Luckily now my laptop is fixed and I can post again so read this new chapter and enjoy! :)

Chapter 10: P.Y.T (Pretty Young Thing)

"Um… at school and then Damon took me to have lunch" Rachel said

"Don't lie to me, Rachel" Shelby was clearly angry and now Rachel was scared "You didn't go to school today and you missed all the afternoon classes yesterday"

"Mom… I can explain" Rachel said but she had no idea what to tell her, she couldn't tell her the truth because she would freak out and send her back to Lima and she didn't wanted that, she couldn't go back, she loved Mystic Falls and there was no way she would get out of here.

"Explain then…" Shelby said "I know from your dads that you've always been an example student, you always had the best grades and the perfect attendance, what happened to you? What changed?"

"It's my fault" Damon said talking for the first time since they arrived.

"Your fault?" Shelby asked

"Yeah, I convinced her to ditch the classes" Damon said

"No matter what you did, she shouldn't have missed school" Shelby said, she raised her voice but she wasn't yelling yet. "You are grounded"

"But mom…" Rachel tried to protest but Shelby silenced her

"But nothing, you are grounded" she said and then looked at Damon "And you get out of my house, you're a bad influence for my daughter"

"Mom, that's not fair. Don't blame him"

"To your room" Shelby commanded pointing to the stairs and then looked back to Damon "And you out" she pointed to the door.

"Okay, okay I'm leaving" Damon said trying to calm her down "Bye Rach" he said, he kissed her forehead and walked out of the house.

Rachel glared at her mom and stormed out to her room. She entered to her room and jumped and gasped when she saw Damon lying in her bed.

"Damon, how did you got in?"

"The window, being a vampire has its advantages" he smirked

"I'm glad you are here" she said locking the door of her room before lying next to him.

"I wouldn't leave you here dying of boredom because of me"

"It's not your fault, I was the one who decided not to go to school" Rachel said "By the way sorry for the way my mom treated you"

"Actually your mom is right, I'm a bad influence for you" Damon smirked "I'm a bad boy remember?"

"Yeah but I like my bad boy" she kissed him

"I'm glad to hear that" he said when they pulled apart. "Now can you tell me what was bothering you when we were in the grill?"

"It was nothing" Rachel said

"It didn't look like nothing" Damon said "And even if it was nothing I want to know it"

"It's was just something Elena said when we were in the bathroom"

"What did she said?"

"She told me that she was happy that you finally were over Katherine" Rachel said looking at her hands, she didn't want to face him because she was scared that he still fell something for Katherine… or Elena for that matter, she didn't want to lose him.

"Did she say something else?" Damon asked. He didn't like the sound of that, he used the Katherine strategy to try to make Stefan and Elena break up when he came back to Mystic Falls so he obviously knew Elena's purpose when she said that to Rachel.

"Not much, just that you were obsessed with her for one hundred and forty five years" Rachel said "Is it true?"

"Yes but I can explain…"

"I just need to know one thing"

"Whatever you want"

"Are you over Katherine?" She asked and this time she looked at him, eyes locked as she said "Are you completely over her?"

"Yes" he said and in that moment he realized that it was true "Katherine is part of my past, you are my present and my future" she nodded and kissed him. "Do you want to know about my history with Katherine and why I expend the last 145 years obsessing over her? I would love to tell you everything about it because I don't want it to come between us"

"Okay, I would like to know and if you want I'll tell you my ex's stories"

"Deal" he smiled and kissed her cheek.

Damon started with his story with Katherine, how he felt in love with her but she was playing with him and Stefan, compelling them to not tell the other that they had expend the night with Katherine, he told her how much he hated Stefan when his father found out that Katherine was a vampire because of him and how his relationship with his brother was completely destroyed after Katherine was taken to the church to die or that what she made them think and how they died trying to save her and turned into vampires.

"So she was with you and Stefan at the same time?" she asked and Damon just nodded "What a bitch!"

"Yeah, she's a bitch but she doesn't matter anymore"

"But why were you obsessed with her for 145 years?"

"Because I thought she was in the tomb like the rest of the vampires, so I expend most of those years investigating how to get her out of there and when I finally could I discovered she was not there, she never was" Damon hissed "All those years she was free travelling all over the world keeping an eye in my brother and she knew I was desperate to get her out of there and she did not gave a single fuck, she didn't care about me, she never did, it was Stefan, always Stefan"

"I'm so sorry" Rachel said "You didn't deserve that but you can't blame Stefan for that, it wasn't his fault, he was used too"

"I know that now but I can't help it, I have hated him for all those years that I don't know how to not hate him"

"Then I'll help you to learn how" Rachel said "He's a great guy and after all the things you did to him, he still loves you and cares about you"

"Yeah, I know that" he said "Now it's your turn, any heart breaks or ex's stories?"

"I have lots of them"

"With Finn?" he asked

"Yeah a few but he wasn't the one who broke my heart in little pieces"

"Then who was?" he asked

"His name is Jesse, he studied in Carmel school and he was the leader singer of Vocal Adrenaline, he was basically on the rival team but even though the rest of the team warned me and said he was just using me I didn't believed them or cared about it because he was sweet and funny and had the same goals as me and he was the only one who really understood me" Rachel sighed "I felt in love with him and I thought he was in love with me too, I loved him with all my heart and even though we had our little fights like every other couple, I was still blinded by love but he broke my heart, he was using me to spy on us and broke my heart days before the competition and I was so depressed that it affected the team and we lost regional's, it took me months to get over him"

"How did he break your heart? What did he do?"

"He did two things, first he went with the whole team of Vocal Adrenaline to the school and in front of everyone he said that he was sorry but we were in different teams, it just couldn't be. I was sad and angry but a part of me still hoped him to show up and tell me he loved me and then one day he called me and said he was in the parking lot to go meet him. I was so happy and excited and thought he wanted to apologize but then his teammates appeared and egged me and he did too. He said he loved me before he cracked an egg in my head and left me devastated and with nightmares about the chicken's mom coming to torture me for their deaths"

"How did you get over him?"

"It was really tough for me, but I had Finn, days after Jesse and I broke up he told me he loved me and we started dating, I think he was what he needed to forget Jesse"

"He was your rebound guy"

"Yeah, you could say so"

"I'm sorry that asshole broke your heart" Damon said "I promise I'll never do that"

"Thank you" she said and leaned to kiss him.

"So what are we going to do?" Damon asked "You're grounded so now we're stuck in your room"

"I know but you can leave whenever you want" she said "You don't have to stay just because of me"

"I'm not going anywhere without you" he kissed her temple.

"How can Caroline and Bonnie ditch school without their parents knowing?" Rachel asked "I just ditch it once and I'm grounded for life"

"Blondie and witchy never got caught because their parents don't pay attention to them. Their parent's only focus on work and not on their daughters, you're lucky your mom loves you so much" Damon said "And you're not grounded for life, I'm sure you will be free by tomorrow"

"I know what you are thinking Damon and the answer is no" Rachel said "I'm not going to let you compel my mom so I won't be grounded anymore"

"Just a suggestion" he said and she glared at him "Okay, okay I won't do it"

"Have you talked to Stefan, Caroline or Bonnie?" Rachel asked

"No, but we can call them now if you want" Damon said "Know what they found out"

"Sure, call them" she smiled and Damon took his phone out of his pocket and called Stefan.

"Baby bro, what's up? Did you find anything?" Damon asked

"Not much, all we have is just more information of what we already know" Stefan said, "We're taking the books to the house so Rachel would read them, are you there?"

"No, we are at Rachel's house"

"Then go to the boarding house and we'll meet you there"

"We can't"

"Why?"

"Rachel's mom found out she ditched yesterday's and today's classes" Damon said "Rachel's grounded"

"You're a bad influence Damon"

"Tell me something I don't know"

"Anyway… I'm sorry to hear you're grounded Rach but what are we going to do now?"

"I have no idea"

"I can sneak out?" Rachel said "After dinner I tell my mom, I'll study and go to sleep and then we sneak out through the window"

"That's a great idea" Damon said kissing her cheek "Okay, we'll be at the boarding house around eight"

"Okay, we'll wait for you" Stefan said and hung up.

"I think we'll have dinner in about an hour so after dinner I play the angry daughter, tell her I'm going to be in my room studying and then go to sleep and lock in my room" Rachel said "We'll leave soon after that"

"Wow, you've thought about it" Damon smirked "Have you done this before?"

"Nope but I thought about it a few times" she smiled

"My girl is a rebel" he smirked and leaned until his lips were brushing hers "I like it" he muttered against her lips and kissed her.

Rachel did as planned, she went to have dinner with her mom and played the angry daughter, she didn't talked to her mom and her mom didn't talk to her because she was still mad so the dinner was quite but fast.

"I'll be in my room, I've to study and then I'll go to sleep" Rachel said "Goodnight" and ran up upstairs to her room.

"Did she buy the whole act?" Damon asked

"Yeah, I think so"

"Let's just wait a few more minute and we can go" They waited for half an hour waiting for Shelby to go to her bedroom too before they could sneak out. "How do we get out of here?"

"Through the window, I take you in my arms and jump" Damon said and saw her scared expression "Calm down, it's easy and I'll take care of you"

"Okay, but if I fall and survive, I'll kill you" she said

"Nothing will happen" he said taking her in his arms and said "Put your arms around my neck, you can close your eyes if you want" he smirked before jumping through the window

"That was pretty cool" Rachel smiled as Damon put her back in the floor when they were finally out of her house.

"Yeah, that's why you wanted to scream at the top of your lungs" He smirked "You were scared admit it"

"I wasn't" she said stubbornly

"You were"

"Seriously, are we going to continue this childish fight here or are we going to go to the boarding hour?"

"Okay, let's go" Damon said "But you were scared" he smirked and Rachel slapped him playfully on the arm "Ouch" he acted like it actually hurt but Rachel just laughed.

"I can't believe I'm doing this" Rachel said "I think my mom is right, you are a bad influence"

"Yeah, she's right" they laughed.

"So what's going on?" Damon asked when they arrived to the boarding house.

"Not much, all we found is history about the fairies" Stefan said "Apparently the fairy gene only appears every three or four generations"

"So that means my great grandparents of grandparents were fairies?" Rachel asked

"Yeah, do you know them?" Damon asked "Do you know anything about them?"

"No, I don't know anything about my great grandparents, my dad's have never talked about then but I know my grandparents are dead"

"That means your grandparents were not fairies but I think you should try to get information about your great grandparents, maybe they're fairies and are still alive" Stefan said "They could help you with all of this"

"Okay, I'll try to ask my mom to see what she knows and get information" Rachel said and they nodded.

"So you are a fairy" Rose said as she walked through the door. Damon and Stefan shared a look "I knew you were something else but I didn't knew what"

"Yeah, she's a fairy and if anyone else finds out about her, we'll hunt you down" Damon warned her.

"I'm not going to say anything" Rose said "And if I did, do you seriously think you are a match for me? I'm more than five hundred years old"

"Yeah, but we are three vampires and a witch" Caroline said and everyone nodded. "We can take you"

"Calm down, my lips are sealed" Rose said "I'm going to my room, bye"

"We have to keep an eye on her" Damon said in a really low voice so just they could listen but not Rose. Everyone nodded and stayed quiet until Rachel's phone rang.

"Oh shit, it's my dad" she said before answering. "Hi daddy"

"Rachel Barbra Berry, what is going on with you?" Leroy asked "Shelby called us and told us that now you are ditching school?"

"What happened to our responsible Rachel?" Hiram asked

"Dad, daddy, I'm so sorry" Rachel said "I can explain"

"And why don't you open the door to Shelby, she have been knocking at your door for half an hour and told us you don't open or say anything" Hiram said

"What's with this rebel teenager act?" Leroy asked "I think that town is changing you, if you keep acting like this we'll bring you back to Lima"

"NO!" Rachel practically yelled "Please daddy, no. I promise I won't ditch classes ever again and I'll do everything you want but please I don't want to go back to Lima" she pleaded and Damon clenched his teeth, all of this was his fault and he knew it, he couldn't let Rachel's parents take her back to Lima and to that horrible school.

"If you keep acting like this, you are coming back, okay?" Hiram said

"Okay, dad, I'm sorry" Rachel said "I'll change, I promise"

"I hope you do" Leroy said "And you're grounded for the rest of the week"

"Okay"

"We'll call you tomorrow" Hiram said "Good night"

"Sleep well" Leroy said

"Good night dad, daddy" Rachel said and hung up. Then she looked to Damon and said "I think I should go back home"

"Okay, let's go" He said and nodded, Rachel said bye to everyone and they walked out of the house. "I'm sorry, this is my fault" Damon said

"It isn't, I shouldn't have done it so don't blame yourself"

"They're planning to take you back to Lima, I can't let that happen"

"They won't take me back because I'm not going to give them a reason to do it" Rachel said "I'll be the example daughter again"

"Then I'll help you do that" he smiled.

The next days passed by really slow for Rachel, her mom insisted to take her to school and then take her back home so the only times she talked to Caroline, Bonnie or Stefan were in classes. Damon went to her house at night and sneaked in through the window but one day he had some things to do and couldn't go to visit her. She hated this, because she felt like a prisoner, she knew she made a mistake but she didn't need to be treated like a little kid whose mom take her to school and pick her up, it was annoying and boring.

It was Thursday and Rachel was alone at school, Caroline and Stefan didn't went to classes and Bonnie was with Elena all the time so Rachel have been alone all day, she talked to Tyler once but after that she was completely alone, it was lunch break and she was walking out of school to sit outside and kill time when she saw Damon standing in front of his car in the parking lot looking gorgeous as always.

"Hi" she said and kissed him on the lips "What are you doing here?"

"Well I knew Caroline and Stefan didn't come to school and thought you would be dying of boredom so I came by to see you"

"Thank you, I was really dying of boredom" Rachel smiled

"Well come with me" Damon said

"Where are we going?"

"That's a surprise" he smirked

"You know I can't miss classes"

"You won't, we will be back for the next period"

"Okay" she said and they started walking through the woods, ten minutes later they arrived at a lake where Rachel saw a blanket and a basket next to it. "We are having a picnic?"

"Yes, do you like it or it's too corny?" Damon asked

"I love it, Thank you" she kissed him.

"I'm glad you like it"

"I can't believe you did all of this for me"

"You're my girlfriend and I like to do things for you" he smiled "Just don't tell anyone it'll kill my bad boy appearance" he winked at her.

"Don't worry, your secret it's safe with me" she laughed.

They sat in the blanket and Damon took two sandwiches out of the basket, they were vegan of course and two sodas.

"Did you make these?" Rachel asked after she ate the last bite of the sandwich

"Yeah, was it good?" Damon shrugged "I'm a little out of practice"

"It was delicious" she smiled

"I guess I'm not that bad" he said eating the last bite of his sandwich.

"And the humble vampire talked" Rachel murmured and Damon smirked "Do you know how to cook anything else?"

"Yeah, mostly Italian food" Damon said "My mom taught me some things when I was little but I actually learned all with the years"

"Oh okay, so how was your mother?"

"She was beautiful and a great mom, she was sweet and loving" Damon said looking at the lake, remembering his mom "My dad always said I looked a lot like her, I was a momma's boy until she died"

"I'm sorry"

"It's okay, I already got over it but sometimes it still hurts" Damon half smiled "It was really hard for me because I was about eight years old when she died, I used to be with her all the time so it affected me more than Stefan, he was four years old so he doesn't remember much" he said sadly and Rachel moved to his side and hugged him, he hugged her back and kissed her hair. "Anyway… are you still hungry? Do you want desert?" he asked trying to change the subject and lighten the mood.

"Sure, what do you have?" Rachel asked and he took a piece of chocolate cake and two spoons. "Did you cook this too?"

"Yeah, with a little help but I did, everything is vegan friendly" he smiled and they ate the chocolate cake.

"Oh my god, I'm late for my class" Rachel said

"Why don't you miss it and if your mom finds out you tell her you didn't feel good so you skipped it?"

"I don't know… that's what got me in trouble" Rachel said "I think we should go"

"But we're having such a good time" Damon pouted jokingly

"Okay but just this period, I'm going to the next one" Rachel said and Damon nodded and kissed her hair. They just stayed there talking about everything and anything but having a great time after all. "It's time to go" Rachel said looking at her clock.

"Okay, let's go" Damon said standing up and helping Rachel to stand up.

"Thank you" Rachel said

"It was nothing"

"No, Thank you" Rachel said "For everything, for the picnic, the food, the amazing conversation, your company, everything" she stood on her tip toes and pressed her lips with his lightly, she tried to pull back but Damon pulled her close again and kissed her passionately until Rachel pulled apart again to try to catch her breath. "I love you" Rachel said breathlessly and Damon kissed her again, she knew maybe it was a little too soon but it was true, she loved Damon Salvatore.

"mmm… Let's go" Damon said when they pulled apart; he took her hand, intertwined their fingers and started to walk back to school. He was just so shocked about what he just heard that he didn't realized that he didn't said it back. "Have fun at class" he smirked "I'll see you later at your house" he kissed her cheek and Rachel walked to her next class.

He watched her walk into Mystic Falls High and realized one thing, he didn't said "I love you" to Rachel, what the hell was wrong with him, he was too shocked that he didn't even realized it and now she was probably thinking he didn't feel the same. "Ugh what's wrong with me?" He asked to himself "I love Rachel, I really do but what I didn't say it back? I haven't felt like this with anyone before, not even with Katherine, this is way better than whatever I had with Katherine so why I didn't say it? I need to let her know I feel the same as soon as I can because I'm completely and crazily in love with her and she needs to know it"

Rachel was in her way to her French class when she saw Caroline in her locker, talking to Bonnie. "Hi Girls"

"Rach!" Bonnie said "Where have you been? You missed our science class; Caroline had to compel the teacher so he wouldn't tell your mom you weren't in his class"

"I'm sorry, I went to have lunch with Damon and we forgot about school"

"Where did you have lunch?" Caroline asked "I was at the grill and you were not there"

"Damon surprised me with a picnic" Rachel smiled "It was so romantic, but don't tell anyone, it'll hurt his bad boy image" she laughed

"Wow, Damon did that?" Bonnie asked "I never thought he had a romantic bone in his body"

"Ha ha yeah, but if he did something so sweet for you why you don't look happy?" Caroline asked "Normally you've a smile from ear to ear after you see him but now you look kind of worried"

"I don't know… It's just that…" Rachel wasn't sure what to say

"What happened, Rach?" Caroline asked concerned

"It's just that Damon did all of that for me and we were having a good time but when we had to come back I told Damon I loved him and he just kissed me but he had such a shocked look in his face" Rachel said "I think I screwed everything because maybe I said it too soon, what if he doesn't feel the same and I just scared him?"

"I don't think you scared him" Caroline said "He's nuts about you Rach, and maybe you took him by surprise and that's why he didn't said it back"

"Yeah, He's in love with you, Rach" Bonnie said "I've never seen Damon being so happy; I didn't know he could actually smile"

"Yeah, he's even nice with us" Caroline said "That's weird but he's acting like that because he finally found love"

"Do you really think that or you are just saying it because you are my friends and just want me to feel better" Rachel said

"It's the truth, Rach" Bonnie said

"I think he was really surprised because you are the first girl that Damon is in love with and has not chosen Stefan over him"

"You're talking about Katherine?" Rachel asked

"Yeah, he was in love with her and Katherine told him she always loved Stefan" Caroline said "So now that you told Damon you love him he couldn't believe what he heard but I bet that sooner than later he'll tell you he loves you too"

"Yeah" Bonnie said

"Thank you girls" Rachel hugged Bonnie and Caroline and smiled. "You always know how to make me smile"

"That's why we are your best friends, right?" Caroline smiled

"Yes, you're my best friends and I love you" Rachel said

"Let's go to French, we are going to be late" Bonnie said and the girls nodded and followed her.

The rest of the classes passed by quickly for Rachel, she tried to pay attention in class but most of the time she was texting or talking to Caroline and Bonnie. The classes were over and Caroline, Bonnie and Rachel were talking in front of Rachel's locker while she picked some things when they saw Elena and Matt pass by holding hands.

"Are… Are they… dating?" Caroline asked

"I think so" Rachel said

"Since when?" Bonnie asked

"I don't know but I saw them at the grill a few days ago" Rachel said

"Oh really?" Caroline asked "She's dating my ex boyfriend and she called me a few days ago to say I was a traitor for dating Stefan?"

"She did what?" Bonnie asked

"Wow, really?" Rachel asked

"Yeah, she called me a few days ago and said…" Caroline started to remember that day.

Caroline was in her bedroom getting ready to go to see Stefan at the boarding house, it was date night and they decided to stay in the house and watch a movie. Caroline had to be there in less than an hour and she was still trying to pick her outfit when her phone rang. She took it from her bedside table and saw it was Elena, she didn't knew what to do, she and Elena still haven't talk and try to be friends again but Elena have called her a few time and she have ignored her and she thought it was time to give her a chance so she answered it.

"Elena…" Caroline said "What's up?"

"What's up, I should be the one asking that don't you think?"

"What are you talking about?"

"You make the entire act that you're mad at me and we are not friends anymore and then you go and kiss my boyfriend" Elena was yelling "What is wrong with you? Where is the girl code?"

"Elena, Calm down" Caroline said and tried to warn her "Calm down before you say something you'll regret"

"Calm down? You fucking bitch! You are screwing my boyfriend!" Elena yelled again. "The only thing I regret is being your friend for so many years, I had to stand all your stupid and shallow conversations just because we knew each other since we were kids but I'm done, I'm done with you stupid bitch"

"You're done with me? You had to stand me all these years?" Caroline screamed at her "Oh god, I'm the one who's done with you, you selfish bitch" Caroline couldn't believe everything Elena just said this was not the Elena she knew "I had to stand being second to you the perfect Elena Gilbert, I had to stand listening to all your boyfriends conversation!"

"Now you're trying to blame me?" Elena said "You treacherous bitch! You stole my boyfriend!"

"He's not your boyfriend Elena, you broke up with him months ago" Caroline said

"That doesn't matter because he still loves me but you had to get between us because you never accepted that everyone preferred me" Elena said "You've always being jealous of me"

"Yeah, I was jealous because I couldn't get how everyone choose you when you were a selfish and self centered bitch"

"Look who's talking!" Elena said "You want to know why no one wanted to be with you? It's because they couldn't stand how shallow you are"

"I'm sick of you! I'm sick of you thinking the world spins around you" Caroline said "Breaking News Elena, You're not the center of the world and not everyone wants to be like you! Get over yourself!"

"You want to be like me, you always have" Elena said

"I'm done with this conversation, I'm done with you. Don't ever call me or talk to me again" Caroline said "I want nothing to do with you, we're not friends anymore and we won't ever be again" Caroline yelled at Elena and hung up. She sat in her bed and tears were falling through her cheeks. She couldn't believe what just happened, Elena have been her friend all her life and now she was a completely different person, all the things Elena said about her, hurt her more than they should because she never thought Elena could be so hurtful. Caroline knew she also said some hurtful things but she couldn't take it any longer, she have been dealing with being Elena's second all her life and she couldn't take it anymore and now that a guy had finally chose her she couldn't let Elena get in between that.

Caroline finished telling Rachel and Bonnie about that day, she felt a tear in her cheek and she wiped it away quickly, Rachel and Bonnie had a shocked look in their faces, both didn't knew what to do or say.

"I'm sorry she said all those things" Rachel said "You're not shallow or stupid or any of those things Elena said. You're sweet, funny, a great friend and a badass vampire" Rachel whispered that last part so just Caroline and Bonnie would hear.

"Yeah Care, You're an amazing friend, a great person and I couldn't have asked for a better friend" Bonnie said "I've no idea what has gotten into Elena but you're not what she said"

"Thank you girls" she half smiled

"Does Stefan know about this?" Rachel asked

"No, I never told him because I didn't want more trouble" Caroline said "Please don't tell anyone, especially not Stefan or Damon" She said the last part looking at Rachel.

"I promise I won't tell anything to Damon" Rachel said and Caroline nodded. "Hey can you give me a ride? My mom haves a late meeting today and she can take me home" she asked Caroline

"Sure, let's go"

"I really need a car" Rachel said and they laughed. They were in their way to Caroline's car when they saw a black Lamborghini Murciélago park in front of the school and a lot of students gathered around it completely surprised to see such an expensive and beautiful car in a town like Mystic Falls, everyone waited to see who was the driver when the door opened and Damon got out of the car.
