Disclaim: I do not own Vampire Dairies. Or any songs, movies or artists or phones or phone applications I refer to in this fanfiction.

Just wanted to thank everyone for the PM and the positive feedback. I just love it! Thank you for keeping me motivated. Just a bit of inside info. As I write this I try to put myself in the characters shoes, and I try to think back to high school. And I don't want this story all serious with no fun and jokes. Here is Chapter 15, I made it longer then I intended to because I have delayed updating and I want to treat you guys. Get you hyped! Keep the reviews coming in because it motivated me when I feel anything but motivated.

Elena's POV

I tried to go incognito for the rest of the day, I mean I tried to stay out of sight which I did quite good. Hailey just raised a brow at me when I slipped into English Lit. I just sent her a smile waving everything off. But other than Hailey no one else seemed to notice me. So I actually got some work done. After lunch or well the lack thereof everything just seem to speed up and by the time school was over I was surprised that time passed so fast. As the final bell for the day rang in the halls and my fellow student body vacate the building I took my time in packing up my bag and my books. I knew that even if I attempted to walk home now Stefan would either drive by me and try to take me home or he would be waiting for me at home.

I didn't want to go home, that was actually a first for me. So when I finally have all my books in my bag I start to make my way to my locker, one step, then another step. The school has become silent yet again as most of the people go home or get ready for practice. I reach my locker and pull it open, I needed to take my Science books with me home. I close my locker door as I decide to walk past the sport grounds. Not even sure what I would find but it would delay me. And I needed to be delayed.

I find myself sitting on the bleachers as I look over the field to where countless of teens are participating sports. The football team taking up most of the football field, the cheerleaders of to the side as Caroline yell at them to stick to their routine, she was the head captain of the team. She always wanted me and Bonnie to join, yet I couldn't find it in myself to enjoy it, all the cheering and yelling and jumping. I couldn't see myself being the optimistic cheerleader 24/7. I mean I had my ups and downs. Being cheerful wasn't me. But Caroline eventually got Bonnie to join. Me? Not so much. I watch the two as they start the routine with the group.

"Are we watching the cheerleaders or the football players?" I hear from beside me and I lazily look around to the source and smile.

"I'm not sure but both look pretty amusing." I reply back as Jeremy sits next to me. "And you? Don't you have some lame video game you have to play?" I ask as I look back to the group of cheerleaders.

I hear my brother move around a bit until he finally settles down. "Nah, not in the mood." I hear him say and I start to giggle because I mean that was all he did, he played video games. He was glued to the damn TV in his room. "And I am really not in the mood to sit at home with you ex-boyfriend right outside waiting for you. I mean I swear there is something wrong with him." Jeremy says and I frown at this.

"He's at home now?" I ask a bit in disbelief. Jeremy only nods his head to me. "I told him it's over, we aren't getting back together. It seems that he just doesn't want to get the picture." I say as I look over to the football field trying to spot the elder Salvatore but failing because all the guys are wearing helmets and they all look alike. Come to think of it I didn't even know what number Damon played as.

"Well he's either, death, dumb or ignorant." Jeremy indicates and I just roll my eyes at him.

"So what brings you out here?" I ask looking back to my brother and he has his sights set on the girls. I shake my head, Jeremy was my younger brother, when did he stop playing video games and start focussing on girls? I mean seriously he was just 7 a few weeks ago, okay maybe I am exaggerating at the moment but how the hell did he grow up so fast. Yes I know he's a year younger but still when did he grow up? When did things change so drastically?

"Vicki Donavan." Jeremy says and I raise a brow as I look to the girls and I notice the young petite brunette off to the side. The name actually sounds familiar, where did I know it from? Oh yes, Matt's younger sister. Hmmm.

"Since when did you start liking girls?" I say looking back towards Jeremy and he has the audacity to roll his eyes at me. "Hey watch it!" I say jabbing him in his side with my elbow as he chuckles but then his face turns serious.

"Since when does Damon Salvatore keep your phone?" He counters and I gasp at that. My phone! I never even noticed that I didn't have it, was that why the rest of my day was so peaceful? I can remember Damon taking my phone but did he give it back? No he had not, and I never got the chance to get it from him, but I decide to play dumb and make like an complete idiot because I didn't want Jeremy to know about me and the elder Salvatore just yet.

"What do you mean?" I ask as I look back to the group of girls, trying to play coy but I fail because it's written right on my face, and my brother knows when I am lying.

"Elena I tried texting you, and then calling you and when you phone was finally answered, guess who answered it…" I don't look to Jeremy.

"The tooth fairy?" I say half sarcastically as Jeremy pokes me in my side and I gasp at that and I was trying my best to stay cool but it wasn't working.

"I didn't know Damon was the tooth fairy!" He says and then just shakes his head. "But seriously Elena, why does Damon have your phone?" He finishes and I finally look at him.

"I lost my phone, maybe he picked it up?" I say and Jeremy raises a brow. He clearly doesn't belief me. But then again I didn't believe myself. But my younger brother doesn't reply for a while.

"Yeah, Elena, so I didn't see him taking your phone at lunch?" He asks and I know that I am in deep shit because he knew, but I think that the question is rhetorical and it would be best not to answer it.

I bite my lip, yes sooner or later he would know but until then I would not say anything I would play dumb, play coy whatever, even if he saw right through me. "So you and Vicki? How's that working out for you?" I ask changing the subject completely and trying to make it not seem obvious and at this Jeremy sighs and I look at him, he doesn't seem to optimistic. "What's wrong?" I ask before I hear him sigh again and he turns to me.

"I like her…" He says and then trails of.

"But?" I interject.

"She likes someone else…." He sounds so depressed as he says this and I can't help but feel sad.

"And who's that?" I ask and I watch as he points down to the field and my eyes follow his finger until I see her walking towards some of the guys on the football team who are now just trying to gain their breath as the drink some water. I watch as the brunette make her way towards them and then I notice Damon's unmistakable raven hair as he greedily drinks from his water bottle.

Was Vicki making her way over to Damon. I watch them closely. I watch as she sways her hips from side to side, clearly getting all the guys attention yet I don't see Damon looking, his eyes are closed as he tries to catch his breath. "She likes the guy who has your phone." I hear Jeremy say and I watch as she stops in front of Damon and I feel half uncomfortable and jealous. Me jealous that was a first.

We are close enough to listen in on them but I watch as her mouth moves and I can actually hear her flirting with him about how hard practice is and how warm it is and could she get some water. I frown because she was actually coming off as needy. I look closer and I see him open his eyes as he regard her. "No this is my water." I hear him say but she doesn't stop at that and she just continues.

"So Damon, you seeing anyone? Wanna get together?" she asks and I look to Jeremy who seems beyond pissed as he watches the scene. I know they didn't notice us and this was clearly what happened every day of Damon's life, girls coming up to him, trying their best to get with him, throwing themselves at him. I feel like I don't want to watch. I feel like I'm just going to be disappointed if I watch. I look back to them and he seem unfazed by her there.

"No." I frown. Did Damon just say no?

"Do you mean no, you're not seeing anyone or no you don't want to get together?" Vicki asks and she gives him a smile, reaching out towards him, in hope of God knows what.

"I said no. I don't want to get together with you, not now or in the future. And whether I am or whether I am not seeing anyone is none of your business." Damon repeats himself yet explains a bit more and he turns from her like the conversation never even happened. I mean I am surprised that he said no, hell Jeremy's mouth was hanging open in shock and surprise. I watch as Vicki huffs and then she turns on her heel, clearly upset that she had been denied by Damon and she makes a bee-line towards the cheerleaders and they are beyond surprised to see one of their own being rejected like that. I just could not belief that, that just happened. I mean I was beyond proud. I even catch myself smiling like an idiot. I watch as Damon pulls his helmet on and he runs of onto the field again.

"I can't belief that Damon just turned down Vicki." I hear Jeremy saying and I instantly hide the smile that was on my lips as I look to my brother, I didn't want to seem too proud.

"Neither can I." I reply faking my shock completely, well I'm not really sure that I was faking it because he had caught me by complete surprise.

"It's because of you." I hear him say and I look to him yet again surprised that my brother was actually spot on.

"Why would you say that?" I find myself asking when he finally looks at me. He doesn't answer my but he knows, he already knew, he knows more then he leads on and I just blink at him like he lost his mind or something but in fact he was so right

"I'm not stupid Elena. There's something between you two…" Jeremy says and I frown because Jeremy was a smart kid, I could not deny that and he could put two and two together. "The way you move around each other. I mean I could see when you left science how you two are with each other. Before Hailey came. And yesterday he took you home… I mean he only came back for practise. Don't tell me he was at home because I actually saw his car leave our house around 15:00…" Jeremy says and at this I blush and then I pull back.

He knew… There was no hiding it anymore, no playing a complete idiot.

"Jeremy…" I start not even knowing what I would say to my brother but he cuts me off before I could utter another word.

"Elena, he's different with you, but if he hurts you…." Jeremy leaves it at that as he rises from the bleacher.

"Just don't say anything please?" I ask and he looks to me over his shoulder and he gives me this smile that I just know, he wouldn't tell a soul, and that was our bond. Our brother and sister bond that kept us from killing each other. I just return the smile to him as he finally walks away. I just knew that I could trust my brother even in all this madness. But before he's at the stairs he turns towards me.

"You know if everything works out for me and Vicki and we end up getting married and shit and Caroline ends up married to Matt, Caroline's biggest wish in the world will come true." Jeremy yells at me and I instantly frown, not fully knowing what he meant.

"And what is that?" I ask.

"Caroline would be related to you and she would be your sister in-law, in-law." Jeremy says as he turns and he just walks away as I finally understands what he meant and I start laughing like a mad woman from the pit of my stomach. That would be her ultimate dream, being related to me, being sisters, one way or another. I think I laughed so hard that I actually attract some attention from the cheerleading squad and the boys practicing.

I grab at my sides and there are tears running down my cheeks. Jeremy. Oh hell little brother. I look to the cheerleaders and Caroline, Bonnie and the whole squad has stopped to stare at me and well I think I caught Damon's attention as well because he was staring at me, stopping in his tracks, the football in his hands and then he gets tackled to the ground and I just stare in horror as the man who tackled him finally stands up and pulls Damon back up.

I watch as Damon take of his helmet and he looks to me, his eyes wide in surprise. I don't usually stay behind to sit on the bleachers to observe any kind of sport activity. Not when I can curl up on my window sill with a book. I watch as the man who had tackled Damon pulls of his helmet and hells bells it's Ric and he's just smiling at me showing me a thumbs up.

My laughter has calmed to the point where I am breathing slowly as I look to the boys and I give them a small smile. Damon blinks twice and he just seems so surprised to see me there. But I smile towards him and then he looks to the coach and he nods to my direction. The coach looks at me and then back to Damon before he nods his head. And I just see Ric smiling as he grabs for Damon's helmet and Damon starts to make his way towards the bleachers. Not really sure what he was going to do now.

But I watch him as he moves and he's so elegant, his movement as swift and effortless, I could understand why he was the captain of the football team. He reaches the bleachers and then he ascends the stairs and I am sure as hell he's making his way towards me. My heart starts to beat rapidly because the way he looks, the blue his eyes are sporting, he seems completely breath-taking. I feel like a tween meeting her crush for the first time.

He was really the definition of perfection and sexy and hot all put together. When he finally reaches me he takes a seat next to me and he smiles. I smile back to him. "I didn't know I was being observed." He says as he looks to the field and his team member start up again, this time without him.

"I thought I needed to see what all the fuss has been about concerning a certain football captain that all the girls are dying to be with." I say and Damon chuckles at that wiggling his eye brows. I giggle because I was actually flirting with him.

"Are they dying for him?" He asks and we both just look at the field as his team member's practise.

"I heard he was the ultimate heart breaker." I say and I hear him chuckle.

"My reputation precedes me." At this I giggle but it is humourless. "You don't seem to be dying thou." He says and I look at him and I actually catch him staring at me.

"You haven't broken my heart yet…" I say and at this he smiles and I takes my hand and pulls it into his.

"And I don't plan on breaking it. What use would a dead girl be to me?" he asks and I just roll my eyes at him squeezing his hand somewhat. "What brings you out here this time of day?" he asks and I sigh as I look back to the field of football players.

"Stefan's camping out at my house…" I say as a matter of fact before turning back to Damon. "And I do believe that you still have my phone." I say and at this Damon just smiles to me.

"Yeah… I was looking for a reason to see you later today, maybe come over to your house after practise but you beat me to it." He replies and I just shake my head. "You friends are really irritating thou… I mean when is Caroline not on her phone messaging you the same for Bon-Bon." Damon says moving a bit closer to me but I move away, unsure if we were being observed, me holding Damon's hand was already too risky.

"You read my text?" I ask not to bothered about it because I didn't have anything to hide.

"Yeah, they still haven't noticed that they aren't talking to you but to me." He says and this I start laughing and I poke at his side only to poke his football gear. "But seriously you are a hot topic. I mean your friends were texting you like crazy, from BBM to Whatsapp. And Facebook…" He pauses as he looks down and then he looks to me again shaking his head. "Let me just tell you this. I replied to a few text that Blondie and Bon-Bon sent, I blocked Stefan, you had like two Whatsapp messages one was from me because I forgot I had your phone and then the other is from that Hailey girl, but I didn't open your Facebook. Oh and your brother was texting you like crazy and phoning non-stop so I had to answer." He says and I just nod my head. I didn't mind that he spoke to my friends, I appreciated that he blocked Stefan but there was nothing that I hid so if he wanted he could check my phone.

"I'll check all that when I get my phone and get home." I say and I am so tempted to just ley my head on his shoulder but I refrain from doing that.

"Well you'll need to wait till we finish practise if that's okay." Damon says and I nod my head.

"I don't mind." I say and then he lets go of my hand as he looks to the field.

"Salvatore!" I hear the coach yell and we both look over to him and then I look to Damon.

"Yeah! I'm coming!" He yells back and then rises from the bleachers.

"Damon, my brother knows." I say and I really thought that Damon would be angry, that he would not approve but he smiles to me.

"Bout time someone other than Ric knows." Damon says and I frown but he just smiles to me. "It's cool thou. Listen we finish in about 20 to 30 minutes so give me 40 and I'll come and get you and drive you home okay?" Damon says as he looks to me and I smile to him.

"Okay. Just be save okay?" I say and it almost looks like he's moving towards me, leaning to me but he just pulls from me unexpectedly and gives me this awkward smile.

"Will do." He says as he starts to make his way towards the stairs that leads down to the field. "I'll make up for that on our way home okay?" he almost whispers but I hear him and I just smile as he waves to me and he runs over the field to where Ric's standing holding his helmet in one hand and then both look to me and I just smile. I look from then to the cheerleaders and they are busy with their routine. After a few more tries at their routine I can see that Caroline has had enough for today and she dismisses the squad.

I watch as she and Bonnie grab their bags and then they start to make their way towards the parking lot but then Caroline stops and they both turn to me. I frown at them for a second, before I watch them making their way towards me and I rise from the bleachers, heading to the stairs to meet them half way.

As I reach the bottom of the bleachers they both are standing there with their arms crossed over their chest, Caroline was not happy. Well I could understand why I did ditch them at lunch, I basically ran off and after that I didn't really speak to them. Well Damon did, if he actually really did but I didn't.

"Great practice Care, Bonnie." I say and both girls smile towards me.

"I didn't know you were coming to watch us today." Bonnie says and I just give her a smile.

"You finally decided to become part of the squad?" Caroline asks and I start laughing because I did not see that in my foreseeable future. But the glare I receive from my blonde friend stills me as I look at her, serious again. "So why did you come today?" she asks and I just sigh, what was I going to say?

"Well Jeremy told me that Stefan is camping outside our house so I had nowhere else to go." I say as I fidget with the seam of my shirt but the blondes eyes are wide as she looks to me.

"What? Seriously? He's at your house right now?" Caroline asks and I just sigh and almost roll my eyes.

"Seriously. He's waiting outside my house for me to get home." I reply.

"Can't he just get the picture, I mean he was making us crazy today." Bonnie says and I look to her, not really sure I wanted to know what she meant by her statement. "At lunch he kept on pleading to us to talk to you, to get you to talk to him…" Bonnie says and at this I had to roll my eyes.

"Not a chance in hell that we are getting back together." I say as I look over to where the guys are practising on the field and I can see Damon trying to focus as he jumps into the air to receive the football. But I look back to my friends.

"He's really starting to piss me off thou. I mean after lunch he sends me a message asking me if my messages go through to you, and when I sent you a message it went through so I told him yes. And he just starts moaning that you blocked him on BBM. Did you?" Caroline asks and for a moment I seem blank because I'm not sure but I can remember Damon saying something like that.

"Yeah he was really getting on my nerves." I finally say and both girls roll their eyes in irritation. "I talked to him this morning and I told him that we can work this out, but it seems like he can fix everything. I just can't, I can't trust him after this, I mean they were caught having sex in the locker room and rumour has it that this has been going on since last year." I say and both my friends gasp, they seem surprised.

"How do you know?" Bonnie asks and I just look to the side not really willing to tell them that there was a little tattle tale who told me. I didn't want Hailey being seen in a bad light because she did the right thing.

"I just heard, and well Rebekah isn't denying it." I say and I just feel so drained right now. "By the way why is Rebekah around Stefan the whole time, she's following him like a fly follows a piece of shit." I ask and at this Bonnie instantly laughs.

"Elena to be honest Saturday when we wanted to go out and I told Stefan that you couldn't he was the one who invited Rebekah. And they were so weird with each other but every time I questioned him about it he would shrug it of, saying that their friends. So I thought nothing of it. And yesterday after you left with Damon they were fighting like cats and dogs, or well like an old married couple." Caroline says and then she turns to Bonnie who seems to be waiting her turn to speak her mind.

"Today she kept on telling him, you won't take him back and that she's way better and it was like she was trying to win him back." Bonnie says and I just shake my head.

"She doesn't have to try so hard, she can have him." I say and both girls look to me.

"But I thought you were so in love with him, yet you seem so unaffected by the whole situation." Caroline asks and at this I raise an eyebrow at her.

"Caroline, I liked Stefan, I mean what is there not to like. But still knowing that even when we were dating he was fucking Rebekah… I'm not angry nor sad, I just feel betrayed." I say as I fold my arms over my chest.

Caroline just looks at me and I can see that her mind is working overtime as she narrows her eyes. "You just don't seem upset by the whole thing." She says and at this I run my hand through my brown locks.

I turn from my friends and look to the field. "People just have a different way on how they handle situations." I say and I watch as the guys start to move to the lockers most likely going to get cleaned up or something but time was now limited because I know Damon would soon be coming.

"Does it have to do with your sudden friendship with Damon?" I hear Bonnie say and I look to her with a frown on my face, even thou it had everything to do with Damon, I wasn't about to spill the beans.

"What?" I say because that's the only intelligent thing that I could utter without giving myself away.

Caroline looks to Bonnie she has a frown on her face as well but Bonnie won't let up, her brow is raised and this means she's serious. "You never liked him, you never spoke to him, you despised him and now, well he's taken you home twice, your suddenly friends on Facebook liking each other's status updates and leaving comments. And then do I mention that he's been hanging around us well you more often. Don't think I didn't notice him following you into the courtyard at lunch and then you friendly exchange a few minutes ago. You were practically smiling and you don't ever smile when he's around. What's going on?" Bonnie asks and at first I am speechless because you never really notice how much a person notices when your head is in the clouds. But then I get pissed off because what was she trying to say?

Caroline looks to Bonnie as the words sink in and then she turns to me and I know she's thinking the same thing. "Bonnie come on there must be a reasonable explanation. I'm sure Elena can explain." Caroline starts saying and I look to both of them in complete surprise.

"Yeah I can explain, but seeing that my friends would rather throw bitch fits instead of asking me to my face what's going on I am not going to explain myself." I say as I totally just let go of my anger. I watch both Bonnie and Caroline's eyes go wide. "I mean seriously both of you are making assumptions that are ridiculous and then you all out just go me when I just need my friends for support." I say and I know that was a bit harsh and all my anger had been built up from other sources and now I was biting their heads of but I just don't think that they would understand what was going on.

"Elena, it's not like that." Caroline says and I just shake my head from side to side.

"It's exactly like that, guys, I'm going through some shit, and yes I need my friends, and I need time alone and all that. And things are just a bit strange at the moment but it will all go back to what it was. Just for now let me sort out myself." And when those words leave my mouth I'm not sure who I am trying to make believe. Because I already knew what I wanted, my head was up right and I wanted Damon. I just could not tell it to anyone at this moment. They wouldn't understand and they would get angry and they would judge Damon like they always do and I just didn't want that for us.

"Elena, I didn't mean to upset you like that." Bonnie says reaching out to me, and I take her hand as she wraps her arms around me. "We are all just upset about everything and things are crazy, people are mad."

I embrace my friend and soon Caroline joins in as we hug each other. When I pull away from them I look at both of them I look at them. "Right now I just have to trust my own madness." I say and both of the girls from but smile nether the less. "You guys should get going." I say as I see some of the football players heading back from the lockers. And I didn't want them to see I was waiting for Damon.

"Why don't I drive you home?" Caroline asks and I raise a brow she has only had her license for 9 weeks and I still valued my life so getting in the car with her was not an option.

"I'm actually waiting for Jeremy he said he needed to pick something up from Tyler then we could walk home together." I lie. But they buy it and we say a quick goodbye as I wave them of. I watch as they get into Caroline's little Picanto and then they drive of with music blasting on every decibel.
