It Only Hurts When I'm Breathing
Chapter 3
Elena sighed as she continued to beat herself up over the fact that Damon had seen her suicide note. How could she be so stupid and take it to school with it? She sighed again and stabbed her fork to what they called food in school. That's when Damon sat down next to her with a concerned look on his face. She wished that he would stop gawking at her.
"What do I owe this lovely little visit?"
"Are we seriously going to ignore the fact that I saw your suicide note?"
"Keep your voice down. I'm already a huge freak here. I don't need to give them another reason to torment me."
"I'm sorry. I just want to know what's making your life so bad that you have to turn to this method to end it."
"You don't know me so stop treating me like you do."
Elena sat up but Damon caught her arm and sat her back down.
"What do you want?"
"I want to show you that life can be more than what you think it is. It does get better just wait and see."
"Okay say if I went along with your little plan. What's in it for me?"
"How about I make you a little deal. You give me two months to prove that your life can improve and if I'm right you won't go through with this crazy suicide mission."
"And what happens if you don't?"
"Then I will help you carry out this crazy suicide idea of yours."
"You seriously mean that?"
"I do."
"Fine. It's a deal then, because I know that it won't get any better than this."
Damon laughed and Elena looked at him as if he was crazy.
"What's so funny?"
"It's funny, because I know it will work."
Elena smiled at him. He sure was cocky for a guy who barely just met her.
"I guess we'll just have to wait and see then."
"I guess we will."
