Home Sweet Home.
Chapter Twenty-One; Tears
Disclaimer; I don't own The Vampire Diaries… just this plot and my own writing.
"So… I broke up with Matt last night." Elena locked eyes with a guilty looking Caroline who continued to sip at her Cappuccino.
"You broke up with him cause of Tyler?"
"Well… no." Elena rose an eyebrow. "Okay.. Yes,"
"Caro…" Elena sighed.
"I know! I feel terrible… I do love Matt… but honestly, I've only just realized that it's doesn't hold anything to what I feel for Tyler."
"But Tyler's with Bonnie, Car.. And she's your friend!"
"I know.." Caroline sighed. "But Tyler told me things haven't been working out with them either.."
"That doesn't make it right-"
"Anyway, what's this about you and Damon.."
"Don't change the subject!" Elena snapped making Caroline giggle.
"Come on, tell me!" Elena sighed.
"Urgh.. Fine, We kissed last night." Caroline squealed in happiness.
"YAY! Finally!" Elena rolled her eyes." Are you two together now then or- "
"Woah, Caroline. Slow down."
"Well.. Are you?"
"I don't know.."
"How can you not know?"
"You know how complicated this is, Caro."
"I guess." The blonde vampire shrugged. "So come on, what sort of kiss was it.. Was there tongue?" She grinned cheekily.
"Caroline!"
"What?" She said. "It's a perfectly good question!" Elena let out a small gasp of pain suddenly, clutching at her neck. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing.. Just the painkillers wearing off."
"You know, I could heal you Elena… one little glass of my blood and you'd be fighting fit." Elena looked pointedly at Caroline.
"Yes Caroline, I'm sure that would go down well with my Aunt and the rest of the world how I miraculously recovered overnight.."
"Stranger things have happened…" Elena laughed at that.
"I guess your right." Elena's phone beeped, making her take it out of her pocket. She smiled, noticing a text.
from: Damon
You. Me. My Bed. Now.
Elena tingled with excitement and smirked slightly.
"I gotta' run Caro." She said, standing up. "I'll call you later though okay?"
"Okay, later Lena'" And then Elena was out of there, practically sprinting to the Boarding House.
Elena let her head rest against Damon's firm chest as they lay, naked in his bed together. His fingers were tracing flirty circles across her hip bone making her giggle.
"How are you feeling?" He asked her and she sighed, contently.
"On top of the world." She smiled and she knew he was smirking.
"I tend to do that to women…"
"Well, the only woman I want you doing that to from now on is me."
"I have no problems with that." He shifted slightly and moved to kiss her lips. She happily allowed it, melting against him. When he pulled away, she rested her head against his chest once again, both of them laying in silence for at least ten minutes. Elena frowned, looking up at him.
"Your quiet, everything okay?"
"What?" This caused her to frown even more, now concerned slightly.
"Damon, what's wrong?"
"Nothing.."
"I'm not an idiot, Damon.. Tell me." He sighed but nodded.
"You know I love you, okay.. So please try not to take this in an extremely bad way.."
"Of corse.. What's wrong?"
"Elena… maybe we shouldn't do this."
"What! What are you talking about?"
"I'm afraid to loose you again, Elena… I couldn't cope."
"Damon, your not going to-"
"Yes, Yes I am Elena.." He said to her, making her sigh.
"I don't understand."
"Your leaving soon… going back to California.. Back to your job and most of all, away from me."
"Damon-"
"I can't handle loosing you again Elena.. Because I won't be coming with you. Mystic Falls is my home, and I'm sorry Elena.. But I'm not leaving. That's why I don't want to get too involved with you again, Because no matter how much I love you, I know my heart may as well be ripped out when you head home." With a sigh, Elena retracted herself from his grip and climbed out of bed, pulling on her clothes.
"So, this is it?" She asks him.
"I don't want it to be.."
"Me either. " She says with a sigh.
"I'm sorry, Elena." Elena shook her head.
"Don't Damon.."
"Elena, I really am sorry, I thought this could work, yesterday when I told you I loved you, you have to believe I was telling the truth. I've been thinking about it now and I don't just want this to be some fling that ends as soon as you leave. I love you too much to do that to you."
"Okay.."
"Elena-"
"I love you.. " She said, before turning on her heels and taking off out the bedroom, rushing for the door, not even giving him the chance to say 'I love you' back. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she slammed the front door of the Boarding House shut, just as her phone beeped. 'One new message' flashed across the screen until she clicked open and her heart broke at the text message.
I love you too… always and forever. ~Damon
The tears continued to roll as she walked down the driveway, heading for Jenna's car. She sighed, pulling the car keys out of her bag. She opened the car and pulled herself inside, feeling herself about to come undone. She was still crying when she pulled herself into the drivers seat, slamming the door shut and shoving the keys into the engine. She jumped suddenly when her phone beeped again. She sighed, expecting Damon. This time though, she was wrong.
Tyler just broke up with me… need to talk to you, Grill.. 10 mins? -Bon xox
Elena sniffed, drying her eyes before texting back a quick message.
Be there in five. Xox
Elena started the engine, and drove away without a single glance back, knowing it would be too painful if she did.
