AMY'S POV

Run.

Blurry shadows were all I could see. Step after step. Breath after breath.

I had always been a good runner since I was a child. Mike had taught me how to use my breath, how to take my steps-

I entered the white building and that disgusting smell filled to my nostrils. I took my phone and dialed Dan's number

"Are you in the Emergency?"

"Yeah. How did you come so fast?"

I hung up, and ran again. That was the only thing I could think, run. Don't even breathe, just freaking run!

My fast steps stopped when I saw my brothers on a bank in the corridor.

"How is he?" My voice sounded so weird, so throaty. They turned their heads and Will came, wrapped his arms around me. A sob which I couldn't repress ripped itself from my throat and I took deep breaths, trying to calm down

"He's…he'll be alright, they can't tell anything yet though..." Will said quietly. Tears started to appear in my eyes, pricking and blurring my vision.

I pulled back "Can't we-can't we see him?"

"Not yet honey.." Dan said and I nodded numbly.

I'd always thought he was-they were invincible. My brothers, I mean. Like they had some kind of Achilles power that would prevent them from being harmed. As much as I hated to admit it, I'd always thought I was the one who was weak, among them. More…vulnerable one.

But here he was, reminding me that he was still a normal human with some kind of cruel way.

My legs weren't able to carry my weight anymore, and I nearly fell to the ground. I supported myself, leaning my hand to the wall to regain my balance and managed to sit to the bank.

My breaths were shaky, yet, I managed to hold back the tears. I wouldn't cry. I couldn't. I hated crying, and there was nothing to cry, he would be fine.. He had to.

None of us said anything for ten minutes, the silence felt like it was crashing me. I just looked at the white wall like hypnotyzed. I pulled my knees to my chest and rocked back and forth, without knowing what I was doing..

"Amy, your phone."

I raised my head and realized my phone's ringing. I took the phone from my pocket to hang up, but then saw the number.

"Elena?" I whispered, my voice scratched my throat.

"Amy! Thank God! We're here, where are you?"

It took my five seconds to understand what she meant.

"You're-here?" I repeated quietly

"Yeah, are you in the emergency, or did they take him to a room?"

"Emergency.." I said slowly

"Okay, we're coming there." She hung up and I blinked dumbly. They came here? Why?

"Amy.." someone called my name and hugged me. I looked at her. Elena.

My eyes widened when I saw people behind her. Bonnie, Caroline, Matt…

I gulped

"What-what are you doing here?" I asked and Caroline hugged me.

"You didn't think we'd leave you alone in this condition, did you?" Bonnie asked "What kind of friends we would be?"

"And besides, think about that, your brother sees me when he wakes up and falls in love with me, it'd be so romantic…" Caroline whispered and I let out a shaky laugh

"If he wakes up."

"When he wakes up." She corrected me pulling back.

"So I'm buying coffee to everyone then?" Matt asked, taking off his jacket. "We seem like we'll be there for a while."

"Buy me one without sugar!"

"I want mine well-sugared!"

"And buy some food to Amy!"

"But don't buy any chips or something, Matt, buy something actually filling!"

"Alright mom!"

"Hey!"

My lips curled involuntarily. Were they aware of how special people they were?

A wise person once said; "Sometimes, you put walls up, not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down." And in that very night, that 4 people break those walls that I was afraid to break myself. That night, we became permanent friends, kind of friends I had never had before.

-3 days later-

"I told you right? Mike would never die in a hospital in which nurses aren't hot."

I burst into a laughter and Mike threw a pillow to Will's head.

"I wouldn't die in a hospital in which nurses are hot either little brother, I would be too busy with doing other things." He wiggled his eyebrows creepily

"Eww!" I said "Mike!"

He shrugged and one moment later his eyes focused on someone who had just cleared his throat behind me.

I turned around

"Luke! Hi!" I said

"Hey.." he smiled and made a nod towards my brother "I hope you feel better now, Mr Walsh."

"Mike." He corrected and smiled "Thank you..?"

"Lucas Reese." They shook hands and Will gave me a smug look. I mouthed 'Shut up!'

"I'm a friend of Amy's." He said in a respectful tone and turned to me

"Caroline sent you some notes.."

"Caroline?" I asked, puzzled, as far as I knew, Caroline never took any notes in the school. "Umm.. on, let's go outside."

We went out of the hospital room but I could still feel their glares, burning my back

"Ummm…" he said "Nice to see you."

"You too." I said

"Here's your notes.." he handed me the papers. I smiled

"Thanks.." I murmured "I hope I didn't give you trouble, if you were busy-"

"No,no, of course not." He said "No problem, don't even mention it."

We sat to a bank "So, when will you come back to school?"

"Well, I was going to come today, actually.." I said "But I couldn't wake up,so…"

"Do you..you know, need anything?" he asked and I shook my head

"No, I'm-we're fine, thanks. Again."

He grinned "And.. about this..animal." he said, looking into my eyes "Cheriff is my father's friend, he heard that your brother couldn't see it?"

I nodded "Yeah, it, attacked from behind and run. At least that's what he says." I paused "But it's weird, right? Animals in the middle of the town, attacking people."

For some reason he couldn't look me in the eye anymore "Yeah, weird.."

An uncomfortable silence fell between us and suddenly my phone beeped. I frowned slightly and opened the message.

"Say hi to Luke for me."

I let out a breath. Caroline, you're so dead!

"Anyway, I'd better go.." I turned my head as I heard Luke's voice "See you at school?"

"Yeap." I said, trying to focus "I'll- I'll wake up this time."

He nodded,

"Call me if you need anything."

"Sure.." I said as he stood up. I stood up also, and hugged him, feeling his respond

I pulled back "Bye Luke."

"See you later." He walked away. I waited for him to turn the corner, and grabbed my phone.

"You're unbelievable!" I whispered

"Why, thank you.." Caroline laughed and I sighed

"Since when you're taking notes?"

"They're Elena's, new girl." She said "She gave them to me, but I was..umm…busy, so I gave them to Luke."

I rolled my eyes "Whatever you think you're doing-"

"I think I gave a reason to Luke to run to your golden locks by giving him the notes. Am I wrong?"

"Caroline-!"

"Whoops, gotta go. Say hi to your hot brother from me!"she hung up and I gawked at the screen. Then I slowly shook my head and went into the room

"Aww, my sister is growing up-"

"Don't even think about it!" I said, through my teeth, trying to ignore their grins "Neither of you!"

I put my dish to the kitchen and rolled my eyes as I heard Caroline's rambling from the phone

"You have to admit, you guys have a chemistry!"

"Yeah, so do nitroglycerin and peroxide, but you don't put them together, right?" I said and she laughed

"Why don't you just try to hang out with him?"

"I am hanging out with him, Caroline, you started this ridiculous obsession after seeing us together, remember?"

"No, I mean 'hang out' as in.. Doing stuff. Dates and.."

I stayed silent and threw my body to the couch. There was no one in the house, Will and Dan had decided to stay with Mike, so, I was alone.

"Oh, so what, you're waiting for your prince charming?" she said

"No, I'm-I don't know." I said "Look, Caroline, I just moved in here, so don't you think I should wait a while? I mean, think about it, we went out and it turned out horrible. Wouldn't it be weird for everyone?"

"Well, you can't know it if you don't go out with him now, can you?" she asked and I shrugged, knowing she can't see.

The bell rang and I groaned

"I'll call you later, okay?"

"'Kay, bye." She hung up and I opened the door.

And that was when my heart started pounding in my ears.

"Damon." I said "Hi."

"Hi" he said "Umm… Elena said she needed her notes back, so.."

"Oh?" I said "Oh-okay. I'll just-bring them." I bit my lip "Would you want to wait inside?"

He smiled "Can I?"

"Of course, come in." I said and his lips curled upwards. He went in and leaned his back against the wall.

"I'll get them, wait here." I said, ran to the upstairs and took the papers from my bag. I went downstairs and gave them to him. He just smiled and put them on the kitchen table

"I heard about your brother." He said simply "Sorry."

"Oh, he's alright right now." I said "He gave me a heart attack, but.."

"Could he see what kind of animal it was?"

I shook my head "Everyone asks this, but he says that he couldn't. He was attacked from behind, so..." I frowned slightly "But, I think these kind of attacks occur in here frequently. I'm almost sure that I saw another news about it one week ago. A bear attacked a couple or something like that.."

He tilted his head to the right "Yeah, I remember that one too.."

"Is there a forest or wood lot around here?" I asked and he nodded, now looking at me differently

"Something like that."

I paused "Oh." I said, without knowing what to say

He cleared his throat and took a step closer. I felt that weird instinct inside of me again, and I took a deep breath. It wasn't normal for a person to be this paranoid!

"Amy.." he said "The reason I'm here…" he paused "You seem like a really nice girl."

I blinked, trying to understand what he meant actually "Thanks?"

"And I'm sorry for I'll do this, but you have to know.." he took another step and suddenly, my heart started pounding faster. Before I could think what he was doing, he had already took an another step

"It's all about the plan." he said in a voice that made my legs weak and caused me to freeze. He brushed my hair off my face, his fingers stopping on my neck and suddenly, he pulled back.

And the next second, the door opened

"Amy?" someone said, sounding surprised. I turned around

"Will? Hi!" I said, letting out a breath to calm my heart beat. I walked next to him and he frowned

"Who is this?"

Damon seemed angry for one second then stuck out his hand

"I'm Damon Salvatore."

"Stefan's brother." I added, "Oh, right, you don't know Stefan. Elena's boyfriend's brother. A-a friend of mine."

They shook hands

"I thought you were going to be with Mike tonight?" I said and he gave me a sharp look

"Plans changed."

Damon smiled "Anyway, Amy, thanks for the notes. See you later."

"Bye." I said as I watched him walk out of the door

"Amy-" I snapped out of my thoughts as I heard Will's voice "What's going on in here?"

I looked at him "Nothing. He just dropped by to take Elena's notes back."

Will raised one eyebrow

"Seriously-" I stopped in my mid-sentence when I got what he thought "You…Hey-Hey? What kind of girl do you think I am?" I exclaimed "You can't possibly think that-I would never-"

"Alright, alright.." he said "Just don't tell Dan, he may not understand."

I rolled my eyes "So what, he'd think I got a boy in my house while my brother was in the hospital?"

"Just saying.." he sounded tired

I sighed "I'm going to bed. Good night. "

"Goodnight."
