CHAPTER SIX

Drink after drink Damon drowned himself in his own self hatred. Elena hasn't stepped foot into their home for the past 4 days, he began asking the people close to her if they have seen or heard from her but they all said they hadn't heard anything of her for weeks.

His not stupid, he knows at least one of them Probabily has the infomation to exactly where she is, they just won't tell him and he doesn't blame them, if he were in their position he wouldn't tell himself either. He took another shot of bourbon and let the alcohol from the drink burn his throat, tightly his eyes closed from the world. Why did he have to be such an ass and mess up the wonderful relationship he had with Elena. If he wasn't so thick headed & concided than maybe he would've already married her by now.

He chuckled at his thought of course he wouldn't, he couldnt. Not after the events he had dealt with through his childhood. If he were anything like his deadbeat dad which it seems he has already become, then he would find someway to mess up their marriage.

Roughly he banged the glass on the wooden stall making the container shake from his great force. He threw a few bills in front of the bartender knowing if he stayed anymore than he already has he would get so wasted that he wouldn't even remember his own name. And that's something he did not want to repeat.

Finnally getting to his empty space, Damon lied his back on the leather couch and let his drinking knock him out completely. He groaned when he felt something scratch that more like someone shaking his muscular shape. He opened one of his eyes getting hit by the sun light shinning from his big living room window, groaning he closed his eye from the light and covered both of his ocean orbs with his left arm.

"Come on dude wake up." Alaric said going past the stink of strong alcohol filling the air.

"Leave me alone." Damon mumbled into his layed out arm, he wished he was in his bed at least then he would be able to cover his head with comfortable sheets.

"We're gonna practice today so
you need to get your sticking ass up right now !" Alaric felt like he was mothering Damon but if that was what it took to get his ass off the couch then he would happily obliged to that length of procedure.

"No I don't, just get the hell out of my house, as a matter of fact how did you get in here in the first place ?" Questioned Damon as he removed his arm away from his eyes so he could face his friend.

"You look like shit and you smell worst." Alaric said ignoring Damon's question.

"Wow thanks buddy." Damon sarcastically smiled at his friend.

"Your welcome, where's Elena ?" he asked knowing at this time in the morning she would be somewhere in the house.

Damon stared at Alaric like he was a dumbass, he would've expected Alaric to know since he is married to Jenna aka Elena's young aunt. "You don't know ?" he raised one of his thick eyebrows at him.

"No, me and Jenna went on vacation for our anniversary." Alaric stated with a smirk on his thin lips.

Damon sighed as he got up from his position on the big couch "She left me." Once off the couch Damon waltzed towards his own personal compartment of alcohol while fixing himself a drink from a very expensive brand of whiskey.

"What did you do Damon ?" he questioned knowing Elena had to have a very good reason why she would call it quits on their relationship.

Damon took a long sip from his drink then spoke "Well, I stupidly cheated on her with that chick that was all over me at the bar those weeks ago and last week Elena found out in a very unexpected time."

"You cheated on her ?" Alaric asked with wide eyes, he couldn't believe Damon would commit something deceitful as this.

"Yes grandpa, thanks for figuring that one out." he said with sarcasm in his voice as he brought his glass to cheer his friend on then took another gulp of his beverage.

Alaric scrunched his face in a annoyed expression at his friend's behavior "I can't believe you did that to her, what the hell were you thinking ?"

Damon scowled at him finishing his drink then went to whiskey bottle and poured more wood colored liquid into his clear glass "I wasn't thinking okay ? I fucked up and now I lost her." he sighed as he took another sip of his drink, whenever he drinked he became mellow and he really needed some numbing out especially for all the shit he got himself into.

Alric scoffed "I'm not surprised she left you. Elena doesn't deserve all the crap you put her through."

Damon raised one of his eyebrows at him, it seemed to him the way Alaric was talking about Elena she felt miserable in their past relationship "What's that suppose to mean ?"

"Well, the girl had to deal with a lot of your problems but not once has she given up on you and now you just found a new level to just push her away. So I'm not surprised she left you."

Damon took a sip of his drink finishing the contents inside of the clear glass, he walked to Alaric and said "Get the hell out of my house !"

He shook his head at his friend "Unless you clean up your mess, you'll never get her back Damon."

"LEAVE!" he yelled throwing his glass towards the fireplace, at that impact the object broke into tiny pieces on the wooden floor.

From the outbreak Damon had done, Alaric shook his head one last time at what Damon has become then left his home closing the door with a big bang.

Damon furiously combed his hands through his raven black hair and walked to his office. He had so much uncontrollable anger inside of his body that he began taking the little cabinet that had been hanging on the wall and threw it to the floor. Damon went to all the objects that seemed to stand tall and proud, and brought them down to the floor making a big mess in his precious study space. He laughed at the sight in front of him, it seemed kind of ironic because he made a mess of his poor life with a couple of stupid mistakes.

Maybe his father was right, maybe he was just a person that would amount to nothing... Maybe if he had tried his best to save his parents relationship when he had the chance then they would still be together till this day. After all his father had blamed him for their divorce.

Damon groaned at his own malicious thoughts, of course it hadn't been his fault his father acted like an ass throughout his parents marriage. That was one of the many reasons that he did not want to get married, he didn't want to turn into the selfish, conniving, unfaithful man his father once was.

A loud knock came from the big wooden door that was keeping the humongous and secluded house from the rest of the Hollywood world. She mumbled to herself when no one came to open the door, as she looked down in her Dolce & Gabbana bag she took out the spare key that her baby brother had given her.

Finally she had gotten the door open and was faced with the mess the had become of the very classical home, she firmly closed the door behind her as she strutted her heels on the wooden floor. When she found the room she was looking for, her warm smile dropped from her lips leaving a small frown in it's place. She sighed dropping her bag on the queen sized bed then walked towards the big Window and opened the burgundy drapes, the sunlight shined off the window presenting itself right on the body that layed quietly on the comfortable mattress.

She walked over to her brother then ripped the sheets off from his male form, she shook her head finding him only in his boxers "Waky, waky baby bro." She loudly said in his ear.

"Agggh !" Damon said as his eyes snapped open to the unforgiving light of the sun. Groaning he closed his steel blue eyes away from the sight in front of him.

"Oh come on, get up !" She said clearly frustrated with the way her brother had reduced to.

Damon responded by turning his body around so his face could be lying on his lumpy pillow.

She sighed and composed herself, if he was going to act like a child she would also act the same way. She climbed on the bed and straddled his bare back, she used her hand and smacked the back of his head then grabbed his hair to pull his face away from the small piece of comfort.

"Okay, okay I'm up." he rolled his body to the other side of the bed making her body fall off his back and land on the bouncy mattress.

"Finally, but dude you stink of alcohol." his sister spoke with disgust in her smooth voice.

"I really haven't noticed." he said sarcastically while he walked to the bathroom and took out a bottle of aspirin to calm down his splitting headache.

"Have you seen the magazines yet ?" She asked him from his room.

"No."

"Well you might want to take a look at it."

Damon splashed cold water on his face then wiped his face with his navy blue towel. He went inside his room again finding his sister siting on the bed with her legs crossed, in front of her there was a US weekly magazine.

Has the well known couple come to a split ?

On the front cover contained a picture of Elena in a retro bikini, the top part of it was somewhat covered by a pink shirt which was tied to the side so you were able to see her magnificent Stomach. While Damon's photo was where he wore a white T-shirt that showed off the abs that were hidden underneath it, dark pants and he was lying on the clear grass. In the middle of both pictures was a picture of them together from their last public party, that picture was shaped in a heart and was broken in half splitting them to the sides of the two separate photos of them.

He scoffed at the magazine and threw it on the bed, then he walked to the small table that was next to his bed and took a long gulp from the bottle of bourbon that had been there ever since last night.

"Is this why you're here Rebekah ?" he questioned.

"Nope, I came here because I just got back from Milan and I wanted to have lunch with my brother." she said truthfully.

"Why don't you go bother Stefan ?"

"I can't, don't you know he left to go to Hawaii 1 week ago ?" Rebekah asked while she raised one of her perfectly shaped eyebrows his way.

"Not really, my phone's been dead for the past few days."

Rebekah looked at him for a few seconds then walked up to him taking the half empty bottle away from his hand. She caught a whiff of the drink then grimaced at the smell.

"How many of these things have you had ?" she asked looking around the room a little more attentively noticing that there were more than a dozen empty bottles around his gigantic room.

"None of your business." he replied getting his drink away from her fingertips, he then took another sip from the alcoholic beverage letting the burning sensation he got from the amber liquid go down his throat.

She reached up for it and took the bottle away from his fingertips once again "You will not do this to yourself, not again." she said, knowing the subject she brought up was a very touchy one.

"Whatever, why don't you just go back to Milan and leave your brother to sulk with his dinking." he said as if he was talking to a little child.

"No can do baby bro, your a mess and I won't leave you like this." she said referring to his bummy appearance and the mess that had become his home.

"Who said I wanted your help ?"

"No one, but now that I'm here your going to need a good shower and some grooming, so go into that bathroom and get cleaned up because I won't go out with you looking like this." she stated, pointing her index finger towards his body.

"Fine, I'll go take a shower like a good little puppet." he said with sarcasm in his voice as he rolled his eyes at her then walked to the bathroom to take a very needed shower.

"You better smell good when you come out of there." she yelled from his room.

"Yes mother." He replied agitated by her constant orders but he knew if he didn't do as she said he would see the wrath of Rebekah Salvatore and that was not a pretty sight.

/

"So what really happened between you and Elena ?" Rebekah wondered.

"As the tabloids bluntly said, me and her broke up." He took his fry and dipped it into the small amount of ketchup that was placed in a minimum space on his plate.

"What happened ?"

"I cheated on her." he said softly, knowing that since they were in a secluded part of the restaurant there wasn't much people surrounding them, but he wasn't going to take his chances with someone finding out the truth on their breakup.

"You did what ?" she cleared her throat, letting the clear liquid fall through the right tube in her body than the way it wanted to go a moment earlier.

Damon groaned at her, why is it that everytime he admit the truth, he had to repeat again for people to understand what he had done. "I cheated okay ?" his eyebrows scrunched up in annoyance ruining his handsome posture his face usually holds.

Rebekah let out a soft sigh, she couldn't believe Damon had made the same mistake their father had done over and over again to their mother. Even though she loves her brother to death, She had the assumption that Elena was the one to break things off and for that she was proud to know that Elena isn't foolish enough to deal with that kind of treachery. "Didn't you learn from what our father had done to our mother that its very odiotic to cheat on the person your with ?"

The beautiful blue orbs vanished from her sight leaving behind frustration on her brother's face, he brought his hand to his face so his fingers could rub themselves on the bridge of his nose. "I know, I was out drinking and I wasn't thinking at that time. You know I am nothing like our dad was." he defended.

"Yes, but this- you will literary have to beg on your knees if you ever want her back." She gave him the best of advices because if it was her in Elena's position she would make him beg for weeks before considering to take him back in her life. Cheating on a person you love immidetaly takes away any amount of trust that person ever had for you, so she could understand why Elena had left him.

"You don't think I know that? I tried reaching her, her family, her friends but apparently no one knows where she is."

"Try harder, maybe their just not telling you where she is because she told them not to. Just think of a place she would go that you probabily wouldn't even suspect."

He took a bite of his burger then placed it on the plate again "I don't know... If I know Elena as I think I do then she would be with the person she trusts the most."

"There you go, whoever that is go to them... But I do advice that you give her some space."

"When did you become the relationship guru all of the sudden ?" he asked with an raised eyebrow.

Rebekah smirked at him "haha very funny brother." she said taking one of her hashbrowns and flicking it at him.

He smirked at his twin, even though she could be a very annoying pest at times he didn't know if his life could ever be somewhat normal if he didn't spend sometime with her whenever he got the chance.
