This chapter is longer because I got a lot of reviews. I wanna thank Perfectlyme for pointing out my mistake. I changed it ok, you can read now.

Oh yea…..and if you have read my other story. I don't put the disclaimers on every chapter. I own Jadeyn, Josh, Dave, and Jason, and future characters that I might make up. That won't change. So just imagine that being there on every chapter. Thanks for the reviews and your support.

I woke up to the sound of birds. Ugh! Damn things just don't know that some people don't wake up at friggin 6:00 on a Sunday. Well, me anyway. I tried to tune them out with my pillow and cover my ears, but they just wouldn't shut up. Eventually, I just ended up leaving my comfortable bed and taking my grumpy ass downstairs. If I wasn't going to sleep, I was gonna watch TV.

I turned on the TV and Dora the Explorer was on. YES! THIS WAS MY SHOW MAN! I watched as Boots swung from the trees while Dora sang her little song. Lucky for me, this was a rerun. I hated the damn show now. It was too…..kiddy. Before, at least they made you think sometimes, but now those mofos decided to exaggerate the voices.

"Can you find the rainbow?" she asked the screen. I said, "it's right there."

She just sat there, waiting for an answer, or that stupid blue mouse thingy.

"It's right there!" I said louder. She still sat there, blinking her eyes. I just ended up jumping off couch and pointing at the TV screen.

"its right there, DUMB ASS!"

I finally realized that I accidently pushed the pause button when I jumped up. I felt like an idiot.

I pressed the play button and waited for the mouse to click the rainbow. Damn mouse….took too long.

I got really hungry when it was early in the morning, so I went to the kitchen to look in the fridge and see if there was any food. Luck was on my side because I found pie. PIE!

Wait, if this was Dave's pie, my ass would be screwed, so I didn't touch the pie. Instead I went for boring Cheerios. I always hated Cheerios commercials. They seemed so stupid. He was always fighting crime. I always end up getting pissed and screaming at the screen, "JUST LET THE FUCKING BEE HAVE SOME HONEY! YOU CAN'T EAT ALL THAT SHIT BY YOURSELF! YOU LIVE IN A FUCKING BEEHIVE!"

Dora kept on with her singing and I danced a little. It was kind of cold though. I was only wearing a t-shirt and underwear. It got hot at night for some reason.

I was chillin out, eating Cheerios out of the box, singing along to Dora, when I heard movement upstairs.

"Dammit." I whispered. I jumped up and ran to the kitchen, putting away the Cheerios and closing the refrigerator. Then I changed the channel to the news and put a blanket over myself. Then I changed my facial expression to a tired girl who couldn't sleep. I saw feet in the peripherals of my eyes and saw that the feet didn't look like ugly troll feet.

"What are you doing up?" Jason asked me.

I shrugged. I didn't feel like talking to him.

"It was hot last night." He commented.

I really wanted to say 'no shit Sherlock,' but I didn't. I just continued to stare at the red haired lady on the screen.

"Thanks Tim, following the story of the cute little tiger at the zoo, we got some reports on animal attacks again yesterday. As the time progresses it seems that the attacks are becoming more frequent and more people are getting hurt. Officials are trying to control the crowd assuring them that the attacks under control. Citizens find this hard to believe as the attacks are all centered on Mystic Falls. We got an interview with Sheriff Forbes, the lead investigator on the problem."

A blonde lady in a police uniform arrived on the screen with the microphone to her face.

"The attacks are not the problem. The problem is that drunk teens are going into the woods after countless warnings from the department of safety. As long as you don't go into the woods at night, then you're perfectly safe, but some people still can't seem to grasp that."

"Thank you Sheriff. What do you think the cause of this massive killing spree is?"

"Migration. This is why the people should lock their doors and practice safety."

"Thank you Sheriff Forbes. Sophie, back to you."

"A lot of animal attacks lately." He said. Jesus, can you shut up!

I nodded again.

He took a seat next to me on the couch, "Jade, listen-"

"No! You listen! I'm sick of you trying to get on my good side all of sudden! I don't want you on my good side! You've had two years to get on my good side, but you haven't done shit! So stop trying to make a connection with me that was never there!" I yelled at him. I got off the couch, leaving the blanket and going up the stairs quickly.

Ugh! He gave me a headache. First the birds, then Dora, now this! I needed to get out of this house.

I put on some skinny jeans and a regular old t-shirt and grabbed my purse. There was nothing in it, but mints, gum, and money. I also had a set of keys, but those were on my dresser. I picked those up before leaving. I didn't need an excuse to get slapped for forgetting my keys.

I descended down the stairs and shut the door behind me, but not before seeing Jason's distraught face. Psh! I didn't care. He could go drown himself in a river.

I went in the direction toward town and suddenly became aware of the fact that I had a long way to go.

'I wish I brought my iPod'

I started to walk faster. I guess I could go buy something, or just chill at the Grill. Maybe I could make another friend. I was walking for about 15 minutes before a nice looking car came in my direction. Literally right at me. I jumped out of the way before it could hit me and screamed, "WHAT THE HELL!" at the mysterious driver.

"Oh! I'm sorry cutie." A voice said.

I closed my eyes in irritation. Damn it…..

"I'm going to ignore you now." I said.

"Why would you do that?" he asked innocently.

"You almost hit me with your car!" I yelled at him.

"Not my fault. Your beauty was blinding me." He smirked.

"I'll give you something that will blind you." I muttered.

"I heard that."

"Why do you hear everything I say? Do you have some extreme hearing disorder?"

"No, I just have really keen ears."

'Whatever' I thought.

"I heard that too."

"Omygosh." I said, and started to walk faster. I heard his car coming closer and groaned.

"Where are you going?"

"None of your business"

"Do you need a ride?"

"No Damon!"

"Get in the car Jade." He rolled his eyes.

"It's Jadeyn to you, and HELL NO!"

"Why?"

"YOU ALMOST RAN ME OVER WITH YOUR CAR!" I yelled at him.

"I told you, you're just so hot." He shrugged.

"No, you haven't seen me hot; right now I'm just irritated. Keep it up Damon, and you'll see me hot!"

"You're cute when your angry." He chuckled.

"Why are you still following me!"

"I thought I was your toy, I want you to play with me." He smirked. I caught the hidden meaning.

"How about I break you? Then you will be a useless toy."

"You can't break me…I'm indestructible….kinda." he shrugged.

"You are so weird."

"I'll stop being weird if you get in the car."

"You're sounding less and less like an acquaintance, and more of a rapist." I crossed my arms, walking faster. Damn my feet were getting tired.

"It's not rape if you like it."

"If I get in the car, will you shut up?" my feet were really hurting. I probably would've taken a breather anyway, if he didn't offer a car ride.

"Not guaranteed."

I sighed and hoped over the car door. It was a light blue Mustang, and it was gorgeous.

"I like your car." I said.

"Thanks, it likes you too."

I rolled my eyes and ran my hand through my hair. It was windy today.

"So really, where are you going?" he asked me.

"The Grill."

"Why?" he scoffed.

"Because I needed an excuse to leave my house and I'm bored as hell." I sighed.

He nodded his head.

"I can keep you company if you want?" he shrugged.

"I don't know…..you seem annoying today." I smiled.

"Hey! My company is decent! At least you won't be wandering around like a loner. I'll even show you some nice places."

"Where?"

"The woods."

"Nope, Nope, hell no! I saw the news report today and I'm not going anywhere near those horrid green planets!" I shook my head.

"Come on, I'll keep you safe." He rolled his eyes. Those beautiful eyes.

"I-I don't know."

"Please! As thanks for me driving you wherever you want." He smirked.

"Psh! You basically forced me into this car! I'm surprised you didn't pick me up and throw me in it!" I narrowed my eyes.

"Fine then, get out the car." He suggested. I smiled and unbuckled my seat belt.

"Bye DeDe." I wiggled my fingers. I walked faster and started to giggle. I turned around, but he wasn't there, then I turned back around and he was right in front of me.

"What the hell!" I yelled.

He smirked and threw me over his shoulder. I kicked and hit his back.

"Damon! Let me go! You psycho!" I yelled.

"You're the one who suggested that I pick you up by force and throw you in the car." He smacked my ass.

"You are so annoying." I said through my teeth.

"Sick of your toy already?" I could imagine him giving me that annoying smirk that was so sexy.

"When I'm done with you, orphans won't even want your jacked up ass! I'll jump out the car!" I screamed.

He threw me in the car and buckled me up. I tried to unbuckle the seat belt, but we shot forward.

"Please, jump out the car." He smiled.

We were going 100 miles an hour!

"Slow the fuck down!" I grabbed the headboard in fright.

"No thanks."

"Damon! I swear to God!"

"What? If you jump out the car, you'll meet him in person. That depends if he lets you in. Right now, your fate in going in a different direction, cutie."

"I'll twist your NECK in a different direction!"

We were approaching the town square and he began to slow down. I could've broken my fingers with how hard I was grabbing the headboard.

"We're here!" he said. The Grill stood a few feet in front of us. I ripped the seat belt from my waist and jumped out the car. I started to waddle because my legs were like jelly. That ass!

"Something wrong with your legs?" he asked innocently.

"If you put me through another practice run of the Fast and the Furious again, I will personally make sure my legs work! That way, I can kick your ass while you're driving and make you run into a tree! But I'll jump out before we crash, and watch as your body bursts into flames!" I was glaring daggers at him.

"You have that all planned don't you?" He smirked in amusement.

"You are solucky I didn't piss in your car." I muttered.

I walked in, grabbing the door so I wouldn't fall. I looked around and found Matt.

"Hey Matt." I waved at him.

He smiled at me and ruffled my hair, "What's up Jade!"

"He gets to call you Jade?" Damon asked behind me.

"Shut up!" I smacked his chest. He groaned.

"Whatcha doin here so early in the morning?"

"I needed to get out the house." I shrugged.

"Oh yeah, I know the feeling." He sighed.

"Might as well eat then." I said.

"Sure, here I'll get you a table, follow me." He smiled.

I grabbed Damon hand, "Come on Power Ranger." I said in a gruff voice.

He rolled his eyes. I took a seat at the booth and Damon sat across from me. I took the menu from Matt and began to look at it. That burger was really good last time.

"Call me when you're ready to order." He smiled and I smiled back and nodded.

"So, tell me again, why we are here at 7:00 in the morning?"

"Tell me why you agreed to take me wherever I wanted at 6:45 in the morning." I smiled, still looking at the menu.

He shrugged, "I was bored."

"You bored at 6:45 in the morning?" I coughed a laugh.

"So were you."

I smiled and nodded in agreement, "that I was. But I had a legit reason." I gave him a pointed look.

"Please share with the class." He leaned toward me on the table.

"My stupid, unhelpful, sulky, suicidal, silent, dipshit brother." I muttered, glaring at the menu that seemed so easy to take my anger out on.

"Same here." He smirked.

"Oh stop! Stefan's cool and really nice." I defended my new friend.

"Oh yeah, I'm sure your brother is the same with other people." He frowned.

"What 'other people'? My brother doesn't even exist around other people. He doesn't talk to anybody. He just sits around and listens to his iPod so he doesn't have to hear me crying!" I said angrily, but then I slapped my hand to my running mouth. Dammit!

"Crying?" Damon frowned.

My eyes widened slightly, "you know….soap operas and all that." I saved myself. He stared at me as if he didn't believe me, but then looked away. I let out a breath of relief. I hoped he bought that.

"You know? We actually have a lot in common." Damon smirked.

"Please….share with the class." I mimicked him.

"Well, we are both extremely sexy." He started. I rolled my eyes, "correction. One of usis extremely sexy." I said.

"Fine, I'm extremely sexy and you are just extremely annoying with your side comments."

"It's the other way around honey." I said.

"Whatever, and we are both really fun to be around."

"Correction-"I lifted my finger but he cut me off.

"No interrupting." He said quickly.

I laughed silently and shook my head in amusement.

"And we are both too awesome for our dumb brothers." He smiled. I guess he was finished.

"I guess that's all true." I smiled.

"Especially the part about me being extremely sexy." Damon said.

"You thinkyou're extremely sexy."

"I know."

"How do you know?"

"Just the way you look at me. You want me Jadeyn."

"How old are you, I think sexual harassment is illegal against minors."

"You're 18. You aren't a minor anymore. In fact, I'm positiveyou aren't a minor anymore." He smirked.

"What are you referring to Damon?" I asked him innocently.

"Nothing, I'm just very sure you haven't been a good girl lately."

I smiled at him with a seductive smile, "I have money to buy a new toy, Damon."

"You know how hard the economy is nowadays. It's getting harder and harder to find new toys." He widened his eyes.

"Wanna bet on it?" I got closer.

"Sure." He got closer.

"Loser buys lunch, or breakfast or whatever." I smiled.

"Okay." He shrugged.

I nodded, "I'm gonna go to the restroom."

I got up and walked down the, but then I did a U-turn and grabbed Matt by the shirt, "Matt! I need you to do something for me."

"You really have a tendency to grab me a lot." He chuckled.

"Yeah yeah! I need you to go to our table when I sit down. Then I'm going to flirt with you and ask you out. I need you to say yes."

"Why?" he asked.

"Because I bet Damon that I could get a guy to go on a date with me by the end of the day, but I don't want to just pick any guy. Also, you're nice and it's not real. I just need you to agree in front of him." I begged.

"I don't know Jade." He looked hesitant.

"Oh come on! For worker buddies!" I put out my lip in a pout.

"OK fine." He smiled. I clapped my hands and squealed.

"Thank you thank you thank you! You're the best!" I smiled and kissed his cheek.

I walked back to the table. I looked at Damon's face to make sure he didn't hear my deal with Matt with his creepy ass hearing. He looked oblivious though, so I just smiled.

"Nice bathrooms here." I said.

He nodded and I looked around to find Matt. I waved my hand to get his attention and he came over. I smirked at Damon and looked at Matt.

"Hey, you ready to order?" he asked me.

"Actually Matt, I wanted to ask you a question." I smiled at him and looked at Damon, whose eyes widened a little.

"Sure, what's up?"

"I've been watching you for a while and I think you are really cute. Will you go on a date with me?" I smiled seductively.

He smiled back at me.

"Actually Jade, I would love to go on a date with you. You're hot!" he said.

"Thanks Matt! See you Friday?" I asked.

"Sure, you know what time I get off." He winked at me and walked away.

I turned to Damon and sighed. We never said the rules! He looked kinda pissed.

"I'll make sure not to order anything tooexpensive."

"Not fair." He said.

"Life's not fair." I stated.

He huffed and I smiled, "I'll buy something for you later if you want?"

"Nope, you cheat." He said.

"I don't cheat; you're just a sore loser."

"I am not!" he scoffed.

"Whatever sore loser." I said.

..

When we finished eating we drove around town for a while. He took me to some book stores and I told him how much I loved books. I always have.

"I don't see the joys in the books you read." He said.

"They don't see the joys of your negative comments." I rolled my eyes.

"They're books! They don't have feelings!"

"Neither do you! You have a lot in common."

"Yea, you love both our company." He smirked.

"I bet you haven't even read most of these books."

"I have a lot of time on my hands Jade." I smirked as if it was some kind of inside joke.

"Wanna share the joke?" I smiled.

"Nope, you wouldn't get it." He popped the 'p'.

"Knowing how weird you are, I probably wouldn't."

I looked over all the books in the store. They advertised a lot of Twilight stuff here, especially the calendars. I walked up to one and grabbed it.

"Hey Damon, I think you should be in this calendar." I said.

"Hell no!" he looked offended.

I laughed, "Why not!"

"Because they are so full of crap! Real vampires don't glitter in the sunlight!" he yelled.

"How do you know that?" I asked him, intrigued.

"Call it….a hunch." He smiled.

"Well I think you would be a very sexy vampire." I said, putting the calendar back on the shelf.

I heard him chuckle and I stuck my tongue out at him.

"Where's Elena and Stefan?" I asked.

"Bored of me already?"

"No, just curious." I shrugged.

"Curiosity killed the cat." He said.

"I'm more of a dog. Bark bark." I said.

"Man's best friend." He smiled.

"Want me to lick your face." I smirked.

"Please."

I rolled my eyes and looked over the other merchandise they had here. I went to the kids section too.

My eyes went wide. I smiled and jumped up and down. The little kids looked at me strangely.

"DORA!" I yelled. I ran to the Dora the Explorer section and grabbed the Purple Backpack that was featured on the show. I hugged it tightly and put it on.

The other kids just stared at me, while Damon laughed, "what are you doing?" he asked me.

"I love Dora the Explorer!" I said.

"Why? Aren't you too old for that crap?" he asked me. I glared at him and punched his arm really hard.

"Ow!" he yelled.

"Don't you dare talk bad about Dora! I accepted the book smack talk, but not Dora bitch, not Dora."

"And you say I'm weird…" he shook his head.

I grabbed the stuffed Map and put Boots on my shoulder then I turned to Damon.

"Hola amigo, ¿Puedes encontrar el arco iris?" I said.

"What?" he chuckled.

"Hi there friend, can you find the rainbow?" I repeated in English.

"You are crazy."

"Vete a la mierda" I spat at him.

I heard a Mexican girl and her mother gasp and walk into a different isle. Damon coughed a laugh.

"What did you just say?"

"Fuck you." I shrugged and watched as he chuckled.

"Stop laughing!" I stomped my foot. I probably looked so odd. I was wearing a Dora the Explorer get up and cussing at Damon in Spanish. I was also very pale and looked nothing like Dora.

"You're so cute." he chuckled.

"I am not cute. I am gorgeous." I flipped my hair.

"Is that all you know?" he asked me.

"No, I know how to say 'your mother is a pregnant goat with blonde hair.'" I said.

He laughed again, "why would you know that?"

I shrugged, "I went to the park one day, and some little girl came up to me and told me how to say it."

"Why." He chuckled.

"Because her mother told her not to and she said she had to continue the line of tradition to others so she could spread her love of blonde, pregnant goats."

"Oh my God, you are so weird." Damon shook his head.

"Damon, please stop embarrassing yourself in front of the children." I said.

"You're talking?" he pointed at me and my Dora outfit.

"Bitch! I'm gonna be her for Halloween this year!" I yelled.

He rolled his eyes at my antics.

"I don't know why you're rolling your eyes. You're gonna be Boots." I said and turned away. His face fell immediately.

I ran into a different isle and stared at the new collection. It was a section about the Bible. I stared at all the different versions and scoffed. Why would they have so many different versions of the same God? It didn't make any sense to me. I just didn't see the reason why people believed in the dude. Buddha had a better belief system! I ran my hands over the different covers. So many different covers. I personally wasn't such a big fan of 'God'. (A/N not my personal thoughts, just the way she thinks right now. Will change later.)

If God existed, then why would he put people through so much suffering? What was he trying to accomplish? It didn't make sense to me. People die every day, but he just sits there and does nothing. I mean, look at me. I get beaten on a regular basis.

But then sometimes, I do believe he's there. I mean, I haven't died yet. Actually, my life has been pretty good for a while. I haven't been beaten in a whole week. Dave says he wants a new slate. A different life. But I just know that it's not gonna be that simple. So for now, I was going to keep myself wrapped in my safe little protection cocoon. It kept me numb. That, and the drugs. But that DAMN rehab center took it all away! The lady wasn't even nice! She just pulled the cigarette from my mouth!

"This is a rehab center! Not a God damn smoker's joint!"

How incredible rude. I was just calmly taking a cigarette break, and princess bitch had to come along and take away my stash. Then I found out that Dave made the facility get me off alladdictions. I was so pissed.

"Playing hide-and-go-seek?" Damon asked me.

"That actually sounds really fun right now. I miss being a kid."

"We can always play anytime. You're the kid, I'm the toy." He smirked.

I turned around and gave a big smile, "Your it!" I tapped his shoulder and ran. In the library. Yeah, I'm so immature, but none of ya'll have experienced until you've played hide and go seek in a library that prevents horseplay.

Well sucks for them. I wasn't a horse!

I decided to make it fun and hide in the faculty closet. He would never find me. He would spend his time looking around the book isles, but he would never expect-

"Found you!" he said.

I gasped, "You looked!"

"I did not!" he said.

"You totally looked! There is no way in hell that you could've found me without looking! I was the champion of this game! Seriously! Personal experience from this game!" I accused.

"What personal experience? How can you have personal experience from hide-and-go-seek?" he asked me.

Dammit! I always said things that I didn't mean around him! But it was so easy! He made it so easy to just be myself and be free and happy. The truth was, I had to hide when Dave was drunk. I at least had to make an effort not to get my ass beaten.

"Nothing! When I was younger, you know, I had to hide from my brother. He would always try to tickle me." I smiled and looked down. I wasn't lying. When we were younger, my brother and I used to be very close.

"What were you hiding from Jade?" he asked me softly.

I gulped and stared him in the eyes. I wasn't telling him shit!

"You are really ruining my day." I put my hands in fist and set them on my hips.

"You don't tell me anything." He countered.

"I don't know you well enough to tell you my secrets." I said.

"So you were hiding from something." he stated.

"I'll tell you my secrets when you tell me yours." I said.

He nodded, "that's fair."

I smiled and turned around in my safety closet.

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9…..10!" I yelled and turned around. He was gone. I took my hands and rubbed them together. I could do this. I was the master at this. He was easy bait; I just had to look closely.

I walked out and closed the door. Ok, where could he have gone? I walked through several isles, but he was never there. I even went into the boys' restroom. Nothing….

I looked behind the cashier's desk and everything! Where the hell could he be? He had to be moving around. I looked behind me to make sure he wasn't following me.

I saw a quick movement of black hair behind a kid bookshelf. So he wasfollowing me! I went behind it and yelled, "GOTCHA!" but it was just a little girl with a black stuffed bear.

Damn him!

I went through all the isles and rooms again, but he just wasn't there. I went outside too!

I checked the clock on the wall and saw that I had been looking for 20 minutes now. I groaned and threw my head back in frustration and fatigue. This game made you tired.

"I give up!" I threw my hands in the air.

"You really suck at this game." He whispered in my ear behind me.

"Where were you!"

"Around." He shrugged.

"You cheat."

"So do you, cheater."

"I didn't cheat; you just didn't specify the rules."

"Well it doesn't matter because you are the new sore loser."

"No, I make losing look like winning." I stuck out my tongue.

"Well what's my prize?" he asked.

"You don't get a prize! We never bet prizes!" I said.

"You really are a cheater." He smirked and crossed his arms over his broad beautiful chest.

"It's OK, you can get over it." I shrugged.

"No, I want a prize." He grabbed my hand and kissed my cheek.

"Nope, ya perv!" I pushed him and giggled.

"Fine then! Find another car ride home." He said from behind me.

"Ok!" I skipped out of the library and looked for someone who I thought would give me a car ride. Or I could just walk. But it was so far and I wasn't even half way before my feet started to hurt.

"I guess I can buy a bike." I shrugged. I had enough money; I just had to hide it from Dave.

I went to a store that sold exercise equipment and asked the owner if he sold bikes. Luckily, he had one in stock. But they were only kiddy ones.

I stopped my sulking immediately when I saw Dora.

"I want this one." I said quickly.

"Oh, a little sister?" he asked me. I was sad at that statement, but I answered as if I was unaffected.

"Psh! It's only me and my brother." I smiled. Thank the not so reliable lord.

His face turned into something of confusion, "a younger brother?"

"Nope! He's 22." I nodded.

"Oh my!" he looked appalled.

I took out my money and placed it on the counter.

"Thank you! Bye now!" I yelled.

"I hope you help your brother get some help!" he waved.

"No! He's a permanent malfunction!" I yelled back.

"Well maybe you should try the superman bike then?" he offered.

"Nope! It's Dora or nothing'" I said.

His face paled again. What was his problem?

I had my bike and strolled it along the street. Stupid Damon, I always won! And I always won with style….

Me and my Dora bike, we were gonna have a nice day.

I hopped on the bike and went on my merry way toward my house. It car ride here was about 15 minutes, so I should get there in 30. I kinda felt bad, I left Damon. Then I didn't because he was pressuring me to give him a prize he clearlydid not deserve! He looked during hide-and-go-seek! Those are like some majordisregard for rules! It's like a state law!

It's okay. I was lucky I stopped him from his horrible continuation of defying play laws. As a reward for my actions, I bought myself a Dora bike. I smiled in content as I peddled. I didn't even care if people saw me. I was proud to be an honorary explorer.

I heard a car honk and wiz past me.

That fucker.

"What are you doing now?" he yelled from his car.

"I bought a bike BITCH!"

"I said get another carride home! Not a ridiculous excuse for a bike!" he yelled. I stopped pedaling immediately.

Oh hell no.

He talked smack….on Dora. He stopped his car with a loud screech and I hopped off my bike. I was gonna beat his ass.

"Get out the car Damon. I'LL MAKE YOUR FACE A RIDICULOUS EXCUSE OF A FACE!"

"You can't catch me." He smirked.

"I'm not talking to you anymore!" I yelled. I heard him laugh hysterically as he drove away. Oh, he thought I was joking. Ok, ok…..I could play.

I got on my bike once again and made my way home. It was around 3:00 when I got there and I was pretty tired. I took out my keys and unlocked the door. I just left my bike outside. I knew I should've hidden it, but I was so tired. I yelled out, "Anyone home?" there was no answer, not even a sound of movement downstairs. I guess Jason wasn't even home. I hoped he wasn't hanging around with friends. Then he would be happy.

I didn't want him happy.

I walked trudged upstairs and threw my purse on my bed. Even though I was tired, I wasn't sleepy. If you know what I mean. I know that sounded a little confusing.

I looked around for something to do. I wasn't in the mood to watch TV for 6 hours and I was too tired to go outside. So I went with playing my guitar for a while. I was able to play it without fear of getting caught so I took advantage of the chance.

I fumbled with it for a hot minute and played tunes from other songs. Eventually I got into it. I started to play apologize by One Republic. My hands grazed over the strings and for a shot second, I felt safe. I felt kinda happy and calm. There were no tears; there were no thoughts about death or sadness. I just let it flow and it felt good.

I'm holdin' on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground.
And I'm hearin' what you say,
But I just can't make a sound.
You tell me that you need me,
Then you go and cut me down...

But wait...
You tell me that you're sorry,
Didn't think I'd turn around...
And say...

That it's too late to apologize.
It's too late...
I said it's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
Yeah!

I'd take another chance,
Take a fall, take a shot for you.
I need you like a heart needs a beat,
But it's nothin' new.
I loved you with a fire red,
Now it's turnin' blue...
And you say...
Sorry, like an angel
Heaven let me think was you...
But I'm afraid...

It's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
I said it's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
Whoa!

It's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
I said it's too late to apologize.
It's too late.

I said it's too to apologize. YEAH!
I said it's too late to apologize. YEAH!
I'm holdin' on your rope,
got me ten feet off the ground.

I ceased the strumming and heard something from outside my window. I ran to it to check it out. There stood Damon, in all his glory looking up at me from the ground.

"Hi there cutie pie!"

I stared at him with the most hatred I could. He pissed me off today.

"Oh come on! Are you still mad at me?" he asked.

I didn't say a word. I just stared.

"Jade! Seriously! After all the fun we had." He said with such a dirty voice.

Damn, I wanted to yell at him, but he had to know who he was dealing with.

"So you're not gonna say anything to me?" he asked.

Nothing,

"Jade?"

Natta.

"Jadeyn!"

Oh! Getting serious now huh? I was shaking in my boots. I meant that to be heard sarcastically. You know….even though I wasn't really speaking and all.

"Do you want me to apologize?" he asked incredulously.

I tilted my head a little raised my eyebrows in a way that said 'well…..yea'

"Oh come on! You can't be serious!" he yelled from the ground.

I furrowed my eyebrows and shut the door to my balcony. Ass.

I heard him yelling from the floor, "Are you kidding me right now!"

I shook my head even though no one was watching.

"Jade! I know you can hear me!" he yelled.

I took out my iPod and put the ear buds in my ears. I turned it up as high as it would go and moved my head with Beyoncé. I prayed to this woman and her beautiful voice. Yep! I prayed to Beyoncé, not God.

I was moving my head along for a few minutes, then I saw Damon's figure behind my balcony doors. How the hell did he get up there? He stood there with a glare on his face. His stupid ass was glaring at me! He should be glaring at himself!

I know it wasn't really possible, but If I could get a mirror and put it in front of him, I could make history! Actually, that's been performed before. I mean, I look in the mirror all the time.

But he would still feel it! He would feel the pressure of his own glare!

I pursed my lips and put my arms up in a 'whatcha you want fool!' or a 'COME AT ME BITCH!' kind of way.

He continued to glare and I got up and went to my restroom. I was gonna take a shower. Yes, a shower. He could go jack off in a corner. That wasn't my room.

Well I mean, I wouldn't give a shit if he did it in Dave's room. He could jack off in buckets and spill them all over the floor! Then, Dave's room would be flooded in Damon's jack offs!

I was really gross today.

I turned on the shower and walked back outside to see Damon's mouth open in anger. Oh yes! Be angry!

I didn't even know why he was just standing outside. The door was open. I guess he didn't know that.

"Jade!" he yelled….I think…..my headphones were blasting. I just saw his mouth moving.

I turned around and kissed my hand, and then I smacked my ass as if to say 'kiss my ass'.

I told you all, I'm the master at this. I did it in such a mature way!

I went to my bathroom and shed my clothes. I got in the water and sighed in contentment as the hot water hit my back. It felt really good.

I closed my eyes and started to hum some melody I made up. I scrubbed and ran the hot water through my hair. I still didn't have shampoo, so I had to improvise with my bar of soap.

I had to admit, I think I did a pretty good job.

When I was finished, I got out and an epiphany hit me like a ton of bricks. I forgot a towel. Crap! I stuck my head out to see if Damon was still there. And he was. Leaning casually against the wall that held the doors in place.

I gave him a glare and stuck out my arm to tell him to move. He saw this and just smirked. He smirked the biggest smirk I had ever seen. Teeth showing and eyes dancing. I used my hands to tell him to move again, but he just stood up straight and crossed his arms over his chest.

I rolled my eyes in irritation and went back into the bathroom. Whatever, I would just put on my jeans and cover my chest with my shirt.

I did just that and if Damon could smile wider, he did. The sun was still out and it glittered across my wet skin. I went to my drawer and took out my PJ's. My back was bare toward Damon and my shirt wouldn't cover it, so he was getting a half show. Whatever, I was fine with it, as long as he didn't get the whole show.

I went into the downstairs bathroom and put on my PJ's. I was wearing just a long sleeved shirt and cotton shorts. I got really hot at night, but then it got cold in the morning. Ugh! I had school in the morning. I forgot.

I went back to my room to find Damon, still there, but the smirk was gone and replaced with a frown. I wasn't gonna let him in.

I got on my bed and lay down. I could wait. I was in a warm house and it was gonna get cold soon anyway.

I put up my legs and kicked them around. I was completely awake now. I didn't know what it was, but Damon put the kid in my again and all of a sudden, I was happy again.

I switched positions and moved my head so that it was hanging over the side of the bed toward Damon. He was still glaring at me. I didn't know why he couldn't just apologize. It was 2 words.

I held my two fingers up and smiled at him. Two words Damon, just two. He rolled his eyes and muttered something incoherent. I put my hand to my ear and he said it louder. I got up and walked to the door and put my hand to my ear again.

"I'm sorry!" he yelled.

I nodded with a smile and went back to my comfortable bed.

"Wait! That's it? Say something now!" he yelled.

I took out a book that I bought from the book store and my stuffed Dora. I sat her in my lap and began to read the book, not really.

"I know you aren't really reading that book, Jadeyn!" he yelled.

I grabbed my Dora doll and flung it in the air and caught it. I was messing with him to an extreme level.

"What do want?"

I flung the Dora doll again and smiled innocently.

"You're kidding me."

I shook my head.

"I am not apologizing to a stuffed Dora doll." he said with confidence.

I shrugged and went back on to reading my book. Such an ass…..

"I'm not gonna do it Jade!" he yelled.

I didn't say or do anything.

"Are you serious?"

I nodded.

"I'm sorry DORA!" he yelled.

I got up and ran to my balcony door. I opened it and kissed him on the cheek. It was so weird how close we were, but I barely knew him.

"Thank you." I said childishly.

He tapped his foot impatiently and glared at me again.

"What do you want me to say? I told you I wasn't going to talk to you if you talked smack about Dora." I shrugged.

"its fine, I got a little preview of what's to come."

"Bull shit! You got a preview of something you're never gonna get!" I yelled.

"Yeah yeah, wanna invite me in?" he asked me.

"No, not really." I said.

"Please Jadeyn?" he asked me. I rolled my eyes and held out my arms, "Damon Salvatore, would you please come inside my home and let me embrace your awesomeness."

"Of course Jadeyn." He said cheerfully.

"You can't talk smack on Dora though!" I blocked him.

"Fine fine, I won't talk smack on Dora." He held up his hands in defense.

"Cause she can kick your scrawny ass with her purple backpack and monkey. Boots will scratch your face!" I said.

"Yeah, the monkey will cause me personal harm." He rolled his eyes.

"No, I don't think you understand. He will take his boot off and beat your ass senseless! Then he will collect your blood in his boot and give it to Dora as a present!"

"Can I please enter your house without death threats from a fiction based cartoon character." He looked at me.

"tu madre es una cabra embarazada con el pelo rubio" I muttered.

"What does that mean?" he asked me.

"Your mother is a pregnant-"he cut me off.

"Oh my God." He muttered and pushed past me and into my room.

I guess he was cool to hang out with…..

Hi there. This chapter is done. A lot of Dora. Jadeyn likes Dora. She likes Dora and she likes random stickers. Those are her passions right there. Just saying. Thanks for the people that reviews for my other story. I think I'll continue, I just have to get out of the phase I'm in. It's the 'omygosh I don't know what to right about next' phase.

I'll get over it soon.

Review please. I updated quickly because of them.

They inspire me.

Love you guys.
