Ok, I am back, It's been a while huh? Well it's been a very long time since I've had the opportunity to write. So, last chapter was officially the best response in reviews I have EVER had for a first chapter... Anyway you guys voted but something was brought up to my attention. I have TWO Damon and Elena stories in California already! I totally forgot about Only He Remembered and Sonny with a Chance Of Vampires! SO it's down to two! Read to find out what the hell I have chosen!
Previously:
"Hey, you forgot something in the midst of your outburst." Damon said with a smirk. Elena glared and said, "After that many lies, I think I deserved an outburst." Elena shot back.
"Fair enough, I've had a couple of those when I spend to much time with him too." He said causing Elena to laugh. Then he transferred in serious Damon, "But I actually came to say goodbye for a while."
"What?" Elena asked as she put her bag down and turned to face him, almost looking shocked.
"I'm just leaving the state for a month, you know, get away from it all, meaning Stefan." Damon said as he looked around her room.
"Where do you plan on going?" Elena asked as she sat on the edge of her bed.
"I dunno, maybe Vegas, maybe California, or New York." Damon said with a smirk. Elena got up and stood to him and said a few words that shocked Damon, "Take me with you."
Out Of Town
Chapter Two: Preparations
"Hmm, why do you want to go with me?" Damon asked after Elena had just asked him to take her with him to wherever the hell he wanted.
"I want to get out of here, I don't want to deal with Stefan, John, or the fact that Jeremy isn't talking to me still." Elena said as she recalled the events since Founder's Day. That was a shitstorm and a half.
"So you want me to take you out of your little town and into my car and to a random city?" Damon asked, he was definitely caught off guard with this one.
"Yes." Elena simply said as she got up and smiled at him. He smiled back and cursed at himself for smiling at her, he wasn't supposed to smile, ever.
"You'll be at my mercy for a good month or two." Damon warned and Elena frowned. "It sounds as if you're trying to talk me out of it."
"Pick you up at six, be ready or I leave you." Damon smirked and then disappeared out of the window, just leaving behind the smell of cologne and leather. A scent all made of Damon. Elena froze wondering why she was thinking of Damon's scent. She rolled her eyes but grabbed a large suitcase and started to pack.
Damon was giddy all the way back to the boarding house, something that he was never before, not even when Katherine had suggested that he turn him. Elena had just practically begged him to take her with him to wherever he was going, not even worrying where they were going. It was just on whim. Oh, how Saint Stefan would be sulking over this. But just as he thought that he received a text.
Can we not tell Stefan or as a matter of fact, anyone that we're leaving? I don't want to deal with a bunch of crap... I'm telling Jenna that I got accepted for school transfer in Canada. ~Elena.
Damon smirked at the text, it was almost as if she could read his mind. He smirked, was that a hint that she wanted to go to Canada? Because he was not living with the Polar Bears for a few months.
Is this your way of telling me you want to go to Canada? I am not freezing my ass off. I won't tell Stefan... you ruin all my fun. -D
Damon walked back to the boarding house to a brooding Stefan in the living room, with a glass of, WHAT THE HELL my scotch! What does he think he's doing with that? Just because he lost the girl does NOT mean he can raid my liquor. Damon thought as he rushed up to the bottle and pet it almost as if it was a dog.
"Poor baby! Stefan using you!" He whispered just loud enough for Stefan to turn to him and Damon bursted out laughing. "What the hell are you doing with my booze?"
"Drowning my self due to a fight that I do not want to talk about." Stefan said as he seemed to be clamping something in his hand. Damon nodded to it signaling that he wanted to know what it is and Stefan put it on the coffee table. "It's Elena's vervain necklace. I think this means that we're over." Stefan sighed.
"I think I figured that out when she wanted to talk to you in private, unless you thought you were getting laid." He laughed and then walked up the stairs grabbing his bag out of his closet and then turned around to Mr. Brooding himself.
"Can I help you?" Damon asked as he grabbed some of his clothes from the closet.
"Where are you going?" Stefan asked. Away, for two months, with the love of your life.Damon thought as he smirked at Stefan and said, "Away, for a month or so, just want to get out the way of your brooding." Damon said sarcastically before packing up more, wondering if Elena would bring the very naughty underwear in her drawer.
"Don't let me stop you then." Stefan spat before leaving. Damon cocked his head if had missed something that pissed him off more than usual. Like the break up would put him on edge, but what the hell did he have to get mad at him about, other than killing his best friend, taking his first girlfriend, sleeping with her, becoming friends with his new ex and almost killing that witchy girl... Bonnie? He hadn't done that much to piss him off.
Damon got out of his thoughts and continued packing for the trip, that was destined to be a good one, but only one detail left until he could leave, where the hell to go?
"Elena! I'm so happy! But why didn't you tell me that you were applying?" Jenna asked after Elena had used her excuse that she made up to move to Canada for a while.
"It was a school essay, I thought nothing of it. But apparently the people in Edmonton loved me, so I guess I'm leaving tonight. Damon's driving me to the airport though." Elena said, making up a lie on the spot.
"Damon? Stefan's brother? Why?" Jenna asked.
"He's a close friend, Bonnie's out of town and I broke up with Stefan." Elena said before smiling and walking away. "Wanna talk about that sweetie?"
"No. I'm good, I'm leaving in an hour. I'll see you in a few minutes ok?" Elena said as she walked up the stairs and packed up.
"Ok." She said as Elena got up to the top step to find John standing there. "I checked your text messages." He said angrily with her phone in his hand.
"Congratulations, do you want a cookie?" Elena asked glaring at him as she grabbed her cell and walked away to her room before her dad grabbed her shoulder and stopped her.
"You told Jenna that you're going to Canada, when you're really going on a road-trip with Damon? John asked.
"I've done it before, well not the lie part, but road-trip with Damon... why the hell do you care again?" Elena asked as she grabbed the last of her clothes and placed them into the suitcase that she had packed and ready to go for a few months, at least.
" know you have, you went to Georgia, went to a little bar, met a witch named Bree, you got kidnapped, Damon was attacked and then you stupidly saved his life." John said stating the facts and Elena just wanted it to be six already.
"What don't you know?" Elena asked rhetorically as she grabbed her bag and walked back down the stairs with it.
"I know a lot Elena, but I don't know why you would go! You're going to end up getting hurt or something!" John snapped as Jenna turned the corner and glared.
"John! Don't try and get Elena to stay! What the hell could possibly hurt her up in Canada? A rabid beaver? If I were her, I would be gone already, just to get away from you." Jenna spat. John glared as Elena glanced to the clock. 5:59. Thank god Damon's going to be here... Elena's thoughts were cut off by someone knocking on the door.
Elena smiled and opened it to Damon's smirking face. "Ready to go?" He asked smoothly as he received a wave from Jenna and a glare of John.
"Yup, let's go, now, please." She said leaving out of the door, without a goodbye from Jeremy. "Have fun in Edmonton!" Jenna called as she got into Damon's car. Elena looked over to Damon and he was laughing, "Edmonton?"
"It was a quick lie ok, so where are we going?" Elena asked. \
Damon smirked and said, "New York." Elena smiled, a month or so away from everything, a time out as Damon called it on their last road trip.
I know that I'm horrible, I made you guys vote, and then you had to wait the whole freaking chapter to find out where they are going, but here's my thought process that some of the reviewers helped me see, I have to Cali stories, as said already, and Vegas is played out, and there aren't a lot of New York damon/elena stories, so review and tell me what you want to see happen there, and on the road... REVIEW, or the demon glowing kitty that I found on my street last night is going to eat you...
(I have nothing against Canadians! God Damn, I AM CANADIAN! Haha!)
