The monster in the shadows
Chapter 10
Elena held onto Damon's hand as they entered the hospital. Damon couldn't wait to see if Lilly was doing okay. The doctor was in the room and shook Damon's hand.
"How is she?" he asked looking at her and noticing a few get well balloons.
Who would send those to her?
"The good news is that she has some brain activity and the swelling seems to be going down. It's good news Damon. It's not the best, but it's still a step in the right direction."
"Thank God."
"I'll give you some alone time with her."
"Doctor, Do you know who gave her those balloons?"
"Your parents of course. They came to visit her earlier this morning."
"Thank you doctor."
When the doctor left Damon grabbed a pair of nearby scissors and popped the balloons much to Elena's surprise. He kept on stabbing them until there was nothing left.
"Damon stop." Elena said taking the scissors out of his hands.
"They aren't good people Elena. They don't deserve to see her."
"They're her parents Damon. What are you trying to tell me?"
"I can't tell you right now Elena. Just know that no matter how fake my parents act they're not good people. Trust me on this one."
Elena took Damon's hand and pulled him into a hug squeezing tightly.
"Whatever it is Damon we'll get through it together. I'm not leaving you alone in this."
"Thank you."
Damon and Elena sat in the unaccompanied chairs and Damon took Lilly's hand.
"Good job today Lilly. You keep that fight in you okay. I want you to meet someone this is Elena."
"Hey Lilly." Elena said smiling and taking her other hand.
Damon stroked Lilly's hair.
"She's one of the good ones Lilly and I really like her. I was just hoping that she could be my real girlfriend. What do you think? Should I ask her?"
Lilly squeezed Damon's hand and he laughed.
"Oh my God. She squeezed my hand."
"That's amazing Damon."
He laughed and Hugged Elena. She pulled away and kissed him.
"I would love to be your real girlfriend so my answer is yes."
He smiled and they went back to watching Lilly.
