Hello, everyone. My name is silverbellbaby. This story 'I love the way you lie' was previously written by Jen2626. She had four chapters completed, but decided to stop writing it. I am one of the readers who enjoyed this story, so I asked her for her permission to continue it. She told me she would not be continuing it, so she gave me her blessing to write it. The first four chapters she wrote will stay in effect, but I did my best to fix the errors as she stated she had some in the story. I think this story is well written regardless so I hope you enjoy my spin on things after Chapter 4. I hope you will let me know what you think so I know if I'm doing okay with resuming this story. I know her followers already reviewed the first four chapters, but if you choose to review again, feel free. For those of you that are new to this story, I hope you will consider leaving feedback as every writer likes to hear how they're doing. Like Jen2626 said in her Author's Note at the beginning of her story, the first 4 chapters go by quick, meaning lots of things happen. She stated in her A/N some people weren't too happy with the fast paced storylines, but she preferred it. With me, I do my best not to do that as I feel it should be at a moderate pace. I'm not sure whether that is a good thing or not, so you can let me know if you choose to. I have a few chapters already written past Chapter 4, but this story will NOT be updated regularly as I have other stories in progress. I hope that will not persuade you from not reading/leaving feedback.

I also have some other Damon/Stefan/Elena stories I'm currently writing if you're interested. They are not posted yet, but I'm hoping to soon. Feel free to let me know what you think when I do post. I'm waiting till I have enough written on those as well. As you will find out in Chapter 5 of 'I Love the Way You Lie', my writing is different than Jen2626's as well as other writers. It is in play format. I write that way for all my stories. I hope you will still read/let me know what you think. If you ever have any questions, feel free to send them my way. I'd rather you ask me then be frustrated and stop reading if you're enjoying the story. I didn't change the original author's writing methods as I didn't want to risk changing the story. Thank you to those who read/review. Thank you for listening. Happy reading. Words written in italics means someone is thinking to themselves. I don't own VD, but I do own the plot (well, after Chapter 4, that is).

Title: I love the way you lie

Summary: Elena lied to Damon years ago, making him believe that she cheated on him. He comes back to Mystic Falls and finds out the truth. She had his child and kept her a secret all these years. He is determined not to let her get away this time. All characters are human. R&R.

Chapter 1

(Elena woke up to the sound of birds chirping. She yawned and walked into the kitchen. Angel was sitting on the couch eating cereal and watching cartoons. I looked at the kitchen and it was trashed, cereal was spilled all over the table and even on the floor. I sighed at the thought that she had to get into everything and make a mess. She was only four so I had to give her some credit for making breakfast herself)

Elena: "Angel, when you're finished eating come help me clean this up, ok?"

She looked at me and smiled, "Okay, mama."

(Sometimes when she smiled at me like that she looked like her father. She makes a lot of the same expressions that he made. Not to mention she has his blue eyes and dark hair. I still wonder sometimes if I made the right choice not telling him that I got pregnant)

***Flashback***

(Elena was getting more nervous the closer she got to the boarding house. She is pregnant with Damon Salvatore's baby. How could she tell him this? She can't….no he would try and talk her into an abortion. Or he might just leave when she has the baby after he realizes he can't handle being a father. She was going to have to raise this baby on her own. But what will she tell Damon? Elena sighs)

She drove up and shakily got out, Elena knocked on the door and Stefan answered. "Hey Elena."

"Hi…um is Damon here?" Please say no, please say no, please say no.

Stefan: "Yeah, he's up in his room, go on up."

Elena slowly went up to his room and knocked. No one answered so she just went in. "Damon?" I called out softly. He came out of the bathroom shirtless and drying his hair.

He smirked at me, "Trying to get a peek?"

I smiled at him then frowned remembering why I came over. "Damon…we need to talk."

Damon: "Ugh. Oh, that doesn't sound good."

(He looked at me with a worried expression on his face)

Elena: "It's not…Damon I don't know how to tell you this so I'm just going to blurt it out."

Damon: "Alright."

Elena: "A week ago I got drunk and slept with someone else….and I'm pregnant."

His eyes widen and then he sat on the bed and glared at me. "Who did you sleep with?"

Elena: (muttered) "It doesn't matter."

Damon: "Elena! I deserve to know who you cheated on me with!"

Shit I didn't think this through. I had to come up with a name and quick. "Um….it was Matt…" Yeah that makes sense after all he is my ex-boyfriend.

His blue eyes got darker. "Matt? The bus boy?" He asked incredulously. He always has hated Matt, but he's never given me a real reason behind it other than he annoys him.

I nodded, "Yes." I hated hurting him like this, but I didn't have any other choice.

Damon: (angrily) "Elena, leave!"

Elena: (surprised) "W-what?"

Damon: (snarled angrily) "Get out! I don't ever want to see you again, understand?!"

(Elena ran out of the boarding house crying. Stefan tried to stop her but she pushed past him sobbing. The next day Stefan called me up and told me Damon left town)

***Present***

(Elena hasn't seen Damon since then. Elena couldn't think about him it's just too hard. She loved him so much, but Damon isn't the type of guy that wants to be tied down with a kid. After Angel finished eating, we cleaned up the kitchen and went summer shopping. She loved the mall and she was only four. We shopped for a few hours and then we met up with Caroline for lunch)

"Hey Care." I said as I sat down.

(She smiled at me then pats Angel's hair. Angel grinned up at her. She loved any attention she could get)

Angel: "Mama, can I get chicken fingers?"

I nodded and watched as Angel colored in her coloring book. Matt came to the table and took our orders. "So, Care, how are you and Tyler doing?"

Caroline: (looking away) "Fine."

Elena: (raising my eyebrow) "Care?"

Caroline: (sighs) "Tyler is insane over this Klaus thing, I can't even bring up Klaus's name without him getting piss-" (looks over at Angel) "I mean angry, he thinks Klaus is going to steal me away."

Elena: "Is he? Do you have feelings for him?"

Caroline: (moves her head around & stutters) "N-No. Y-Yes. I-I don't know. But even if I do, I'm not going to do anything about it. Tyler and I have gone through a lot and just because I might have feelings for him doesn't mean I'll run into Klaus's arms."

Elena: "Does Klaus have the same feelings for you?"

Caroline: "Yeah, lately he's been doing everything in his power to come between Tyler and me. He's been flirting with me nonstop. Not to mention he and Tyler are threatening to kill each other."

Elena: "I wish I could give you some advice, but it's a tough situation."

Caroline: (mutters) "Tell me about it."

(After Matt brings out our food, we start to eat. Angel was having trouble opening the ketchup. She squeezed it too hard and it squirted some guy in the back of the head. He turned around and glared)

Angel: (eyes widened) "Oops, sorry mister."

(He muttered and angrily got up and left. When he walked out, Caroline and stared at each other for a moment and started to laugh hysterically. Angel smiled as if she was pleased with herself for making us laugh)

"What's so funny ladies?" A familiar voice said from behind me. Caroline's eyes got huge. I turned quickly.

"Damon?"

Chapter 1 Done

Thank you all for reading. This was the first chapter of Jen2626's story. I edited it a little. If you have any comments/opinions, feel free to share as I'd love to hear them. All that I ask is you please be respectful as no writer likes to have someone yelling at them about something. Constructive criticism is welcomed. Also, in the beginning of this story, the original author mentioned she would be doing a side story of Caroline/Klaus/Tyler and their drama as well. Being I'm continuing this story, my question for you is...do you want Caroline with Klaus or Tyler? I know everyone has their preference and I want everyone to be able to have their say on the topic. Consider this a poll for future chapters. I will let you know when the time comes for the poll to be done. FYI: the most popular answer will be used. Meaning, if there are more Klaus answers, Klaus will be with Caroline down the line. If there are more Tyler answers, Tyler will be with Caroline. Whatever decision is made in the end, I hope you will respect it and still enjoy the story. So far, I have two extra chapters completed after Chapter 4, but I want to know your opinions on my poll as well as this chapter if you want me to continue. I have a Klaroline story already being posted on the site if you're a Klaroline fan called 'A Thousand Years' by the singer Christina Perri. If you're Tyler/Caroline fans, I have a few stories with them included but it is also a Elena/Damon/Stefan story as well. I'm hoping to post those (I have 3 Elena/Damon/Stefan stories I'm currently working on) soon. I hope you will consider looking out for them. Until next time!
