The First Cut is the Deepest

Chapter 4

Elena was focusing on doing her laundry when she heard her cellphone ring. She grabbed it not recognizing the number and answered her phone.

"Hello?" she asked folding one of her many shirts.

"Hey Elena, It's Liam."

"Hey, what's up?"

"I was wondering if you were doing anything today."

"No not really. Why?"

"I was wondering if you maybe wanted to grab some lunch with me."

"Ugh. Sure. Why not?"

"Great. I'll see you in a minute."

"See you in a minute."

Elena hung up and did the rest of her laundry as she waited for Liam. It wasn't a date, but it sure as hell would probably feel like one.

She got dressed just in time to hear the doorbell ring and opened it up for Liam. He smiled taking her in.

"So where do you want to go?"

"There's a carnival going on downtown. You want to go to it."

"Sure."

Liam smiled as Elena got into his car. She had to admit that it was pretty nice for a high school student

"Nice car."

Liam chuckled as Elena breathed in the new car scent. It was different then Damon's car, but there was also charm in it. Elena frowned. She didn't want to be thinking about Damon when she was on a date with Liam. After all Liam was cute and wasn't attached to anyone else. She sighed and looked out the window. This was going to be a long day.

When they got to the carnival, Liam took Elena's hand. She didn't really want him to, but she really couldn't complain about it. They walked across the carnival and even went on a few rides. That's when it happened.

Liam was telling a joke, when Elena saw him. Damon. He was holding Caroline's hand when they stopped in front of her and Liam. Talk about awkward.

Elena sighed as she gripped Liam's hand tighter.

"Hello Elena. Who's this charming man?" Damon asked as Caroline snuggled in closer.

"This is Liam. Liam this is Damon and Caroline."

"Nice to meet you." Liam said.

Damon shook Liam's hand as he cast Elena a snide glance.

"Nice to meet you Liam. Hey maybe we can all go on a double date sometime."

"That would be nice."

"Well i'll see you later Elena." Damon said taking Caroline away as Elena was left to wonder what the hell had just happened.
