WOW! 9 REVIEWS! My mind is officially blown! Thank you SO much and sorry for the wait!
And don't take this personal
But you're the worst
You know what you've done to me
And although it hurts I know
I just can't keep runnin' away
So my plan to leave Eric forever pretty much failed. We got back together 1 week later. He apologized over and over. I was trying to be strong and not give in. But I fall for his charm every time. It wasn't like all the other times this time. We had an actual serious talk. And not even over the phone! I didn't say "Oh its okay, you only left me there to die". Surprisingly. Damon hadn't said a single word to me since the bonfire. Speaking of Damon, Eric told me that he hated him. Because Damon toyed around with woman and thought he was the coolest and hottest thing to walk this earth. And I also learned Damon hated Eric for the same exact reasons. They were basically enemies. I was getting ready to go to a party Eric was throwing. I had my long hair curled, a black flared skirt, with a Black haltered crop top, and stilettos. I put on a diamond bracelet my mom bought me for my sweet 16 and went downstairs.
"Hey!" Jenna said.
I turned around. "What?" I said with a slight attitude.
"Don't stay out past 12" She said in a strict tone.
I snorted. "Yeah okay. " I said going for the door."Ill be back at 3!" I yelled as I got on my porch. I heard footsteps.
"No. I'm sick and tired of you not obeying my rules. You will come back before 12, even if I have to pick you up." She said.
"Jenna, Im 17 –" she cut me off before I could finish my sentence.
"Well your not 18, so that means you come home when I tell you to" She replied.
"I don't care about your rules! I don't care about any of it!" I said.
"Well. Fine, you can stay out as long as you want." I smiled. I always got what I want. "But don't expect me to unlock the door when you come home, or the rest of the nights since you decided to disobey my rules." She says walking away.
She's kicking me out? No way. The door will be unlocked when I get home. She's just trying to scare me…
I arrived at the party at 10:45. And boy was it packed. I seen Eric in the corner with some hot blonde trying to flirt with him. I was happy to see he paid her no attention. He smiled when he saw me and motioned for me to come over there. I did. He gave me a look that said 'get this girl away from me'. I did. I told her to leave before I rip out her fake hair extensions. He has been treating me better for the week we have been back together. He hasn't yelled at me or anything. I was happy about that. He set his beer down and grabbed my hand leading me to the dance floor to our friends. I danced with him and laughed. I, for the first time since our 3rd date was genuinely having fun with him . He said he was going o the bathroom. So I sat on the couch on the couch, and I seen a familiar face, it was Damon. I was surprised to see him here since he hated Eric. Or at least I thought he did. I ignored him and just went on my phone texting Rebekah to come here since I didn't want to talk to him. She didn't respond. I assumed she was dancing, with Marcel. Marcel was a nice guy. I met him in the 3rd grade and met Rebekah in the 6th grade. I introduced them in the 8th grade and they instantly had a crush on each other. She finally texted me back and said she will come right now. 2 minutes later a girl approached Damon and Rebekah and Marcel came over here. Phew. Damon didn't acknowledge me. He paid all his attention to the girl who approached him. Got her a drink. I turned to Marcel and Rebekah.
"What were you guys doing?" I asked.
"Looking for the beers. We cant find them" She said. "There not in the fridge so I suspect there is a cooler somewhere." She said.
"Its in the living room" A voice said. Damon
"Which one?"Marcel said like it was obvious it was in the living room but there were about 6 living rooms here.
"The one with the fireplace." He replied.
"Alright thanks man," Marcel said getting up telling us he was getting us some.
"Thanks" Bekah said with a soft smile. Oh no, ignore him Bekah.
"It wasn't that hard to find." He said shooing the other girl away. He said it pretty rude.
"Well you don't have to be so rude about it."She said.
He was about to something, but Eric and Marcel arrived, and we immediately pretended we didn't say a word to him. Eric dropped me off at 2:30 am, I said bye and kissed him quickly before he drove off. I walked up to my porch and turned the knob. I gasped. She did lock it. I had no keys. I stood there knocking for 15 minutes but had no answer. I frowned. She wasn't kidding this time. I sat on the steps of the porch and leaned against the rail. My phone was dead, my charger was inside. I had no idea what to do. Do I break in to my own house? I'm not sleeping on the concrete floor. I started walking away and around the block, I walked a little more and 30 minutes later I arrived at Bekah's house. My feet were going to be bleeding by the end of the night because she wasn't home. So I went another 20 minutes to Eric's house. He wasn't there, the party must've ended because no cars were parked. I heard some teenagers around the corner. I just kept walking hoping they didn't notice me. Well that's why there called wishes.
"Mm mm." A guy said. "What's a little girl like you out here in the middle of the streets at 3 in the morning?" He said.
"I'm 17 for your information. And I don't think that is any of your business." I said. I noticed a guy I didn't expect in the back, it was Damon.
"Leave her alone Trevor. Its Eric's girl" Damon said.
"Eric's? wow you could do way better" He said scanning me.
"I did better than you." I said with a smile. That was not a friendly one.
"Whatever." And then they left. But Damon stayed with me. I have no idea why but I was glad I wasn't going to be alone anymore.
"Why are you out so late?" He asked.
"It's a long story." I said and he gave me a look that said. 'I have plenty of time'. "My aunt said I had to be home by 12 and I said no and she said I have to…" I explained the rest as fast as I could. When I finished he had a smirk on his face.
"She's trying to teach you a lesson," he said. "Ill take you to my-"
"Oh no no no no" I said.
"There's 27 rooms in the Salvatore Boarding house" He said. "You could sleep at the opposite side of the house."
"No I'm fine." I said. "Thanks though." I said walking away and he walked the other way. I walked to the my last option. Caroline's house. I knocked on the door. The sheriff: her mom opened the door.
"Elena. what are you doing here?" She asked.
"I need a place to sleep." I said desperately.
"I don't think she wants to see you." She said shutting the door. I walked back home. It was 4 am now. I thanked god there was a swinging bench here and a blanket with it. I walked onto my porch sitting on the porch trying to get in a comfortable position. I put the blanket on me, as I was freezing cold. I eventually fell asleep.
I woke up at 7 am in bed with Eric next to me. What happened?
"Morning," He said.
"Morning" I said in a 'half awake voice. I was in my pajamas. My make up was off, my hair was up. I looked really clean. "How did I get in my pajamas?"
"I did it all" he said proud of himself.
I chuckled and got up, going to the bathroom. "Thank you" I said smiling and brushing my teeth. Today I decided to skip school with Bekah, Marcel, Klaus and his brother Kol. Eric was going to go but he had 'business'. Before he left he kissed me and said "Don't get in to too much trouble'. Like I was the one in the gang. I took a shower and then straightened my hair while I talked to Ariana. She was little but she was one of the only people I could talk to in the world.
"Where did you get that bruise from?" She asked me as I changed my shirt in to my 'Born in the 90's T-shirt'.
"I fell" I said pulling on my ripped skinny jeans, and sitting in front of my mirror doing my make-up. "Why aren't you going to school?" I asked attempting to change the subject.
"There's a field trip" She said.
"You didn't want to go?" I said applying mascara and she sat criss-cross on my bed.
"To the museum." She said looking down.
Our mom and dad's favorite place was the museum. We went once every week until mom died. "Oh," was all I could say. "Do you like school?" I asked since it was her first year.
"Yeah I have a lot of friends. My best friends name is Henrik." She said.
"Henrik Mikaelson?" I asked putting my make up away and then putting my socks on.
"Yea how did you know?" She asked.
"His older sister is one of my bestfriends." I said with a smile as I put on my black Vans.
"Oh, can I go with you and your friends?" She asked. Oh no, I didn't want to tell her no. We were always up to no good. I couldn't bring her into that crowd. Especially since she is 5.
"You cant" I said. "Jenna would kill me, but I'll be home later okay? You can stay In here if you want." I said kissing the top of her head slinging my purse over my shoulder as she said bye. I went downstairs and I seen Jenna. I needed to talk to her. "Alright fine. You taught me a lesson," I said to her.
"Yeah. I did. Your lucky your boyfriend is very convincing because I wasn't going to let you in." She said.
"Well I learned, and I wont be coming home as late." I said.
"No. You will be coming home at 12 every night" she said to me.
"What? No that's not fair!" I yelled.
"Life isn't fair! You don't realize how much pressure it is on me to raise you! And how hard it is! You have NO idea! So when you act up….I don't know what to do but I do know that this is my only option!"
"Well looks like you'll be more disappointed in me than you already are!" I yelled.
She sighed, her eyes turning towards the stairs, seeing Jeremy and Ariana. "Go upstairs." She said. They did. Her eyes went back to me. "Okay. Either you obey my rules, go to school, come back at 12, no more drinking then you can live here where you'll wake up every morning with pancakes and milk waiting for you at the table ready to go. OR you can stay out as long as you'd like, skip school, drink and do whatever pleases you, but..you don't live here." she said.
"Your…your kicking me out?!" I yelled.
"If you don't obey my rules then yes! I am kicking you out of this house. Because 1: You have 2 little siblings that look up to you, and 2: you don't follow the rules like you are supposed to" She said.
"Mom wouldn't approve of this…" I said tears welling up in my eyes.
"Mom wouldn't approve of your actions right now! So don't even go there!" She yelled.
"FINE! FINE! I'll go. Right now!" I yelled running up stairs seeing Ariana and Jer in my room. I grabbed my large duffle bag, shoving clothes and jewelry and everything I used to get clean and ready. I put pictures, my small blanket, a tiny pillow, my phone charger and my hidden bottle of Liquor. I zipped it up.
"Where are you going?" Ariana asked.
I turned around and hugged them both tightly. "I probably wont come home for a while, but I want you guys to know that you can come in here anytime you want, use anything you want and call me anytime you want. Okay? I have to go away for a while…" I said kissing them on the top of their heads. "I love you both." I said going downstairs and out the door slamming it. I hopped in the passenger seat of the car Bekah was driving. Klaus Kol and Marcel were in the back, they looked at me questioning. "I just kicked out." I said with a bitter chuckle as Bekah headed for our smokepot. The smokepot was a spot where we smoked and things…We got there and I immediately opened the bottle of SKYY vodka I packed and just started chugging. I coughed and handed Bekah the beer. I heard a group come over. People were always welcome. But it was ourspot. I was as shocked as can be when I seen Damon come in. I guess he wasn't as good as I thought.
"What are you doing here?" Damon asked sitting next to me.
"I could ask you the same thing." I said taking a pill Klaus gave me.
"I come here a lot when I don't feel like coming to school. Your turn." He said taking my Vodka from me drinking some.
"I invented this spot, so I come here here every day." I said snatching the bottle back.
"I never thought you'd ditch school as much as you do." He said.
"Then you don't know me very well." I said.
Then he stood up. "Come here" he said.
I frowned but stood up anyways. "Okay…" I said following him out further into the woods. We eventually came to a stop at the falls. What did you want to show me?" I asked.
He walked over to a tree with a black piece of tape over it. He ripped off the tape. It read Damon Stefan&Alexandras.
"What is this?" I asked.
"Stefan's my brother as you know. Before our mom died, she said this was her favorite tree. Because when you seat against it you can perfectly view the falls unlike the other trees. So one day when my dad left for a work trip we came here and marked this as our tree. " he said. "I know its corny, but that's why I come here. So I have an excuse to come look at this tree." He finished.
I smiled softly at the trees. "I had a great relationship with my mom" I said. "We had a thing where every month we would go to IHop and order 6 pancakes and try eating them all. Ever since I was 8 we did it. We never accomplished it. Next Thursday is the day. When we would be going to IHop. But I don't have her here anymore to try and do it." I said with a sad smile.
He chuckled. "I thought my sob story was corny" he said covering the tree with black tape again and I rolled my eyes as we walked back but before we reached the others he grabbed my wrist . "Don't tell anyone about the tree" he said. I told him that I had gotten kicked out today. I didn't want to stay with Eric so I had to ask Bekah if I could stay with her because I surely couldn't go running back to one of my old friends house. I'm sure they would welcome me. Not with open arms, but they would let me stay with them. I couldn't do that though. Rebekah's family owned a mansion so I'm sure there would be plenty of room. As we left I said goodbye to Damon. Which was weird considering I didn't like him very much. I got in the passenger seat and Bekah dropped Marcel off at his house.
Okay I had to ask her now.
"Hey Bekah," I said,
"What?" She asked.
"Well you know I got kicked out today right? Well I kind of need a place to stay for a little. And I was thinking –"
"That you could live with me?" She asked before I nodded. "Of course you can, my parents wont mind there gone on trips 90 percent of the time" she said.
"Okay thank you so much." I said hugging her. She hugged back.
"We got a new roomie Kol!" Klaus said. I smiled at him. When we got to Bekah's house she said I could stay in her room since all the guest room were that nice and her room could fit 5 beds and still have a whole bunch of room. So her brothers brought one of the guest room beds in her room and we put a comforter that matched her room. I unpacked my stuff. They brought in the night stand and the lamp. So I had a little drawer for the pictures, my make up, my straightener. I hung my clothes up in her closet since we shared clothes all the time, I put my under garments in a spare drawer she had and put the duffle bag in the hallway closet. I went downstairs into the living room and on the couch.
"What did Damon want with you Elena?" Klaus asked.
"Just to show me something." I said,
"What was it?" Kol asked
"He told me not to tell.." I said.
"Come on. Were your closest friends. You can trust us" Bekah said.
"Okay, it was a tree that his mom liked and she marked it hers and theirs ." I said.
Klaus and Kol laughed. "Wow. What a –"
I cut him off. "Its not funny…His mom is dead and she was the only thing close to him and he lost her" I said glaring.
They shut up knowing it was a soft spot to talk about dead mothers. "Where's the Liquor?"
It was 2am, and I awoke to my vibrating phone. I grabbed it looking at who texted me. It was Eric. I practically jumped out of my skin when I seen the message. It read. 'Were over.'
2:04 am.
Me: "What…? Why?"
2:09 am.
Eric: "Why don't you go ask your friend Luke?" Luke was one of my childhood friends, and I had hung out with him at the grill earlier.
2:15 am.
Me: "What are you talking about?"
2:28 am.
Eric: "Don't play dumb with me Elena"
2:36 am.
Me: "I'm not.."
2:51 am.
Eric: "A few of my friends seen you walking out into the grill with him."
3:05 am.
Me: "Okay? So where's the part in that you want to break with me for?"
3:22 am.
Eric: "You know I don't like you hanging out with guys."
I thought that was funny. I was pretty sure he's cheated on me so many times.
3:45 am
Me: "But you can cheat on me 10 times week?"
3:56 am.
Eric: "Don't bring this on me."
4:20 am.
Me: "Fine Eric. Were over. Done. Never again. Not even next week. I wouldn't want to be with a psychopathic coward who hits his girlfriend." I hesitated pressing send. But I was so upset and angry I hit it without thinking and immediately regretted it.
4:22 am.
Eric: "And I wouldn't want to be with a heartless whore either."
There. That was it. I deleted the conversation shutting my phone off and going back to bed.
I awoke again at 7:00 am. It was Friday Thank god. I stood up and quietly walked to the bathroom brushing my teeth and doing everything else. I walked to Beks bed and woke her up telling her it was time to get ready. We left at 8:30 and got there at 8:40. We didn't take a car and it still only took 10 minutes. When I arrived I seen Eric with a girl, not just any girl. My enemy Katelyn Woods. Of course. Well the only way to get him back was to play him at his own game. I seen Damon walk past me a few cars up. "Damon!" I said loudly but not loud enough for everyone to look at me. He turned his head and I motioned him to come over. He was wearing a Dark blue T-shirt with a leather jacket around it and black jeans with those Vans type looking shoes guys wear.
"Wow, Elena Gilbert calling me over, what an honor." He said with a smirk.
"I don't have time for your smart remarks. I need you to put your arm around me." I said. He raised an eyebrow questioningly. "Just do it." I said. He did. And I kind of leaned against him. "Okay now walk me to class" I said. Which he did. Guys didn't mind being used…right? When he walked me to class I said thank you and he just shook his head murmuring 'your welcome'. I could already see the death glare Eric had. There was 2 empty seats when I sat down. One next to me and one in the back. Eric and a girl named I think Isabella walked in. Please Isabella sit next to me. Please. Once again, that's why they are called wishes. Eric sat next to me. Of course. I didn't look at him. Come on Mr. Saltzman where are you. Eric looked at me.
"What in gods name were you doing with Damon?" he asked.
"I don't think that any of your business. " I said still not looking at him.
He snorted. "And why not?"
I laughed and now looked at him glaring. "Because we broke up. So since we broke up, you don't get to know anything anymore. I can do whatever I want. I'm single remember? Plus you were with Katelyn. " I said thanking the heavens that Mr. Saltzman walked in.
"So class I am gonna need you to open up to page 478, were going to be learning about.."
6 long hours later I left the school and I felt a hand wrap around my wrist. I thought it was Eric so I swung my fist but it was Damon. He caught the other wrist. "Wow, that was a pretty good reflex." He said.
"Thanks," I said as he let go of my wrist.
"I need to talk to you."
"Okay…About what?"
"Earlier. You used me. Why?"
"Because Eric broke up with me last night and he was with my enemy. I'm sorry."
"But why me?"
"Because you are basically his enemy." I said.
He snorted. "That's cold."
Great. He's now going to make me feel horrible.
"I'm sorry" I said.
"You owe me." He said walking off. Uh oh. I owe him.
Oh god, I owe him.
It was a week later since my talk with Damon, and Bekah, Klaus, Kol and I were going to a party at my friend Katherine's house. I got dressed in a light pink crop top double layered, high waisted pocket stud shorts and black heels. We got to the party at 10:30. When we walked in Kat greeted us and told us where the drinks were then scurried off to her other friends. I walked over to where the drinks were and gave Bekah a beer bottle. I grabbed one too and we walked to where the people were dancing. After 10 minutes I stopped dancing and I seen Damon motioning me to come over. i did.
"What's up?" I asked.
"What, I cant casually talk to a beautiful girl?"
"Not unless you want something."
He chuckled at this and I couldn't help but notice how perfect his skin was. "So I've been thinking about you owing me, and I finally made a decision." he said with a grin.
"Oh no what is it?" I asked with a small grin of my own.
He was about to say something when his phone vibrated in his pocket and he took it out of his pocket frowning at the name on the screen . "I'll see you later Elena." he said walking away. I frowned but shrugged it off. I went over to Bekah and said I wanted to leave. She did too We just werent feeling I tonight. When we got home I showered, brushed my teeth, brushed my hair and then changed into my pajamas. When I layed down to drink some of the stuff Bekah snuck from the party. my phone vibrated. The persons name was unknown, the text said it was Damon.
12:25am
Me: How did you get my number?
12:26am
Damon: I have my sources...
12:27am
Me: I'm serious.
12:28am
Damon: I can't tell.
12:29am
Me: Fine. Then I'm blocking your number.
12:30am
Damon: I'd like to see that.
My mouth made a shape like an 'o'. What did he think? That I was one of those girls who will drool over him all day.
12:30am
Me: Watch me. ;)
I hesitated pressing send but did anyway.
12:31am
Damon: Waiting...
12:32am
Me: Fine.
I texted back then blocked his number.
I smiled at my phone and then went to sleep. I woke up at 10 and god dressed in a grey t-shirt, black skinny jeans, black converse and a leather jacket with a hoodie and glasses since I was hungover from drinking so much. I asked Bekah if I could take one of their 3 cars. She said yea and I took the white 2011 Camaro. I drove to the grille and I walked in getting a seat and ordering fries and a coffee to-go. I got up and as I turned the corner I bumped into something, or someone. It was Damon.
"Watch i-" he said until he realized it was me and he shot me a flirty look. "Well well, Elena." he said.
"Ugh move." I said pushing him out of the way getting my fries and coffee, he followed me anyways.
"So you really blocked my number huh?"
"I told you I would." I said with a small smirk as I took a sip of my coffee.
"Mmm," he said with a smirk of his own grabbing the phone out my back pocket paying no mind to me as I tried reaching for it. He unblocked my number and gave me back the phone happily."All better." He said. I glared at him and walked away making sure he didn't follow me this time. And he didn't. good, I got back into the car driving back to my house seeing the SUV from Jenna's house parked in Bekah's driveway. I frowned in confusion and walked in seeing Jenna in tears. Oh no, oh no oh GOD no.
Teala Dunn Dunn Dunn! (Tealatubbies joke)
