Damon was getting ready for the day while reviewing his conversation with Elena from yesterday. How did he do what he did? How did he kick her out instead of responding to her flirts? What was wrong with him? Bonnie is changing me. But is it for better or for worse?
"Okay Bonnie Bennett, spill",Caroline demanded. "What",Bonnie asked. "You're all giggly and can't stop smiling like an idiot. Reminds me of me. Anyways, who's the guy?" "What?" "If you are like how I just described, then that means you like a guy. Like me when I started dating Matt and Elena when she was dating Stefan." Caroline stopped short at the sound of Stefan's name. "Anyways, who's the guy?" "You don't know him so don't worry about it. But he's great." "Then why don't you ask him out on a date? You guys can double with Damon and I",Elena suggested. Okay, just fake a smile since she can't know about Damon and I. Just tell her an excuse. "He can't, he has a lot of work." "Fine, don't tell us",Caroline said. "I don't know about you two but I'm going to get some breakfast. Wanna come?" "I'll go",Bonnie said. "I'll meet you guys there",Elena responded.
As soon as her friends were gone, Elena whipped out her cell phone and dialed Damon's number.
Damon's phone began vibrating. He picked it up and saw that the caller i.d read, Elena. He simply set it down and let it ring.
After about 4 or 5 rings, it went to voice mail. "Leave a message. Or don't. I really couldn't care less." It beeped. "Hey,Damon, it's me,Elena. I was wondering if you wanna go out for dinner or something? Call me." She hung up and threw her phone on her bed. Why isn't he answering my phone calls? She had already called 5 times, all of those times it had gone to voice mail. Turning her head, she saw Caroline's Seventeen magazine. She picked it up and flipped to the article that Caroline was reading yesterday. Is he still into you? Surefire signs that he's over you after a break up.
She turned the page and saw another article that read: Signs that he's already over you. She skipped the article and read the signs. She grabbed a piece of paper to write down the signs.
1. He won't answer your calls
suddenly doesn't want to spend any time with you
says he 'needs some space'
acts weird when you talk to him
hangs up really fast on you
reminds you of an old relationship
Grabbing a pen, she put a check mark next to signs numbers 1 and 2. She just prayed she didn't have to put any more.
Damon had gone back to Mystic Falls to get a few more things of his. Just as he was gathering up his stuff, he stepped into Stefan's room without any reason in particular. He then saw the photo of Stefan and Elena on the table. Still looking at it, his phone vibrated again. Once again, it was Elena. I might as well answer it. Or she might keep on bugging me. "Damon here." "Hey, Damon. Look, do you maybe wanna go catch a movie or go for a walk or something?" "Uh...no thanks Elena. I'm...uh...really busy. I just need some space, okay?" "Oh, okay. I guess I understand." "Great, bye."
She just sat on her bed listening to the tone on the phone after he hung up on her. Wait, he hung up on me? She took out the list from her pocket and looked it over. Then, she sadly put two more check marks next to numbers 3,4,and 5. Maybe he wasn't as into her as she thought.
Bonnie felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. She discretely took it out and read the message on its screen. Hey, I want to spend some time with you tonight-Damon. She quickly replied back saying, Sure. I'll be at your place at 7:30. Love ya ;) 3.
Uh oh, trouble in Damon and Elena paradise
