*Walks in 2 years late holding the next chapter* Hey is anyone still interested in this? No one? Ah well, it was bugging me that I have stories on here that aren't finished so I read over the story and I am now writing the end. There are probably only a few chapters left anyway, I'm not too sure why I stopped writing but anyway, I want to finish this so here goes! I hope you all like it!
Katherine… Pregnant?! There is no way that could be true but why would Matty lie about this? Maybe, and I'm clutching at straws here, Katherine made this up. Maybe she didn't want to lose Damon and made up this whole lie to get him back! But that seems really desperate, I don't think even she would sink to that level. God, she must be pregnant. I guess there is only one thing I can do about this. She is a vile girl but nobody should have to have a baby on their own. I'll offer Damon my support but I guess a relationship is really off the cards right now.
The six teens were in uproar, no one knew what to think of the situation. Matt's body was heaving up and down, the rage that had been building up inside of him the whole journey over quickly disappearing as he slowly realised what a mess this whole situation was. By the looks on everyone's faces, they hadn't heard the news and they were all generally surprised to hear this.
"We've been on two dates!" Damon mumbled from the floor. "This isn't even possible."
Elena had sunk to her knees beside him, dread spreading through every bone in her body when Matty said those vile words. They were having such a nice weekend as well, something just had to ruin it. She looked up at her best friends to see what they thought. Caroline's eyes were wide and she just stared at Damon and then back to Stefan. Bonnie's mouth was set in a tight line and Elena could practically see the thoughts surging though her head at an alarming rate.
Stefan's reaction surprised Elena. She expected to see rage or disgust towards his brother but instead there was panic in his eyes. Panic for Damon or panic for himself she wondered before turning back to Damon.
"This is literally impossible," he said again.
Elena felt like she couldn't form the right words to say to him and was trying her hardest when Bonnie stepped up.
"It's not impossible," she said, kneeling beside him and squeezing his arm. "No contraceptive is 100% effective and you know, an accident might have happened."
"Yeah bro, do you not remember learning that stuff about being extra safe and shit?" Stefan's voice squeaked slightly towards the end. Elena still said nothing, just wiped Damon's hair away from his face. He looked up at her even though he didn't want to see the hurt that would be on her face. Instead he found concern in her gorgeous brown eyes. She truly cared about him.
Damon sighed. He knew he was going to have to tell everyone why this was impossible. "That's not what I meant. It's impossible for Katherine to be pregnant with my child because I have never had sex with her."
There was silence in the room until Caroline giggled. "As is we are going to believe that one. Damon Salvatore didn't bed the lovely Katherine Pierce? In what world would that be in?"
"This one. I have never had sex. I'm a virgin." Damon shot a sideways glance at Elena to see how she was reacting before he stood up and walked out the room.
Stefan frowned. "Well that's the first time I've ever heard that. I don't think Damon would lie about this sort of thing."
Elena looked up at him, stunned. "Wait, you don't actually know for sure?"
"Well it's not something we really get into deep conversations about. You know like, Hey Damon, I've been seeing Katherine around the house a lot more. Let me ask you this, have you banged her yet?" he put on a ridiculous voice while asking the space on the floor where Damon had previously been."I didn't really want to know the answer to that question. As for every other girl he has dated, he was never really serious about any of them. He would rather stay at home and chill rather than have them round. They were too needy for his liking." Stefan shrugged. Elena made a mental note to remain slightly aloof if their relationship ever developed.
Matt had been listening quietly to the conversation while putting his thoughts together. "So what we are saying is, Damon can't be the baby daddy. Then who is it?"
Stefan paled slightly. "Well… um… I was with her the other night and we did some… things. But I didn't have sex with her. It can't be me, right?"
Caroline squeezed his shoulder. "You're in a panic. There is no way it can be yours if you didn't sleep with her. Calm down." She felt him relax slightly beside her and she pulled him in for a hug.
"Who says she is even pregnant at all? Maybe she is making it up?"
Everyone turned to face Bonnie. "Are you really suggesting that she would spread a rumour about herself? What would be the purpose of it?" Elena gasped. Surely the girl she had started to get along with couldn't be capable of such a horrible thing.
"Maybe she wanted Damon back?" Bonnie shrugged. "We all know she is downright crazy and by saying the baby is Damon's she knows that he would never abandon his child. His heart is too pure for that."
"But if they never had sex then surely she knew that plan would backfire?"
"I don't know how she will work round that bit, but this is the girl that made cheerleading tryouts a living hell with only her ideas. Surely she would be able to make up some sort of a plan?" Caroline mused.
"Maybe. I guess we are all going to have to be on guard for the next few lies she spouts," Elena nodded. She walked over to Matt and gave him a hug. "Thanks for telling us. But maybe next time don't hit Damon until we get the truth from him?" He nodded at her when she let him go."
Elena stood back and faced all of them. "Right, hopefully we can still save this night. We know the truth even if the rest of the school doesn't. We all have to be there for Damon and most of all, not let this piece of news ruin our trip. Katherine probably wants Damon to be miserable and not enjoy his time with us so I say, let's spite her and enjoy ourselves!" she beamed at them all.
They all nodded although some were slightly reluctant. "Okay, plans! Caroline, light the fire. Bonnie, grab the supplies for smores. Stefan pick out a great horror movie, I mean one that will make all of us jump and scream and is scarier than Katherine being head cheerleader. Matty, arrange the pillows and blankets into a makeshift fort. I will make the popcorn and find Damon! Everybody, fall out!" Elena ordered. The two boys saluted her with cheeky grins on their faces while the girls rolled their eyes but laughed and went to do their jobs. Elena rushed into the kitchen to grab the popcorn.
She had three different flavours with her and as she emptied them into different bowls to put in the microwave she felt strong arms wrap around her waist, pulling her to his body. "And what are my orders, captain?" Damon whispered into her ear.
Elena nearly dropped her bowl in fright and turned round to face him. She lifted her hands to his face and softly asked, "Are you alright?"
He nodded slightly. "I wasn't. I walked around on the porch for a bit trying to clear my head. I tried to remember if I had gotten drunk and slept with her but the only time that could have happened was at my parents dance and we fell out that night so there was no way it happened. Then I heard you guys talking and I don't want to believe she would do that but I fear you might be right." He frowned and let go of her, putting the bowl into the microwave.
"For a while there I just wanted to go home and curl up in a ball in my room and talk to no one but then I heard you talking. Sweet, kind, beautiful Elena Gilbert who wants nothing but to make sure I'm happy. I'll be okay, as long as you believe me." He looked down into her eyes, Elena felt them piercing right through to her soul.
"Of course I do. Why would you lie about that?" Elena asked shocked. "Although I am pretty amazed that you haven't slept with anyone. Who wouldn't want to snag you up?" she teased.
He smirked. "There have been plenty of offers, believe me. I just wanted to wait until I had found the perfect girl. I believe I might have her," he said as he gave her a dopey smile.
"You are so cheesy," she laughed. "And we haven't even been out on a date yet so I don't think you can make that assumption," she teased.
"I have known you your whole life, I think I can safely make that assumption."
"Well it took you long enough to realise it," she blushed. "I have had a crush on you for years Damon."
His eyes widened. "Really?"
She nodded, still blushing which made him laugh. "Well then, I better make up for lost time." He leant down to kiss her, this time more slowly carefully, eager to leave her wanting a lot more.
She opened her eyes, amazed that he could take her breath away do easily. "Call that a kiss?" she tried to say but only half of the sentence came out.
"We better finish making this popcorn before the others think we have ran away together."
"We have already thought that," Stefan laughed, leaning on the kitchen doorway. "I was sent to see where on earth the popcorn is."
Elena laughed and put another bowl in after she took the first one out. "Here's your favourite, Stefan. Toffee."
He grinned and grabbed the bowl off of her. "All mine!" he laughed evilly and hugged the bowl to his chest.
"Good thing I brought another bag just in case he did something like that," she laughed.
They finished making the popcorn and brought it out to the others just as the movie started. All six of them snuggled down together in the fort, laughing and throwing popcorn at each other all through the movie.
It's probably not even as long as other chapters but I just wanted to get into the swing of writing things again. So sorry about that guys! Anyway, thank you all for reading and I hope I get to hear from you soon!
