Chapter 2
At The Boarding House
'Okay Blondie, It's been two days since you stepped out of the house, don't you want to walk in the sunlight?'Damon taunted Caroline.
'Wow, that's comforting. I feel so much better now.'
'Come on, you're a vampire. You have PLENTY of time for you to be "fine" 'Damon poured himself glass of bourbon.
Caroline was sitting there staring at the fire. She did not know what to do, she could not go out. She was afraid of hunting by herself. There were a billion things on her mind. One of it was her mum, the sheriff. How is she going to explain it to her? 'Hey mum, um something happened. I am a vampire now?' That's not possible. She was about to cry but she held it back. She never wanted Damon to see her insecure side especially after she turned. She promised to be more confident. At that moment, her emotions were taking over her.
Damon seemed to be busy but he knew what was happening.
He put his glass down, 'I know what you're feeling.'
'You don't need to hide it from me' He looked at Caroline.
Caroline did not know what to say, she just looked down at her feet.
'And.. Here' He handed Caroline a beautiful sapphire ring. It was gorgeous. It looked perfect and she fell in love with it at first sight.
'What is it?' She asked admiring the beauty of it.
'What does it look like? A daylight ring of course. You know, I'm starting to believe that the blonde theory is true.' He smirked.
'Bonnie made it?' She was curious now.
'Yes, I asked her to make it for you yesterday.' He was trying very hard to apologise by being 'nice'.
Caroline was taken off guard, realising that Damon knew what her favourite type of gem was. She found it rather weird, as nobody knew or actually cared or asked her this type of questions. But she decided to keep quiet.
'Thank you.' she replied and tried on the ring. It fitted perfectly.
Something was still bothering her, the fact that she was close to death by Damon but Stefan had stopped him in time. She was feeling extremely guilty as she really wanted to die... But she could not possibly suffocate herself in the hospital. So she turned to Damon… And now Elena thinks Damon wanted to kill Caroline, because he was heartless. She could not put it in any other way but she had to know.
'Um.. Did you tell Elena?' She was staring at Damon's blue eyes.
'Tell her what?' he sipped his glass of bourbon
Caroline rolled her eyes, 'At the hospital... I... asked you to ki.. Kill... Me' her eyes were red now.
'No. Trust me Blondie; I know how it feels to be a vampire. I wish someone killed me when I just turned.'
'Your emotions are heightened. You feel like everything is in a mess. And yes, you feel like dying.'
'I get it. And, don't worry Elena doesn't know.'
'Don't you want to get out of here?' Damon tried his best to change the subject.
'Oh my god! Yes! She sprung up and in a few seconds she was gone.
Damon was all alone, well he was alone all the time. He wanted to get Alaric so that he could go have a drink at Mystic Grill. He realised he's a 'History Teacher' and he had school. So he called Andy up.
They had been drinking white wine the whole day. He soaked himself in a bubble bath. Damon loved his bathtub more than his bed. Soon he was extremely drunk.
'Elena'
'Katherine'
'This doppelganger thing is kinda crazy uh?'
Andy, 'I guess so...'
'Oh!' He exclaimed.
'Caroline is a vampire now. Hah. Can you believe it? Blondie is a vampire.'
Andy, 'Caroline Forbes? Wow.'
'Elena thinks I tried to kill Caroline on purpose. Why am I the bad guy?! In fact, I was really trying to help her… Well Vickie died when she turned. Caroline turned but she gets to live? All of them are just bunch of kids.'
'And now it's my fault. EVERYTHING IS MY FAULT. ' He screamed, throwing his wine glass against the wall.
Andy was freaked out; she did not know what to do.
Andy, 'I better get going Damon. I have news to cast.'
'No! Please. Don't. Just stay, for one day.'
'I can't, I've been missing too many meetings and events. I could get fired.' Andy was desperate to leave now.
'Fine.' He responded, compelling her to forget whatever he'd said.
Andy changed and left.
He just continued to sit there, thinking about anything and everything. He was alone. No one ever wanted his company.
But he learned to look out for himself since the day he knew that Katherine's true love was Stefan. It was always Stefan. And with Elena. Katherine wanted Stefan. Elena wanted Stefan. Stefan was the perfect guy that every girl wanted. He had the whole package. He was smart, funny and charming. On the other hand, Damon was always a second choice. He was known to be a bastard. A misunderstood, lonely bastard. No one ever knew he's insecure side. He was always putting up a strong front. And he was planning to do that for at least another 100 years.
The door bell rang.
'GO AWAY!' he shouted.
There was no reply. He realised something was wrong, as it was too quiet…
