"I've shouldn't have come," Elena said leaving the door frame.
"Elena wait!" Stefan yelled, chasing Elena into the driveway.
"Elena" I spoke under my breath.
Running to the door, I was going to try and comfort my friend.
Suddenly someone grasped my arm, jolting me back.
Pressing me against the wall, Damon looked into my eyes.
"You need to let them have privacy" He said.
"Since when do you care? Every since you got here you have been trying to ruining Stefan and Elena relationship." I spoke curtly.
Damon opened his mouth to say something, then shut it.
"Listen Damon, she is my friend. She is probably going through what I was going through when I found out about you guys." I told him calmly.
The door opened, making us both turn our heads, only to reveal Stefan.
"She's gone. I am going to her house." Stefan told grabbing his jacket.
"Don't you think she had enough for one night?" I asked, pulling from Damon grasped and limping over to Stefan.
"I have to explain to her the same principles of our," he looked to Damon," secret or she could get into serious trouble."
"Don't you think..." I was interrupted by Stefan slamming the door shut.
" I should take you home" Damon spoke from behind me.
Ignoring Damon, I walked over to the bar, pouring me a glass of bourbon.I winced at the taste.
Damon chuckled.
"I don't want to go home... there is nothing there for me." I sat on the couch, drinking my bourbon.
"Fine, but I've to warn you, you need to have a high tolerance to drink that." He pointed to my glass.
I scoffed, "I'll be fine."
"Turn it up!" I yelled to Damon.
Damon now shirtless, walked over to the stereo.
"Come here beautiful" He spoke.
As I moved towards him, I realized I was in my tank top and shorts.
We started to dance and drink again, until Damon's phone started to ring.
Turning down the music, he answered.
"Hello brother" He smirked.
"Damon I'am going to stay over at Elena's tonight." Stefan told.
"She's okay with you being,... well you?"
"Something like that. What are you doing with Lani?"
He looked at me up and down, then smirked.
"Nothing"
"Okay Damon, I am going to pretend what your saying is true. Goodbye, brother."
Damon put his phoned away and smiled at me. "What should we do now?" He asked as he rised his eyebrows.
"I need to go home." I slurred as I held my throbbing head.
"Are you sure?"
I nodded.
"Fine let me go get a shirt."
As Damon left to get his shirt, I started to put my shoes and shirt on.
"Ready?" Damon questioned rounding the corner.
Grabbing my keys," Yep."
"No,no,no. What do you think your doing?"Damon looked at me.
"Taking my car home." I stated.
"No your not." He said as he easily took the keys away from me.
"Why not?" I asked, putting my hands on my hips.
"Well for starters you have your shoes on the wrong feet..."
I looked down at my shoes.
"And secondly your shirt is inside out. Lani your drunk."
I looked at Damon, "Fine."
Damon and I got into the car and started to drive to my house.
After awhile I began to doze off, slowing falling asleep.
"Lani" Damon whispered into my ear.
"What" I said tiredly.
"Your home" He spoke gingerly.
Opening my eyes slowly, I saw baby blues eyes looking at my face intensely.
Sitting up, I realized I was in my room.
"Ahhh" I said grabbing my head, trying to stop the throbbing," no more drinking for me."
"An aspirin will help with that." Damon told me.
"Thank you Damon... really thank you for everything today. Now I've have to see how Elena is dealing with this whole vampire thing."
"How about you... how are you dealing with all this?" He asked.
"I...I...don't know." I giggled a little,"I haven't really thought about. I just I've been so caught up in what everybody else, that I really notice how I feel."
Damon knitted his brows together.
"I was not a believer. People are born, they grow old and then they die, that was the world I lived in. There was no magic, no mysticism, no immortality. There was nothing that defies rational thought. People are supposed to be who they say they are and not lie or hide their true selves. It was not possible. I'm not a believer. I shouldn't be. But how can I deny what's right in front of me?" ,I looked to Damon, who caught my concerned expression, "Someone who never grows old. Never gets hurt. Someone who changes in ways that can't be explained. It's not natural, be yet here we are... in this mess up, crazy world, we call home."
Damon sighed, sitting on my bed,"Yeah as long as I've been a dead living person, I've learned that life has a funny way of throwing crap in your face, then leaves you to clean up the mess."
Turning to Damon, we stared at each other for what felt like forever. Gingerly Damon moved a strand of hair out of my face.
Stiffing at his touch, I stood up.
"So um... that crystal necklace... what is it used for exactly?"
"Oh that old thing," Damon hesitated, "I wanted it for a family air-loom, like a keep-sake."
"Really Damon, no offense but you don't seem like the cozy and sentimental type." I told him as I leaned against the door frame.
"Well thats me." He smirked.
"Are you really going to tell me what that damn crystal is used for or do you have some diabolical plan that you aren't telling me?" I questioned pressing my index finger to his chest.
Damon just simply rolled his eyes, "I think your still drunk."
"There an aspirin in my bathroom" telling Damon as I went to go get it.
"Found one" I yelled, coming from my bathroom to what is now an empty bedroom.
"Damon? Damon?" I looked around my room and upstairs, till my eyes landed on an open window in my room.
Sighing, knowing Damon was gone; I changed into my pj's and took the aspirin.
After brushing my teeth and washing my face, all I could do is just lay in bed, thinking about that damn crystal and Elena.
Finally after an hour of looking at my ceiling, I fell into unconsciousness.
Coming downstairs, fully dressed in a purple sweater and skinny jeans with black boots.
As my coffee was brewing, Elena and that creepy necklace was still on my mind.
Taking out my phone, I tried to call her.
"Hey, this is Elena, sorry I can't reach the phone right now. But please leave a message. Thanks!"
"Hey Elena its Lani. Please give me a call when you get this, its urgent. Bye." I sighed as I hung up the phone.
Grabbing a mug, I decided to call Bonnie.
"Hello" Bonnie answered.
"Hey Bonnie, its Lani."
"Hey girl. Whats up?"
"Remember when you where tell us about all your witch heritage and everything?" I asked.
"Yeah"
"Well what do you know about ancestral crystal necklaces?" I pondered.
