*** Next part! Are you ready?
I bet you guys are... Enjoy!***
Next Day ~ Elena's PoV ~ Elena's Room
I opened my eyes to see my alarm clock.
5:15 am.
The digits flashed in a constant annoying manner of reminder.
I sighed and sat up.
Great, I thought, Another lovely day.
I changed and got ready, and then walked downstairs. When I walked into the kitchen, Jeremy was eating his usual - cereal. This time it looked to be Fruit Loops. Also in the kitchen was Aunt Jenna. She was trying to get everything together for our lunches.
"Jenna, I'm sure it's all fine," I told her.
She nodded and smiled, then sat down at the table with a sigh. With that I got out the box of Fruit Loops, the milk, a bowl, and a spoon.
After breakfast, everything was a blur.
I almost literally ran to school - being almost late once again on Monday - and then I went through each one of my classes like a whirlwind of a ride.
It wasn't till I was in sixth period that it hit me.
Stefan was gone.
And left to watch me was his brother...
Damon.
And, of course... Why stop there?
Next thing I know, I'm suddenly remembering how I went to sleep last night. And not just how, but with whom...
Damon had a lot of explaining to do.
After School ~ Salvatore Household
Just as I was about to pound on the door, it swung open. There leaning against it in his normally arrogant manner was Damon.
"Well, what a surprise!" Damon mockingly exclaimed.
"Why?" I straight-out asked.
I didn't want to play any games.
"You're gonna have to be a little more specific than that, dear," Damon replied.
I ignored the "dear" part and then said, "You know exactly what I'm talking about."
A smirk crossed his face and he answered, "Well, why do you think I did, Elena? Are you having second thoughts already?"
My mouth dropped open in shock.
His smirk only grew wider.
"All you had to do, Elena, was ask," he added.
"Why?" I repeated.
He sighed and then said, "You have one hell of a spirit."
"Why?" I asked again - this time I said it with a warning.
A warning that screamed if he didn't answer quick, then I'd punch him in his face.
He looked at me seriously and replied, "You needed sleep. You were cold and scared. I figured the best I could do was to help you fall asleep."
I looked at him shocked.
"Thank you," I mumbled as soon as I found my voice.
"Your welcome," he replied back.
*** I know it hasn't gotten much better, but it's getting there... Just give it time.
Patience is a key and a virtue, my dears. Just wait. ; )
Thoughts? Suggestions? (Ending's still open btw...)
Review, review, review! ***
