C3.
"Damon!"Elena yelled, panicked. "Damon, help." She yelled out for her best friend. "DAMON!" She yelled as loud as she could, knowing as soon as she reached Damon, she would be safe.
"Lena. Elena,"Damon murmured, shaking the teenager slightly. "Elena Rose Gilbert, wake up."Damon growled, worried. He shook his best friend harder, more frantically.
"NO!"Elena screamed, sobbing. She jumped forward from her pillow and stared Damon in the eyes. "Damon."She yelped, throwing herself into the shocked vampires arms. "You died, and you wouldn't come back."Elena sobbed into his neck, gripping his shirt tightly. "I told you I hated you, and you died. I didn't mean it Damon. I don't hate you! Someone tried to hurt me. I knew that once I'd found you, I would be safe, but you died!"Elena cried.
"Shh. It's okay honey. It was just a dream, I'm right here. I know you don't hate me."Damon soothed the crying girl.
Elena was suddenly gripped by a overwhelming fear, a fear that made her breath hitch, her body tremble. Made her voice catching in her throat. She pushed Damon backwards onto the bed gently, straddling him, "Don't ever die. Please, you can't leave me."She said breathlessly, caressing his face.
"Okay,"Damon muttered, his eyes locked with Elena's. Elena sighed, nuzzling her head into Damon's shoulder, still straddling him.
She breathed in his scent, smiling lightly. "You're shirts usually help me sleep."She frowned, lifting her head up to look at Damon.
"You dropped it on the floor, honey."Damon murmured in her ear, kissing her forehead gently. Elena frowned.
"Oh."She muttered, lifting her head up. Her eyes locked with Damon's, and she bit her lip, her thought troubling her. "Am I usually that restless?"
Damon cocked his head to one side, and studied her for a moment. "No?"He mumbled, curling a strand of hair around his finger. "Should I be worried, Lena?"
Elena kissed his cheek slowly. "No, I'll be OK. We'll be okay, Demon."She grinned. "Whats the time anyways?"
Damon's head turned towards their clock on the bedside table and grimaced. "10 past 10.."Elena gasped, then threw herself off of Damon.
"I've got to get ready. You've got to get ready! C'mon, Demon."Elena exclaimed in one breath. She started running around the room, grabbing last minute things, and shouting for Jeremy. "Jer, Get ready!"She shouted.
"He's getting ready Len."Damon smiled, taking his clothes from the drawers and walking into the bathroom too give Elena and himself some privacy as they changed.
Elena quickly threw her discarded PJ's into the washing basket in the corner of the room. She pulled a white tank over her head, a pair of light blue skinny jeans, and a knitted black cardigan over her tank. She buttoned up her jeans, and sat on the bed to put on her socks and blue converse that Damon bought her to replace the ones that were ruined in the accident.
"I'm ready, Jeremy. You Ready? Damon?"Elena yelled, grabbing hers and Damon's suitcase from their bedroom and pulling them down the stairs. She pulled them to the front door and walked through into the living room.
"Jeremy Leonardo Gilbert!"Elena exclaimed, staring at her little brothers -bent over the television- body. "You are Not taking the Xbox."
"But, but why?"Jeremy whined. "Damon, tell her."Damon was leaning against the wall, watching the two siblings bicker in amusement.
"Damon, don't tell her."Elena's head whipped around to glare at the raven haired Salvatore.
Damon smirked at the Gilbert's. "No, baby Gilbert. No xbox."Elena grinned, Jeremy scowled.
"Ugh, dude. You are SO whipped."Jeremy muttered, loud enough for only the vamp to hear. Damon growled playfully at him, not denying it. "Why not though Lennie?"
Elena sighed, "Because, kid, you'll be on it the entire time we are at aunt Jenna's!"she explained, leaving no room for argument as she unplugged her laptop charger and stuffed it in her bag.
"Guys, I have a present for you both.."Damon spoke, earning excited yet curious looks from the teens.
"What is it?"Elena and Jeremy asking in unison. Damon grinned and held up one long finger, signalling the pair to wait.
He retreated into the kitchen and grabbed the two boxes from the counter. "Here you go, Len."Damon handed Elena hers first, then gave Jeremy his.
"No way!"Jeremy yelped in excitement as he got his brand new black iPhone 5 out of the packaging. "Thanks, man."He mumbled as he stole the car keys out of Damon's hands and headed to the car, playing with his phone.
Elena opened hers and smiled. "Thank you, Demon."She plucked her white iPhone 5s from the box. "The exact one I wanted!"She giggled, and walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his waist.
"You're welcome honey."Damon mumbled, leaning down to kiss her cheek. Elena then returned the favor and kissed his cheek. "Lets go."Damon sighed as Elena untangled her arms from him.
About 20 minutes later, the trio sat in the blue convertible, singing and joking on the way to the airport. Elena could feel the dread settle in her stomach.
I need to control my emotions. She thought. Her and Damon had discussed that although they had no idea why they were so connected, that they would just have to go along with it, instead of running.
"I know this is going to be hard, but remember the longest its going to be is 4 days, OK Vamp lover?"Damon told Elena, cuddling her small body closer too his, inhaling her scent.
"I know, I'll miss you, Demon."She mumbled, burying her head in the crook of his neck, before allowing Jeremy to say his goodbyes.
Jeremy and Elena smiled sadly at Damon. "See you soon,"they spoke in unison. The waved albeit slowly, then turned around to board the plane.
