Author's Note: So, I haven't died, yah! But I'm sorry about not updating before this, testing is finally over {sigh of relief} but today i got down with some virus. Home from school early. Naturally I went straight to my laptop and started writting, just for you guys. So, here's the next chapter. Hopefully the next will be up in a few days. Enjoy!:
Previously:
"What happened between you two?" Stefan asked, looking between me and Damon. "When I got home both of you had disapeared. And then I got a text from a mystery number with you both only in your underwear… what happened?" he repeated more sternly.
Stefan shook his head, but Damon said, "Yep." I turned to give him a look, but he continued, "Just like he was on human blood during that pagent." Damon held his hand over his mouth and started to whisper like it was a secret, "But don't tell Elena. Stefan doesn't want her to know." He winked and then headed inside the house.
Anna shook her head and buiried her face in his chest, "No. I got home. The tomb vampires they –they- they killed Harper and my mother, because she threw them out." She sobbed.
"Anna?" I asked, she looked at me, "I know it's not my buisness really. But would you like to stay here?" I asked kindly. "If the tomb vampires killed your mother, then they probably want you too. And our house has that seal that keeps vampires out."
Once Alaric had left I asked Jenna, "Hey, Jenna, Anna's mom is going on a trip for a while. Would you mind if she stayed here?"
Chapter 9:
Jenna eyed me suspiciously, "Why do I have the feeling that you are all keeping secrets from me?" she hung up her coat and turned back to me.
I sighed, "It's just high school." Jenna seemed to buy it, "So, can Anna stay here for a while?" I asked, knowing that Anna and Jeremy were listening upstairs.
Jenna studied me, "Since when did you like Anna so much?" she inquired. I sighed to myself 'she picks now to notice everything' I thought to myself.
I shrugged, "You're avoiding the question."
Jenna looked up the stairs at Jeremy's door and then back down at me, "Alright," she raised her voice so Jeremy could hear, "But she sleeps in the guest bedroom." Jenna gave me one last look before going up the stairs and heading for her bedroom.
I walked back up to Jeremy's room and looked at them. Anna had stopped crying –she was never someone that looked like she would cry- and she was just sitting next to Jeremy, his arm around her shoulders, conforting her. I waved and turned to shut the door.
Before I had reached for the door, Jeremy spoke, "Elena." I turned around, "Thanks… for helping Anna. And, um, I forgive you for the whole memory thing."
I smiled slightly, "Thanks Jer." I started to shut the door, but then I peaked in, "And Jenna was serious about Anna sleeping in the guest bedroom you know." I added before he gave me an eye roll and I walked out.
When I walked into my room I gasped lightly. Damon was lying on my bed, my teddy bear on his chest. He smirked, "You've been ignoring me." he noted.
I sighed, "My phone died." I lied easily. I grabbed a tank top and sweats before heading to the bathroom to change –seeing as my room had Damon in it.
Once I had changed, and brushed my teeth I walked back in my room. Damon was still lying on the bed, holding my teddy bear. I walked over to him and grabbed the bear out of his hands. He smirked, "So, why are you ignoring me?" he asked again.
I prused my lips, "I need time to think." He rolled his eyes, but I continued, "I just want to make sure that everything is back to normal before I make the choice."
Damon smiled slightly. "What are you smiling at? You never smile." I asked suddenly. Damon flipped over and looked at me.
"That means that somewhere along the way, you decided that I was worth of choosing." But as I opened my mouth to respond, Damon was gone. Damon never said stuff like that, it wasn't him. Was he really changing from the complete ass that I had once known, into a person who still had some humanity? I guess I would have to find out.
I did the only thing that I thought was right, I wrote in my diary.
Dear Diary,
After Stefan attacked me a few days ago, he left. Me and Damon went all the way to Pittsburg to find him, but he turned out to have come back to Mystic Falls. And then Damon took me to a bar. Next thing I knew, it was morning and I was in only my bra and underwear!
But then Stefan called and texted us. There was a picture of me kissing Damon! But no one knows who sent it! And Stefan is worried that I was slowly getting closer to Damon, and at the same time, drifting away from him.
And was I really falling for Damon? Like I had said, I had always loved Stefan, and I always will. But in some different way, I did like Damon. Stefan made me feel safe, and he would always protect me. But, if leaving was the right thing, he would do it. Damon, though, was dangerous. He would do things to protect me that I couldn't even immagine –but I don't think he would ever leave. But with him, I worry he see's me as Katherine, rather than Elena.
Pearl died. The tomb vampires came and killed her and Harper because they were trying to stop them from destroying the town. Anna is going to stay at our house, because vampires have to be invited in here. Jeremy finally forgave me for having Damon erase his memory, because –no matter how much I didn't like Anna for kidnapping me- I invited her to stay here. Because she means something to my brother and I cant see him hurt again.
I have to make the choice between the two brothers. If you asked me a month ago which brother I wanted, the answer was clear, Stefan. But now, I feel torn. And I don't want to rush into my descision and then regret it.
-Elena
I placed the diary down and then settled into bed. Just as I was about to close my eyes, there was a knock at the window.
Author's Note: Sorry about the chapter being shorter. Exams this week, and I am going crazy! I promise the next one will be a little longer.
-So, who do you want to be at the window? Review and tell me who it should be. I'll do whatever you want me to for that! A little treat from me!
-I know Damon was a little OOC. But after watching the season finale for the… 200th time, I realised Damon does have his nice moments. So, I decided to add my form of that into this story. I hope you guys arent mad at me for making Damon have a little nice side. I will try to keep him in charcter later on.
