Elena Gilbert walked up the stairs slowly. She'd turned eighteenth today but it wasn't as fun as she'd hoped. Sure, she'd had a party, with Stefan, Bonnie, Matt, and all of her other friends but Damon wasn't there.
She sighed softly. Things had been so awkward between them since Isobel had told her he loved her. He seemed more distant, try to keep a distance. He was also drinking more, she'd noticed many empty bottles in the Salvatore living room.
Elena's birthday had been wonderful. Stefan had taken her out all day while everyone else had been planing the suprise party. He'd gotten her a beautiful promise ring with a light blue diamond set in a sterling silver ring. Bonnie had given her a 'healing potion' and her real gift was a silky blue shirt she'd had her eye on. Jeremy had drew a picture of her and Stefan and framed it. Matt and Caroline had gotten a gift card to anywhere.
She opened her door, half thinking Damon would be laying across her bed with a bow tied to him saying, 'I'm your present, come unwrap me.' But he was no where to be seen. She sighed again and went into her bathroom for a shower. When she came out there were a few silver wrapped boxes laying on the bed. She walked over and picked up the card. She opned it and Damons's writing was on the inside.
'Sorry, I didn't make it to the party, but I got your presents anyway.
Love,
Damon.'
Elena slightly smiled and picked up a rectangular box. She easily unwrapped it and opened the box. Inside was a picture her and Damon in Atlanta. The frame had red roses in the top left cornor and bottom right with twisted black steams as the frame part. She laid it on the bed and picked up a smaller one. Inside was a locket. She opened it and inside was a picture of her on one and Damon on the other. Engraved on the back was Ti amo (I Love You in Italian). She looked at the last box, obviously a CD. She ripped the paper off and fliped it over.
A Girl - The Acadmey Is...
And Me - Life house
Green Tractor - Jason Aldean
4. The Truth - Jason Aldean
5. The Reason - Hoobastank
Girl – The Temptations
Like You - Kieth Urban
's Gotta Be - Keith Urban
Elena starred at the Cd in shock. She loved those song and she and Damon sung them once. She grabed her phone and found his nuber.
'Thank you for the gifts.'
A moment later her phone binged signaling a new text.
'I love you.'
My songs won't work right. They are About a Girl, You and me, Big Green Tractor, The truth, The reason, My girl, Somebody like you, and she's gotta be. Sorry for that. Computres suck!
