Hey guys! So I decided to make another story! For those who are reading my other story Back in Time don't worry I'm not quitting on it, and yes I know I haven't updated in a while I'm sorry! Anyway back to this story I hope you like it! The first chapter won't be that long because it's an intro but I think I will have the next chapter out by tomorrow so don't worry you guys won't have to wait that long. Oh and just a warning at the beginning of the story Damon will seem ooc and I know but the only way I can make my story the way I want it is if he is. So, yeah. Anyway without further ado my story!
"Damon, wait!" Elena shouted running after Damon.
"What do you want, Elena" Damon snapped.
Elena flinched at his harsh tone and didn't make any more advances forward. Elena was confused. She did not know what was going on. Just the other day they were fine and happier than ever, and then last night he wouldn't return any of her texts or calls and now this. He was mad at her, that much was obvious. Elena just wished she knew why.
"Y-you're mad at me." Elena stated.
Damon scoffed, "Really? What gave that away?"
Elena ignored the sarcasm that oozed from Damon's voice. It was ugly and it was the first time he had ever used this kind of tone with her. Clearly he thought she had done something but Elena couldn't remember what she did in the past twenty-four hours that could possibly have made him this mad at her.
"I don't know why." Elena said.
"Don't give me that Elena." Damon said.
"No, Damon…" Elena tried again.
Damon stopped her, "You know what Elena I really don't feel like arguing right now. I'll see you later."
With that Damon walked down the hall without so much as a glance back.
Elena stood there and put a hand to her chest to keep all the pieces together, because she was sure everything was falling apart, or at least that's what it felt like. A sharp pain ran through her whole body and she began to cry.
The bell ring and everyone was in their class except Elena. She just stood there in the middle of the hallway wondering what she had done and trying to handle the heartbreaking pain she now felt.
-One month Earlier-
"Elena, hurry up! We're going to be late for school." Caroline called.
Elena groaned and pulled the covers over her head. It was too early! Whoever decided that it was a good idea to have school start at 7 a.m. was crazy!
Last night Elena had stayed up late working on the huge pile of homework she had to do for all of her classes. Usually it wasn't that bad but Elena had been sick the week before and now all the work was catching up to her. She had managed to finish it but that meant she had to stay up until three in the morning to get it done. Now it was six o'clock and all Elena wanted to do was sleep.
"Go away Caroline!" Elena called.
"Don't make me come up there! I swear, Elena, you know I will." Caroline called back.
Sighing Elena got out of bed and got ready for school. After brushing her teeth, getting dressed, and grabbing her bag Elena made her way down the stairs.
"Happy," Elena asked.
"Very," Caroline responded with a smile that should be illegal this early in the morning.
Looking down at her phone Caroline noticed the time and shrieked.
"Oh my gosh! We have to go! Bye Jenna!" Caroline yelled down the hall.
"Bye Caroline, you too Elena," Elena could hear her Aunt call from down the hall.
Caroline grabbed Elena's wrist and practically dragged her out of the door and into the car. Elena rolled her eyes at her overenthusiastic friend. They went through this routine every single day, and every single day they would arrive at the school at the same exact time no matter how late Caroline claimed they would be. Still Elena couldn't help but find it endearing. Caroline had been Elena's best friend since they were in diapers and learned to expect this kind of enthusiasm from the blonde.
Pulling into their usual spot in the school parking lot Caroline turned off the car and they both got out heading toward their friends.
"Hey guys," Caroline said.
"Hey," the group said back.
"I'm glad you're feeling better Elena." Bonnie said giving Elena a hug.
"Thanks Bon." Elena said.
Bonnie was Elena's best friend about as long as Caroline was. The three practically grew up together and were barely seen separated. Especially since Bonnie started spending more time over at Elena's house after becoming Jeremy's girlfriend.
Jeremy was Elena's little brother but only by a year. They weren't biologically brother and sister but after Elena's real parents gave her to Jeremy's mom and dad when she was just a baby Elena decided he might as well be her brother. They were actually really close and could almost pass as twins. Jeremy had brown hair and brown eyes that were similar to Elena's.
"She was only sick Bonnie, it's not like she was on her death bed give her some space." Klaus commented.
"Just because you don't have a heart doesn't mean I don't" Bonnie commented back.
Klaus pretended to be wounded," I do happen to have a heart thank you very much."
"Why don't you show it every once and a while then?" Rose questioned in her British accent.
"Just because I'm not as sappy as the rest of you doesn't mean I don't have a heart. I mean if I had to keep up with you guys I would have to be writing love poems every other day and giving every person I see in the hallway a hug." Klaus reasoned.
"We're not that bad." Caroline defended.
"You see, sweetheart, that's where you're wrong." Klaus insisted.
"Oh just drop it Klaus," Rose said rolling her eyes. "It's good to see you up and alive, Elena."
"Thanks Rose." Elena laughed.
Rose was a small girl with brown hair that kind of looked like Alice Cullen and had brown eyes. She was one of the spunky ones in the group. She would always speak her mind and she didn't care if you wanted to hear it or not. Most of the group usually came to her for advice if she wasn't the one coming to you. She has a knack for telling you what you need to hear whether you want to hear it or not. Most of the group appreciated it except Klaus who's overall personality practically pushes anyone away as soon as things didn't go how he like them too.
Klaus was a strawberry blonde with brown eyes. Like Rose, Klaus has a British accent. He and his family moved from England about two years ago and Klaus kind of just fit right in. Klaus's other siblings decided to find their own clicks and some stuck together but usually you didn't really find them near each other. Every time one of their groups clashed the siblings would always bicker and it wouldn't end until someone broke it up. When it came down to it though, Klaus and his family were really close and always had each other's backs.
"So, did you guys finish the report we had to do for History?" Bonnie asked.
"Ugh, don't remind me I only got the outline done." Rose groaned.
Klaus smirked, "Even I got further than that."
"Whatever." Rose stuck her tongue out.
"I got about half way done, what about you Bonnie?" Caroline asked.
"Oh I didn't get far I was just wondering how far you guys were. What about you Elena?" Bonnie asked.
Elena blushed, "I finished mine last night."
The whole group stared making Elena's already red cheeks darken.
"How did you manage that? You were sick for a whole week!" Klaus asked.
"She spent all last night doing homework." Jeremy answered for his sister.
"It's not healthy to skip sleep Elena. You know I'm pretty sure the teachers would have allowed you to wait a couple of days before you had to turn you assignments in." Rose said concerned for her friend.
Elena sighed," I know but I don't like being behind."
Klaus just laughed, "I would use being sick as an excuse to not do my homework."
"Just because you're sick doesn't mean you don't do your homework Klaus." Caroline pointed out.
Klaus shrugged. They continued their chat and somehow the argument changed to where they were now debating on if Hulk or Thor would win in a fight. It was quite entertaining. The argument was getting more and more ridiculous as Klaus began making facts up when Caroline whispered to Elena.
"Don't look but I think someone is watching you." Caroline whispered.
"What?" Elena asked confused. Despite Caroline's warning Elena began to look around to see who she was talking about.
"I said don't look!" Caroline said in an urgent whisper.
"Well then tell me what you're talking about." Elena said.
"I've been watching him for a while now. He always hangs out in that corner every morning with that other guy and he's always watching you." Caroline said.
This only made Elena more confused, "How do you know he's not just looking in this general direction or at the group?"
"Because every time you look in his general direction he looks away," Caroline said.
"What corner?" Elena asked.
"The South one. It's only a couple of cars away." Caroline whispered.
Elena took the risk and looked up. Elena's gaze was met with a pair of dazzling blue eyes. The connection only lasted a second though as the guy immediately put his head down face now flushed at being caught. Elena was startled that she never noticed him before. He had jet black hair and a leather jacket. The guy next to him had brown hair and brown eyes. He seemed to be teasing his friend and bumping his shoulder. Whatever his friend said seemed to have embarrassed the guy with the blue eyes more because his cheeks were even darker.
Caroline made a noise that was close to a squeal shaking Elena out of her reverie.
"I think he likes you." Caroline said excitedly.
"No way." Elena immediately denied.
"Oh he so does and he has it bad." Caroline squealed. Elena was worried that if she got any more excited Caroline was going to explode.
"Don't mess with him Caroline." Elena warned.
"I would never do that." Caroline said with mock hurt.
Elena glared at her friend. "Yes you would. Leave the poor guy alone."
"Fine," Caroline pouted. "But I get to tell everyone else."
"No!" Elena said a little too loud by accident.
"No what? Thor does too have a hammer." Klaus said.
Elena blushed causing Caroline to laugh.
"Oh she just doesn't want me to tell you about this guy by the corner totally crushing on her." Caroline gushed.
"Oh, Elena you have a secret admirer?" Jeremy teased.
"No I don't." Elena insisted.
"Which one is he?" Klaus wondered with an evil smirk on his face.
"Klaus don't you do anything. If you do I will tell everyone about what happened at Caroline's birthday party." Elena threatened.
"That's low. You said you would never speak of it again." Klaus growled.
"He's the guy in black by the corner but apparently Elena doesn't want to make a move." Caroline huffed.
"Oh he's cute. You should definitely go for it Elena." Rose encouraged.
Elena was about to respond but the five minute bell rang.
"Saved by the bell." Rose joked.
Elena huffed and rolled her eyes. Her friends were always trying to meddle in her love life. Elena knew they were only looking out for her but sometimes it was a little overkill.
As she was walking to her class Elena allowed herself one more glance toward the blue eyed stranger and noticed he was watching her again. Only this time he didn't look away. Instead he looked like a deer caught in the head lights. Elena looked away and headed to English.
Tada! So like I said this is just a short chapter tomorrow I'll see if I could 1) update and 2) make the chapter longer. So I hope you liked it don't be afraid to hit the review button and let me know what you think. Oh and just to warn you I will probably only be updating about once a week so if I don't update right away I'm sorry.
I don't know if it's too much but I also recently opened up a forum and if anyone wants to see it it's called Writers Welcome! A Place of Fun and Awesomeness. You don't have to if you don't want to. I only had one person go on so far just to warn you if you do check it out and if you have any friends I would really appreciate it. I just started it so it's not much but I would like to make it a place where anyone can just talk, give advice, play games, role play, or make friends. Thank you for reading my story! I hope you like it!
This part is important for the rest of the story. I will make a poll but if you want you could just tell me by reviewing but I'm trying to decide if I should do a chapter in Elena's point of view and have the second chapter in Damon's or should I only have it in Elena's point of view. There is also the option of having the chapter I just posted in Damon's point of view. Kind of like doing the whole story in Elena's point of view and Damon's.
Okay last thing I promise. I will probably mention Caroline's 'birthday party incident' a lot in this book so I had a thought. If you really want to I could make a separate one shot for that. It would be full of craziness and randomness. I'm sure it would be fun to write so I wouldn't mind again you just let me know by reviewing or you could pm me.
