I don't own the vampire diaries or any of the characters. I am just obsessed with them ;)
Dear Diary,
I know it sounds crazy but I miss Dad already. He has just left for two days and it feels like ages. Maybe it is because after mom died he is all I have…and Jeremy of course. But last year Jeremy went to college and I was left alone with Dad. I used to do every single thing with him. I know and love how much he was trying to fill for my mom. He even refused to date, no matter how much I try, no matter how much I tell him that he should be happy and that I am okay with him dating. He just shrugs and says that it is not only about me but he can't imagine himself with another woman than mom. Sometimes I think I will never find a man like my father, loyal, passionate and selfless, maybe a bit overprotective. So I had to be selfless with him for once. That job trip he has been dreaming about since ever. It will be four months until I can see him again. It is hard and he wanted to quit but i insisted. Besides, I don't mind staying with Auntie Jenna. I love her so much and she is kind and fun. She reminds me of mom and she loves me and Jeremy like her own children. She couldn't be happier that I came to stay with her saying "we will have so much fun together". She is only ten years older than me so…not very parent. I also met her boyfriend Alaric several times on our family nights. He is really nice, handsome and funny, perfect for Jenna. You can even feel the love in the air whenever they are together. It has been two days since I moved in her and tomorrow I have to go to school. It is my first day as the new student. God, I hate being the new girl. I was always the popular one with many friends. Anna, April and Matte, I miss them all already. Tomorrow I will have to play "let's be besties" all over again. I don't know if I can do it and even if I manage to make friends I will be leaving them behind in a few months anyway…
Elena stopped writing when she heard a sound coming from the bathroom which was right beside her bedroom. Her auntie was surely asleep and it was terribly late. Her heart started beating faster in her chest, it could be a thief. She reached under her bed slowly for the baseball bat she brought with her so it would remind her of Jeremy. Tightening her hands around the bat she tiptoed toward the bathroom door and opened it carefully. She peeked her head to look inside and found a dark haired head behind the lid of the first aid chest. What kind of a thief would steal meds? She got closer and swung the bat letting it land hard on the stranger's head.
"eww" he groaned falling to the ground. His hand reached to rub his injured head. Elena swung the bat to hit him again but he raised his arms over his head protectively.
"Stop, Stop. I quit" Came his velvet deep voice. Elena squeezed the bat tightly. Get a grip, Elena. "Who the hell are you?" he demanded without lifting his head of the floor.
"I am the one who should be asking" Elena scowled holding the bat up carefully in an attack position. "You are in my aunt's home"
"You are Jenna's niece?" he looked up finally with a frown. Damn it, why is he soo…she got lost for a bit in his ocean blue eyes. Stop, Elena. She raised the bat in a warning when he tried to stand up.
"Down, Buffy. Let me talk first" he said holding his hands up in surrender.
"Talk" she hissed tightening her grape on the weapon in her hands.
"Throw that stupid bat first so we can talk like normal people" he said furiously but slowly like he is talking to a five-years-old child. God, she was so damn stubborn.
"No, I don't..." she didn't get to finish as two strong hands were wrapped around her bare ankles making her lose her balance. The next thing she knew she settled between his legs with his arm wrapped behind her back supporting her. Their faces are inches apart. He took the bat from her trembling hands effortlessly and threw it away. It made a ringing sound on as it landed on the bathroom floor but the sound didn't manage to break the spell he was under. He didn't care; he was completely lost in those big brown doe eyes that were staring into his. Elena's breath hitched as she felt like her skin was in fire. The intensity of his gaze made the air escape her lungs and she suddenly found it hard to breath.
"Now we can talk" he said. His voice is a hoarse whisper that sent shivers down her spine. She opened her mouth but couldn't form any words.
"Elena, Damon, What the hell is going on?" Jenna's sleepy but akind panicked voice broke their eye contact. They looked up at her but neither of them made a move to change their position.
"Ric is sick" Damon stated, his voice full of worry and concern. Pure panic crept into Jenna's feature while Elena gaped at both of them with lost eyes.
Jenna took one last look on Alaric's sleeping form before leaving his room with Damon and Elena, closing the door.
"He will be fine tomorrow morning" Jenna said in a worried shaky whisper.
"Hey" her teary gaze turned to Damon. "Don't worry, Jenna. You know it happened before and he was just fine, okay?" he assured her with a serious face.
"I know, Damon" she groaned. "And I know that happens every year in this time. He catches the flu but I can't help but worry"
"I understand" he nodded.
"So" she smiled knowingly. "You are gonna tell me what happened with you two?"
"I..." Damon cleared his throat but felt his checks heat when he recalled their previous position and what did help were the erotic thoughts he was having about Jenna's niece in that position and many other position in that matter. Get a grip, Salvatore. Thank god the room was dark so they can't see his flushed face. "I told you I was looking for the meds for Ric, we ran out of it" he managed out while Elena didn't seem to recover yet from her speechless status.
"Yes" Jenna sighed. "But how did you ended up with my niece in top of you on my bathroom floor?" Jenna took no mercy on his self-control. Damn it, she is probably just a kid. You can't think of her like this. But his skin was still burning from touching her earlier. Shut up, Salvatore.
"I think you should ask your niece who walks around with a baseball bat hitting innocent people" he smirks to mask his flipping out of control state. God knows he was anything but innocent. Elena groaned in anger. Damn it, stop making those sexy noises please, will you?
"I heard a noise coming from the bathroom so I took the bat and went there where I found him" she spit the word in fury. He was so unnerving with that cool attitude or maybe she was just mad at herself for what she felt in his arms earlier. "He was looking through the first aid chest so I thought he was a thief and I hi…" two load laughs stopped her from finishing her story. They were laughing at her, what the hell?
"Excuse me" Damon was the first to speak as his laughter began to cease. "You thought I was a thief who steals meds? Perfect, Sherlock" he placed his palm on his chest as another wave of laughter hit him. Elena's face turned red in fury. She glanced at Jenna with an accusing look.
"Sorry, Elena but he is akind right" Jenna said as she stopped laughing finally. Elena heard Damon deep chuckle and she could picture his smug face even though she can't see him. "I still don't know how you were on the floor"
"I fall when she hit me, she tried to hit me again, I told her we need to talk but she should throw the bat." Damon explained. "She was so damn stubborn and wouldn't listen" he rolled his eyes. "So I pulled her from her ankles and she fell on me. I took the bat away myself and then you come in" he shrugged trying to sound unaffected but couldn't help the images of her doe eyes staring at him, the feel of her small body in his arms. He knew he shouldn't be fantasizing about Jenna's niece but he was a man and she wouldn't get out of his mind.
Jenna took a moment to process. "Well, that makes perfect sense now since I know how stubborn Elena can be" she smirks at the furious Elena and then turned to a smirking Damon. "But I can't believe that she managed to get your ass on the ground with a bat" she teased him.
"Well, I managed to get her down in my arms with my bare hands, so I guess I win" he shrugged and Elena couldn't help but blush at the double meaning in his statement.
"I could have hit him again if he hadn't mentioned your name" Elena hissed more forcefully than she meant. Maybe if I sound angry they won't see my blushing face, Damn it.
"wanna bet?" he challenged waggling his brows.
"Yes" she challenged back.
"You two stop perking. Elena, Damon is too handsome to be beaten" Jenna said with a smirk. Elena gaped at her aunt while Damon looked so smug, she wanted to wipe that arrogant smirk of his face.
"Damon" Jenna frowned suddenly. "you okay? I mean your head?"
"I fine, Jenna. Don't worry about it" he grins at her. "she is just a little girl" he winks.
"a little girl who get you on the floor" Elena hissed. Is that what he thought of her? Just a little girl?
"you surprised me." He shrugged. "I wasn't expecting you" Elena opened her mouth for witty remark but Jenna cut her off.
"Enough, I am getting a headache from you two" she shouted in frustration.
"Voice, Jenna" Elena whispered. "Alaric"
"I am sorry, I am just…" she sighed.
"go home and sleep well. I will take care of him" Damon said, All humor and teasing gone of his voice.
"No" Jenna shakes her head refusing. " I am not leaving him, I will stay"
"He will be fine" he placed his hands on her shoulder comforting her. "you look tired, don't you trust me?"
"I do but I just wanna stay with him" she willed him to understand, her big green eyes wide and desperate. "I can't go home knowing he is here sick, I won't be able to sleep"
"Fine" he gave in sighing. "Whatever makes you comfortable" his hands dropping to his sides.
"I will go home if you don't need me" Elena said with sympathy.
"I will be fine but you can't stay there alone, honey. Can you stay here for tonight, I will feel less bad about myself if you do, I am…" Jenna swallowed her eyes tearing up. Elena didn't know what to say.
"you can stay in my room and I will just sleep here in the coach.
"No" Elena shakes her head. "I can't take your room, I will…"
"Elena" he cut her off, her name rolling of his tongue "I will stay here anyway to be close to Ric in case he needs me"
"Fine" she gave in. "I will stay" she looked at Jenna smiling soothingly.
"Thanks, sweetie" Jenna smiled back.
"come on, I will show you the room" Damon said.
I found this story among my old stuff, so I thought I should make something of her. I have had started it last year and it is almost finished so I guess the updates will be faster. Tell me if it is good or not ?
