Scarlett Pierce

I DO NOT OWN VAMPIRE DIARIES

Scarlett's POV

It's been a few days after the rescue. I have been feeling lonely. Of course, I still have Damon but I need friends too. Finally, my emotions got too much and I'm crying in the corner of my room. Pathetic right? Elena hates me and Bonnie well; I don't really know what her problem is. And I haven't been able to leave the house because of the originals might be coming after me. I feel trapped. Then all of a sudden, I heard someone at the door. Damon walked in and instantly his face turned concerned.

"Scarlett, what's wrong, love?" he came to my side and crouched in front of me putting his warm hand on my cheek.

"Are you not happy with me?"

"No!" I yelled. How could he even think that? "I need... friends..."

"I'm your friend."

"I know it's just..."

I just stopped my sentence and turned myself even more into the corner.

"This looks like a Stefan conversation," Damon said while walked out of the room to get Stefan.

A few minutes later, I heard Stefan walk in. I keep my face turned to the corner and I felt him come sit down next to me putting his arm friendly around me.

"Scar, what's wrong?" Stefan asked.

"I don't have any friends..."

"That's not true, you have me, I've been your friend for a long time."

"I know... Its just well... Elena hates me and Bonnie... I don't know about her... I don't have anyone else."

"I'm sorry, Scar, you know I will always be here for you. Why don't we go to the mall?" Stefan then got up and offered me a hand up.

"What? Wait, what's a mall?" I wondered.

"Oh that's right you where in the tomb, a mall is a place with a bunch of stores inside one building."

I just looked at him with a questionable look.

"You'll figure it out when we get there," he added.

"But what about the originals?"

"Oh right I forgot about that... Here I will go talk to Damon while you get ready."

Stefan had helped me out of the corner by now and was making his way out the door while I went to get dressed. I was coming down the stairs when I saw Damon, Stefan, Elena, and Bonnie all sitting in a circle arguing about something. When they heard me enter all their heads turned to face me.

"Did I miss something?" I asked while coming closer to the circle.

"It's nothing," Bonnie quickly spoke up with a cold tone.

"Alright," I turned to look at other people in the circle to try to find a clue to what was happening. They can't just keep me in the dark about whatever is going on.

"No she has the right to know," Damon finally spoke up while everyone had the look of 'I don't want to hurt her feelings.'

"Okay, what's going on because I thought I was just coming down here to go to the mall with Stefan."

I saw Elena stiffen when Damon added," Tell her already!"

"Bonnie is in love with Damon!" Elena blurted out.

"Elena!" everyone exclaimed at her.

"What?" well I didn't see this coming but it does explain her actions towards me. She didn't save me for me. She saved me for Damon because she cares for him!

"I... Um... Well," I started to babble when Damon got up from the circle.

"Scarlett, I love you."

"I know..."

"It's just a stupid crush," Damon added and I saw Bonnie's eyes fill with tears. Before one could fall, she ran from the room.

Elena scoffed and ran after Bonnie and I felt like it was my entire fault. I didn't want her to cry.

"Oh no..." I said aloud meaning for it to stay in my head.

"She'll be fine," Damon said while coming to wrap his arms around me.

"No, I didn't want her to cry. She shouldn't feel bad for having feelings."

"Scarlett, hear what your saying, it doesn't matter she'll get over it."

I just stared at him and then I ran into the other room to find Bonnie hearing Damon calling my name from the other room.

I found Bonnie sitting in a corner with Elena by her side.

"Bonnie..." I whispered. Elena and Bonnie glared at me.

"You shouldn't feel bad..." Bonnie looked up at me and gave me a questionable look. "I mean you can't help what you feel."

I then came closer to her when I saw it was all right.

"Why are you telling me this?" Bonnie asked whipping her face.

"Because I want you to know that it's alright to have feelings though I would not recommend stealing him from me because I can tell you now that won't end well."

Bonnie and Elena both sat there shocked probably wondering why I was being so nice. Bonnie gave me a smile while Elena glared thinking that I was trying to steal her friend, which I wasn't.

"Scar!" I heard Stefan yell.

"Coming!"

I walked back into the living room to find Stefan and Damon.

"Okay, we think it will be alright for you to go to the mall with me if you pretend your Elena," Stefan said while I saw Damon getting uncomfortable.

"What? Why?"

"Because then people in town won't have to question why there are two people walking around that look like Elena."

"I guess that makes since wait, but you and Elena are dating so that means..."

"Yes, I will have my arm around you or having gazing stares."

I saw Elena come from the other room and her facial expression looked hurt.

"Elena..." Stefan was going to try and reason with her.

"No!"

"Elena, it's not like we are really in love or anything it's pretend," I tried to get her to understand.

"No! Stefan do you even love me at all!" she yelled at him.

"Of course I do!"

"And you I told you to stay away from him! And you didn't listen! And now you are trying to steal my friend away!"

"No, Elena it's not like that I just want..."

"No! Your such a bitch!" Elena cut my sentence off and stormed into the other room.

Well, this didn't go well at all.

"Let it go, she probably didn't mean it," Damon tried to sooth me.

"No, she meant it... Maybe going to the mall isn't such a good idea."

"No, let's go, Elena will cool down," Stefan grabbed his jacket and handed me mine. He then opened the door and gestured for me to exit first. I turned to look at Damon and he had the look of go have fun on his face. I just couldn't shake the feeling that maybe going to the mall wasn't such a good idea.
