Chapter 9
AN: okay you guys I'm SO sorry that it took this long to write! I've been having insane writers block and it's been driving me nuts that I couldn't write anything! I'm sorry for the long wait and hopefully I can get back to my old writing schedule! Thanks for being so patient with this!
It amazed how I only got four hours of sleep. The things I saw when I dreamed were horrible. I couldn't sit there and see it. It was too terrifying for my own good. All I saw was pain and suffering. I saw Damon suffering and all I could is sit there and watch because I couldn't move. I wanted to be there for him but I couldn't. I tried and tried but I couldn't get to him. I begged and begged for me to be able to hold him but it was no use. My pleads wouldn't get me anywhere. I didn't care, he was my Damon and I was his Elena. And I wanted to do anything I could to help him, to save him from all his pain.
The dream scared me so I hoped in the shower. The only place where I know I'm safe and that I can think. I just stood there and the hot water relax my muscles. After just standing there for what felt like forever I decided I better stop wasting water. I stepped out of the shower and I felt so much better. It was already 5 o'clock so I blow dried my hair and straightened it. I've always hated my crazy, curly hair. After an hour of straightening my hair it looked better. It was long and flowing down to my hips. I hadn't cut my hair in years and I promised myself I wouldn't ever again.
Once my hair was done I put makeup on. I never liked makeup. I always thought it was for fake people but I put it on. Not pretty to make me look better or anything. All I put on was mascara and think eyeliner. I looked emo. I didn't care what people would say. I had lost everything anyway. Except Damon, but I have a feeling that he will be gone soon enough just like everyone else.
I walked to school. I didn't care if I was late. I was just done. I missed all my morning classes. When I got to school it was break. I quickly hoped the fence and I heard a voice.
"Sneaking into school everyday won't get you anywhere in life." I didn't know who this lady was but she was very pretty. She was insanely short and had black hair. She wore baggy clothes and thick eyeliner just like I did.
"This isn't something I do every day. Just had a bad yesterday and I don't care at the moment. Now if you'd excuse me I have places to go and people to see." Only I didn't, I had no one here anymore. Maybe Damon but I couldn't see him right now. I could feel the tears start to form as I walked away. And apparently she did too.
"Its Elena isn't it? Katherine's best friend right?" I turned in awe. Before I never cared that people called me that. But now, was a totally different story.
"Well…were not friends anymore, but yeah. That's how everyone knows me, I guess. Not as my own person. Just as Katherine's little bitch right? In case you haven't heard I'm done with Katherine. We are no longer friends. Now that she has little Lexi by her side she doesn't need me anymore. No one does."
"Honey don't say that. I know I don't know you or your situation with Katherine but someone does need you. More than you will ever know. You should come with me and my friends because I saw you yesterday at lunch with no one. Come and meet people. It's a new year and time for new adventures."
She grabbed my hand and pulled me along with her. I had no clue where she was taking me. She just dragged me and I met some of the most interesting people in my life. This girls name was Bonnie. She was beautiful without a doubt but something told me she didn't believe it. And then there was a boy named Tyler. He was obviously the school whore. But he and I just sort of came together. We were joking and laughing and having a good time. There was nothing emotional there. At least on my part there wasn't. And then there was Vicki. She had always been beautiful I gave her a hug because it felt right. I had known her long enough and no one cared. Apparently hugging people was nothing new to them. And then there was Caroline. I had seen her around but I never really knew her. She was friends with Katherine but I could tell she was nothing like her. And Anna, she was always somewhere else. I never understood why. She was staring into space. There were more people but they didn't stand out as much.
They were outcasts. I didn't understand why. They were amazing. They were funny and caring and I had no clue why I had never met them before. I felt like I finally belong. I was slowly walking to history with Anna. She was very nice. We talked about some of our favorite things. We came together. We were joking and laughing and having an amazing time. This girl was amazing but no one knew. I didn't care what people thought of her because they were wrong. Those people had been wrong in thinking of what they thought of these people. I'm glad I now know them.
It amazed me how things were falling back into place after such a short time of them falling apart. I knew this people were different than everyone else. But I didn't care. I didn't care because somehow I didn't feel like they would be my friends. But they would be my family.
