For your wonderful reviews...
This chapter won't really be the same as the show's episode, making it my own... ;)
Chapter 28: PLAN B
I saw lying on my bed, I thought about the night before, Damon hadn't lied, he'd come over, all kissy and...un Damon like...dick nearly got caught by Jenna but he was fast, my eyes were still closed and I rolled over onto my side and then something stoked my face, my eyes flew open and I saw Damon, who's lips met mine before I got a chance to say anything.
"Wha-" I began but he did it again, and he smirked against my lips knowing he was getting his own way.
"We never finished our kiss last night" He whispered into my ear, his breath tickled my neck.
"I'm sure if we had then it would've went a whole different direction" I said, blushing at the thought
"It's a shame it didn't" He huffed "I would've enjoyed it"
I blushed and looked away from him. "Hmmm"
"I suppose we could finish now" He said and I looked back at him.
"You wish Salvatore" I smirked and he then hovered above me.
"I already have what I wished fro" He said, his breath still tickling me and then he kissed my neck, I moaned, what was he turning me into?
My heart fluttered as he continued to kiss my neck, and then his lips met mine again. I smirked and he stared down at me.
"What?" He whispered.
"Nothing" I said shaking my head and then somehow, I managed to catch him off guard, I was above him, and he was smirking.
"I like the way you think" He said and went to kiss me.
"Mmm-mmm" I said moving and I stood up.
He groaned "You're a tease"
"Coming from you?"
"Touché" He said.
"I need to go for a shower" I said going over to my drawers.
"Again, I like the way you think, how about I join you?" He asked.
I turned to look at him and shook my head "Nope" I popped the P.
He was then behind me, arms wrapped around my waist and I closed my eyes, trying not sigh. He turned me around so I was facing him and he cupped my face.
"I'm enjoying this...but I'll get my way eventually" He said with a smirk.
"Keep dreaming" I breathed out.
He pressed his body to mine and I could've given in right there and he leaned in, kissed my neck, I bit back a moan and I could feel his mouth at my ear "I don't need to dream, I'll eventually get it...I think tonight may be the night..." He pulled back and grinned at my expression before quickly touching my neck.
He was then gone, I looked around and sighed. He was pushing it...and I was on the verge of giving in.
-LATER-
I was standing with Elena, and Bonnie, who was freaking out because she'd touched Mason. That's when Damon appeared.
"Damon, what are you doing here?" I asked.
"Looking for my baby bro" He said staring at me, that glint in his eye "Speaking of...you should tell yours to stop following me around"
"What's going on?" Elena asked.
"Ask him"
Jeremy appeared as Damon left to have a chat with Stefan, who was across the room.
"Jeremy what's he making you do?" Elena asked.
"He's not making me do anything, Damon and I..."
"No way, no, no, no, no. There is no "Damon and you" Elena said."There's Damon and whoever Damon's using and those people end up dead. Whatever is going on Jeremy I want you to stay out of it" Elena said.
I frowned, to which Elena noticed.
"I don't really care what you want Elena, It's because of you and Aj that I'm in this mess, so I'm sorry that you don't really gonna tell me what to do" Jeremy bit back.
"What did I do?" I asked, my mouth going into an "O" shape.
Jeremy frowned at me and then left, I excused myself and went to the bathroom, I shut the door and looked at myself in the mirror. I frowned and was then grabbed, and shoved against the wall, I grunted and tried to move but found that I couldn't. I had my eyes shut, and I thought it was Damon.
"Damon-"I went to say but when I opened my eyes I realised it wasn't Damon...it was...me? ELIZABETH!
"Hello April" She breathed and smelled my neck "You, know you smell delicious"
I grunted and tried to move but she slammed me into the wall again. "Stop trying to move"
"What...what do you want?" I asked.
She stared at me, her arm half choking me "I want you dead..."
"Then kill me" I said.
She smirked "Feisty, I see you'll put up a fight"
"What do you want?" I demanded again.
She stared at me and then frowned "You know what I want"
"Damon?" I asked gruffly.
"Pfff, please" She said rolling her eyes "No, my sister and I want the moonstone"
"I don't have it"
"But you can find it" She said.
"No...no I can't"
She banged my head on the wall and growled at me "I won't hesitate on killing you little girl"
"Then why am I still breathing air?"
She didn't have a comeback for it and nudged me, I fell to the floor when she let me go and I breathed in heavily. She knelt in front of me.
"Don't think for one minute that he cares about you, because sweetheart he doesn't"
I stared at her, my eyes wide.
"He's using you for one reason and one reason only, and that's because you look like me"
"What do you want from me?!" I demanded.
"You? Nothing personally" She said. "I want to show you what Damon Salvatore really is, I want to make your life as worthless as possible"
"You've already done it" I said getting up and facing her, where was the Bravado act coming from?
"I'd steer clear of him, if I were you...you know, you remember that night? He thought you had sex with him"
I glared at her "How could I forget?"
"Well the day after...you want to know what he said to me?"
"Not really" I said.
"He told me that, we could start over, leave everything behind, leave you behind...cause like I said he doesn't want you...you're a toy as far as he's concerned and you always be...the second choice because he can't have me, because he loves me"
"Then why aren't you with him?" I growled.
She seemed impressed "Because, I don't love him, there has only ever been one man that I love...and Damon didn't even compare to him"
"Who? Who could you possibly ever love?"
"You'll find out eventually" She said with a smirk. "Have fun with always being the toy April"
She was then gone, I stared at the emptiness in front of me and slid to the ground, tears streaking my face. Was she right? Well this whole thing with Damon started after she wasn't in the tomb...my heart thudded at the thought. I was his toy and nothing else...I cringed at my stupidity. How could I be so stupid?
-THIRD PERSON POV-
Damon was looking around the room, searching for April, he hadn't seen her since he'd left to go speak with Stefan. He quickly found Elena, who glared at him.
"What?" He asked.
"Nothing" She sighed and looked away.
"Where's April?" He asked.
"Um, she went to the bathroom, but that was twenty minutes ago, so I don't know where she is" She said and Damon turned "Do you care about her Damon?" She asked, stopping him in his tracks.
He turned to look at her and he frowned "What?"
"Do you REALLY care about her, or is it because she looks like Elizabeth?"
"Elizabeth has nothing to do with it"
"But you love her right?" Elena asked.
Damon leaned in "No"
He then moved back and left her standing, watching him, Damon was angry, at the thought that everyone thought he was still chasing after her...HER Elizabeth, who he hoped died eventually. He'd do it, with happiness in his eyes.
Damon walked around, still not finding her anywhere, he heard heavy breathing, which took him to the bathroom, he opened the door and stopped in his tracks, there she was, sitting on the ground, knees up at her chest and her face in her hands.
He shut the door and was over at her within seconds, he removed her hands away from her face. She was crying, why was she crying?
"What's wrong with you?" He asked softly.
"Nothing" She said quickly.
"April—"
"Nothing Damon just drop it!" She snapped getting up and going to walk to the door, but he was in front of her.
"April" He warned when she tried to go past him.
She was avoiding his eyes, why? What had he done? He tried to make her look at him, but she wouldn't.
"What have I done?" He asked.
She looked at him and the tears welled in her eyes again, confusing him even more, she pushed away from him and managed to get out of the bathroom.
-AJ'S POV-
I got away from him, and I headed for the door, I didn't want to be in the same place as him, I was thankful that the place was crowded because if it hadn't been he'd be in front of me. I banged into someone.
"Sorry Aj" Stefan's voice said.
"It's fine" I mumbled going to go past him but he grabbed my arm.
"What's wrong with you? Why have you been crying?"
"No I've not" I said quickly, he tilted my chin up so I would look at him.
"Yes you have" He said "What is it?"
"Nothing"
"Aj—"
"I...I met Elizabeth" I said.
He frowned "When?"
"Like ten minutes ago" I said.
"Where is she?"
"I don't know..." I said honestly "I don't know where she went"
"What did she say to you?"
"Nothing of importance" I said as I saw Damon, staring at me, eyes wide because he'd heard. "I need to go"
Stefan let go of me and I went out of the house and headed home.
-LATER-
They were out getting the moonstone; I was on my bed, half asleep, when I felt a presence next to me. I didn't need to turn to know it was Damon.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked demandingly.
I shrugged not answering him.
"April" He warned.
"Because it's not important" I snapped.
"What did she say to you?" He asked.
"Nothing"
"April I mean it"
I didn't want to say it to him...I didn't even want to think about it, but I knew I had to. I sat up, still not looking at him, he watched me with big eyes.
"She said that...she didn't love you"
"That's what made you cry?" He asked with a laugh "She's already told me this"
I turned to look at him, frowning and I shook my head "No"
"Then what?"
"She said you didn't...you loved her" I said and looked away from him, staring ahead of me.
He scoffed "What else?"
"That you were using me"
He didn't say anything and I turned to look at him, my eyes wide and he was staring back at me, a frown on his face.
"What else?" He asked with a hard tone.
"That I would always be your toy" I said looking away "And that you would never care about me"
"And you believed her?!" He demanded, then in front of me, staring into my eyes.
I stuttered, not sure what to say.
"If you believed her, then you don't trust me"
"I never ever said I didn't trust you" I said "But you told her that you wanted to be with her...that you would start over"
He frowned "That was then"
"What about now?" I asked "What is there?"
"Us" He said and leaned forward "I don't want her, April I'm sure I've made that clear"
"No, not really" I said.
He glared at me "Would you believe me if I did this?" He asked.
"What?"
He kissed me, so passionately, something that he hadn't done before, all the rest felt lustful, this didn't. He pulled me to him and didn't pull away from the kiss.
He then pulled back "That enough for you?"
I sighed and nodded he pulled me back in again and then stood.
"I need to go...I have a wolf coming to visit"
"Be careful" I said with a nod.
"Always am"
I tilted my head and he kissed my forehead and was then gone.
-LATER-
-THIRD PERSON POV-
Damon was fixing Mason's body into a blanket, the anger he'd taken out on him was all because of Elizabeth...who had her sister playing with Mason, just as well as she had been him.
Stefan came into the room and showed him the stone.
"All this for that?" Damon asked.
"Yep, I see you've exercised your usual restraint" Stefan replied.
"Had to be done"
He pulled out Mason's phone and began texting, Stefan watching him curiously.
"Carol, big opportunity in Florida, I'm gonna be gone for a long time, I'll send for my things once I'm settled, much love Mason" Damon smirked.
"let's get rid of this body"
"Oh, last number dialled I wonder who that could possibly be" Damon said.
"No, no, no! Don't provoke her!" Stefan said.
He'd already done it and the voice answered it.
"Mason, you were supposed to be here an hour ago" The voice, he recognised so well said "Katherine is waiting for you"
"Wrong boy toy" Damon smirked.
"Damon" She sighed "For once, you surprised me, I surprised your girlfriend today, I assume Mason is with you"
"He's right beside me, though his heart's across the room"
"You shouldn't have" Elizabeth said.
"I've had a very busy day today, I killed a werewolf, found the moonstone, hey did you know that he hid the moonstone at the bottom of a well full of vervain? I guess he didn't trust you very much but he did love Katherine, poor guy, hey where are you? Because I could bring him over, last goodbyes and all that" Damon smirked.
"You have no idea what you've just done" She said.
"Aww, did I put a kink in your master plan? I'm so sorry"
"Do you honestly believe that we don't have a plan B? Or a plan C then a plan D and...well you know how the alphabet works don't you? Send Katherine's love to Stefan for her" She said and hung up.
Damon looked over at Stefan, who had heard the whole thing.
-AJ'S POV-
I went into the kitchen, to see Jenna, Elena and Alaric.
"Where's Jeremy?" I asked.
"Oh, he went straight up to his room, he said he wasn't hungry" Rick said.
"Who is she talking to?" Elena asked.
"I don't know, everything go ok today?" Rick asked.
"There were a few hiccups but yeah"
"Yeah, of course, I understand, Elena it's for you" She said handing the phone to Elena.
"Who is it? Hello?" Elena asked.
I watched as her eyes widened.
"Katherine" She said.
I turned and then spotted Jenna "JENNA NO!" I screamed
"Jenna! Jenna!" Rick shouted as she plunged the knife into her stomach.
I dropped the plate I was holding and rushed towards her.
"No, no, no, no" I mumbled to myself trying to stop the bleeding, Elena put the phone down.
-HOPSITAL-
I was in the room with Alaric and Jenna, with the doctor, I couldn't take anymore so I walked out of the waiting room and spotted Jeremy and Elena, they stood
"Is she ok?" He asked.
"The doctors told Alaric that she got lucky, she's gonna make it, she's gonna be ok" I said.
"Did she remember what happened?" Elena asked.
"No, nothing" I said "It's all bit of Katherine's compulsion"
"Why would Katherine hurt Jenna?" Jeremy asked.
"Because she's trying to send a message" I said.
"That she can get to anybody" Elena finished, she began to cry.
"Hey, hey, come here" Jeremy said to her and embraced her. I was holding myself together...
"It's gonna be ok" He said looking at me.
"No it's not" Elena cried.
"She's gonna pay Laney, I don't know how, but she's gonna pay" I said.
-SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE-
I told Elena I'd drive her to the house and she went in, I went in too and listened to their conversation, I had never seen Stefan cry before, but that's when Elena came out and walked past me, and my heart sank for her.
But before we could go anywhere Damon stopped us.
"April, Elena, I riled them up, I wasn't thinking, I didn't think!" He said looking at Elena then at me.
"It doesn't matter Damon" Elena said "They won...They won" She opened the door and ran out.
I wanted to say something...anything but I couldn't find the words, but the look on Damon's face..
"It's not your fault Damon" I said softly and he looked up at me, tears were in his eyes, I gave a small smile before going out the door and shut the door behind me.
I drove Elena home and went in, she went straight to bed, Jeremy was in the kitchen.
"You ok?" He asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine" I said
"I know you're not" He said "I know when you're hurting and recently it's been alot"
"Jer" I sighed but he pulled me into a hug.
"Don't be scared to tell me stuff" He whispered.
"I'm not"
"Yes you are Aj" He sighed "Because you think it's your job to...hold it all in"
My grip tightened on him and I closed my eyes, tears going down my cheeks.
"Well it isn't" He said "Because I'm here to listen to...you listen to all my crap"
I laughed "Shut up"
I pushed him back "Stop trying to be strong" he said.
"It's my job Jer" I said kissed his cheek "Night"
"Night" he said and I turned going into my bedroom, and there he was, sitting on the foot of my bed.
My lip trembled at the sight of him, I shut my room door and he was in front of me, cupping my face.
"He's right you know..."
"What?"
"You don't always have to be strong..." He said and before I could say anything he kissed me...
