…
My thoughts are interrupted as my vision is so blurred that I don't see anything, so I trip, falling to the ground. I cry out in pain as I feel my finger twist in an awkward position. Fuck, this is just not my day.
I try to stand up, but it's useless, I hurt my knee too. But suddenly I see as someone approaches me and helps me get up. I'm about to say thanks and wipe my tears away when I realize that the one holding me in his arms is none other than Damon Salvatore. I don't have to pretend with him so I don't have to hide my wet face.
He gently grabs my chin with his fingers and makes me look into his penetrating blue eyes. They're full of concern.
"Elena, are you hurt?"
"Just a little, I'm fine" I answer stubbornly.
"No, you're not. I'm bringing you home now."
I don't have to ask to know that he wants the full story of what happened and who does he need to kick.
He so gently seats me in his Camaro and I wince as my leg bends.
He kisses my forehead and seats in the driver seat. I can hear the rock music playing on the radio and it relaxes me. I love rock.
I can feel as he watches me in the corner of his eye. What would I do without him?
As the car stops, I realize that we've arrived and we're in the middle of the parking lot. We both get out and start walking towards the entrance. Facing yet another Monday.
AN: I hope you really like it. Thanks so much for reading it. This is my first fanfic ever so please be patient and just stuck with me if you like it. This first chapter is short because I'm testing myself. I'm hoping for a 30 chapters story or maybe more.
