Hey! Here's the next chapter and I hope you like it! Please review!
"So you're not dating, are you?" Elena asked me at the grill.
I shook my head. "No, we aren't. We are just friends and that's all we'll ever be."
"But you want more, don't you?" Elena guessed.
Me and Elena were currently at the grill. Last night me and Damon just talked about things and I left around midnight. Damon insisted for me to stay but I don't think I would've been able to without something happening between us. Something that we both don't want.
"I don't know. I barely know him and I just wanna be friends right now, I think." I said. Elena nodded. Then Stefan came and sat down next to her in the booth. He kissed her cheek and smiled at me.
"Hope I'm not interupting?" Stefan said.
"Uh, no. I've gotta get going." I said, standing up. Elena gave me a sad smile and looked at Stefan. I just shrugged and walked out of the grill. I got into my car and started driving on the main road. My phone rang from my purse that was sitting in the passenger seat. I quickly reached into my bag and got it out, my eyes never off the road. I clicked send and said "Hello?" without looking at caller ID.
"Is this Miss Charlotte Johnson?" A man asked.
"Uh, yes." I said slowly.
"Well I work at Mystic Falls hospital and Miss Sarah Johnson is your aunt, correct?"
"Yes." I answered.
"She has woken up from her coma. She's asking for you." He told me.
"I'm on my way." I said. I waited for the doctor to say something else but he didn't. He just hung up. I made a u-turn and dialed someone else's number.
"Damon?" I said once it stopped ringing.
"Yeah?"
"My aunt woke up, I was wondering if you would come with me for like, support?" I asked. I was kinda scared Damon would just laugh and say no but, I didn't really have anyone else to call. Elena was with Stefan and Bonnie is staying at her dad's this weekend.
"Sure. I'll meet you there." Damon said. I sighed in relief.
"Thank you, Damon." I said. He didn't reply and just hung up the phone.
I got to the hospital in a couple minutes. Damon still wasn't there so I decided to wait for him in my car. I was just worried what is happening with Aunt Sarah. I was so caught up in my thoughts that when someone knocked on my window, I screamed. I turned my head and saw Damon. I relaxed. I opened my door and stepped out of the car, standing next to Damon.
"You scared me." I said, trying to steady my breath.
"Sorry." Was the only thing he said.
"Shall we go?" He didn't reply and followed me into the hospital. "Sarah Johnson, please." I said to the lady at the front desk.
"Are you family?" She asked.
"Yes." I answered. I saw she was also eyeing Damon. "He's with me." The woman nodded her head.
"Room 214." She said. I nodded and Damon grabbed my hand, squeezing it. I looked up at him and smiled. He led the way to the room and we were soon at her door.
"I'll wait here." Damon said. I nodded my head and opened the door.
"Char!" I was greeted by my aunt.
"Aunt Sarah!" I said, rushing to her bedside. "How are you?"
"Better now that your here!" I smiled at her.
"Is there anything you need?" I asked. She shook her head. "The doctor said you were asking for me?"
"Well, yes. Because, they won't leave me alone and I figured if you were here, they would let me be." She said. I nodded in understanding.
My aunt and I talked until the end of visiting hours. The doctors came in a few times but they stopped when we kept giving them the same answers to their questions. I didn't leave the room at all. I figured Damon had already left since we had been here for hours so there was no reason for me to leave the room, until a nurse came in.
"Miss, I'm sorry, but, visiting hours are over and I'm gonna have to ask you to leave." She said. I nodded and stood up.
"I'll be back sometime tomorrow." I told Aunt Sarah. She nodded and I left the room. I was surprised to see Damon sitting in one of the chairs. "What are you doing here?"
"I told you I'd wait." He said, simply.
"But I've been here for hours!" I exclaimed. Damon just shrugged.
"Ready to go?" He asked. I nodded and he stood up. He walked out of the hospital with me trailing behind. Damon walked me to my car.
"Bye Damon." I said, opening my door.
"Bye Charlotte." He said smiling at me. I got into my car and drove away. Damon waited until he saw my car leave the parking lot to walk towards his car.
I started thinking...maybe Damon did care.
