Damon's POV

After Selina left the Boarding House tonight I felt horrible. She told me the truth on why Klaus was so willing to change her. I should have just kept my mouth shut. But she walked out on me this time. I didn't follow her like Stefan told me to. Alex looked at me with pain, hatred, and confusion on his face when Selina left. How do I explain to this kid that I was pissed that she turned for revenge against Katherine? How do I tell him I wish he hadn't turned? I would not want this life for him. But Selina made all the parenting decisions without once coming to tell me I was a father. I wasn't handling this the way Stefan would have. Ric took this better when he found out that Elena was his step-daughter. Not me though. I still couldn't keep my mouth shut. And there she goes again. I lost her 150 years ago. And now I lost again and this time it was my fault. I didn't know where she would go. She wasn't from Mystic Falls. She didn't even know how to get to the Grill. I had to show her. Maybe she really did go home. And Alex would follow her. They were close. He wouldn't leave her for me. And I wouldn't ask him to do so.

"What did you say to her?" Alex asked me after Selina drove off in her car.

"The truth. I told her that she should have thought about you before she turned in to a vampire."

"Like how you thought about her before you walked away from Mystic Falls in 1864. Don't tell me my mother never thought about me. She has given me everything. Now I don't know where she is going."

"First off kid, I didn't want to walk away from her. I was compelled to. And second, after I changed I didn't want to hurt her. I didn't have my hunger under control for a few months. And third, she said she was going home. So relax. Go get some bunny and you will be ok."

"Damon, leave the kid alone. He just saw you and his mother fight. And what you said isn't exactly what he should be hearing. Selina is a good mother. You can tell she loves him. Every time she says his name her eyes light up. So don't ruin this." Stefan stepped in. I was a little envious of Stefan right now. He knew how to do deal with crisis's like this. I just did what I wanted and it usually worked out pretty well. Stefan on the hand knew what to say and how to handle the little things. This was a big thing that I couldn't handle. I was never good with kids. Well, he wasn't a kid anymore. But he was my kid and I couldn't relate to him like Stefan could. He liked football; he had the same diet like my brother. I killed humans for fun, I didn't do sports. I did the mysterious guy thing. That was what I liked to do. Stefan was the all American kid.

"I'm working on it brother. I'm trying to still wrap my head around this." I said. I looked at Alex. "It has nothing to do with you kid. I'm not good at this." I said and then walked to the basement for a bag. Selina and I were never like this when we were humans. Why were we like this now? Fighting, her slapping me, her running away? This wasn't us. We were supposed to have forever together. We were in love.

I took the blood bag out of the cooler and popped it open. I chugged it down and then went for another one. My thoughts went back to the night where I made love to her for the first time. I told her forever. I told her that I would not let my father promise me to Katherine. Not like how her father promised her to Aaron Fell, that douchebag. Out of everyone in Mystic Falls at that time, he promises her to Aaron Fell of all people? He was the worst person I have ever met. I was thrilled to hear when he died. But I was depressed for Selina. I knew Aaron was married, and I thought it was Selina. I never knew she ran away. I stayed out of Mystic Falls until the original founding families all died. I didn't need another vampire hunt. So I wouldn't have heard the news that Selina left. James was either torn up or just didn't care. He cared more about money and drinking than his daughter. I wondered what happened to Mary and Samantha, our maids. They knew about us and never said a word to James or my father. They were dear friends back then.

After my third bag I went back up to the main floor. I saw my brother, son and Elena all talking. I'm glad they were all getting along. I walked up to my own room. I tried to turn off my vampire hearing. But it didn't work. I heard what they were talking about.

"What is his problem? I mean he says something to her, she busts threw the door and wants blood more than anything. And then runs off when and says there is no apology needed. And now he walks right by us and doesn't stop and actually try to get to know me? I'm his son." Alex says.

"The way Damon goes through anything is to be by himself. He wallows with it until it hits him and then he does it his own way." Elena said. "I've only known him a year and he hasn't changed his 'big news' style yet."

"He needs to grow up. Parents talk to their kids. That's what Mom always says to me. And that is why we are close."

"Damon doesn't talk. He lets everyone know when he's miserable. I wouldn't be surprised if the sorority girls are back tomorrow." Stefan said.

"He feeds because of his depression? Yeah, mature. Do you think my mom really went home? I mean she wouldn't just leave me." Alex asked. "Maybe we should go out and look for her."

"Does she know the area?" Elena said.

"No. God why did he have to piss her off! I want to stake him!"

"Calm down Alex. I'll do it for you. Wouldn't be the first time. Won't be the last."

"He deserves it. He's an asshole!" I heard my son say. I know I haven't known him long, but that hurt. I want him to like me. I want to have a bond with him. But I don't know how to do that. It took me and Stefan 150 years to be where we are now. We tolerate each other. But I want more than that with him. Blood is blood right? Shouldn't I feel like fatherly pride or a bond or something with him? But Alex was right Selina wouldn't have gone and left him alone here. She has to be close. But where? She only knows the Grill.

Selina had left around 11. It was already about 1:45am. She hadn't talked to anyone since she left. Alex was starting to pace. He tried her phone a few times but it went to voicemail. I finally got up and went down stairs.

"Elena and Stefan stay here just in case she comes back. Kid lets go." I said to Alex.

"I have a name dick." He said.

"So do I and it's not Dick. It's Damon." He looked upset. What did he want me to tell him to call me Dad? Well, that wasn't going to happen. "Are you going to come with me or are you going to stand there and look like your cat just died?" I walked to the door. I heard him following me. I got into the driver side and he got into the passenger side.

"Do you know where she is?" he asked.

"If she didn't go home she went to the only place she knew here. The Grill."

"What makes you so sure?"

"Because I had to show her how to get there. She wouldn't leave you that quick kid." The Boarding House isn't that far from the Grill. We pulled into the parking lot and I saw Selina's car. "See. Told ya she would be here kid." Then I saw Ric's car. What the hell was he still doing here? It was a little after 2am. We parked next to Selina's car when Alex's phone beeped. He dug his phone out.

"It's Mom. She wants to know where I am." I saw him typing as we were getting out of the car. We walked to the front door and tried to open it. But it was locked. I turned around I saw Selina's car. And Ric's and the bartender Steve's car. Where was everyone? Why was it locked? Alex's phone beeped again. "She said she loves me and she will see me home when I'm ready."

"Well, what did you say to her?"

"I told her I was at the Boarding House. That you said I could spend the night. And I asked where she was. She said she loved me and that she would see me at home." She dodged his question.

"Get in the car." I used my vampire speed and got in. Alex did the same. Grill door was locked but her car and Ric's car was still in the parking lot? Something was going on. "Don't text her back until I say so."

"Why?"

"Just listen to me kid." I drove the 5 minutes to Ric's apartment. I had a gut feeling she was here. "Give me your phone." He handed me his phone. I texted her real quick. Then I sped up to Ric's apartment. I slammed the door open and next thing I know I'm looking at a vamped out Selina.

After our big altercation, I was stunned. I was left in the apartment with my best friend.

"I just invited your kid in. Is he dangerous or am I going to have to move?"

"He's harmless. Unlike me. I told you to leave her alone." I said walking towards him.

"I didn't touch her Damon. I was sleeping before you broke my door. She was in the bedroom sleeping. She was drunk so was I. Nothing happened."

"Nothing better have happened Ric." I stared him down and left. I got in my car and drove home. I just lost her again. For good. I threated the kid and she was gone. If she had a stake I would be dead. I watched them walk out of my life and quickly as they walked in.

I walked in to the house and I saw Elena and Stefan still waiting in the living room.

"Did you find her?" Elena asked. I nodded and walked to my room.

"Where's Alex?" she asked.

"He's gone. So is Selina. We can go back to a normal life." I was staring at my brother. He used his vampire speed and was standing right in front of me.

"What did you do?"

"Stefan get out of my way. I'm tired and aggravated. I had a long night and I got choked out by a chick. I need to sleep." I said walking around him.

"Damon, where did they go?" I heard behind me. I stopped on the stairs.

"Home. They're gone" I went up to my room. I slammed the door and laid down on my bed. How could I have let them leave? If Selina hadn't gone to Ric's I wouldn't be feeling like a douchebag. I told him to stay away from her tonight. And then I find them in his apartment together. Granted they weren't together. But they were in the same place together. And they were both drunk. Why am I feeling like this? I forgot about Selina years ago. I thought she was dead. And now she's here and I'm a dad. How do you go from being a single guy to a single dad? I mean this is just too much to handle. You know what. I don't need them. I got my own life here. I was doing just fine without them I can continue to do that now.
