Elena's POV
"Elena…?" I hear my name being called when I open the front door. Was my parents already home?
I close the door behind me and look from side to side they must probably be in the kitchen. "Coming…" I say as I start to make my way towards the kitchen. When I enter the kitchen I see both my parents sitting at the counter with Jeremy, and might I add that they look beyond pissed. Something was definitely up. "Hey?" I half ask looking from my parents towards my brother.
"Have a seat." My father says and I raise a brow but move towards the seat next to Jeremy, his expression is completely blank.
"Okay, what wrong?" I say a bit sceptical. What was going on and why were we having a family meeting? I mean it seems that they have been waiting for me and I really don't understand why if Jeremy was the one who was in trouble for being arrested. This never meant anything good.
"You are both grounded." My mother says and my eyes go wide with shock. Why we're both of us grounded? Jeremy was the one that was in trouble not me.
"Why!" I ask looking at my mother, she just seems un-affected by my question as she stares at me, a permanent frown on her face. "I mean I had nothing to do with Jeremy being arrested." I say as I look to Jeremy and he glares at me? I don't understand why we both were grounded.
"Both of you will be tested for drugs after this discussion is over." My father says and my eyes go wide, so now they think I was doing drugs this seemed a bit unfair if you asked me. "I know we haven't spent a lot of time at home since uncle John has been in the accident but you two are totally spiralling out of control. Jeremy you are never home, you are always at a 'friend' now we hear you are on drug and that you got arrested." My father continues with a stern look on his face. But still what did this have to do with me and why did he say we are spiralling out of control. I was in control.
"Elena we are concerned about these parties you attend and that just last week you were dating Stefan and now you are with Damon, should I even mention that when Sheriff Forbes did patrols near the house she found Damon car parked here since Friday? That mean he was here the whole weekend, he even slept here, Elena do you care to explain to us what's that all about?" My mother says and she is beyond angry. "And it wasn't the first time Damon spent the night? He did so last week as well?" My mother asks and my eyes go wide in shock.
"Were you checking up on us?" I ask my voice a bit louder then I intended. I can't help but feel betrayed that my mother and father would send the Sheriff to check up on us, I mean didn't they trust us?
"Yes Elena, hell it's the first time we leave you alone at home and you have a guy sleep over? And not just any guy, but Damon Salvatore?" My father asks in disbelieve.
"Damon brought me home and Jeremy wasn't here! So he stayed over so I wouldn't be alone!" I reply my anger getting worse and worse by the second. "He should deserve a thank you for staying with me." I reply looking towards Jeremy and I know I just ratted him out that he wasn't here the whole time they were gone. But it was the truth and they shouldn't be so harsh on me.
"Why didn't you let us know that Jeremy wasn't home in the first place Elena?" My father asks and I frown.
"Jeremy is a good kid, and he has never gotten into trouble until now, why would I rat him out when I know he didn't do anything wrong?" I ask and both my parents are glaring at me now, like I withheld important information from them, It wasn't like Jeremy was out and about robbing people and breaking into their houses. He was most likely just hanging with friends but that did raise suspicion because he always said he was out with Tayler when Tayler was always attending Ric's parties. I wouldn't share that information with my parents thou.
"So there is more stuff you didn't tell us? What else are you hiding from us Elena?" My father yells towards me and I narrow my eyes because this was so un-fair, why were they acting like that?
"And why are you even with Damon Salvatore, I wouldn't be surprised if you came home telling us you're pregnant in the near future and believe me if that happened he wouldn't think twice just to stick around, he would just leave you!" my mother says and my eyes go wide. Did she just say what I think she said? I fear tears are threatening to fall but I hold them back.
"I wouldn't be that stupid to let it happen." I say as I turn to the side, surprisingly my brother has kept quiet during this whole situation maybe they already spoke to him while I was still at school. "Besides it doesn't matter, I and Damon's relationship is just that: Ours. It doesn't have to make sense to you." I say as I am about to stand and walk out the door but my dad slams his firsts on the counter stopping me dead in my tracks.
"So you don't deny being sexually active with him?" my father asks.
"It has nothing to do with you." I say narrowing my eyes again.
"It does, you really don't care about your Christian values, to stay pure until your wedding night. Sex outside of marriage is sinful." My mother finally says and I look towards her. Was she really going to play that card when we both know she got pregnant with me before she and dad was married.
"Yeah mom, like you and dad waited till you wedding night, everyone knows you had a shotgun wedding! You were pregnant and you had to marry dad!" I yell at them, this was turning into a rather messy fight and we were starting to fight ugly.
"Elena! How dare you!" My father shouts.
"Don't act so innocent. Okay? Don't do this double standard bullshit." I finally say and my father and mother sit back as they glare at me.
"I think you should go to your room." My mother says and I glare towards her.
"Ever since Uncle John was in that car accident you two have been at each other's throats non-stop and now you're taking it out on us. Get your priorities straight. Because you are giving both me and Jeremy whiplash with all your mood swings." I say, it was the honest truth. But it only seemed to make things worse, and my parents angry.
"Maybe it has something to do with your mother's infidelity with Uncle John." My father mutters and the whole room goes quiet. Did I just hear my father correctly? I look to my mother, she is beyond angry as she turns towards my father.
"I said I was sorry what more do you want from me!" My mother yells and I look to Jeremy who's staring at me in complete shock.
"No Miranda! Sorry will not help, what you did fucked up our 15 years of being happily married." My father says and my eyes go wide. Did my mother cheat on my father with his brother? I could not believe it. They had to be kidding. I open my mouth to say something but close it again because nothing I could say would matter. My father turns towards both me and Jeremy. "I think you two should go to some friends tonight." My father says and I frown, they wanted us out of the house? That didn't mean anything good.
"I think it would be better." My mother says as she looks towards me, angry tears threatening to fall over her eye lids. I wasn't sure what this meant but I look towards Jeremy and he too has a blank expression on his face. "Phone Sheriff Forbes to come and pick both of you up." My mother says and I frown, there was no way I was spending the night over there, me and Caroline was still fighting.
"I'll rather stay over at Hailey. Jeremy can go to Tyler." I say softly. My father looks to me and he frowns somewhat.
"Sure go pack a bag, me and your mother have a lot to talk about." I watch my father, he seems completely shattered, and not in the way I felt when I found out that Stefan had cheated on me. He looks broken and I could somewhat understand. I look to Jeremy and he just nods towards me. I don't even question them I just rise to my feet as I slowly make my way towards the stairs closely being followed by Jeremy. I move to my room and place my school bag on the floor as I look around my room.
Jeremy is still behind me. He closes the door and walks to my bed sitting down. "Jer?" I ask as I look to him, I needed an overnight bad. I start to look around my room in search of one.
"I can't believe it." Jeremy says as he stares of into the distance.
"Neither can I." I say as I walk to my closet finally finding my overnight bag, I pull it out and place it next to Jeremy.
"I heard them the other day talk about it, but I didn't know it was mom that cheated on dad… How could she?" Jeremy asks and I stop dead in my tracks as I look to him. He knew? What else did he know?
"When was this?" I ask walking over to him and taking a seat next to him.
"Last weekend. Mom was yelling at dad about something and then I tried to listen in. They were talking about cheating, and this was going on since before they were together." Jeremy says and my eyes go wide, so did this mean mom cheated on dad with his brother since when I was born? My face go pale, what if we weren't even dad's kids, what if Uncle John was out biological father. I grab onto Jeremy's hand making him look to us.
"What if Uncle John is our father?" I ask but Jeremy just raised an eye brow.
"Dad already demanded DNA tests." Jeremy says and that was probably why they wanted to test us both for drugs, to cover up the DNA tests. "Hence the drug tests." Jeremy says. So I was right. This couldn't be for real, this had to be some kind of sick joke. I mean why would mom do it, and why would she continue to do it? I feel Jeremy move and I see him pull out his phone. "But yeah that's why I was doing drugs." Jeremy says and my heart actually breaks when he tells me this.
"Why didn't you tell me?" I ask placing an arm around my brother and he pulls me closer to him.
"I was scared that it was true, this can pull our whole family apart." Jeremy says and my heart breaks to know that he knew this and he was keeping it to himself, I hold him even closer and I feel like crying, I felt like everything that I knew had just shattered in front of me. Nothing I thought was actually how it seemed. "I should call Tyler…" My brother says but I can tell he doesn't want to go.
"You could stay with me." I say and I hear Jeremy choke up which only brings tears to my eyes because this all was real, this was the reality, our mother cheated on our father and now this was the aftermath. "If you want." I say, I feel Jeremy wrap his arms around me and he just hold me.
I wanted to cry but I needed to be strong for my brother now, I needed to be the shoulder he was leaning on. I couldn't show him that I was week. When all I wanted to do was crumble, roll up in a small ball and cry my eyes out. "It's okay, I'll go to Tyler. I think you should maybe go to Damon." Jeremy says and at this I pull from him and look him straight in his eyes.
"Are you sure?" I ask and he nods his head towards me before pulling from me completely, he rises from the bed and then he's on his phone, and soon his phone is pressed to his ear as he walks to the bathroom, probably going to his room. I sight as I pull my phone from my pocket. Should I go to Damon or should I go to Hailey? I wasn't that sure. I had never spent the night over at Damon's but then again I risk spending the night with Stefan as well. I sigh. I should at least call Damon.
I unlock my phone and move to my contacts, instantly looking for Damon's number, I'm not even sure if he's finished with practice but I would phone. I dial his number and press my phone to my ear rising to my feet and closing the door to my room. It rings twice before it's answered.
"Hey babe." I hear Damon's voice that always sounds so happy to hear me.
"Damon…" I choke up as I say his name, realization setting in and all the possibilities now playing in my head as I start to cry, it's like the Hoover Dam broke, tears running down my face as I try to get myself under control but it's useless because the more I cry the more I think of the reason that I am crying.
"Elena? Are you okay? What's wrong?" I hear him say on the other line, he seems truly worried as he speaks.
"Could you come and pick me up?" I whisper into the phone as I sob violently into the phone. I couldn't tell him what's going on over the phone because all he would hear is my tears and I was far from done crying.
I had packet my overnight bag and I was ready, tear free for the moment as I waited on the porch for Damon to pick me up. Jeremy was already a safe distance from the house, because I could clearly hear my parents yelling at each other and believe me it was not good, I tried to block it out but that would only lead me to take a step further and further from the house.
I watch as Damon's Camaro pulls up and I rush towards his car without a second thou. I don't even look back towards the house as I almost jog towards his car, my overnight bag on my one shoulder and my school bag over the other. As I reach the car I pull open the passengers door and almost throw myself into the vehicle. Damon doesn't have time to get out or to greet me. I just throw my bags on his back seat and buckle up, locking in front of me.
"Elena?" He asks softly but I just keep my eyes on the windshield, if I look to him I was going to start crying and believe me my eyes were bright red and puffy already.
"Just drive." I say. He places the car in gear and he pulls away from the curb.
"To where?" Damon asks, I can see out of the corner of my eye that he's apprehensive, worried as he glances at me every now and again.
"Could we go to your house?" I ask my eyes remaining on the windshield.
"Okay." Was his answer. And the rest of the drive was in complete silence I don't think he knew what to do with me, or what the hell was going on and I felt bad about giving him the silent treatment but I knew if I opened my mouth then I was going to start crying again. And I would rather do that when I was alone with him.
When we get to his house he parks the car and he gets out as I unbuckle myself, he rushes towards me and he opens the door for me to get out. As I stand outside he moves to the back seat and grabs my bags, I want to stop him but I just watch him with big eyes as he places my overnight bag over his shoulder while keeping my school bag in his hand. He reaches towards me with his other hand and I grasp it tightly. We start to make our way to the front door. He opens the door and we both slip in. He leads me straight to the stairs and towards his room, leaving my hand only once to open his bedroom door.
We walk inside and I look around his room, nothing has changes since the first time I walked in here. He still had a queen sized bed with a silver comforter and black pillows. To the far side is a laptop, this time it was closed. He moves to his desk and he places my school bag on the floor and next to it he places my over-night bag. I wasn't sure that I would even spend the night here, I doubt his parents would allow it.
He turns towards me and opens his arms towards me. I frown at this but then the tears start up again and I rush towards him, he folds his arms around me pulling me as close as I can be. "Hey…" He whispers into my ear and I just start to cry louder. "What's wrong?" he asks as we stand in the middle of his room holding each other.
"My parents." I whisper and Damon pulls back as he stares into my eyes, he seems so blurry out of proportion with all the tears that I am currently crying. "My mom cheated on my father… they're fighting…" I say in between sobs and Damon just pulls me closer again and holds me against his chest.
"It's okay." He whispers into my hair, I close my eyes as I try to relax into his touch but it was too hard. Because there was so much running through my head at the moment. What was going too happened? Were they going to talk this out, would they work on it, would they separate? Divorce? I start to cry louder, what would happen if they divorce? What would happen to me and Jeremy? I feel Damon move us towards the bed and soon we are both on his bed. Him lying down with me cuddled up next to him, my head on his chest as I cry.
"Damon, I don't know what will happen now." I say as I grab a hold of Damon's shirt, my face hidden from the world outside as more tears roll down my cheeks.
"I don't know what to say to make you feel better Elena, but just know I am here for you. And just know that I'm not going anywhere." Damon says as he places his arm safely around me pulling me closer to him. I knew nothing he said would help or fix things because this was between my father and my mother, we had no control over what happened to them or what they would do.
It all depended on what they wanted and what they would do. Even thou I knew things would never be the same because I mean my mother cheated on my father with his brother, there was no going back from that. Yet I was the same, I had cheated on Stefan with his brother, only thing that was different was that I never slept with Stefan and I didn't plan to continue anything that once was between me and Stefan.
I know I made the choice to go with Damon and I would never regret that but the thing is this was my parents, they had been together for so long, yes it was true she did get pregnant and that is why they did get married in the end, but still what if my mother decided that she wanted Uncle John and she leaves my father? What if Uncle John was my biological father or Jeremy's or even both our fathers? Would that mean that my father would just leave us?
So many things ran through my mind and I didn't want to entertain any of the thoughts. But they kept on popping up. And it made things worse because it placed me in the scenario where I was my father and Damon was my mother. I shake my head from side to side ridding myself of the thoughts.
"I'm scared." I whisper to Damon and he only pulls me closer.
"I know. But it will be okay." Damon says back and I slightly pull from him to look into his beautiful blue eyes. They seems sad. "I'm going to be here for you through thick and thin okay?" Damon asks and I nod, my tears finally slowing down to the point where only a few stray tears remain.
"I know." I say taking in a deep breath.
"I love you." Damon whispered, the words seem to put me at ease somewhat as I relax against him again.
"I love you to." I whisper.
