I know I said I'd post only after my exams would be over(aka at the 29th) but I got a little bit sick of studying today and I started writing. First of all I wanted to thank you for supporting this story. It reached 100 followers and it's something that I thought would never happen...so...THANK YOU! So last chapter was pretty shocking to most of you and I get it, but try to be patient, because every obstacle has a bigger purpose. In this chapter our story takes a road that most of you didn't see coming. Anyway, I hope you enjoy. Also leave a review, it's always nice to read your thoughts on the characters and the plot.
It had been hours since Rose had left. It was getting dark outside. Elena had so many questions that Rose kept on dudging. For example, she couldn't understand why she was at Rose's house from the first place. Why wasn't she knocking at Damon's door? Why didn't they let her go straight to him? Elena knew that Damon was angr and that Rose and Alaric were probably worried about his reaction, but she would face him sooner or later anyway. Something else is going on. The thought made her stomach swirl. What if something bad happened to him? She immediately pushed the thought away. Rose would have told herif something really bad had happened. But if everything was just fine, why couldn't she shake that bad feeling she was getting in her guts? And all this waiting? What was it for? She couldn't take it anymore. She had to do something. She needed to see Damon.
The moment she was about to leave the house, she heard someone unlocking the front door and walking inside. The footsteps were heavy, which made her think that it wasn't Rose. Her heart was beating so fast and strong that she thought it would explode at any moment. It has to be him! Seconds later, the person who had caused all these noises was standing in front of her, in Rose's living room. But instead of blue eyes, he had brown ones. And in the place of the raven black hair, there were blonde. He was wearing pleaded jeans, that were frayed in the knees. On the top he was wearing simpled black t-shirt. If his appearance could say anything about him, that would be that he was dangerous.
Elena took in the image of him more carefuly. The bulbs of his eyes were red and his hair were messy and oily. There was something weird about his gaze. He seemed like he was searching for something but couldn't focus on anything. She wondered if he even knew what he was doing there. Drug addict. She concluded in her head after seeing him slurping his nose. He finally fixed his eyes on her and made her blood freeze in her veins. Even thought she felt dizzy from the intencity of her fear, she forced her body to move and she took a step back. The guy didn't even seem to notice her movement, but he started walking closer to her until he was standing directly in front of her.
"Rose." He said with a husky voice. He looked calm, but that didn't make Elena's panic go away, even the slightest bit.
"A..are you searching for Rose?" She asked with a shaky voice.
"Who are you? You weren't one of her friends..." His voice was giving away a hint of insanity. "What's your name?" He asked and examined her from head to toe.
"I..I'm Elena." She tried to stay still as he kept on looking at her. "Is there any way I can help you?" She forced herself to say.
"Elena." He said her name like he was trying it out, just to see how it would sound, coming out of his mouth. "Elena." He repeated again a little bit louder. "You see Elena, Rose thinks we're done, but we're not." He had definitely took his dose, not long ago. Elena thought of taking another step back, but she didn't want to do anything that would upset him. He clearly wasn't at his right mind. But what did Rose had to do with that guy? That's what she couldn't bring herself to understand. "You seem to be afraid, Elena." He let a laugh escape his mouth. "But I'm only here for Rose. She should be afraid." He finally started moving away from her and Elena stopped holding her breath. She had to do something, she needed to warn Rose and call the police.
"What's your name?" Elena suddenly asked.
"Jack." He said and collapsed on the couch.
Elena moved backwards until her back met a wall. Her phone was inside the back pocket of her jeans and she needed to pull it out without him noticing, but how would she do that, when he was sitting right across her with his eyes on her? Her phone wasn't an option. But she had to do something.
"Just to be clear, Elena. If you try anything, I will get really mad." He smiled like he had just told her the nicest thing in the world. The moment he finished his sentence, without a second thought Elena did the only thing that the situation was allowing her to. She ran. She let the living room behind her and was almost at the door when the sound of a gunfire echoed through her ears and scared her to death which caused her fall on her knees. In a matter of seconds Jack was standing in front of her with a gun pointing at her. She had never been so scared for her life before.
"Now" He started with a low voice. "start walking back to the living room." Elena was shaking. She wasn't sure if she could bring herself to stand up. It took a lot of will and every bit of strength she had, for her to follow his order and go back at the room they were before. "Now, Elena. Sit on the couch." The threat of the gun was still there. "You see, I gave you a chance. I didn't want to use this." He looked down at the hand that was holding the weapon with. "But you left me with no other choice." His smile was scaring Elena to death.
"Why are you doing this?" The fear in her voice made it hard even for her to recognize it.
"Because that bitch has to pay." He said and sat on the floor with his back touching the wall behind him.
"Listen, I don't know what happened between you and Rose, but you don't have to do this." Since she couldn't escape or warn Rose maybe she could convince him to stop whatever he was up to.
"You're right." He said, reviving Elena's hope. "I don't have to do this." He continued and Elena hang from his every word wishing he would leave the house and let her and Rose alone. "I want to do this." And with these words every hope sank again.
At the same moment Elena and Jack heard the front door being unlocked. Elena heard the footsteps in the hallway and knew that they were Rose's. Jack was up in a second, with the gun still in his hand. Elena had to do something fast.
"ROSE RUN!" She screamed and got up from the couch. The next thing she felt was Jack's hand landing on her face and making her lose her balance until she collapsed bak on the couch.
Rose walked in. Fear took over her as she saw the man who was in her house. Memories that she had tried to burry started to unravel inside her head.
"Jack." Her voice was only a whisper. "What are you doing here? How did you get inside?" He seemed to enjoy how scared she looked.
"That's a funny question, Rose." He chuckled. "I want you to come with me again." He paused for a second. "Don't you remember how good we were together?" He walked closer to her.
"I remember how we were together. And there was no good in there Jack." She shot back at him.
"Are these your words, or Damon and Alaric's?"
"Rinse your mouth before talking about Damon and Alaric." She yelled. Elena had never seen Rose like this before. Couldn't she see the gun Jack was holding? Wasn't she scared? "They saved me."
"And condemned me!" He yelled back at her. "I had no one else."
"Stop blaming Damon, Alaric or anyone else. Blame this on yourself! I tried to help you. I put you in rehab. But you didn't want to stop the drugs. You even tried to convince me to start doing drugs too! You are the reason that I left you! YOU!" She was shouting and her face had turned red.
"You should have chosen me. You should have stayed." He whispered. "But this time you don't get to make a decision. This time you'll come with me. That's why I'm here."
"I'm not going anywhere with you!" Her words didn't seem to touch him at all.
"Oh that's a shame." He started walking towards the couch where Elena was sitting. Once he reached it he grabbed her by her arm and forced her to stand up.
"Don't touch her!" Anger was taking over her now.
"You don't get to tell me what to do!" He yelled and pointed the gun to Elena.
"Jack please, don't do this. She has nothing to do with what happened between us." She tried to talk him out of it.
"You're right." He said. "Come with me and I won't hurt her."
"Rose no!" Elena said and Jack turned her body towards his and slapped her on her face, using more force than the previous time. Elena almost lost her balance again, but managed to stay on her feet. This time there was evidence that he had hit her. Her lip was bleeding.
"I didn't give you permission to talk!" Jack said looking at her.
"I'll come with you." Rose suddenly said. "Just let her go, and I'll follow you." She repeated.
"You're not going anywhere." They heard the voice of someone else coming from the hallway. A voice that was familiar to both Rose and Elena.
"Damon!" Jack said with excitement and a huge smile on his face. "Long time no see."
"You look good Jack." He said sarcastically. His gaze fell at Elena who was already looking at him.
"Oh I see..." Jack suddenly said after studying the way Damon was looking at Elena. "That's why I didn't know her. She's not Rose's friend. She's yours." He laughed like what he had just said was hilarious. Damon didn't say anything, but his panic was obvious. "Does it hurt you Damon? To see her like this?" Damon didn't answer, he just kept on looking at Elena with concern. "I take that as a yes." He paused for a second. "Now, Rose will come with me or I'll just...kill your little friend."
"Damon, that decision is mine. I'll go with him." Rose eyed Damon.
"You see how easy it was? These words should have came out of your mouth a few years ago." Jack said and his gun stopped pointing at Elena.
"You're sick." Damon shot at him with disgust painted all over his face.
Everything else happened in a matter of seconds. Jack ran towards Damon and punched him in the face. Damon recovered quickly and got hold of the hand that Jack was holding his gun with and with his other hand he punched him in the face.
"RUN!" He shouted to both Elena and Rose.
"Damon no!" Elena said and kept on looking at him.
"ROSE TAKE HER AND GO! NOW!" He said as he struggled to hold Jack's hand in order fr the gun to be pointing at the ceiling.
"Elena come on! We have to go!" Rose didn't wait for Elena to move. She grabbed her and started pushing her out of the house. Once they were outside they heard a gunfire. Elena's heart stopped for a second. What if? No no no ir can't be! The next thing she saw were police cars stopping in front of the house. The caps surrounded the place in a matter of seconds and some of them went inside. Elena felt dizzy. An hour before, she was sitting in Rose's living room and her only concern was Damon's reaction. Now there she was, at Rose's porch waiting for someone to tell her that Damon was okay...or even alive. Her knees gave up and she fell on the cold ground. Tears started rolling down her face as the pain took over her.
"Elena!" Rose said and knelt beside her. "Shhh...it's gonna be okay." She comforted her but tears started escaping her eyes too. "You'll see. He'll be fine."
"Rose!" They heard Alaric's voice. He came to stand in front of them. By his side there was a brunette young woman that Elena didn't recognize, but she didn't pay attention. "What happened? Are you all okay? Damon called me and told me that if I didn't hear from him in the next five minutes I should call the police at your place."
"Jack was at my house." Rose infirmed him.
"Where is he now?" He was worried. "And where's Damon?"
Rose just looked at him and didn't say anything. Alaric's eyes opened wide and the brunette that had came with him had the same reaction. Elena could see and hear everything that was going on around her, but everything felt sureal. It was like she wasn't the one living this. Alaric went to talk to one of the police men.
"Rose are you okay?" The girl that had arrived with Alaric asked.
"Yes Katherine. Thank you." She said coldly.
"And you?" Katherine asked Elena.
"Can't you see she's not okay?" Rose yelled at her.
"I was just-" Katherine started.
"I don't care Katherine. Just go. You're not helping here." Rose said, not caring if she was rough.
"I'm here for Damon. I'm not gonna leave until I know he's fine." Katherine shot back at her.
"They're coming out!" Elena yelled, pointing at Rose's door.
They saw Jack coming out first, with handcuffs around his wrists. A police man escotred him inside one of the cars. But where was Damon? Elena's heart was beating faster and faster. She was going crazy and the only thing she needed was to see him. A minute later another police man came out and this time she saw Damon following him. She felt the weight lift from her chest and tears of joy started falling from her eyes. She had never felt more relieved in her life. She saw Alaric running at him and hugging him.
"He's fine." Elena let a sigh of relief escape her lips as she said this.
"Of course he is." Rose said with tears in her eyes.
"DAMON!" They heard Katherine yelling as she ran at him. She fell in his arms, holding him tight. Damon was surprised at first but then he hugged her back. Elena didn't even give herself time to think of why Katherine was hugging him like that, or what she was to him. He was safe and that's all that mattered to her.
Rose helped Elena stand up. "Come on. Alaric will drive you at Damon's house." Rose said and waved to Alaric's direction.
"Rose I'm glad you're safe." Elena said and embraced Rose. "And even thought it wasn't the best of experiences, I'm glad I was there and you didn't have to face him alone." Rose broke the contact of their bodies first.
"I'm so sorry, for everything. You didn't have to see all this."
"What's the matter?" Alaric asked as he came to stand near them.
"Ric take Elena at Damon's place and stay with her until Damon comes back. She needs to rest and calm down." She ordered him.
"Sure. Let's go Elena." He said but she didn't move an inch from where she was standing. She was looking at Damon. "He's fine. The police will ask him a couple of questions and he'll come home too." Elena looked one last time, only to see Katherine hugging him again. What was the deal between them? She couldn't figure it out. Damon had never mentioned her.
"Let's go Ric." She finally said and started moving towards his car.
Elena was in Damon's bedroom. Alaric had suggested for her to rest for a while. She tried to sleep the first ten minutes that she had stayed in there, but it wasn't exactly the ideal place for her to stop thinking about him. She was in his house, in his bedroom, trying to sleep on his bed, smelling his scent. It was legit that she wasn't able to take her mind off of him and everything that happened.
She heard the door of the house opening and she knew he was finally there. She heard him talking to Alaric and telling him to stay with Rose for the night. Elena smiled at this. He was always so carrying with the people he loved. Then she heard Alaric leaving. Moments later the door of his bedroom opened and Damon walked in. He took in the image of her sitting on his bed waiting for him.
"You're here! Are you okay?" She asked him as she got up from the bed.
"Yep." He said and almost formed a smile. He was relieved to see she was okay as well. Her lip wasn't bleeding anymore.
"Good." She walked towards him and before he could react she slapped him in the face leaving him speechless and staring at her in shock. "You idiot! You scared me to death! You could have gotten shot or even worse..." She stopped her sentence and looked away.
"So you suddenly care about me?" He asked her angrily.
"What kind of question is that?" She spit back at him.
"I don't know, Elena. Maybe the fact that you didn't answer any of my calls and didn't care to call me back doesn't exactly show how much you care about me."
"Our relationship had gone beyond friendship, Damon! It wasn't right towards Tom."
"And now? Is it right that you're here in person, while you're about to marry that guy?" He asked her but didn't wait for an answer and continued. "Well you know what? I'm done with this situation. I've been waiting for two weeks, until I couldn't anymore. I had to move on and I did." He lied. He would say anything to make her leave. He couldn't take this anymore. He didn't want her to have so much control over him when he couldn't even have her. "So you can go back to Mystic Falls and keep on living in your bubble with "
"It's good to hear your thoughts. Fire away, Damon." Elena challenged him. That only made him angrier.
"I have nothing to say to you. I'm done." He said and a sigh escaped his mouth.
"Good! Because now it's time for you to listen. I'm not here while I'm marrying another guy. I came here to find you and tell you that I broke up with him, because..." She paused for a second. "an old friend of mine walked in my life and changed it. He made me see that life might not be easy, but there's always hope to find happiness. He made me laugh, cry, go mad. He made me live again. And I haven't lived for quite a long time. And after everything...I realized that I was so in love with him that I couldn't handle it. But I did. In the end I took control and changed my entire life for him...yeah it took some time...but I did it." She kept on looking at him intensely. He was speechless and staring at her with his eyes wide open. "This is the part where you say something." But he just kept on looking at her with an expression that Elena couldn't decode. "Okay then..I'll leave. I don't wanna bother you." Her vision was getting blurry because of the tears that were ready to fall. "Just take this." She handed him a letter. "It's what I owe you for the extra days you stayed in Mystic Falls." With that she walked out of the room.
She was almost at the door when a hand grabbed her and turned her around. Brown teary eyes locked with ocean blue ones in an intense look. Before she knew what was happening, Damon grabbed her by the waist and brought her close to him. The moment that his lips crushed hers, it felt like the balance of nature had been restored. They kissed hungrily, like their lives depended on that kiss. Elena's hands travelled through his hair and his face, trying to bring him even closer. Damon was the first to break the kiss. He took in the sight of her shocked face. He had left her brathless and he loved it.
"Now wouldn't that guy be the biggest asshole in the world to let you walk away?" He asked her and a smile was fixed on his face. He knew that she had hurt him but he couldn't not forgive her after everything she told him. Except from making him wait, she had done everything right. She stayed true to herself and her feelings and he was proud to see her take control of her life. That was the girl he had fallen for.
"You mean the guy who has moved on?" She asked, without holding back the tears anymore. "With a very attractive woman, for the record." And there was the jealousy.
"Well that guy probably had to find a distraction, because he thought he lost the girl he's in love with." His eyes were full of emotion. "And for the record he doesn't find her more attractive than you. And she doesn't matter to him." He said, still holding her in his arms.
"But he matters to her." She said, not looking him in the eyes. " I saw you Damon. She was so relieved to see you were okay. She must have feelings for you."
"She's a friend." He said quickly. "Yeah we slept together once, but it was only because I tried to drink myself into a coma when you didn't call." He said and kissed her cheek making Elena melt. She was finally not a forbidden zone for him. He could touch her and kiss her without having to hide from anyone.
"I believe you." She said, gaining a smile from him. "Can we leave everything in the past? I'm here because I want this. Us. And we're finally free. If you can forgive me for making you wait, there's nothing stopping us."
"I already have." He whispered and gave her another smile, and this time she smiled back. She closed the space between them and captured his lips in a slow kiss that soon became passionate. Damon took a few steps forward until her back hit his front door. His hands were all over her, consuming her.
"You have no idea for how long I've been wanting to do this." He said with a low sexy voice between kisses.
"Trust me I know. I've been wanting the same thing." She said as his kisses went from her lips to her chin and travelled down to her neck. Her eyes closed and her hands touched his hair. Her neck was a very sensitive spot for her and the way he was using his lips on it made her moan.
"Let's go in the bedroom." He stopped kissing her neck and grabbed the back of her thighs in order to lift her off the floor. Her legs closed around his waist as he started walking towards his room. His steps were slow because he was too busy kissing her. He felt like he couldn't get enough.
When they finally got near the bed, he let her down, never letting his mouth lose the contact it had with hers. She started unbuttoning his black shirt until his toned chest was revealed to her eyes. She stopped kissing his mouth and let herself admire him. She started kissing his neck, using her tongue in all the sensitive spots that she knew would bring him pleasure. Damon didn't waste any more time and grabbed the hem of her shirt and started lifting it inch by inch. Elena stopped kissing his neck and lifted her arms in order to help him get rid of it. Their lips met again and again as she helped him get his shirt completely off too. Once Damon was shirtless he grabbed her waist and connected her bodies with hers. He brought down one the straps of her bra and kissed her bare shoulder, before he unclasped it and took it off of her. Her breasts were finally exposed to his hungry eyes and he cupped one of them in his hand, massaging it and pinching the nipple while his mouth moved to her neck. The pleasure that he was bringing her was too much and Elena thought she might reach an orgasm if he kept going like this.
Damon felt her tense and stopped. He didn't want this to be over fast. The rest of their clothes came off and they fell on the bed. Elena could feel Damon's cock touching her belly, begging for attention as he was hovering above her. She quickly grabbed him and started moving her hand up and down his shaft. Damon closed his eyes. Never had a handjob affected him so much before, but watching Elena holding his manhood in her tiny hands was the sexiest thing he had ever seen in his life.
"Fuck!" He said and took her hand away from his throbbing member. "Let me take care of you." He whispered in her ear and then bit down at her earlobe. His hand found one of her breasts, while his mouth kissed all the way down her other one. Once he reached it, he started sucking at it. Elena's moans filled the room as his expert tongue worked its magic on her.
"This is so good." She said in ecstasy. No one had ever brought her so much pleasure just by sucking at her breasts.
Damon started moving his mouth lower and lower until he reached her hipbones. He sucked at each of them and then moved down at her pussy.
"I wanna taste you." He said and didn't lose any time. His mouth attacked her, sucking and swirling his tongue around her clit, while he was still massaging her breast with his one hand. Elena's moans got louder and she tangled her fingers in his hair, holding his head at the place she needed him.
"Keep going." She almost shouted.
"I'm gonna make you come so hard baby." He said and slid two fingers inside of her and started moving them in and out while his tongue kept on playing with her clit. "You're so wet and tight." He increased his pace until he felt her walls pulsating around his fingers, signaling her climax. Elena screamed his name as she came hard.
She was still panting, as he kissed her stomach, breasts and then her neck.
"I need to be inside you." He said and grabbed a condom from the drawer near his bed. Elena helped him place it and then grabbed him and positioned him at her entrance. He pushed inside of her inch by inch, which made Elena bite down at his shoulder. He let her walls adjust to his size and then started moving in and out of her in an excruciating slow pace. His one hand stroked her face as their lips collided into a deep kiss. Damon started moving faster inside of her and Elena took hold of his back as she started meeting him thrust by thrust. Thanks to his length he was hitting spots inside of her that she didn't even know they existed and making her feel like she was in heaven. Her walls tightened around him and Damon knew she was close and started moving even faster until he brought her over the edge, giving her the most intense orgasm of her life. He thrust himself a couple more times inside of her and then collapsed on top of her as his orgasm took him over.
Elena held him there, massaging his scalp, making him relax. She had never felt more complited in her entire life. She never knew what it was like to be with a person you had so strong feelings for, until that night. She wanted them to stay like this forever. Damon lifted his head and looked inside her eyes and in that moment she knew that his thoughts were reflecting hers. He wanted this as much as she wanted it.
"I could get used to this." He smiled at her and she captured his lips in a quick playful kiss.
"And I thought you hated it." She teased him.
"Do you want me to show you how much I hate it once more?" He smirked. Elena could feel his member coming to life again.
"Yeah, I think I could use a reminder." She said and kissed him fiercely.
For once, everything was fine.
So that was it. I bet you didn't see this coming. And to be honest I didn't either, the plot twist with Jack is something I came up with while writing the chapter. I thought it would be more interesting than just write an entire chapter of Damon and Elena screaming at eachother. Also...the sex scene. That's what I'm more anxious about. I have written Twitter smut about Damon and Elena before, but I've never really wrote anything like this. So how did you like it? Did it feel natural? I hope it wasn't rushed or anything. I tried hard to make it come organically. I can't wait to read your reviews on this one, so don't forget to leave one please! You can also find me on Twitter ( shelovesdamon) and I will gladly talk to you and answer to any questions you might have about the story or the characters or even give you some spoilers. I love you all xoxo
