Ok! So big things huh? I got a question as to why Rebekah is so Anti-Alex. Well, unlike Klaus, Rebekah doesn't see Alex as her sister. She's merely a copy, and not as good as the Original. You have to remember that Alissa was not just Klaus' sister, but Rebekah's as well.

Season 3 Episode 6 Smells Like Teen Spirit (Part 1)

"You're telling me that you want to learn how to fight vampires?" I asked Elena. She had made herself comfortable in my bedroom, my mom gladly letting her inside, much to my disdain. I hadn't even gotten out of the shower when she showed up. Now, she was telling me that she wanted me to teach her how to fight vampires. To say I was surprised was an understatement.

"Yes." Elena replied seriously. "Stefan hurt me. I'm not going to let that happen again."

I took the towel out of my hair, letting the locks fall down my back and dampen my shirt. I knew exactly how she felt. After my run in with Katherine I felt the same. I went to John, and now Elena was coming to me. It felt wrong to turn her away, regardless of our past. She had every right to feel in charge of her own life as I did. I turned, leaning against my dresser. I met her gaze, seeing the determination in them. It resembled the same determination that I had when I wanted to learn. What could it hurt?

"Ok." I said. Elena smiled really wide. "But listen, we have to get some meat on those bones."

She looked down to her skinny arms then back up to me.

"You are like the same size as me." Elena said, looking me over. I chuckled, grabbing her arm. I pulled her effortlessly to me and spun her around, putting her in a headlock. She fought against me, but she wasn't strong enough to push me off. I let her go after a minute or two.

"It's going to take a while, but you will get it." I said, as she tried to untangle her hair. "You can come to some training sessions that I have with Jace."

"Isn't that like some sacred thing between you two?" She asked. I looked at her confused. "I mean, that's your thing. I don't want to intrude."

"Elena." I said with a smile. "I'm inviting you to come. You're not intruding."

Elena broke out in a large smile, and I guessed the idea that I was actually going to help her and that I was being nice to her made her happy. I smiled myself. Things were slowly getting back to normal, and by normal I mean chaotic. But, Elena had every right to learn how to protect herself, and I wasn't going to take that away from her.

"So, what is going on with you and Jace anyway?" Elena asked. I furrowed my brows. "I mean, you guys hang out a lot."

"Well, we train a lot." I replied. "And then we see each other at work. I don't know, I guess we just enjoy each other's company."

Elena nodded, and there was something in her expression that I couldn't put down to a specific emotion. Instead of asking, I just let it go. I dressed for training, Elena dressed in about the same manor. Black tank tops and tight leggings were the customary look when training. Jace came by and we went to our special spot.

Jace did most of the talking, telling Elena about different weapons and how to use them. I worked on my hand to hand training, pretending the manikin was Klaus. The loss of my stake was messing with me. I wasn't used to not having it with me at all times. In a way, I thought it was my good luck charm. It had saved my ass or at least bought me some time more than once. Then there was the fact that John had given it to me. He spent time carving it out, and now it was gone.

"It's not working." Elena said, punching a practice dummy with her stake sleeve. The pressure of her punch was supposed to release two stakes into the dummy, but it indeed was not working. "It must be jammed."

"You're not strong enough." Jace said. Elena turned slowly, giving him a glare. "What? It takes practice Elena. Just keep trying."

Elena tried a few more times, but again it didn't work. She huffed, pulling the sleeve off and tossing it to the ground like a child. I picked it up, slipping it on. I could feel Elena's eyes on me as I took the right punching stance. With a quick reflex and hard punch, the stakes came out of the sleeve and into the center of the dummy.

"Show off." Elena muttered. I rolled my eyes. "How do you do that?"

"Like I said, you have to get some meat on those bones." I replied. She looked down defeated. Jace stared at me and when I met his gaze he gestured to Elena. I huffed. "Hey, look at me."

Elena looked up and met my gaze.

"You're going to get this." I said. "It just going to take some time. But you will get better."

Elena grinned slowly. She then went back to our wide array of weapons and chose the next one to use. Jace smiled at me, and I just rolled my eyes. Training with Elena was not hanging out with her. It wasn't as if we were friends again just because I agreed to help her. It was merely, me trying to help a fellow woman who deserved to be able to protect herself from her psychotic vampire boyfriend. This did not mean we were ok again.

"This is nice of you." Jace commented. I shrugged. "No really. It's very kind of you considering..."

"I know how she feels." I told him. He looked at me confused. "After that incident with Katherine…"

Jace tensed next to me. I knew he felt guilty about ever being involved in Katherine's little plot to have my friends handed over to Klaus for slaughter. He had since made up for it, but I knew that he still hated that he was ever a part of Katherine's plans.

"I was terrified." I continued, making him relax a little. "I went to the one person I never thought I would go to for help."

"And now you are a bad ass vampire hunter." Jace said, making me roll my eyes. "Kinda hot."

I felt my face heat up as a blush formed on my cheeks. I could see Jace blushing out of the corner of my eye too, but he was playing it off with a big smile. My pulse picked up speed, and I could hear it in my ears.

"You're so weird." I said, nudging him playfully. He laughed nervously and I took that as my cue to give him some space.

This wasn't the first time Jace had hit on me. I use that word loosely because when Jace first started flirting with me, that was all because Katherine told him to. After we became friends, he stopped doing so, at least for the most part. Jace complimented me, and usually those were just friendly. However, just then… I didn't think that was just a normal compliment. This seemed different…

Who was I kidding? Jace was my best friend. There was nothing behind that comment besides friendly banter. Jace was my friend and that was it. Nothing more.

"This thing is jammed again!" Elena yelled, trying to release the stakes into our practice dummy. I rolled my eyes, going to go help her.

The next day was a day I had been dreading all summer. The first day. It seemed like only yesterday that we had started junior year, and now… now I was a senior. I wasn't a kid anymore, after this year I would hopefully be going off to college, officially an adult. I shivered at the thought. It had been a year of ups and downs, and honestly I was afraid of what this year could hold as well.

I had just come out of the shower and walked back into my room when I saw that someone was inside of it. The dark haired vampire that I should have been used to invading my privacy, was standing in the middle of my bedroom as per usual.

"What the hell?" I hissed, causing him to laugh. "You scared me!"

"You're just too jumpy." He said, eyeing me in my robe. "That looks good on you."

"Thank you." I said, doing a little turn. He had bought the black, silk robe for me over the summer. At first I had protested, but then I remembered that Damon had been on this Earth for over 100 years. He had more than enough funds to provide it for me.

"No really." Damon said, stopping my spinning by catching me by the hips. He was mere inches from my face. "You look… sexy."

I blushed brightly. Damon thinking that I was pretty was one thing, but every time he called me something that had to do with intimacy, my hormones went all out of whack. This man would be the death of me, I swear it.

"What are you wearing today?" He asked casually. He took his hands off my hips and my body protested against the loss of contact. I watched him make his way across my small room in two strides and he was then rifling through my closet. Most of the stuff was new, because Damon was much more concerned about my wardrobe then I was. Some of the stuff even had tags on them.

"I don't know." I replied with a shrug. I hadn't put much thought into it. "Probably jeans."

"You should wear this." He said, pulling out a tight black dress that was much too dressy for the first day of school. The tag was still on it, and I had only gotten it because Damon was so persistent on me getting it. The dress was tight around every part of my body, and it barely came down to my mid-thigh, and had no straps. I understood now why Damon wanted me to get it so bad.

"I still can't believe you convinced me to get this." I said, pushing past him and putting the dress back to the back of my closet. I probably would never wear it. Although my self-esteem had gone up recently, I still wasn't into showing too much skin.

"I'm very convincing." Damon replied with a wink. I rolled my eyes, closing my closet from his eyes. "You nervous about your first day?"

I shrugged, moving to sit on my bed. Damon followed suit, lounging down on it and pulling me into his side. I took a deep breath, his scent so intoxicating that I could feel myself becoming dizzy.

"I guess it wouldn't be so bad if Stefan wasn't hanging around." I replied, playing with a button on Damon's shirt. "He's not the same with his emotions turned off."

"None of us are." Damon replied, referring to all vampires. "He has no remorse, and his love to kill is now even higher."

I shivered a bit. I knew that none of us were in danger, because Stefan's sole purpose of being here was to keep Elena safe. However, the idea of him even being around her… it sent a pang of anxiety through me.

"Do you think Klaus will come back?" I asked, looking up. I could see Damon swallow visibly.

"Probably." He replied. "He needs Elena to create more hybrids. I don't think this Mikael guy is going to keep Klaus away for long. Besides, he left Rebekah here."

"He what?" I asked, thinking about the blonde vampire that had made her dislike for me very clear. Klaus may have had an attachment to me, but Rebekah obviously had none.

"He left blondie here and now she's staying at the house." He explained. I sat up, staring at him with narrowed eyes. "Hey, I told her to get lost."

I huffed, thinking of how pretty Rebekah was. She was strong and fast, her beauty beyond compare. The thought of her living in the same house as Damon made my skin crawl. Then I thought of Jace.

"Oh God…" I sat, shooting up. "Damon, what about Jace? Stefan and Rebekah could-"

"He's safe." Damon replied. "He stayed at Elena's last night. But, I'm not sure how long that will work…"

"He can stay here." I said, reaching over Damon to grab my phone. "I'll just have to move our storage out of the basement-"

"I don't want him staying here." Damon said. I pulled back, staring at Damon with furrowed brows. Whatever reasoning behind Damon's opinion of Jace staying at my house was beyond me.

"I don't think that's your decision…" I said standing up. Damon was still laying on my bed, but his expression changed. "In fact, you don't have any say in the matter."

"I'm your boyfriend." Damon said, as if I didn't know what he was to me. "And I don't want him staying here."

His tone was serious, and it reminded me of the possessive Damon that I first met. Damon had always been bossy, and very determined to get what he wanted. I usually listened to what he said and obeyed, but this time, this was different. Jace was my best friend, and I wasn't going to have him staying at a house with two evil vampires and one who didn't want him to be there in the first place.

"What is this about?" I asked. Damon scoffed. "Please, enlighten me on why my best friend is not allowed to stay at my house until the two psychotic vampires vacate the premises?"

"You really don't know?" Damon asked. He was standing now. I crossed my arms over my chest. "I didn't think you were that naïve."

"So now you're insulting me." I said. This conversation had started off good, great even, considering we had just made up after a huge fight. Now, he was insulting my intelligence and calling me naïve.

"I'm not calling you stupid Alex." Damon replied, as if he had read my mind. "You're just… blind."

"Blind?" I asked, my hands going to my hips. "How am I blind?"

I didn't see anything wrong with Jace staying over. He had done it before, well only for one night, but Damon hadn't said anything then! Granted, he wasn't in town to protest… but still none of this made sense!

"He likes you." Damon said, as if the answer was quite obvious. I squinted. "He's liked you from the start. How can you not see that?"

I opened my mouth to protest, but closed it soon after. Jace did not like me, he couldn't. We were friends that was it. To think that he would even think about feeling different made my skin crawl. We were friends and that was all.

"Now I think you're crazy." I said, trying to laugh it off. Damon was a jealous person, and now his obsessive jealousy was making him see things. Poor guy.

"I'm not crazy." Damon replied, shaking his head. "Everyone can see it but you."

I shook my head. I went to go grab my clothes so I could get dressed, but Damon stopped me, his hands placed firmly on my upper arms. He was staring at me with so much intensity, I couldn't look away.

"Is it so wrong for me to worry about my girlfriend having a guy that is in love with her over at her house?" He asked. "That guy not being me."

"Damon, I told you." I said. "Jace is my best friend. Nothing else."

"Maybe not to you." Damon muttered. "But he wants more."

I shook my head. The idea of Jace and I… it just wasn't right. Damon and I, that made sense to me. Maybe because I loved Damon, and that love was romantic. My love for Jace was purely platonic.

A sudden beep outside alerted us both that someone was outside of my house.

"Is that him now?" Damon asked, sounding angry. I knew that look in his eye. I looked out the window, seeing Caroline's car and not Jace's truck, thankfully. I turned back to Damon.

"No, it's Caroline." I said, taking off my robe. I could feel him watching me as I got dressed. "You seriously need to calm down."

"I need to calm down?" Damon repeated me. I pulled on my shirt and went to walk out the door. He caught my arm. "Hey, I'm not done talking to you."

I wrenched my arm from his grasp, turning to glare at him.

"Well I'm done talking to you." I replied. He let me go, but I knew he didn't have to. He could have caught me with ease, making me late on my first day. But he didn't. He let me go, but I could feel him watching me as I climbed into Caroline's car. She gave me a sympathetic look, she had heard everything.

"Alex-"

"Just drive." I ordered.

"But-"

"Drive!"

Caroline was pretty quiet, although I could tell she was itching to ask what the hell was going on. I wasn't in the mood to talk. Jace was my best friend… he couldn't… like me. That was just wrong. Me and Jace… it just didn't sound right. It didn't feel right.

And then there was Damon. Even if he was right and Jace did like me more than a friend, where did Damon get the idea that he could ever tell me what to do? Just because he didn't like him, didn't mean that I couldn't offer my home to Jace when he needed it.

"Hey." Caroline said, getting my attention. We were parked out in front of the school. "We have a guest room and I'm sure my mom wouldn't mind if-"

"No." I replied curtly. Caroline shut her mouth. "No. Just because Damon doesn't want him there, doesn't mean that I'm just going to lay down and take it."

"I don't mean that." Caroline replied. "I'm proud of you for sticking up for yourself."

I could tell that the sentence was unfinished.

"But?" I asked. She sighed.

"I don't think it's worth the fight." Caroline replied. "I mean put yourself in his shoes? If Katherine needed a place to stay and Damon offered, wouldn't you be pissed?"

"Well yeah." I replied. If that were the case, I would have smoke coming out of my ears. "But, this is different."

"How so?" Caroline asked.

"First of all, because I never dated Jace." I replied. "And second, he's not a psychopathic vampire bitch."

How could anyone compare my relationship with Jace to Damon and Katherine's? There was no comparison because there was no romantic feelings between Jace and I. Katherine and Damon… their relationship was messed up. And Katherine, she was a complete maniac, of course I wouldn't want Damon around her.

"Besides that." Caroline said. "Don't you just… get a little jealous sometimes? When people look at Damon and you know what they are thinking?"

She had a point there. Besides obvious reasons, Katherine was beautiful. She was confident and she was clever. That was enough to make me want her to stay away. I thought back to Rebekah who was now staying under the same roof as Damon. Even though the two had no history, it still bothered me that such a beautiful woman was within spitting distance of him. Not that I didn't trust Damon, but I still didn't want her around him.

"So…" I began. "You think… Damon's threatened by Jace?"

Caroline shrugged but she nodded as she did so. That was ridiculous! I loved them both, but in two very different ways. Jace was a brother to me, a companion, and a friend. For Damon… he was my whole world. I would die for him, do anything I could just to make him happy. Then why wasn't I thinking of his feelings?

"You sure your mom wouldn't mind?" I asked. Caroline grinned nodding her head. I sighed, and thanked her before we got out of the car. I shouldn't have been fighting about this. All that mattered was that Jace was safe, and he was safe with Caroline. Now, I just had to talk to Damon…

When I imagined my first day of senior year, I never imagined it to be like this. Elena was in a slump, because today was technically a year since she had met Stefan, and I couldn't help but feel bad for her.

"You're coming to the bonfire tonight right?" Bonnie asked me. I shrugged. "Come on, you have to go."

"I'm not really in the party mood." I replied, grabbing my history book. I was more interested in fixing my relationship then going to a party.

"Maybe it will be fun." She said hopefully. I forced a smile. I probably wouldn't go, but I would humor her until then. Both Bonnie and I turned around just in time to see Elena coming out of the bathroom, running smack dab into Stefan Salvatore. I felt my gut wrench and before I could even think I was moving to her side.

"Hello Alex." Stefan said, looking at the way I was shielding Elena behind me. "Come on, you know I have no desire to hurt her."

"You can never be too careful." I replied with narrow eyes. He smirked. This Stefan reminded me of how Damon was when I first met him. Cocky, mean, everything that Stefan wasn't.

"What are you doing here?" Elena asked. I could tell that she was struggling with Stefan's new demeanor. Even though I knew that this was all Klaus' fault, I couldn't help but be angry with this new Stefan.

"What do you mean? I'm going back to school." Stefan replied. "Go Timberwolves!"

"Why?" Elena asked. There was no reason for Stefan to be here.

"Klaus wants me to keep an eye on you." Stefan said to Elena. I narrowed my eyes. "I'm just doing what I'm told."

"That's ok." I said, standing even more in front of Elena. "I've got that covered."

Stefan chuckled, making my temper flare.

"If you had it covered then why would Klaus leave me behind to do your job?" Stefan asked. I glared. "Looks like Klaus isn't as confident with your skills."

"You know I can stab you right here right now." I threatened him. Stefan narrowed his eyes. "I'll make sure it hurts."

"You don't scare me Alex." Stefan replied. He took a step forward so he was only inches away from her. "In fact you are the least scary person in this school, besides vulnerable little Elena here."

I could feel her tense behind me. I gripped her even tighter.

"You should be afraid." I said in a low voice. Stefan smirked at me. "I will end you."

Stefan's smirk fell and it was replaced with a glare. I glared back at him for about a minute before I took Elena and started to lead her toward Alaric's classroom. However, I was halted when Elena stopped mid step. I turned to see Stefan now had a hold of her arm. I sped up in front of him.

"Let her go." I ordered. Elena was struggling to get out of Stefan's grasp, but he wasn't letting go. I pulled out a stake from my backpack, pushing the tip into Stefan's stomach. He met my gaze, daring me to stab the wood into him.

"You won't do it." Stefan said. I scoffed, pushing it into his stomach harder. He winced.

"I told you Stefan." I said, not releasing the pressure from my stake. "I will end you. Now, let her go."

There was a second of intense silence before he did as I asked. He never looked at Elena, he continued to glare at me. I quickly, grabbed Elena's hand and started to quickly make my way toward Alaric's classroom.

"See you in history!" Stefan called to us. I felt a shiver go up my spine, but I didn't turn around, and I didn't slow down. I pushed her into an empty classroom nearby, closing the door.

"Are you ok?" I asked her, looking her over. He hadn't harmed her, not even a bruise. "God, I could kill him."

"I'm fine, Alex." Elena said. "Are you ok?"

"Don't worry about me." I told her, looking out the door to see if Stefan had followed us. I wouldn't hesitate to stab this stake through him if he had.

"He could have killed you." Elena said gravely. I met her gaze. "You have to be more careful."

I furrowed my brows.

"He threatened us first." I told her. She made a face. "Elena, he's not the Stefan you love."

"I know." She replied sadly. "But… the real Stefan is in there somewhere. We just have to get him out."

I opened my mouth but then closed it. She was right. Klaus had done this. This was all Klaus' fault.

"We're going to be late." Elena said. I nodded, following her out of the classroom and into Alaric's classroom. He gave me a small smile and I forced one back to him. I was still a little thrown off by this whole my mom is dating my teacher thing. I saw Caroline first, Jace was sitting next to her. He smiled at me and I shot him a look that told him something was wrong. Then I saw Bonnie, even Tyler and then Stefan. He smiled at both Elena and I, gesturing to the two empty seats nearest him. I huffed, following her so that I could sit down. Stefan was on one side of her, and I was on the other side. Elena was definitely the safest person in here.

"Welcome back, seniors." Alaric said, getting our attention. "Let's turn our brains back on, starting with this country's original founders...the Native Americans."

"What about the Vikings?"

Everyone in the class looked to the classroom door. I felt my stomach drop when I saw who it was.

"There's no evidence that Viking explorers actually settled in the United States." Alaric said confused. "Who are you?"

"My name's Rebekah. I'm new." The blonde vampire said as she took a seat. "And history's my favorite subject."

I turned back to look at her, not able to hide my shock at the fact she was in my school, let alone my history class. She caught my gaze and winked at me before she turned her attention back to the blackboard. I slumped in my seat. If I didn't already have enough to deal with, now I had to deal with two psychopaths in my class.

This was going to be an interesting year…

After school, I made sure Elena was ok before I headed over to the boarding house. Caroline texted me and said that Rebekah was at cheerleading practice, so I knew that the house would be safe. I hoped that he was home. I really needed to talk to him. I had to… fix this. Fix us.

"Hey."

I turned, seeing Jace standing right behind me. I bit my bottom lip.

"Hi." I replied. He furrowed his brows.

"Everything ok?" He asked. I started to nod, but then I shook my head. "What's wrong?"

"I have to cancel training today." I told him. He stared at me shocked. "I have some… business to take care of."

I hated cancelling training, but Jace would be fine without me. He was doing most of the teaching anyway. He could survive without me this one time.

"Is it Damon business?" Jace asked. I widened my gaze. "Caroline told me you were fighting."

"Leave it to her to keep a secret." I mumbled. "Listen, I just have to fix something ok?"

"It's fine." Jace replied. I gave him a look. "Seriously. Go fix it."

I paused and then got a big grin on my face. I launched myself into his arms, giving him a tight hug. Damon had nothing to worry about. If Jace wanted me all to himself, he wouldn't have been so cool about me ditching him to go and fix my relationship. I knew that there was nothing to worry about.

"You're the best." I said into his shoulder. I pulled back, to see him grinning from ear to ear. "See you later?"

"Later." He replied. I smiled, running off to go find Damon.

He watched her go, frowning as she did. How could he just let her go like that? If he really cared, he should have stopped her. He should have told her how he felt. But seeing her face light up when he told her to go… that was better than anything he could have imagined. Who was he to try and mess up her happiness? She loved Damon, and that wasn't going to change.

They were fighting about you.

Caroline's words were echoing through Jace's mind. When Caroline told him about the fight, he had wondered what it had been about. The two had been arguing a lot lately it seemed. It could have been anything, however, then Caroline went to explain that it was indeed about Jace.

"He thinks you like her." Caroline said, then met his gaze. "More than a friend."

Jace had tensed, but tried not to show it. However, Caroline caught his fast beating heart and she gave him a look.

"I don't like Damon." Caroline told him. "Like, at all."

Jace nodded. He wasn't particularly fond of the vampire either, especially since Damon had the girl. But, Damon had been there to save his ass a couple times, so Jace couldn't really do anything about it.

"But he's good to her." Caroline continued. "And she's good for him."

Jace nodded again, but Caroline caught his gaze with an intense look.

"Don't mess this up for her."

When I entered the house I called out to him. I received no answer so I started to look. Upon inspection of the house, I found that it was empty. I huffed, going to the study to find a book to occupy my time until he got there. I rifled through the shelves, not finding anything that peaked my interest or that I hadn't read. I huffed, where was he?

"You know, breaking and entering is against the law."

I turned and saw him leaning against the doorframe. I was smiling, but it fell when I saw his face. He didn't look happy to see me at all. I cleared my throat, remembering that we didn't leave things on the best of terms.

"It's not breaking and entering if the door is never locked." I said, trying to lighten the mood. He continued to frown. "Stefan's back at school."

"Great." Damon said flatly. Then he met my gaze. "Did he hurt you?"

"No." I shook my head. "We threatened each other a little, but nothing transpired."

Damon nodded, glaring down at the floor again. I swallowed. I imagined this would go much smoother. I took a step forward. Why was I so afraid? This was Damon, the man I loved. He was the man who held my heart in his hand… why couldn't I just grow up and fix this?

"Don't you have training today?" Damon asked before I could speak. I met his gaze. "You're late."

"I told Jace I couldn't come." I told him. Damon seemed surprised by this, but he masked it.

"You ditched him?" Damon asked. I shook my head.

"I wouldn't call it ditching." I replied. "I just had… more important things to do."

I couldn't stop the acceleration of my heartbeat when I saw the smirk appear on his face. This was the Damon I knew. This was the Damon I loved. I then took a few steps closer to him, but he did not move. He stayed leaning against the door frame.

"I didn't like that fight." I told him. He swallowed visibly.

"I didn't either." He replied, meeting my gaze. His blue eyes were especially intense today, and I found myself being drawn to him. I took his hand in mine, linking our fingers. They intertwined perfectly, as if they were made for one another.

"I love you." I told him in a soft whisper. He squeezed my hand. "There's no one else."

Damon stared at me for a long time, and I was beginning to wonder if I had said something wrong. However, this theory was soon shot down by the fact that in a split second I was pushed up against a wall and his lips were on mine. It took me a few seconds to process his movements, the way his mouth was moving, how his hands were everywhere leaving no place untouched. I was off my feet, and I found my legs wrapped around his torso to keep myself from falling. But the way he had me pushed against the wall prove that he would not allow me to fall.

I tangled one hand into his hair, bringing his face closer to mine, and the other was trailing down his chest. I wanted nothing more than for the offending article to be gone. Damon must have felt the same, because he soon dropped me to my feet so that he could pull the t-shirt over his head. I bit my bottom lip, letting my hands trail down his chest and abs. I could never get used to the beautiful physic he had or how his face rivaled that of a gods. He was just, so beautiful.

"Take it off." He ordered in a low voice. I didn't even have to have him elaborate. I peeled off my shirt and let it fall to the floor. Our pants soon followed, along with undergarments. We didn't even make it to his room, or even the couch in the study. The floor was just fine, and after we finished, I found that it was more comfortable then I thought it would be.

I was laying on his arm, and he was stroking my hair. Neither of us spoke for a long while, but it was ok. The silence was relaxing and it showed me that we didn't need words to understand one another. We were ok.

"Jace is staying with Caroline." I told him after a while. He didn't reply. "I'm sorry for making you upset earlier. I didn't mean it."

"I know." He said, his hand stilling on my hair. "And… I know he's your best friend."

I looked up and met his gaze. He was serious, and I could tell that he understood the love I had for Jace was purely platonic. He understood that Jace was important to me, but he also knew that he was the most important person to me. He knew that he was the only one in my heart, and that was all that mattered.

"I just hate sharing you." Damon said with a smile. I smirked leaning up to place a firm kiss to his lips before I settled back into his side.

"I'm going to make more time for you." I said, burying my face into his chest and taking a deep breath. "I promise."

"You better." Damon joked, causing me to chuckle.

There was a long pause before Damon sat up quickly. He sped over to our pile of clothes, shuffling through it before he threw my shirt at me. I stared up at him confused.

"Damon what-"

"Oh my God!"

I turned to the door just in time to see Elena poke her head in before she turned around. I felt my face heat up and now understood why Damon was so quick to get dressed. He was just buttoning up his pants, as if the idea of Elena walking in on us wasn't what he was worried about.

"Any reason why you are barging into my house without at least calling first?" Damon asked, sounding a bit agitated. I assumed that was because of what Damon and I had just been in the middle of.

"I'm sorry!" Elena squeaked, her back still to us. "I just… we are having a meeting."

"A meeting?" I asked, pulling my shirt over my head. "What meeting?"

"In Alaric's classroom." Elena said before she turned around slowly. "We are getting Stefan."

Damon and I shared a confused look.

"Tonight."
