Disclaim: I do not own Vampire Dairies. Or any songs, movies or artists or phones or phone applications I refer to in this fanfiction.
Hello. So Guys I was phoned last week Friday and I received some bad news. My little furbaby passed on. It is a rather difficult week for me even now, one week later and I still struggle, because my cats are my children. I had no idea what I wanted to write for this chapter and I had no inspiration what so ever. I apologize for that and if the chapter seems a bit of or short, I apologize. I'm really having writers block on this story and I feel so bad for the late updates or lack of updates. Please forgive me. And it doesn't help because I have recently been trolled as well by an anonymous guest who writes rather nasty reviews which is not needed. Yet again I am not forcing you to read my stories if they suck so much. But your words will not stop me from writing to the other people who actually likes my writing.
A few shout outs:
- I just want to thank kfulmer7, Margie, Until Delena Comes Back, brumfz, my lovely guests who remain anonymous, I love hearing from you. Thank you Jairem and Dove and Dannisita and elizaxbethx3.
- Dove – I actually stopped watching Vampire Dairies after Season 6 but I believe that D&E will always be together, they are just meant to be. Sorry for the late update thou but I had a very shitty week. But D&E will always find a way back together.
- elizaxbethx3 - The story should be present day all the way I am sorry if I am confusing you, I do apologize for my tenses and spelling errors.

Chapter 27
I didn't want to go to school. I just didn't want to go, I mean yesterday I could spend the whole day with Damon in his bed and we just sat and watched movies and we just… we were just us. I wanted to be 'just us' today as well. But I couldn't just stop, not going to school. I had to go, there was work I needed to do or I would do a lot of catching up. Not that it even bothered me but I was in no mood for all those people. Have I become an introvert? Had I changed so drastically that all I wanted to do was either be by myself or with Damon? Could I be that selfish? I couldn't do that to him. He still had to focus on his education as well. I mean he only had this year left.
More like a few months, he had a few months left here at this school before he would be off to college who knows where. Yes I know I said that I would not think of this topic for a while, until it was actually time to pack his stuff and I was standing in the driveway waving him off as he disappears. What would happen then? I mean surely with all this drama at home my parents were bound to split, I wouldn't stay with Damon if he cheated on me during our entire relationship. I would leave him even if it hurt. But I know he would never do such a thing to me. I would never do it to him.
But here we were, in Damon's car on our way towards the school, I didn't want to see anyone, I doubt that my friends could cheer me up at this moment. The past few hours I have been held captive by my own thoughts, they lingered on the fact about my parents, they lingered on the fact that I only had a few months with Damon. I feel his hand on my thigh and I turn to look at him, he gives me a supportive smile and I return it, even if is fake as hell.
"Have you thought of college yet?" I ask as I look to the side, my mind felt like it was focusing on the world passing outside, Damon's silence only makes me regret asking. But I finally look at him and he has a lazy smile on his face.
"Well I might get a scholarship at Texas State University and there is another one but nothing we should be worrying about now." Damon replies, his one hand remaining on the steering wheel as his other remains on my thigh. It doesn't seem to bother him that he might be leaving me behind, what would happen then? A long distance relationship? I didn't know how I felt about that idea. But I push my feelings aside.
"Well which would be the best option?" I ask as I look back to the windshield and I stare out at the world passing us by. I needed to take his thoughts into consideration as well. This was his future that we were talking about.
"Texas State. I mean if I could get a football scholarship there I would be made." I listen to his world and it scared me that his best option for his future was so far away from where I would be. What would I only see him every other weekend and over break? I didn't want that, I don't think that I would be able to be okay with that. "But then again I can't always just rely on my sport for a career. Do you see yourself as an NFL girlfriend and wife?" I go pale at his words, I didn't want that. But it makes me laugh neither the less.
"No… You can't do that to me." I say with a little smile looking to him. "But what line of work would you be interested in?" I ask truly wondering what he would be interested in.
"You're going to laugh at me if I tell you." He replies and I frown, he gives me this wicked grin before winking at me. "A male stripper…." I think my jaw hit the bottom of the car floor when I hear this but he only starts laughing at me. "Joking. I want to study English Literature and maybe a bit of phycology. I want to become a therapist." At this I frown, I never knew that. I mean over all Damon didn't like other people and now he wanted to listen to them, help them with their problems. It seemed farfetched in a way but if this is what he wanted I needed to support him. "And you?" he asks as we take a turn and we are nearing the school now.
"Not sure if I want to study, but maybe something like human resource management." I say, like I have mentioned before I really had no idea what I would be doing in my future, or what I would do after school, I have never really thought about it I look down to my lap, maybe I should take time and start thinking about this.
"HR?" Damon asks and he seems surprised by my choice. Like I said I didn't really think about it so it wasn't set in stone yet, I still had 3 year to think about this, 2 years tops. I still had time, his time was running out.
"We'll see." I say and then finally he parks in his usually parking spot and the car's engine shuts off. "What will be in-store for us today?" I ask as I look at the crowds of people standing around in the parking lot waiting for the bell to ring, we weren't late not early, we still had some time to kill before we even had to leave the car.
I reach for the car door and open in pushing it open as Damon gets out as well and he makes his way towards the boot to get our bags. Once I am out and about I close the door and stand of to the side, against the side of the car. Damon moves to me and he places my bag on the ground next to my feet as he places his arm around me and he pulls me to him, holding me closely.
"Not sure yet, but whatever is to come we well handle it together." Damon says, I lay my head on his chest and I just relax into his touch, I feel his lips on my forehead in a loving gesture, his lips linger on my skin for a few seconds before I look to him and I give him a lazy smile, reaching up on my toes as he places his lips to mine, lightly kissing me. There was only a few things that can get my mind of stuff, and Damon's lips were one of those few things. I pull from him and just place my hand on his.
"Elena!" I sigh when I hear the voice that just called my name and I open my eyes looking towards the other side of the parking lot as I see Caroline, Matt, Bonnie and Hailey make their way towards us. Something seems out of place, well the thought that Caroline was even speaking to me was out of place, she should still be angry at me, we should still be in the 'not talking to each other' phase. Damon doesn't even falter, his arm remains around me as he keeps me in place.
"Hey…" I half great, half say as I look to the group of people now standing in front of me. I wasn't even sure what to say or why they were here, why did they want to speak to me unless they were going to try and get me away from Damon. I figure that while I still had time with him, together with him, I should question it, I should live in the moment right.
"Could we maybe speak?" Caroline says and she seems somewhat awkward, that 'I'm going to bite you head off' look not even coming to live once. She almost seems concerned as she looks to me, but both her, Bonnie and Hailey have the same looks on their faces. They seem concerned.
"Okay." I say but I don't move because whatever she had to say to me she could say in front of Damon. I mean we were almost joined at the hip. But then again I didn't feel like going off into the distance where Caroline can give me the 'Don't date Damon' speech, if she wanted to talk to me she could do it right here were I was currently in my comfort zone, and I needed that comfort zone at the moment, just for a bit of extra support that Damon was offering.
"Could we maybe do it without an audience?" Caroline asks and I give her a sceptical look, I knew she would say something like that but there was no way I was going to move from Damon's side.
"No." I mumble snuggling closer into Damon's embrace. I didn't have time for this childishness. "If you want to talk to me we can do it right here." I somewhat mumble, Damon's are is still securely around me holding me in place. I watch Caroline, and for a few second it seems that she's contemplating whether or not to just not tell me what she wanted to talk about.
"Are you sure?" I hear Damon asks as he places his lips to my temple in a sweet reassuring gesture. I keep my eyes on Caroline, I didn't want any part of her rants but maybe this was a bit personnel and they didn't trust Damon, that I could understand.
"You have something better to do?" I ask as I glance at him and he has this small sad smile on his handsome face.
"Nope but I need to talk to Ric for a second." Damon says. I sigh, he was giving me my privacy that Caroline so desperately want, but I finally give in and I loosen my grip around Damon. He kisses my temple one last time before unwrapping his arm from me and taking a step to the side. "Blondie if you upset her, just for a mere second I will be all up in your face." Damon warns before he finally takes a step away from the group. I almost laugh at that but I didn't have it in me to even smile. I watch as he slowly steps to the side and soon he's with Ric talking away.
"What Caroline?" I ask and I know I am being rude but I just didn't have the energy to entertain her right now or any of her snide remarks that I know is coming. I didn't even want to be here, I didn't want to come to school. But here I am, I couldn't stay away from school forever.
Caroline sends me a sad smile as she opens her arms and she walks to me wrapping me in her embrace, I am shocked to say the least, I don't wrap my arms around her just yet because this is how she was testing the water. "Are you okay?" Caroline asks as she holds me against her tall frame and I sigh, was I okay? Was I over reacting about this whole ordeal? I mean my mother has been cheating on my father, it wasn't me, it actually had nothing to do with me but the fact that my parents might split up was a possibility, I didn't even want to think about everything that could happen and that probably would happen. I know my father will demand DNA tests and he would want to know who fathered both myself and Jeremy, what would happen if they split up and I wasn't even my father's daughter? Would we stay with my mother or with my father or what, everything was just so confusing.
"I don't know." I find myself replying which only leads to Caroline hugging me even closer.
"I'm sorry about how reacted the other night and this weekend. I'm so sorry Elena." I pull back a bit frowning, what was she sorry about? Were we even on the same level now or what? "I mean I didn't expect you and Damon to start a relationship, I didn't expect you actually getting to know him and like him." Caroline continues as she crushes me against her chest.
"It's ok." I mutter as I finally wrap my arms around the skinny blonde. "You didn't know and it's ok." I find myself saying, we were talking about two different situations that wasn't even relevant to one another. I was thinking and talking about my mother who was cheating on my father when she was speaking about me and Damon. I should have guessed, but I should have noticed because she wouldn't know about my mother, I haven't spoken to Caroline and I only found out on Monday when we were still on the not speaking to each other terms. I sigh as I feel another pair of arms wrap themselves around me. That was Bonnie most likely. "Just forget it. Me and Damon, we are together. And I just hope you guys can accept that." I mutter and I can almost feel them smile.
Both girls pull from me and Caroline smiles towards me and then I look to Bonnie she still seems sceptical about the whole thing. "You're together? Like for longer than a week?" Bonnie asks and I know what she actually wants to know.
"Yes, we are in a committed relationship with each other that will last for as long as we both will try." I say folding my arms over my chest.
"This is just… I don't know mind boggling." I hear Matt say to the side and it goes completely quiet for a few seconds until we all start laughing at the fact that Matt used with words 'mind boggling', it actually sounded so cute coming from him that we could not stop laughing.
"So tell us how long have you two been… getting to know each other?" Caroline asks and she ensures that she chooses her words correctly because she knew not to press my buttons. I look to the side and I can see Damon off to the side talking to Ric about something, he looks to me giving me a small smile and I return his smile as I look back to my friends.
"Well I did date Stefan so I did talk to Damon, and well we just hit it off, and last Monday when Damon took me home we talked about it and we just figured we would see where things lead." I say nonchalantly even thou I know I am not telling the whole truth but the truth was overrated and would be pulled out of proportion when it came to my group of friends. And I don't think I was ready to tell them that I already had did the deed with Damon. That would be mind-fucking. For now it was a slow go with any information that she was going to share with her friends.
"But you official started dating Saturday?" Bonnie asks, I just nod my head 'yes'. I look towards Hailey who seems to be smiling at me, she hasn't even said anything, well she already knew all of this so what could she possibly say?
"You two make a strange couple but you guys look good." Caroline says.
"Thank you Care." I say and then I look back to where Damon is, Rebekah is with him and Ric and she's busy talking to them about something that she seems unhappy about. I feel a hand lightly touch my arm and look to who it belongs but I only see Hailey's reassuring smile as she looks towards me. "What's going on with Rebekah?" I ask as I look over my shoulder once more to where I can see my boyfriend and his best friend.
"I have no idea, I mean she was looking for Damon yesterday but she didn't say why." I listen to Hailey and turn somewhat to face the. I watch as I see Rebekah ranting, signalling with her hands in each and every direction, she does not seem one bit happy as she continues to talk to my boyfriend and he doesn't seem to be somewhat interested in anything that she has to say. But there is a point where he looks to her and he frowns deeply as she crosses her arms over her chest. Damon looks up and his eyes meet mine for a mere second before he looks back to Rebekah and now he's the one talking. "Think we should go and here what she has to say?" Hailey asks and I absentmindedly nod my head as I frown. I lean over and grab my school bag placing in on my shoulder as I start to make my way towards Damon.
As we get closer I can hear him talk. "… I think you are telling me a bullshit story." I look towards him and then to Ric who seems to be frowning as well as he listens in on the conversation.
"I'm dead serious." Rebekah counters as I am finally in ear shot, Damon looks up to me and he automatically reaches towards me with his hand until I take it and soon I am next to his side and he's holding me again. Rebekah gives me a glare as she assess our new position and the addition to our group. "She's about two months if I am correct." What were they even talking about and why that was the question that popped into my head?
"It's probably a rumour, that you shouldn't even be talking about right now. I mean it's none of your business." Damon continues and I can see Ric seems to be in a state of complete shock as he stands of to the side, he's not listening anymore.
"What are you talking about?" I ask, Rebekah raises a perfectly manicured eyebrow at me as she regards me for a few seconds, contemplating whether she should tell me or not.
"Jenna might be pregnant." Rebekah says and at this my eyes go wide as I look to Ric. What? That could not be true, I mean I spoke to Ric last week and he said that everything was fine, it was just a scare. "Me and my mom saw her in the pharmacy buying some pregnancy tests over the weekend." It could not be, my niece Jenna could not be pregnant it was just an absurd thought all together.
"I doubt it." I say looking towards Caroline and the other who seem just as shocked. "I mean Jenna is careful." I say trying to stand up for my niece. All colour is now drained from Ric's face as he continues to stare of in the distance. Hell what if she is pregnant? What if it wasn't a pregnancy scare and she was really pregnant? I could already imagine my parents sitting me down and telling me that Jenna is pregnant and how bad and that I should not end up like Jenna. I could see my father threatening Damon if he was to come near me. But it could all just de a false alarm and we were worried and panicked about nothing.
"Yes Rebekah. I know Jenna and she wouldn't be pregnant, if she was she would have shown signs already." I listen to Bonnie as she too tries to stand up for my niece in question.
"I'm just telling you what I saw. Elena you better be careful that you don't end up like your niece thou, now that you're dating Mr. Can't-keep-it-in-his-pants." I'm not even sure how to react to that, I just stare towards Rebekah as she smirks towards me I open my mouth to say something, but stop as soon as I hear Hailey start to speak.
"Fuck of Becka. Not everyone who's with Damon want's to sleep with him."" Hailey says rolling her eyes. I actually want to laugh at that but I keep it to myself.
"Besides every one isn't a whore like you, you wanted to jump onto his boner while you were still doing his brother." That was Caroline, I just smile as I look to my friends, and they were actually standing up for me and Damon which was rather sweet considering that they hate him, or is it dislike? I'm currently not sure how they feel about my boyfriend but as long as they were standing up for us, it was the only thing that mattered.
"And we all know Elena would wait before she ever sleeps with him, she has morals like that." Bonnie says and now I fully want to laugh because if they only knew, that I was already that intimate with Damon, that I had slept with him in both way, that I had jumped on his bone. However you wanted to put it, I did have sex with Damon but no one had to know that. No one needed to know that besides me and Damon because we were the two people who got intimately involved not others, and this was no threesome or orgy. But the less they knew the better I know that people would start to speculate and there would be rumours but hell it would be okay.
"You heard that Rebekah? My girl has standards and morals, something you lack. So go and bother my brother with all your nitty gritty shit," Damon finishes as he pulls me closer placing a kiss to the top of my head. Yeah his girl had moral that she broke the minute he steps into the room, and standards that has been set high because he was the high standard there was. I was over all happy, now that my friends had my back and supported my relationship with Damon I was happy. But that didn't mean things at home would get any better…
