Before the Sun Sets
CHAPTER 28 ~ Happy Halloween
I DO NOT OWN THE VAMPIRE DIARIES
Halloween, one of the best times of the year. In all honest, Halloween was a time that Maddie actually did enjoy. It was really because of the Halloween party, which led to costume shopping. She liked going as something different every year. She also found these parties to be better than regular Mystic Falls house parties, where people just got drunk and acted like fools. This year the party she was going to would be held at Kimberly Westfield's house. Maddie had no problem going over to Kim's, she knew her well. When Maddie was a freshman and played basketball she had been on the team. Kim continued playing, but Maddie didn't have a huge passion for it, she enjoyed it, but just wasn't in love with it. They also happened to play field hockey together, which is why Maddie was one of the first to know about the party.
To no one's surprise, Caroline was excited for the party as well, especially after the disastrous birthday party she had. Considering everything that had happened, Maddie was willingly letting Caroline drag her costume shopping, she wanted to try help keep Caroline's mind off of the fact that her boyfriend had bitten her and then Klaus saved her. It was Klaus' fault after all, but Maddie was just grateful to him for saving Caroline's life.
"So what were you thinking of going as?" Caroline asked Maddie. Maddie who had decided to drive had found a parking space to pull into.
"No clue."
"I'll find you something."
Maddie grinned as the two began to get out of the car, "I have no doubt about that."
The minute they walked through the door, they were welcomed with an assortment of costume accessories. They ranged from face masks, to bunny ears to face masks and makeup kits. Maddie was going to go and take a look. However Caroline grabbed her wrist and pulled her into another direction.
"What are you doing?" Maddie wondered, "For your costume."
"Well," Caroline began taking her over to some costumes. "I wanted to do something Tyler, you know a cute couples outfit, but I'm going solo officially."
"Is he going?"
"I doubt it," Caroline rummaged through outfits, not looking at Maddie. "Anyway, I know how to have fun without him."
"Glad to hear it." Maddie began looking through different sets of costumes. She picked up a devil costume.
"You're not going as a devil!" Caroline snapped.
"Why not?"
"Because … just no!" Caroline snapped.
"Well what do you want me to go as?"
Caroline's response came quickly, "Something sexy! You got a hot body on you, show it off!"
"What, have you been talking to Cordelia?" Maddie joked.
"Just a little."
"Well thanks for the compliment, but I won't be dressing as a stripper."
"Who said anything about a stripper?" Caroline was still rummaging through costumes. Maddie just watched her. "You can always go as a character and just make it sexy. Like this," she held up a maid costume.
Maddie glanced over it, "It's cute, but I can see you in it more than I can see myself."
Caroline analyzed it, "Maybe. Well I will definitely be trying this on."
"Right," Maddie looked around. "So, who else is going to the party?"
"Bonnie and Elena aren't coming." Maddie let out a small sigh of relief. She just wanted to enjoy herself. Knowing Elena wouldn't be there, she didn't have to worry as much about someone ending up dead. "I want to say the whole cheer team is going, I know Katie definitely is."
"Aw, what's she going as?"
"Not sure since she's being all hush hush about it." Caroline smirked, which caused Maddie to smirk back.
"I'll be back, I am going to go take a look at the accessories."
Caroline looked at her and protested, "But you haven't even picked out a costume!"
"I know, but maybe I'll find something that I like over there."
Caroline frowned, "Whatever."
"Love you too," Maddie called as she walked away. Going towards the accessories she found herself looking through a bunch of stuff that she knew she wasn't the slightest bit interested in. Eventually she came across something. A pair of angel wings. Grinning she picked them up, looking them over. They were absolutely perfect. She had the urge to try them on. It wasn't like they were packaged or anything. Looking around she didn't see anyone around. She went over by a mirror and but her stuff down at her feet. Figuring out how to put them on she did and grinned, looking at her reflection in the mirror with them on. She was in love. Looking at them smiling, she kept making funny faces and imaging herself in them with a Halloween costume. She was completely lost in la la land. She heard the sound of someone coughing and looked at Caroline through the mirror.
"Having fun?"
"Found my costume," Maddie said with a shrug, but nonetheless she had a grin spread across her face.
"So, I was thinking about doing winter track."
"Track?!" Cordelia raised her eyebrows. "That's different."
"Yeah, Coach Jay was trying to sell me on it, and it's not like I have anything better to do."
"Besides worrying about getting into college and working on some scholarships."
Maddie chuckled, "Exactly."
"So I was talking to dad the other night, and he might have mentioned that you're not really happy with him. Might I ask why?"
"He's making me retake the ACT exam."
"Ah."
"I mean I got a good score."
"Just not good enough right?" Cordelia said with understanding.
"Exactly."
"You know, you'll be mad at him but when you're in college you'll laugh about it."
"Are you laughing about it?"
"Yeah, but he'll be off your back in a little while."
Maddie was now curious, "And why is that?"
"Because Halloween is coming up," there was a glint in Cordelia's eyes suddenly, "and when he see's my costume, which I know he eventually will, he's gonna be too busy yelling at me to worry about you, that much."
"And what my dear sister, are you planning on going as?"
"I don't know," she said honestly. "But we're having a huge party and I wanna go as something fun. Some of my friends and I are going to check out a costume store this weekend."
"And Nathan? What does he have to say?"
"Nathan will be speechless when he finally see's me." Maddie laughed, "Now, tell me why do you have spray paint bottles?" She asked, nodding towards the bottles standing tall.
"Well you see, I got this idea to change up my costume a bit."
"Yeah?" Maddie spoke picking up her phone. She quickly put it on speaker before finishing up her makeup.
"What are you doing?"
"Putting on mascara, why?"
"Well," began Damon, "Bonnie and Elena went off in search for Abby."
"Abby?"
"Bonnie's mom."
Maddie almost dropped the bottle of mascara that was in her hand, she made sure to tighten her grip. It was awhile before she actually said anything, "You're kidding," she was finally able to say.
"Nope."
"What made Bonnie want to find her?"
"Something to do with Klaus and the coffins."
"Right." She didn't really know what to say. It wasn't like she and Bonnie were close, they barely even acknowledged one another. "So, not that I don't love your phone calls but what do you want?"
"I wanna know what you're doing tonight."
"I'm going to a Halloween party with Caroline." She spoke as Lucy trotted into her bedroom. She smiled at the puppy.
"And you're dressing as … " Damon spoke, taking her attention away from Lucy.
"That's for me to know and you to dot dot dot."
"Right, so I guess there is no possibility of you going out with me tonight."
"No, but maybe Stefan is free. Some brotherly bonding might do you well."
"You're kidding me right?"
Maddie couldn't help but start chuckling, "Yes Damon I am kidding. As sad as it is to admit I think your brotherhood is over, at least while Klaus is still a problem."
"Oh, so you admit he's a problem?"
"For you and Stefan."
"Oh he's a problem for you too, especially since he's holding your boo thang." she rolled her eyes, "oops, I mean, since he's holding his brother Elijah captive. Who also happens to be your boo thang."
She fought it but in the end she couldn't help laugh, "Please don't ever call Elijah that again."
"Why, you didn't like it?"
"Nah."
"Right, he's all proper so you need something more sophisticated. Your sweetheart will do."
"Goodbye Damon."
"Have fun tonight."
She smiled, "Thanks." Giving herself a once over, she smiled, satisfied with what she saw. She was still in a bathrobe from her shower. Her parents were out, at a couples Halloween party that was being hosted by one of her moms co-workers. She was glad considering now she didn't have to worry about running into her dad on the way out. Besides she could always go in the house through the backdoor. She doubted that would actually happen though. Coming to a stand, Maddie walked over to her bed where her costume was spread out, her high heels were to the side. While she had planned on going as an angel she had decided to change it up a bit. Instead of going all white she had decided to change it and go black. She wasn't really sure why she did it, nonetheless she loved the end result. It gave her a good girl gone bad vibe. She slipped into her skirt first, it cut off before her knees. It was short, but not too short. It was just something her dad wouldn't approve of. Her top was black. It was also sleeves, had a scoop neck and lace. It was also something she found in Cordelia's room, but her sister didn't need to know that … at least not right now.
Taking a look at herself in the mirror, she smiled. She had to admit, she looked good. All that was left were the angel wings. She wasn't going to actually put them on yet, not until she got there since she knew that they'd be uncomfortable to drive in. Looking at her cell phone, she saw that it was only seven, she had some time before she had to go get Caroline. Sitting down at her laptop, she could see her sister was online for video chat so she called her. Talking to Cordelia was always a good pass time.
The first thing she said when she accepted Maddie's video chat call was, "SLAY SISTER!"
Maddie chuckled as she stood up, so her sister could see the whole outfit. "Is it too much?"
"NO!" Snapped Cordelia, she could tell Maddie was self conscious and she had no reason to be. She looked amazing. "And don't you dare think about changing, you look amazing." She smiled shyly which her sister most definitely took note of, "Don't get all shy now, SLAY!"
"I don't usually go this," she was searching for the right word, "risque."
"Which is why it's so perfect. Where is mom? She'd love this oh my god! I have to see her face, call her up!"
"Mom's not here?"
"You're going to leave the house like that with just dad home?"
"Absolutely not!" Maddie couldn't imagine. "They're at a couples costume party."
"What did they go as?"
"Mom went as a police officer and dad went as a doughnut."
Cordelia stared at her sister, a blank face. As what Maddie said processed, Cordelia busted out laughing. She even started crying. "Are you kidding?! You're kidding! Maddie! Oh my god, you have to send me pictures!" Maddie smirked, reaching for her phone and sent her sister a photo. The minute Cordelia looked at it she went back to laughing. "This is priceless. I don't know why mom, who happens to the Facebook queen didn't post it yet."
"Probably for suspense."
"Those damn parents," she chuckled. "Where is Lucy?"
"I think she went back into your room." Lucy was accustomed to going anywhere in the house. Sometimes she slept in Maddie's room at the foot of her bed, sometimes she slept in Cordelia's. Maddie had even caught her coming out of their parents room early in the morning but she didn't say anything. She knew that they had grown to love Lucy as much as Cordelia and Maddie.
"How is she?"
"She's good. I'm sure she misses you."
Cordelia grinned, "I mean how can you not miss me when I'm gone? I'm fabulous."
"Okay," Maddie rolled her eyes but couldn't help smile.
"So, what time are you leaving?"
"When Caroline and I talked about it yesterday she told me to be at her house around 8ish."
"Perfect, plenty of time to curl your hair."
"Why should I curl it?"
"Because I said so." Maddie rolled her eyes, she was about to argue when her door bell sounded, causing her to frown. Cordelia asked, "Who's that?"
"No idea."
"Were you expecting someone?"
"No."
"Maybe it's Damon."
Maddie almost laughed as she got up, "Damon doesn't ring doorbells. He just walks in or comes through my window."
"You should vervain it."
That caused her to actually laugh, "I'll be back."
"Take your phone! If you aren't back in three minutes, I'm calling Damon to find you."
"Thanks for being concerned," she replied to her sister, leaving her bedroom and heading downstairs. She looked through the peephole and after seeing who it was, she opened the door. "Hey Katie?" Maddie frowned, but couldn't help smile at seeing her friend. "What're you doing here? I thought you were going to Care's and then I would get you guys from her house." Katie all of a sudden looked off guard, "What's wrong?"
"I'm guessing you haven't talked to Caroline yet."
"No?" It didn't take her long to figure it out. "She's not coming, is she?" As she asked Lucy came trotting in.
"Nope." Katie responded before bending down to pet Lucy, "Hi Luce."
"Great," she stepped to the side, "come on in."
As Katie walked in, she could see her mom backing out of the driveway. She waved to her before closing the door. Katie followed her upstairs into her room. "You look hot Mad! She chuckled, responding thanks as they walked into her bedroom. She left the door open for Lucy but she didn't come.
From the computer, Cordelia's face could be seen, "So who was-," she cut herself off mid sentence. "Hey Katie!"
"Hi!" Katie waved to Cordelia.
"I thought you were going to be at Caroline's or something."
"I was, but when I texted her earlier she told me something came up and she wasn't going. She was supposed to text you the change of plans."
"Well she didn't," it was obvious that Maddie was aggravated.
"And this is why I don't like Caroline," commented Cordelia.
"You do like her." Maddie responded.
"Every once in awhile, she has to get her shit together." Cordelia turned to look back at Katie, "And where's your costume?"
"In my bag." She held it up.
"Lemme see!"
With a smile, Katie shook her head. "You gotta wait. You'll love it though."
"Kkkkkkkaaaaaaaaaatttttttttttttttttttiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee."
"Ccccccccccooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrddddddddddeeeeeeeellllllllllllllliiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaa," Katie whined back.
"Ugh fine, but you have to do something for making me wait."
"And what's that?"
"Convince Maddie to curl her hair."
"THAT WOULD LOOK SO GOOD!"
Maddie rolled her eyes, "I'm not in the mood to argue so fine." She went and got her curling iron, plugging it in and sitting down. Katie put her stuff down and the three girls just chatted. The minute it was ready, Katie began to curl Maddie's hair.
"Make it hot Katie!" Cordelia called.
"Cordelia shut up!"
"Don't talk Maddie, just enjoy being pampered while we handle everything."
"See what I deal with," she muttered to Katie. For the most part she let Katie and Cordelia chat while her hair was getting curled, she would speak every once in awhile, adding something, but she just listened for the most part. Once Katie was done, she smirked, taking her bag to the bathroom, changing.
"What do you think she's going as?" Cordelia wondered, causing Maddie to shrug.
"No clue."
"Well I love Katie, but you'll still be the hottest person in the room."
Maddie chuckled, "Thanks."
It was quiet for a moment before Cordelia asked, "You gonna text her?"
"Who?"
"Caroline."
Maddie just shrugged, "I don't know about that."
"If I were you I wouldn't text her, I would go to her house and tell her how I feel about her and then leave."
"Of course you would."
"Well I am more direct then you are."
"No."
"Yes."
"Nah."
"Admit it Maddie."
Maddie rolled her eyes and tried not to smirk, "Maybe sometimes."
"All the time."
"I don't think-," Cordelia's glare cut her off. She began laughing hysterically. "Fine, all the time."
"Was that so hard?"
"No, I just like watching you get annoyed."
"Funny. So, what are you doing after the party?"
"Sleeping."
"Is Katie sleeping over?"
"No idea, she can if she wants to."
"That would be good for you, no supernatural for one night is a nice change."
"Well I don't think dad would really appreciate Damon sleeping over."
"I don't think dad appreciates Damon being in the house."
She knew her sister was right about that, "He'll get over it."
Cordelia shrugged, "That's debatable. So, tell me, what's the chance of you coming to Stanford so we can play lax together again?" Maddie couldn't help but grin at her sister. "We were a great duo."
"We were pretty great, weren't me?" She wondered raising an eyebrow.
"The best."
Both Maddie and Cordelia's heads snapped towards the door when they heard it open up. Their mouths turned into an O shape.
"Holy shit," Maddie breathed.
"Katie! I knew you had it in you, rock that costume!"
"Harley Quinn, nice to meet cha!" Katie grinned, making Maddie laugh but also slightly giving her the chills. This was definitely going to be best dressed tonight.
The party was in full swing by the time Maddie and Katie got there. People were everywhere. In the front yard, in the house and even all around the backyard. Maddie heard the music as soon as she pulled into the neighborhood. She was honestly shocked that no one had called the cops yet. Then again, they might have warned the neighbors, not like that always solved problems anyways. Cops could still be called.
"This party is crazy," Katie spoke as they got out of the car.
"It sure is," Maddie breathed. She opened up her backdoor, getting out her angel wings, or devil wings. However, you wanted to look at it they were wings. She also had a halo that she had forgot she bought to go with it. She was going to leave it but Katie had seen it on her bed and Cordelia insisted she put that on as well.
"Hot hot hot."
"Don't talk about yourself Katie," she grinned towards her friend.
"Harley Quinn came to play," Katie spoke making a face, "but so did her sexy devil friend."
"I love you."
"I know!" Maddie made sure her wings were settled on correctly and then they made their way inside together.
As she suspected the party was in full swing. There were people scattered all over the place, standing in the hallways, on the stairs, sitting on various items. Not to mention the inside of the house was decorated from top to bottom.
"HOT HOT HOT HOT!"
Maddie smirked at, Amanda Crane, another senior who she was associated with through field hockey. "Thanks Mandy. You're a bad ass black widow."
"I try."
"And succeed."
After awhile of following Katie, Maddie asked, "Where are we going?"
"Kitchen."
"Why?"
"That's where the team is."
"Team?"
"Our lax team of course."
"How do you know?" Maddie asked. Sure enough, as Katie said the whole team was in the kitchen laughing at something. Some of them had drinks in their hands, others were eating from bowls of chips.
"We were all texting in the group chat while you were driving," Katie murmured before she went onto yelling, "THE PARTY HAS ARRIVED," making their entrance known.
"Aye!" Courtney yelled, Maddie could tell that she had already had one too many. She reminded her of Cordelia in a way.
"Hi guys!" Janelle waved.
Their team, which had been seventeen was now down to twelve, considering five girls had graduated. They know people would get bumped up so there would be a new dynamic. Nonetheless, they had always been and would continue to be a strong team.
"So are you the devil to my angel?" Asked Kristen, who was dressed in an all white angel costume.
"You know it."
"That's gonna be my insta caption later."
"Maddie you better put a selfie on insta tonight," called Amy. "You look hot!"
"Maddie always slaying!" Hanna grinned.
"You guys are making me blush."
"Ooohh, the devil has feelings."
"Hold on," cut in Janelle. "I could have sworn I heard Caroline saying that you were an angel."
Maddie shrugged, "Well, I spray painted the wings black."
"Risque."
"Just for you babe."
The room filled with laughter as the girls began discussing various things, ranging from school, parties, dating life and sports, mainly lacrosse, nonetheless others were mentioned. Some of them had drinks, actually a majority of them drank, Maddie, knowing she had to drive home and might drive someone else home stuck with water. By the time ten had hit, not only was Maddie beginning to yawn but her eyes were slightly hurting from all of the cameras that had been flashed, and the pictures she had been involved with. She had already posted on her Instagram earlier, a picture of her and the whole team with a pumpkin caption. Nonetheless, she stayed longer wanting to enjoy herself which she did. When eleven thirty hit she was ready to go. Her phone had already died but she had made sure to inform her parents that she would be home late, as would they. Her mom had responded to text her if she planned to stay out past one. When eleven forty two hit she was ready to go. She had been in the kitchen for a good part of the night, but she had been outside in the halls, living room and other places of the house as well, talking to various people.
"Alright," she announced, "I think I'm going to head out."
"Don't be such a party pooper!" Whined Katie.
"Okay Katy Kat, I think that you've had one too many. I mean way too many when I say that." She grinned at her friend.
"I'm fine," Katie swayed as she spoke.
"The fact that you can't stand straight is a lie."
"Alright, maybe I'm a little tipsy."
"Don't worry about her," Amy said. "I got her."
"You sure?"
She nodded, "If anyone needs a ride call me. I'm sure it would be a nice change in this town if everyone got home safely for a night."
"I think that would be a shocker."
"Exactly, nice change." She went and hugged Amy before hugging everyone else. She had asked Katie again if she wanted her to come back and get her or if she wanted to leave, but Katie had insisted on staying. So with that Maddie left. Because the party had been a huge turn out, she parked down the street from the house. As she walked, she began taking short steps. Her shoes were killing her feet. She knew it was the heel but like Cordelia had told her, 'it makes the outfit.' The wings weren't as bad, but they were beginning to feel heavy on her back. The minute she got to her car, she opened up the back doors, preparing to take off the wings. She had moved her hair to the side for a second before her body tensed and she immediately stopped. She had that feeling. That feeling that someone was behind her, watching her. She could feel her bones tensing up. Slowly, she turned around, not knowing what to expect, especially since her phone was dead and in this town things happened at the flip of a switch.
As she turned, the first thing she took in was height. Then she noticed the suite. And then the hair. She felt her jaw grinning before she could stop herself, not that she wanted to. She breathed out his name quietly, like when you don't believe something but you still force yourself to say it, "Elijah."
"Maddison," Elijah stood tall, "did you miss me?"
"I mean it's only been what," she shrugged, "five months? Give or take a few days." Her heart was pounding out of her chest.
"And tell me, how have those days been?"
She took a small step forward, "They've been long. Bearable, sometimes painful."
"I'm sorry."
"Not your fault." She slowly began to bounce lightly on her feet.
"Are you just going to stand there?"
With a wide grin she took off in a run, straight into the arms of Elijah. He caught her the moment she jumped into his arms. Inhaling she took in his scent. His strong masculine scent. As he lifted her feet off of the floor, she wrapped her arms even tighter around him, holding him to her. She wanted to cry of happiness. "This is real right?" She whispered, "You're real? You're here." She moved so that she was still in his arms, but now she could see him.
"On the contrary I'm very real."
She smiled, feeling a tear in her eye well up. She had missed him. "I've missed you."
"I've missed you too."
With that she moved in, slowly at first. They held eye contact just looking at one another, not doing anything. As a few more seconds went by she moved in even closer so that there noses brushed before she sealed the deal pressing her lips against his. He kissed her back and they had a nice gentle kiss, before her right hand wound up in his hair and she pulled him closer, wanting access to him. Brushing her tongue along his bottom lip was her way of asking for entrance, which he denied her. She frowned, opening up her eyes which she had closed moving away. "What's wrong?"
"Well, I prefer to be behind closed doors while you try to, how do you say, makeout with me."
She smirked, "Of course, how could I forget." She pulled away from him. "Your place?" He smirked back, following her to her car and getting in the passenger seat. She took off her wings putting them into the backseat and she debated taking off her shoes and slipping into her slippers but she ruled against it. She didn't want to waste any time. The ride to Elijah's was a quiet one. Maddie didn't feel awkward, she was just anticipating. She had missed him. She was excited to be around him. Her heart was just pounding. Puling into a spot at Elijah's, she turned off the car, taking her bottom lip in between her teeth slowly before looking at Elijah. He was looking back at her. She smiled, causing him to smile back before he was out in a flash and her door was opening. She then grinned, taking her keys and phone, and getting out of the car.
Elijah, standing tall looked at Maddie, before extending his hand out to her. She grasped it, still smiling before she let him lead her inside. Glancing around, she noted things looked the same. He led her to the couch in the living room. She smiled, thinking of the kisses that had been shared on that couch.
Taking a seat, she sat down next to him, placing her keys and phone on the in table. She found herself looking everywhere but him, suddenly nervous to be in his company. Elijah, noticing moved her face to look at him.
"How are you back?"
"Damon."
"Damon?" That was hard to believe, nonetheless she was thankful.
"Yes Damon."
"Did you see him?"
"No, he undaggered me and was gone when I woke up."
"Does Klaus know?"
"Well, after ripping out his hybrids heart he does."
"I'm sure that pissed him off."
"He was too in shock."
She grinned at him, "I'm sorry, I don't mean to stare, I just, I can't believe that your back." He only smirked at her. "Damon really undaggered you?"
"Yes."
"I have to remind myself to thank him."
"I'm sure it can wait until tomorrow."
"It can," she moved in a tad closer. Elijah of course noticed. "Right now, all I want to do is be in your company." She went for the kill then, kissing his lips softly at first before pulling away, "I missed being able to do that." She told him honestly before moving back in. Knowing how it felt to be without him, she planned on keeping him close. "Sorry," she whispered lightly.
"For what?"
"Being pushy, I'm just so glad that you're back."
"Trust me," he brushed a small strand of hair from his face, "I don't mind."
"We should probably be catching up," she noticed a slight twinkle in his eyes. She took that as "we can do that later." "But we have time for that later," and she went in again, planting a kiss on his lips. Stronger this time. Elijah kissed her back with the same enthusiasm, his hand cupping the side of her face. Anxiously, wanting to be as close to him as possible, she moved so that he had to move back and she was laying on top of him. She began to get rougher, feeling hungry for him. It had been a long time since they shared a kiss and now that he was back, she had no intention on letting him go.
Moving her face slightly to the side, she stopped their passionate kiss and laughed as her halo came down, hitting Elijah's forehead. "Sorry, it's my halo."
"Interesting, may I ask why you're all dressed up?"
"Halloween party."
"Right."
"Might I ask what you're supposed to be?"
She chuckled, "Let's just call it angel gone bad."
"Interesting?"
She quirked an eyebrow, "How's that interesting?"
"I'd love to tell you, but it's late and you should be going home."
Her heart raced, "I don't want to go home."
"I'll be here tomorrow."
I doubt it, Maddie thought. Klaus will probably come and dagger him the minute you leave. "I don't trust your brother not to dagger you again."
"Oh, he won't."
"How can you be so sure?"
"Just trust me."
Getting into her bed, Maddie was ready to go to sleep. Her eyes were drooping before she remembered something. Opening her text messages she scrolled down to Damon.
Maddie- Thank you.
