I'll be switching POV's in this chapter, fair warning.

TUESDAY

DPOV

I woke up to my alarm blasting at me from my dresser, which was across the room. I really shouldn't get high on school nights...

I groaned and got up to turn it off. It was too fuckin' early! School should start at, like, 12pm and end at 2pm. That would be perfect.

I grabbed some pants and got in the shower, trying to wake up. I was never up this morning, and wouldn't be if it weren't for Elena.

I almost told her no after meeting her parents.

I knew her dad was going to hate me, all dads hate their girls boyfriends, it's normal. But her mom didn't like me either.

When I shook her dad's hand, I could see him studying the scars and cuts on my arms. And her mom was holding onto every word I said so she gossip about it later.

I got out of the shower and dried myself, thinking about sitting through breakfast with the two of them. They hated me more than they hated each other at least. I put my pants on(Anna called me gay because I liked pants that were a little tight...Okay a lot tight but still) and fond a white T-Shirt in my closet. Huh, white? That was sure out of place.

I grabbed my leather jacket, my wallet, my smokes, my lighter and my phone and went down stairs. Nana was already up, which was normal.

She's not really my grandmother, but she's been working for my family since before my dad was born, and she raised me so...Nana.

"Good morning." I said, opening the refrigerator and grabbing the orange juice.

"Good morning, Baby. Oh, don't do that!" She said, catching me drinking from the carton.

"Sorry, Nana..." I said putting back.

"What are you doing up so early? I usually have to half drag you down the stairs, which is becoming quiet a job now a days."

"Yeah..." I said smiling and patting my abs. "I'm a fat kid."

"You seem a lot happier since Saturday..."

"I am."

"Well, it's been a long time coming." She smiled knowingly at me. "So, what's her name?"

"How'd you know it was girl?"

"Honey, I've been around for a long time, I know what makes a man smile. And you have that same goofy grin your father wore when-" She stopped short and frowned.

"When my mother was still around?" I sighed.

"Yes..."

"She's left because of me, didn't she? That's why Dad hates me so much?"

"He doesn't hate you, Sweetie!"

"Yes, he does. I'm going to head out early. I love you, have a good day." I said, kissing her cheek.

"You, too." She said. "Tell the boys I said hello."

"Yes, ma'am." Another reason I loved her, she loved my friends.

I walked into the garage and turned on the light. A sleepy bark came from corner where Chester slept. He would be in my room if Nana wasn't so persistent that he be house trained first.

"I know, it's early for me too." He sneezed at me and buried his face beneath his legs. He was a multi-colored beagle, just old enough to be away from his mother and was perfect for me.

I looked at my cars and started to decide what to drive today. I had two Mustangs(a new black one and a red 69 model.) A dark blue Dodge Challenger and a 69 Camero.

I grabbed the Camero keys, got HU CD out of the Mustang and headed over to Elena's.

"Katherine's coming home tonight." Elena said when I'd parked next to Stefan's Austin Martin(I hated him for getting that car when Grandpa died, I loved it.) "My parents want you to come out to dinner with us."

"Because breakfast wasn't awkward enough?"

"And they'll want to go to your place afterwards. I told them your dad wasn't there, but they were too busy fighting to bother listening to me..."

"That's what I'm here for, Babe." She smiled.

"I'm glad. Come on, it time for you to meet my friends." I groaned.

"Do I have too?"

"Yes." She kissed me and got out of car.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"What's your full name?" Erin asked me. I was leaned against Elena's locker, and her friends were in a half circle around me.

"Why does that matter?"

"She gonna Google you." Tyler said, from his spot next to Caroline. "They caught Jer after school yesterday. Poor kid was horrified."

'Well, I have nothing to hide, so there's no need for that one."

"Are you a virgin?" Erin asked, trying to be a smart-ass.

"No. I thought that one went without saying."

"What do you want to do when you graduate?" KC, who was the nicest one, asked.

"Open a record store in New York."

"Why so far away?"

"Cause I hate this town." I snapped at Erin. She was starting to piss me off.

"Well it hates you too!"

"What kind of music do you like?" Kc said.

"Classic and New Age rock. Alternative. Rap and a little Country."

"Movies?"

"Classics. 80's Teen Movies. Horror movies. Comedies. I'll watch nearly anything, really."

Well," Erin said after a few more questions. "I think it's safe to say that Elena shouldn't be with him."

"I like him!" KC retaliated.

"Well," Erin said, looking at the rest of them. "Decide. Right now!"

"What?" I asked, looking down at Elena.

"They're deciding if I should be with you or not." I gripped her hand tighter when she said and closed my eyes.

"Well," Erin said, and I could hear the smirk in her voice. That was it, she'd won. "Elena, go ahead."

I looked down at her and she sighed.

"I'm sorry..." I felt my heart drop, she was actually going to do it. We were done.

"Erin, I can't be your friend anymore. Not until you can learn to except my boyfriend. That goes for all of you."

"Well." Erin said after a few minutes. "I never like you anyway. Let's go!" She flipped her short blond hair away from her eyes and stalked off.

"She," I said, pulling Elena closer to me when the bell rang. "Is a bitch."

"She really, really is." She said, wrapping her arm around my waist. "I really do like you, you know. You're good for me."

"But I'm no where near good enough."

"Where were you at lunch today?" Jay asked as we walked into the weight room after school. Elena had cheer leading practice, and I needed a work out anyway.

"With Elena's friends. Spot me?" I asked.

"Sure." He stood above me while I started lifting the weights. "So what were they like?"

"Not like we thought. Some of them were, but most of them accepted me."

"Were they hot?"

"The girls were."

"Single?"

"I don't know. But I'm sure none of them would wanna date a fag like you." I joked.

"I'm not a fag."

'I know. But you see, these girls like guys with big co-"

"Then why is Elena with you?"

"-cks." I finished. "You can't cut me off. And, as for Elena, You know how it is." I smirked up at him.

"No, I don't. You hide it the bathroom when you take a piss."

"No, I just don't like fags like you staring at my dick."

"Can't stare if there's nothing to see." He said. "Are we still on for tonight?"

"Oh, fuck!" I said, putting the weights down and siting up. "I forgot it was dudes night! I have a dinner tonight with Elena's parents."

"Cancel."

"I can't." I said. I loked down at the floor. "Katherine's coming home."

"You're not going then!" He said.

"I have to." I sighed. "It'll look bad if I back out. Her dad already hates me enough as is. And no one but you guys, my new friends, and her and her friends even know I know her!"

"Are you okay with this?" He asked.

"Adam," I said using his real name for the first time in years. "I'm fine. I had a hard time, but I'm good now."

He reached out and grabbed my wrist. Oh FUCK!

"Yeah." He said dropping my arm. "You're just fuckin' perfect!"

"The new ones have nothing to do with her!"

"Then What, Damon?"

"My dad called last night."

EPOV

"So, who's the mystery guy that Mom's been gushing about?" Katherine asked, brushing out her long curls. We'd both taken early showers so we could hang out tonight before dinner.

"You meeting him in two hours, Kat." I said, from place on her bed. I'd always been close to her, I just hoped my relationship with Damon wouldn't ruin that.

"But I'm your best friend and your favorite sister, so spill!"

"Nope. you can wait!"

"At least tell me his name."

"No."

"What's like?"

"He's sweet. He's understanding. He listens to me..."

"Are you dating a gay guy?"

"Defiantly not!" I said. "At least he wasn't when we made out yesterday."

"Oh, really! Well, Dad hates him..."

"Yup."

"I'm so proud of you." She said laughing.

"I'm going to get dressed I want to look good tonight."

"Wear the purple dress I got you! It makes you look sexy!"

"Everything makes me look sexy!" She laughed again and went into my room.

"Elena!" Dada called. "Your...boyfriend's here." I looked in the mirror one last time and smiled.

Katherine was right. The purple dress did make me look hot. I picked up the purple heels I planed to wear tonight, knowing I was going to be fight Kat for the stairs.

I closed my bedroom door behind me the same time Katherine closed heres, I noticed she was dress like slut-

Wait, Did I just think that? She was wearing exactly what was, only in blue. It must have just been the fact she'd been with Damon before.

We ran for the stairs, pushing and shoving the whole way down. I ran faster though, cause I was bare foot. I found Damon talking to my Dad in the den and jumped on him, making him spin around so that he no longer facing the stairs.

"Whoa!" Dad said. "Where's the fire?"

"Behind her." Katherine said. "Now let me see him."

Damon smiled down at me and turned us both around.

KPOV

"Behind her." I said, trying to catch my breath and fix my hair. I could tell he was from just from looking at his back. He was tall, had dark brown hair, and a nice ass.

Just like-

"Now let me see" The guy turned around and I felt my eyes widen.

Damon.

AN!

I want to say, I know I made a lot gay references in this chapter, and I have NO PROBLEM with gay people. My best friend is gay, so I'm VERY VERY sorry if that offended someone!
