DISCLAIMER: I do not own anything from The Vampire Diaries.
Here I am, sitting with my best friends, several magazines surrounding us. It's been three weeks since the night of the accident and I don't think I've been left alone since. I don't mind it though because I'm still a bit uneasy after the accident. I'm definitely still sore but the pain meds I'm on really help drown it out. The doctors are saying I could be out of this place soon which sounds amazing. The food here is the worst. Caroline and Bonnie have been sneaking in food from the Grill and lots and lots of candy. After my surgery, the doctors were able to stop the internal bleeding and other than the pain throbbing in my ankle and elbow I was feeling great.
They needed to keep me in so long after because the recovery from the surgery wasn't going as smoothly as they hoped. I've been going to physical therapy every day and I'm also seeing a counsellor for the PTSD.
As for Damon, the doctors didn't want anyone but family after I last saw him as they thought a lot of people would be overwhelming so I saw him once a couple of days ago but he was with Stefan and his Dad so it was pretty awkward. The police are also investigating to find out who did all of this. I told them everything I remember. Apparently, it was a hit and run situation. They did abandon the car though, but just before the crash, they had stolen it from the Mayor. Crazy, right?
"I want these shoes so bad!" Caroline whines pointing to the page she was reading.
"You want every pair of shoes," I said as I glanced over the article about the newest makeup trend.
"So not true, there are so many ugly shoes out there but these ones are amazing!" She squeals.
"I miss school and hanging out with everyone." I blurt out of nowhere.
"We miss you too Lena," Bonnie says quickly grabbing hold of my hand and offering a sweet but sympathetic smile.
"I wonder when I'm getting out." I sigh and continue. "Hopefully soon because the Winter Formal is next week."
"Speaking of how's Damon? He hasn't been in school and I'm pretty sure his shoulder is fully healed." Caroline asks.
"He came here a couple of days ago with Stefan and Giuseppe." I shrugged.
"Where were you guys going when the car got hit?" Bonnie asked.
"Well, I was having a bit of a meltdown so Damon asked if I wanted to go to his place and watch a movie so we did and then, well, you know the rest." I sighed. I know Damon might think what happened was his fault but it wasn't. It was a simple accident.
"So, um Jeremy filled me in on what he walked in on. Have you and Damon talked about it? Does Stefan know?" Bonnie said with a hint of judgment in her voice.
"Wait, what happened between you and Damon?" Caroline asked.
"When he came in after I woke up, we kissed. It was quick, it doesn't change anything." I said trying to hide my true feelings.
It's not like I'm in love with him or anything. It's just I have this feeling when I'm around him that I just can't shake. I don't think we would ever be together like that. I don't think that's what he wants anyway.
"Oh, that's not what I heard. Jer said if he didn't interrupt you probably wouldn't have stopped!" Bonnie said and I felt my cheeks heat up.
"Okay, okay it was amazing, but it was all in the moment nothing more."
"So you haven't talked about it?" Caroline asked.
"Nope and there's no need. So what's the plan for Winter Formal?" I said smoothly changing the subject.
Later that day Jenna was helping me pack up my stuff so we could go home. The doctors decided I was okay to go home since I haven't slept right since the accident. I'm hoping my own bed with help with that. She signed the discharge forms and listened to all the doctor's advice. After an hour or so I was finally back in my own bed.
"Now Jer is bringing up the spare TV and I'll set it up so you don't get bored and I'll get anything you need-" She rambled.
"Jenna I'm fine, I'm feeling ten times better by just sitting in my bed. You don't have to worry." I said.
"I know its just, you're parents died in a car crash and you could have died in one too. I don't know what I would do if I lost you." She said tears filling up in her eyes.
"Hey, Jenna I'm here and you're gonna be stuck with me for awhile." I laughed placing my hand on top of hers.
She laughed and nodded her head before leaving the room. Jeremey dropped in the TV and set me up and wished me a good night.
"Come in." I said when I heard a light knock on my door. The door opened and I was very surprised to see who was behind it. Our eyes connected for the hundredth time and I couldn't fight the smile off my face.
"Hey." He said closing the door never breaking the eye contact.
"Hey" I replied smiling. "Not even a life threatening car crash can stop you smiling." He said walking further into my room.
In his hands were two grocery bags filled with candy, soda and many more treats. He noticed me scanning the bags and placed the beside me on my be before sitting on the edge.
"I stopped by to store to pick up some of your favourite movies and candy because I knew you probably had to eat the disgusting hospital food and you've probably lost your taste buds by now and-" He rambled. "Damon stop, thank you." I cut in.
"You seem nervous" I noted.
"Me, nervous? No way." He scoffed.
"Sure." I laughed and patted the other side of my bed motioning him to join me.
He walked over put the bags on the bed, kicked off his shoes and climbed in beside me.
"So, I got some chocolate bars, candy, which includes sour patch watermelon since you cleared two bags at my apartment, some sodas and chips, oh and i picked out the worst looking chick-flicks i could find." He said sorting through the bags.
"Oh yes, my favourites." I laughed as he groaned.
"How are you doing?" He asked. "Stupid question I bet you feel like shit." He added.
"Well the painkillers help a lot and I feel a lot better." I shrugged.
"That's good I guess." He sighed and we both stared at each other. "Look about what happened at the hospital, we were both drugged up and wanted comfort so-" He continued.
"It was stupid and we should just forget it." I smiled showing my agreement.
"Yeah and you're only out of a long relationship with my brother so let's not mention it to him."
"As if i'd go telling Stefan we kissed. I'd like you to still be alive." I laughed thinking of Stefans reaction.
"Alright Lena slow down, the guy couldn't hurt a squirrel."
"You should've seen him when Matt tried to kiss me at a party. Let's just say Matt got a hangover and a black eye the next day." I laughed at the memory.
"Damn that's a surprise." He replied awkwardly.
"Alright I think it's time for the chick flicks." I giggled as Damon rolled his eyes.
Elena had fallen asleep about an hour ago on my chest. I knew it would be weird when she woke up but she just looked so peaceful, as if this was the first proper sleep she'd had in weeks. You can still see the scratches from the glass that must have scraped her face when the window shattered. Her face was paler than usual but she still looked amazing. I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket so I took it out to see who was calling. I felt Elena stir slightly so I gently moved her off of my chest and walked into her connecting bathroom.
"What's up Klaus?" I asked.
"Damon where are you right now, I need to talk to you." He said nervously.
"I'm at Elena's, what's going on?"
"Can you meet me?" He asked frantically.
"Uh sure, why though what's happening?" I said confused.
"The accident you and Elena got in wasn't an accident." He said.
"Yeah the police already told us that, hit and run, Mayor's car." I said sighing. I thought everyone knew this already.
"But they don't know who did it, I do."
"How would you know Klaus?" I asked cautiously.
"Because I.." He paused
"You what Klaus?" I said getting angry.
"Because I was fucking involved Damon!"
Alright I am so sorry for disappearing for so long. I wasn't motivated to write so I have been writing this chapter for months on end. I think I deleted 5 versions of this because I just wasn't happy but I really miss this. So I hope you enjoyed this chapter even though it's not very long, I just wanted to get one out again. I am really gonna try and finish this story because I feel so bad. Also if you're interested in any other story I've written here I will be putting them on pause because I want to focus on this. Thank you to everyone who is still interested and I'm so sorry!
