It's Too Late

Elena's POV

I was on the patio of my house with Ric and Jeremy after we came back from the Grill. Kiara and Damon went to the witches' mansion where Stefan was to get some more information about Stefan's freedom from Klaus. I was watching Jeremy for a second and turned my attention to Ric.

"So what's up with you and Damon now?" said Ric. I looked at him with shock and confusion on my face.

"What are you talking about Ric? There's nothing going on with Damon and I. We're just friends, nothing more. I think." I said as I felt my cheeks going all flushed.

Ric frowned a bit, "Uh huh. Well how come you're blushing like ten shades of red, 'Lena?"

I sighed, "Ric it really doesn't matter. Damon and I have gotten closer and we've been hanging out a lot. So can we drop the subject please and talk about something else?" Ric nodded and I turned my head towards Jeremy but he was gone. I looked around and saw him standing in the middle of the road.

"Jeremy!" yelled Ric as he ran towards Jeremy and I got my phone out and dialled Kiara's number.

Kiara answered on the first ring, "Elena are you okay?"

"Kiara you need to help me, Jeremy is about to get ran over please hurry?" I shouted on the phone and hung up.

Kiara's POV

I was trying to get my brothers to stop fighting and yelled at them to stop, "Guys stop fighting right now!" I ran into them and pinned both of them down on the ground all vamped out, "Bloody hell! What's wrong with the both of you? You need to cut it out now!"

I watched as both of them calmed down and my face came back to normal. My phone started ringing and I took it out of my pocket. I looked at the ID. Elena was calling me, "Elena are you okay?"

"Kiara you need to help me, Jeremy is about to get ran over please hurry?" I heard her shouting in panic and I hung up.

I looked at the boys with wide eyes, "Come on! Both of you up now! Jeremy's in trouble!" The three of us jumped up and started running in vampire speed and we got to the Gilbert residence in under a second. I saw a car coming up to Jeremy so close, "Jeremy!" I ran across the road and pushed Jeremy out of the way and the car hit me and I went flying.

"Kiara!" both Damon and Stefan shouted and everyone came up to me. My body was in an awkward angle and the car was on top of me. I could feel all of my bones healing as they were all broken in pieces and everyone had their eyes wide open in shock.

I groaned and hissed in pain, "Ugh. That bloody hurt! Jeremy are you okay?" I asked and turned to Jeremy.

"Oh my God! Kiara! I am so sorry. Thank you for saving me." said Jeremy as he had tears running down his face.

I smiled and grabbed his hand and squeezed it lightly, "It's fine Jer. You've been compelled by Klaus. Can someone get this bloody car off of me please? I can't feel my legs at the moment!" Stefan and Damon both grabbed each end of the car and flung it in the middle of the road, "OWW! Jesus Christ! I'm gonna kill that bastard!" Damon and Stefan both helped me up and we all went into the Gilbert house.

We all went to the living room and I was put gently on the sofa and Elena got me some blood, "Thanks 'Lena." She sat down next to me and she had heavy tears running down her cheeks, "Elena you don't have to cry. I'm fine, I saved your little brother that's all that matters. Don't worry about it." I smiled to give her reassurance that I'm perfectly fine.

Damon knelt in front of Elena and I and grabbed both of our hands in his. Elena wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into a hug. Damon wrapped his arm around her waist and his other hand still holding on mine, "You gave us a really good scare Kiara. That was a stupid move."

"Well Damon it was either that or let Jeremy die. I couldn't let Jeremy die. Elena would have no family left and she'll be all alone. You realise that family and friends are more important otherwise we wouldn't be here." I smiled at him and he smiled and nodded back.

Stefan cleared his throat and we all turned to look at him, "Guys I'm so sorry about the past few months. I wanted Klaus dead as much as you do, believe me."

I shook my head, "It's too late for your apology Stefan. You betrayed us and you made another deal with Klaus. So no, we don't believe and we won't ever forgive you after what you have done to us."

"I know and I am really truely sorry. If you would feel any better of me leaving Mystic Falls then I will."

I sighed and got up, "Stefan, we don't want you to go honestly but...If you're going to stay here with us and help then please no more lies, okay?" Stefan nodded and I went to hug him. Stefan hugged me back and blurred out of the house.

I went to sit down with the others and rested my head against the sofa and closed my eyes for a few minutes. I didn't realise that I had drifted off to sleep and that someone had covered me up with a blanket. I woke up and saw Elena and Damon speaking to each other about something that I was having trouble of hearing a little. I stood up and waited from behind them. I had something to tell them. They are so not gonna like this but I'm doing this for them and everyone else including myself and Kayleigh. Where ever she is.
