Confusing days that make the world seem normal
I wake up saying to myself I have to chose one of the brothers soon. I can't hurt them. They mean everything to me. So now Damon knows I love him and I know he won't stop now. I stretch and go take a nice hot shower and get dressed in a turquoise blouse with jean shorts. As I head down stairs I hear someone knock on the door. I rush over there half hoping it was Damon and half hoping it was Stefan. I was disappointed to find Isobel standing there. What did she want?
"Why are you here Isobel?" I asked coldly. She just shifted her hand on her hip and glared at me. "That's no way to talk to your mother," She replied. "Did you miss me Isobel? Wait, why would you. You have no humanity," I replied sarcastically. "Ok I'm cutting to the chase as fun as this is I need your help once again. If you don't help me I will kill your brother and aunt faster than you can let out a no." She replied strongly and I knew she wasn't kidding around. "Alright. What do you need me to do?" I replied calmly. "I need all journals from Salvatore and Gilbert. Bring them to the grill tomorrow or else," she left and I shut my door bursting into tears before hearing another knock on the door.
I opened it slowly peeking out to see Damon leaning on the door post. "Well hello, Princess." As soon as Damon got a better look at me he came in pulling me into a bear hug. "Shhh. It's ok. Tell me what happened?" He said quietly wiping the tears away before bending down to my height. I took a deep breath and explained everything to him. He just nodded before hugging me again and it felt good. That's when another knock was on my door. I had to pry Damon off of me to get it and even then he followed close behind. A little to close if you ask me. When I opened the door I say Stefan. He looked at me then Damon. "What are you doing here?" Stefan said with a slight growl. "Oh brother I don't need to say my intentions to you," He had a mischievous grin on his face. I didn't want them to fight anymore so I hugged Stefan and cried. He held me tight and kissed my forehead. Stefan mouthed to Damon what's wrong with her. Damon mouthed back Isobel. Stefan nodded understanding Isobel was the one person Elena had left of her family now and she didn't even cared for her. Damon didn't watch the old couple hug forever so he walked in and sat on the couch.
Later when Stefan went hunting I sat next to Damon. "Can I please have your fathers journal?" I asked in the nicest tone right by his ear I whispered it softly. I smelled his cologne, I can't say I didn't like it. He turned to face me as he raised an eyebrow in question. "Please," I begged in his hear. I knew that was his weak spot. He got up and left. I sighed, sitting alone in my almost dark house. Moments later Damon returned with a journal in his hand. He came back over and sat down. He looked right through me as, he held the book out. I reached out to touch it slightly touching his finger. "Take good care of it Elena," he whispered in my ear. I started to wonder why we were whispering and before I knew it I kissed Damon on the cheek. He looked at me surprised so, I got up and tucked the journal in a cabinet before looking around for the Gilbert journal. I would do anything to not go back there and face any more of his reactions. I saw a book on the top shelf knowing I couldn't reach it, I see a box flash before my eyes before landing on the table.. I didn't dare look at him so, I walk over and look though the box finding the journal. After I put it away I decided to face him, by slowly lifting my eyes to his. I could make out the expression. He put one hand on my check, probably deciding if he should kiss me. He turned his head slightly right and slowly leaned in. Just when are lips were about to touch the door bell rang. I could feel his hot breath and my heart sounded like it was going to beat out of my chest. We didn't move for seconds, I was the one to break away to go get the door leaving Damon standing in that same position. When I opened the door there were girls selling cookies. Damon closed the door so quick. "What is your problem?" I half yelled. He shook his head. "They were compelled," was all he said as I peaked put the window to see them gone. "Who, why, what?" I was so confused at the moment. They looked like nice girl all dressed up in pink but I could tell a difference in the way they spoke. Kind of robotically.
When Stefan arrived back we told him about what happened with the girls and we left out the part that I was so close to kissing his brother. I thought Damon would probably brag about to his brother but he left that part out. "So, what are we going to do?" Stefan asked. "I am going to the grill to keep my brother and aunt safe and you guys will be close by to make sure nothing happens to me, ok?" I said more confident than I felt. Really inside I felt scared of what would happen if Isobel didn't find what she was looking for would she kill them just to make her point or what? "No, I will not let you face her alone." Stefan said heroically. "I've got to do this alone Stefan. If you baby me all my life how will I ever learn to be tough and handle all the sad, bad and good stuff." Now I meant that. It was true. "She's right Stefan you can't keep babying her. As she said we will be close by to help at any moment." Damon said reassuring his brother. Now why would Damon be nice to his brother is beyond my thinking after all this hate after all these years. I don't understand guys. Especially when there vampire brothers. I couldn't help but laugh to myself. Then their eyes were on me both raising an eyebrow making me laugh even harder. They were more alike than they know it. "OK, no more sugar for you," Damon said playfully. Stefan nodded in agreement. This wa how it was suppose to be two brothers helping eachother.
