Again it took me longer than expected ;( Maybe I should just surprise you with my uploads so I can't disappiont you? I have a lot of going on lately, unfortunately not as I expected. So I'm really sorry.

But anyway, here's the next chapter:

All you never say is that

You love me so

All I'll never know is

If you want me oh

If only I could look

Into your mind

Maybe then I'd find a sign

Of all I want to hear you

Say to me

To me

-Birdy All You Never Say

25/11/2012, 11:35 am, my room at boarding school

I hadn't slept that good in a really long time. After the dream or better the memory of my first basketball game last night I'd been happy and had fallen back to sleep in just a few seconds. Now I was laying in bed and the memories of yesterday evening were playing in my head again. I was relieved Damon knew it now and also Caroline. I think I couldn't have made it without them here. Even if I only knew Damon for a week, he was already a part of my life. And for Caroline, like she said it in the beginning, she was my best friend.

And she came out of the bathroom at the same moment.

'' Hey sleepyhead. You're lucky it's Saturday. You didn't even notice the alarm and trust me it was unmistakably. And now that you're finally awake spill the beans. I've been dieing to hear what happened yesterday and had nearly woken you up. You hadn't been at practice, Damon hadn't been at practice so I thought you finally got to it. I mean it would be time. You like him, he likes you and you fixed everything between you, it was logical. And by the way Rebekah and mason, I mean Coach Lockwood, are both furious about you both not showing up, but noone suspects anything.

Okay and now I lost track of what I wanted to say. Wait a second.''

That was typically Caroline even she lost track of what she said herself. I think I knew what she wanted, but it was funny watching her thinking about it, so I waited.

'' Ah I know it, so I expected you to stay there now that you're together but when I came back, you were already asleep, so what the hell happened?''

Yep, exactly what I thought she would say. I thought about that option before I got to Damon, but nah, it didn't turn out like that.

'' Care, do you remember how it was for me to tell you the truth? It was even worse with Damon and it was the same day. I was exhausted, I blacked out even before my head was on my pillow. And just so you know it, Damon and I aren't together. It just wasn't the right time to talk about my feelings for him. I've already told him about my parents and brother's death. It would have been too emotional for just one day. And what makes you even think he's also into me? I'm still afraid he isn't, so I think with that dream of yours you have to wait a bit longer.''

She looked at me disappointed. After our talk yesterday she told me she was all team Delena, her shipname for us. But like I just told her, yesterday wasn't the right moment to tell Damon.

So we just talked a bit more about my family and when I nearly fell asleep on his couch I left.

'' But Lena-''

'' No buts Care. I just told you not right now. So just be a bit patient. But now to you, how was practice?''

'' It was the usual, only that Rebekah was pissed about you not showing up. But I calmed her down and told her you weren't feeling well. So don't worry about that. And after practice I talked to Stefan. He's so sweet.''

Stefan as in Damon's best friend Stefan? What did I miss there?

'' With Stefan you mean Stefan Frelsari, Damon's best friend? Why didn't I know you were into him?''

'' I am not. I just said he's cute. And he just came to me to ask you if I knew where you or Damon had been. I think he's also team Delena, but yesterday he was also a bit angry with you. But that I also fixed for you.''

What did she mean with fixed? She hadn't, had she?

'' Don't worry I didn't tell him anything, just that you had your reasons but were now trying to fix things between you and Damon. Stefan seemed happy about that.''

One more to worry about. I didn't think our friends pushing us to get together would help. We just needed our time.

23/03/2001, 3:29 pm, gym

'' Look Lena honey there's your couch, let's go talk to him.''

'' No Mummy, I don't want to stay here. Here are only boys, please!''

I looked around again. There was really no girl. Who should I play with them? They would all be mean, like the boys in preschool.

'' But sweetie, you begged us to come here, let us at least talk to the coach.''

I wanted to play, but with girls. But my Mom just took my hand and pulled me with her.

'' Excuse me, you're the coach here, aren't you?''

'' Yes I am. My name is Elijah.''

'' Hello Elijah. So this is my daughter Elena. She'd been to a NBA game last week and now she wants to play, too.''

'' You've been to a NBA game?''

He looked at me. He seemed nice.

'' Yes, and they could fly like superheroes. I wanna fly like that, too.''

He now smiled at me.

'' I can't promise anything, but I promise well try everything we can.''

'' But I don't want to stay here. There are only boys.''

I now pouted. I really didn't want to be here any longer.

'' You don't have to worry about them, they're all really nice. And there's one more girl. Her name is Bonnie, she just isn't here yet.''

In that moment the door opened again and a girl came in. She had black hair, wore black sports shorts and pink top and pink sneakers. She ran directly to us.

'' I'm really sorry I'm late Elijah. My little brother got sick and my Mom had to drive him to the doctor. I stayed at my Grams house and she forgot I had practice.''

She looked really sad about being late.

'' Don't worry about it Bonnie. We haven't started yet. Hopefully your brother gets better really soon. But I want you to meet someone. So Bonnie this is Elena, she wants to play basketball, too. Elena this is Bonnie.''

'' Hi Elena. What's your favorite color, mine is pink like my top.''

She smiled at me with a bright smile.

'' Mine is pink too. But I don't wear a pink top today.''

I was really sad about it. Now she wouldn't like me.

'' That's fine. I like your top too. Come!''

She took my hand and we ran away together. I looked back and saw my Mom smiling.

When she saw me looking at her she waved and after I waved back she went home.

25/11/2012, 2:56 pm, Damon's house

I knocked. He asked me to come today. But because I had slept so long, I didn't have the chance to eat dinner at school, so I picked up some take away at my favorite Asian restaurant.

He opened the door. He looked sleepy. Did I wake him? It was already 3pm.

'' Hey Damon, I didn't wake you did I? You told me I should be here at 3 pm.''
'' It's my own fault. I had early morning practice and then went to bed again. So don't worry about it.''
He seemed exhausted. Why did he even have morning practice? It was Saturday and all the other players seemed totally fine when I saw them in the hallway.

'' Come in. I'm just gonna go change and be back in a minute. If you want something to drink, just grab something from the fridge and make yourself a home.''

He went upstairs. I still didn't know why he had practice, it somehow seemed weird. But maybe I shouldn't worry about that anymore. I came here with a mission and shouldn't let something like that distract me. And maybe I could ask him when he came back. But i actually came to learn more about his family. He'd never told me anything about them and in a matter of fact I've been here everyday last week and hadn't seen them once. And I knew he had a sister, but I hadn't seen her either.

I went into the kitchen and got myself a water. I also put the food on the counter. Then I went back to the living room and looked through the books on the shelf. I've already read most of them but that was no surprise as I spent most of my life with books. When I just pulled out The Great Gatsby, one of my favorites he came back down the stairs.

'' I'm really sorry I've just been really exhausted.''
'' You still look like it. Did you already eat something today at all?''

'' No, but I'm just gonna make me a sandwich or something.''
'' You don't have to. Consider yourself lucky, but I haven't eaten anything either, so I brought some Asian takeaway. It's already in the kitchen.''

'' Thank you, you're my hero right now.''

So we went in the kitchen, Damon put two plates out of the cupboard and we sat down to eat. He really was hungry. I've never seen someone eat that fast and that much before in my life.

'' Seems like practice was really hard this morning. When was it anyway?''

'' 5:30 am. And yes it was. I had to run the whole time.''

Okay that seems really hard, but wait what he had to? What was with all the others.

'' You were the only one? Why?''

He looked at me sadly. And also like he didn't know what to do.

'' I had an extra practice this morning because I didn't show up yesterday.''
'' Because of me...''

That couldn't be or could it? He had extra training only because of me?

'' Yeah, but it's not that bad. I only needed a bit of extra sleep afterwards and food. And that you got me, so it's really nothing. And it also happened before. So let's not talk about it anymore. Tell me more about your family!''
I still wasn't convinced, but he didn't want to talk about it so I wouldn't push it. But I didn't want to talk about me today.
'' No way, I'm not going to talk about me anymore before I don't know anything about you. So where is your family?''

The end of the chapter before you learn anything about Damon. I know I'm a tease, but it's late here and i wanted to upload today. So next chapter is about Damon's family. At least part of it.

Okay, just that you know Frelsari is the Icelandic word for Savior like in Salvator ;D (at least that was what Google Translate said about it. I don't speak Icelandic, so if it's wrong just tell me). I didn't want to make them brothers, but Stefan should still have somehow his name, so tadahh.

And yep, you've read it right. Both Caroline AND Stefan are Delena shippers :D

So there was also how she met Bonnie. I know she's not important at the moment, but I'm thinking about something and for that this is important. It's also the first part about her being a child (apart from her dream). So should I continue with childhood memories once in a while or should I forget about them?

So with the dates, I'm a bit confused myself. They don't really match, but please just take it how it is now and just think of it as a bit of a red line so you know where which part belongs. Don't make up tou much because of the intervals between them, because that's a bit difficult.

Ah and by the way, Coach Lockwood and Principal Lockwood are brothers. Mason is the Coach and Richard the Principal.

R&R as always.
