Happy Valentines Day! :):)
HPOV
I had gone to bed after Damon had left. Stefan stayed there, looking at me. I guess he was waiting for me to say something, but honestly I had nothing to say. What Damon had said was true; I didn't want to be here.
Falling asleep was easier than I thought it would be. I was more tired than I had thought.
I was sitting in Nate's tree house. I could see lots of people gathered down on the ground. There was a party, with music and drinks.
I stood and went to climb down, but when I landed I found myself in the boarding house living room. There on the couch sat four people.
There was a boy, with dark hair and green eyes. He smiled at me. There was a girl too she looked like Elena but her eyes were cruel and cunning. Damon sat on the arm of the chair; he looked at me with a hunger in his eyes.
The last person was me. I sat in between Damon and the boy. The dream me was dressed in a long sleeve white dress her hair flowing down.
"What's going on?" I asked my dream self.
She shrugged. "Don't ask me. I'm just stuck here." she sighed and turned to Damon. "You know I really do love him. Maybe you should too."
I shook my head at myself. "I want to be with Nate."
The boy laughed. "Always stealing my girlfriends."
Jack. I had read in my diaries that Nate had stolen Jack's girlfriend. "We dated." I noted.
He nodded, still smiling. "You're pretty amazing. That's why I died for you. I'd do it again too. Call me a sucker if you want but I loved you, and I would have done anything for you to love me back."
The mean Elena rolled her eyes. "Please. This girl doesn't just settle. She's a Petrova. She survives." mean Elena turned to me. "If you're wondering who I am, I'm Katherine."
"Bitch of the century." Damon spoke up. He was still looking at me with hungry eyes. "Elena comes to a close second." my dream self laughed, but Damon didn't even look at her.
"What do you want?" I asked him.
He stood. "Finally a question worth asking." before I knew it he had me pressed against the wall. "I want you to remember." he whispered, his breath brushing my ear. His lips kissed my neck softly. "Come back to me, Harmony. Come back."
I woke, pulling myself out of the dream. Nate. Nate is who I should be dreaming of. I shook myself, hoping the lingering kisses I could feel on my cheek and neck would disappear. It had only been a dream, so why can I still feel it?
A nagging voice in my head told me to embrace the feeling, but I pushed it down. That was old Harmony. This is new Harmony. I'm going to make my own choices.
I stood and moved to the closet where I had unpacked and hung all my clothes up. Looking at the collection of colours, I didn't know where to begin.
"I suggest blue. It'll go with you eyes." I turned to see Jeremy standing by the door.
"How long have you been there?" I asked, feeling vulnerable.
"Stress less. I'm human." he laughed. "I only just walked in. Damon had called your mum and said you don't want to be here anymore. I'm going to take you home." he shrugged.
"Home, as in the place I've already run away from a billion times." I remembered reading about running away from home, and once from Mystic Falls. Each time I had ended up being with Damon.
"Three times, not a billion. And yes. Where else would you stay?" he looked at me, waiting for an answer. I thought about Nate's but I didn't think I could stay there with Jaco. When I didn't answer Jeremy took that as an answer itself. "Home it is."
"Why can't I stay with you? I read we were really close..."
He sighed. "I would love to have you stay with me. I really would. But I'm actually leaving town today. I'm going on a business trip for a few days. But when I get back you can stay as long as you want." he smiled, hopeful.
"That's right. I read you're a substitute teacher. You move around a lot sometimes." I sighed, feeling beat. "I can't go back there. Don't ask me why, but the thought makes me freeze. I want to but there's something telling me not to. It want's me to-"
"Stay here." he nodded finishing my sentence. I didn't even know if that was what I was going to say. But after hearing it, it felt right. "I'll tell your mum you changed your mind. But no more running away. You have to stay here. The school thinks you're sick, so act like a sick person and stay home." he laughed, walking out.
I turned back to the wardrobe. I grabbed a blue and cream striped dress. When I had it on I looked at myself in the mirror and couldn't help but smile. He was right. Blue does go with my eyes.
SPOV
I waited in the lobby, ready to say goodbye to Harmony and Jeremy. Damon stood next to me. I had convinced him to wait with me, hoping he'd change his mind.
It hurt, knowing they had been together all that time. I had really thought I stood a chance. But just by looking at Damon, I could tell there was a connection they'd grown that I would never be able to break.
When Jeremy walked down the hall by himself I was surprised.
"She's not leaving. She doesn't want to." he shrugged, not stopping.
DPOV
Like music to my ears. She doesn't want to leave. Standing here I had thought I was an idiot. After last night I was sure I no longer stood a chance. But now there was a small glimmer of hope for me.
"Wait. She doesn't want to?" Stefan called out to Jeremy who was walking out the door now.
He shrugged. "Someone's got her hooked and she doesn't even know it."
I could feel the empty feeling inside me lessen slightly.
No judging, kay? Not saying that anyone has yet, but I mean I haven't really gotten to exciting stuff yet. Don't worry it's coming :P
Hope you enjoyed, don't forget to review :):)
Love and miss you all xox
