The rest of the weekend happened without incident, thank goodness. Tyler was blowing up Amber's phone and she told him that they would talk when she got back. Damon, of course, was being Damon. Stefan kept a firm lip the entire time and that's how Amber knew he had heard she and Damon making out. Keeping the blush from her face proved to be quite difficult.
They all left the next day, and Amber was grateful that Damon gave her space. Taking her car over to the Lockwood mansion, she sat for a moment after she turned it off. Looking up at the huge house, she took a large breath and began up the stairs. Breaking up with someone was never easy, but she couldn't forgive Tyler trying to force her right after she'd said goodbye to her parents. She didn't want to be with a horndog like that.
Knowing it would be unlocked, she opened the door and made her way into the living room, her eyes widening as she saw something she never wanted to. Tyler and Caroline asleep in front of the fireplace, obviously naked but covered with a blanket. "Oh my God!" Amber exclaimed, shocking them both away. Tears filled her eyes as she turned and ran out, ignoring their yelled excuses.
Tires squealing, she sped her way to the only person she knew could comfort her in that moment. Sure she had been just about to break up with Tyler, but to see that?! Jerking to a stop, she ran inside, completely ignoring Stefan and Elena who jumped up at hearing her. "Amber?!" Elena cried, she and Stefan following her sobbing stomach into Damon's room.
Damon looked bewildered as he held a sobbing Amber. Looking at the confused faces of Elena and Stefan, he lifted his hand to them and made a shooing motion. "No WAY am I leaving my upset cousin with you!" Damon lifted his eyes to glare at her. "You're lucky I'm allowing you to BE here, Elena. So why don't you be a good little girl and go back to making out with your boyfriend on our expensive couches…...DOWNSTAIRS!"
Moving closer to them to push them out and close the door, Stefan looked between Amber and Damon and touched Elena's shoulder. "Come on." Seeing his girlfriend about to argue, Stefan shook his head and led her out. "But STEFAN!"
When the door closed, Damon made his way back to Amber, noticing that she was now sitting on his bed. Kneeling before her, Damon lifted her chin, his blue eyes meeting her tear filled green. "What happened?" He asked, his voice soft.
Amber explained in broken english and when Damon stood to go kill Tyler, she grabbed his hand, asking him to stay with her. Looking down at her for a moment, Damon nodded and they both lay in his bed above the covers. After a while, Amber fell asleep and Damon could hear shouting downstairs.
With his vamp speed, he was up and out of the room without ever making a sound. Tyler was trying to push his way past Stefan, looking angry because he knew Amber was here. Seeing Damon, Tyler got angrier. "She's here isn't she? I need to EXPLAIN!"
Growling, Damon pushed past his brother and punched Tyler so hard his jaw snapped and Tyler flew through their front door. Elena gasped and Stefan groaned. "Great Damon, piss off a wolf." Sneering at his brother, Damon turned back to the boy getting up and wiping his lip. "The flea bag cheated on Amber with Caroline!"
Elena shrieked and marched to Tyler, slapping him before being pulled back by Stefan. Tyler actually had the nerve to look ashamed. "You're NEVER going to come near her again, understand?" Hearing Damon's threat caused his face to fill with rage once more. "Who the hell do you think you're talking to?!"
"I'm talking to the piece of trash that broke the girl that I love." Elena blinked at Damon and glanced at Stefan to see shock on his face as well. He'd actually ADMITTED it! Tyler smirked. "All it would take is one quick bite and you're done for, Salvatore. Why should I care if you love her?"
Elena stepped forward and frowned. "Tyler, we've never been that close but I can't believe you. It's not just Damon. You WILL NOT bother Amber again." Seeing Stefan come up beside her, he sighed, knowing they had him in a corner. Tyler couldn't hurt Elena because Klaus would kill him. He could say nothing and simply walked away.
Damon unclenched his hands and turned to Stefan. "Call someone to replace the door." As he made his way to the stairs, Elena stopped him. "Are we really not going to talk about the confession you just made?!" Looking down at her, Damon rolled his eyes and removed his arm from her grasp. "Nope, and I CERTAINLY wouldn't talk about it with YOU."
Elena watched as he went up the stairs once more before turning her attention to Stefan. "Did you know about this?" Sighing, Stefan sat on the couch and held her close when she joined him. "I suspected but I didn't know how serious it was. For him to take on Tyler, knowing Tyler's bite could kill him? I didn't expect that."
Elena bit her lip and looked at the fire. "What are we going to do about this?" Shrugging, Stefan looked into the flames as well. "We'll take it one day at a time and see what happens."
(Sorry so short! Gonna try and get back into this!)
