Life as I Knew It
Chapter 3
Damon watched the rise and fall off her mother and Stefan's chest as he watched them sleep thinking one thing and one thing only. That they had to find their way out. He didn't know how they would do it, but he knew that he would have to find a way out and find one soon. He couldn't bear another second in this house of lies. Sighing he got out of his bed and quietly opened the door making sure he didn't wake up anyone in the house and slipped out of the room wondering what to do next.
Damon sat in the hallway with his head against the wall thinking about what to do for his family. He had no real money to do anything and he didn't know anyone who could smuggle them somewhere where his father couldn't find them. He put his head in his hands and groaned as he heard his door open and his mother emerged sitting down next to him.
"What's wrong, baby?"
Damon looked at her with tears in his eyes.
"I just feel like a failure. I don't want him to hurt us anymore, but I don't know what else to do."
"It's not your fault Damon. It's mine. I'm your mother and I should be protecting both of you. I'll find a way I promise."
Damon took his mother's hand as she hugged him pulling him close.
"We'll find a way together."
