What the hell is that sound? I want to sleep. I breathed deeply and resume my beautiful nap.

Fine! I'll get up! I start to get up until I stopped thanks to a heavy migraine. Angrily, I picked the phone and answered. "What?!"

-"Someone is in a bad mood." She laughed and I recognized that loud sound.

-"Caroline? Oh my god! I'm so sorry!" I face palm myself. Smart Elena, smart.

-"Don't worry. You had replied worse before." She said casually and giggled.

-"True." I laughed. "So, what's up?"

-"Well, it's been almost a week and I wanted to know how are you." Caroline replied sadly. She misses me. Care always was who called no matter how bitchy she is sometimes.

-"It's been...interesting." I said slowly not knowing what to said.

-"Interesting?! How visiting colleges is interesting?" She said sarcastically.

Then I frowned. "College?" I asked her very confused.

-"Your aunt told Bonnie and me that you were with a guy named Damon visiting Colleges in all the States. Also, that you come back before September to Mystic Falls." Caroline said slowly and I think mid way she started to realize that I wasn't.

-"You are not in a college trip, aren't you?" She said with an accusation tone.

Then my eyes widened when I realize. That was the excuse Damon told me he said. I curse under my breath. I'm busted. I think my silence gave her answer because next thing I know, she began yelling me.

-"Elena Gilbert! Did you just lied to your family and friends to go in a road trip?! Oh missy, you're-"

-"I didn't lie! Damon did!" I cut her off and corrected the detail. It was true. Damon made the calls, I didn't.

-"So Damon was the hottie of the car?" Caroline asked me. I swear I can see her smirk from a mile.

-"Yes." I told simply and blushed a little.

-"Oh. My. God." Her voice sounded when a girl finds his crush on her porch. I laughed.

-"Does he have a brother?" Caroline asked curiously.

I opened my mouth, but closing it quickly. I don't know if he has relatives. I know that he was born in Mystic Falls, but that's it. I'll ask him later. "I don't know. But Damon doesn't seem the family guy." I told my best friend.

She groaned and I rolled my eyes. I was going to say something else when I heard a door open. I blinked twice and I noticed now I'm back in my hotel room. Talking about being distracted.

-"Care, I have to go." I spoke in rush.

-"Oh, okay." Her tone sad, but she managed to bring joy in her voice when she talk next. "Take care! This conversation isn't over!"

-"Call you later! Love you!" I laughed and hang up.

Damn it! The migraine is starting to get annoying.

-"Carole?" Damon walked over with humor in his eyes. I chuckled at his nickname.

-"Caroline" I correct him. I threw my by body back to the bed. He said something about 'rare names these days' and sat besides me.

-"How're you feeling?" He said concerned.

-"I think the migrany world loves me." I said sarcastic and made with my fingers quotes when I said migrany world.

-"Here. I brought some food with pain killers." Damon put in front of me a plastic bag from a market I suppose.

I looked at him amazed by the gesture. He noticed and answer quickly. "It's morning and I guess you've been hungry." How sweet.

-"Thank you." I told him as I stand my upper body and began devouring our breakfast.

I started first with an egg sandwich. He picked a pickle for breakfast. Who likes pickles? I don't! They taste weird. While we're eating an idea popped up in my head. I don't remember so much about last night and also I don't have many knowledge about Damon so why not play a game?

Don't get me wrong. I can ask him about last night, but every time I ask him to filled my empty memory Damon says 'an accident, don't worry'

-"Damon, let's play 20 questions." I told him after I finished my sandwich. He was about to say no when I plead him it will be fun. He stared at me for a while before he responses.

-"Okay. You first."
