Chapter 29

I look over at Jeremy and sigh, we were sitting on the bleachers watching whatever we were watching, well I had my eyes solemnly on Damon, who was busy practicing. I think Jeremy had his eyes focused on Vicki or rather all the cheerleaders that are practicing, ever since he declared his like of girls to me, on these same bleachers I couldn't help but think that all he had on him mind at the moment was girls.. "Mom's moving out." I say casually and look back towards the players on the field, Ric passing the ball successfully towards Damon.

Jeremy doesn't even bat an eyelash or seem a bit phased about that fact that our mother would be moving out soon, we have been speculating this for the past few weeks now because she was packing all her things, her clothes and other things. "I know, dad filed for a divorce." Jeremy says as a matter of fact and I frown. This was a new bit of information that I didn't know about.

"How do you know?" I ask and he finally takes his eyes of the girls to look at me, he seems as sad as I am currently feeling, this was a rather upsetting situation for the both of us, and it was depressing to thing that our family would be splitting up.

"His lawyer phoned the house yesterday, he said the papers were ready." Jeremy says and my heart sinks. They didn't even tell us that they would be getting a divorce, well dad didn't tell us, all I knew was that my mother was moving out after two agonizing weeks of yelling and screaming and fighting with each other, they just could not work out anything, and dad really took it hard but I never thought that they would divorce. "I mean I thought that it would happen but not this fast." Jeremy says and I nod my head in agreement.

"You know what that means right?" I ask as I look to the sky, it's clouded and it seems that the weather might be feeling the same way that we are feeling.

"Custody battle?" Jeremy asks and my heart breaks when he says this because he was so young, he shouldn't even be knowing about this. "I just know that I want to stay where you're staying." Jeremy says and I throw my arm around him pulling him into a soft embrace.

"That makes two of us." I say, and soon I feel his arms wrap around me and he just pulls me closer in a loving embrace, I can feel that he's shivering, and he's trying his back to hold back the tears that we desperately want to roll down our cheeks. I mean this has been a constant for the past two weeks, I knew I felt the same and the feeling between me and my brother was mutual.

He slightly pulls from me and his eyes meet mine, I can see that he's trying his best to be brave. "You think mom will be moving in with uncle John?" he asks and I find his question a bit surprising, but the same question has been floating around in my mind.

"I have no idea." I say before he fully pulls away from me and reclines against the back of the bleachers. To be honest I never thought that it would get this far that my mother would be moving out and my father will be filing for divorce. It was absurd to even think about it. We were the Gilbert family, we were happy and we were together and now everything just went to shit. I look from Jeremy to Damon and he's running another play that the couch taught him. I haven't spent any time with him since Ric's bathroom. I mean the situation at home was just too tense.

I couldn't invite him over and the thing is, when I asked to spend time with someone it was instantly shot down, so I saw him when he picked me up for school but that just happened the first two days of last week because my father was adamant that he wanted to take us to school and now every morning he would drop me and Jeremy off at school. So that cut 30 minutes of the time I had with Damon. I didn't even see him before school before the football coach wanted to put in double time. Then I only see him again at lunch. And yes we see each other every day at lunch but I mean we constantly have an audience. With Caroline and Matt and Bonnie and Hailey and don't forget Ric. We didn't have time for ourselves.

After school I would just disappear among the crowds and I would come to the bleachers and camp out here, neither me nor Jeremy wanted to go home straight away because we never knew what we would find. So then I would spend some time here on the bleacher and soon Jeremy would follow, and we would just sit here and wait. Then Damon would take us home, and by the time Damon drops us off mom and dad is home and the tension in the house is so thick that you can cut it with a spoon. And last Friday when I pleaded to them to go to Ric's Party it was another screaming match. I had to sit in my room and listen to music so I could prevent myself from listening to the yelling, and I would just browse Facebook, watching how all the people are enjoying their lives.

I just couldn't believe it, we were grounded or well it felt like that. "I hate this." I mutter and then Jeremy looks to me and he doesn't even seem surprised about the whole ordeal because we were going through the same thing.

"I know. Listen, I'm going to head home." Jeremy says and I frown because he never leaves early, he always waits for Damon.

"Why?" came my lone question.

"I could use the fresh air and I think you are dying to spend some one on one time with your boyfriend." Jeremy says and he has this knowing look on his face. I had a burning issue that I needed to speak to Damon about, and I just couldn't do it in front of an audience and I couldn't do it over our phone calls or over a text message. I don't say anything I just nod my head towards my brother.

But he leaves without saying another word. The thing was last Friday when I was forbidden to leave the house, I had no idea where Damon was, I mean I texted him a few times and I even tried to phone him but his phone was off. I didn't know if he was at the party or if he was at home or what the fuck was going on. And then there was this stupid rumour going around that Damon was making out with a random skank. I know it's absurd but it was all over the school, I was surprised that he hasn't mentioned it as of yet. I knew better then to believe the rumours but still it did make me question his whereabouts.

I look to the field and the team is still busy practicing. I huff a breath as I watch them move across the field, from one side to the other, I look to the side and the cheer squad had just disbanded and the cheerleaders are moving into different directions, disappearing one by one, Bonnie nor Caroline even look my way as they disappear, I don't even think that they know that I am up here. The only person who notices my presence is Damon who would occasionally look towards me with a side way glance.

I sigh but patiently wait for them to finish practice and then head towards the locker rooms. A few minutes later Damon emerges from the locker room and he makes his way over to me, he takes his time until he finally reaches the bleachers and he extends a hand towards me but I don't take it, I just regard his hand for the longest of moments and then shake my head from side, declining his invitation to pull me to my feet.

"What's wrong beautiful?" Damon asks narrowing his eyes at me and I can't help but raise a brow towards him, I look to my side before patting the bench next to me, we needed to talk even if that meant that I would be late at home, I already know that my parents will be yelling at me because I am late but this was important, my relationship with Damon was important.

"Sit down Damon." I say and he really looks surprised because I am referring to him on his name which I never do. Okay it's rare that I refer to him on his name but he just sighs and he takes his spot next to me, sitting rather close to me, his legs touching mine, his arm finds it way around my frame and he pulls me closer like he always does.

"What's wrong except for the obvious?" Damon asks and he knows about my parents, he knows ever little detail from the break up to the moving out, but nothing about the divorce. I must say that he seemed more frustrated than usual as well for the past two weeks.

I sigh and I want to roll my eyes so badly but I know Damon doesn't like it so I refrain from doing it. "Where were you Friday night?" I ask and he stills next to me, his arm still remains around me frame and it's like he's holding me together.

"I was at home." He breathes out and it seems like he's like, I don't know why I think that maybe it's the tone he uses when he answers me but something seems off.

"Are you sure?" I ask turning my head to look at him, he seems hurt that I would doubt him but he needs to know that there are people that wanted to sabotage our relationship, well there were like a few hundreds of girls praying daily for something to happen that might split us. I hear the rumours and the gossip and I hear the girls talking in the bathrooms, cooing over how an attractive guy like Damon could be into me. I questioned it a few times but I knew Damon and he loved me, and I loved him there was no two ways about it, even if it is early in the relationship.

"I was not at Ric's party, and I surely didn't make out with any girl. I know what they are saying but it's only rumours, I was at home, if you don't believe me as Stefan he was there with me, we were playing X-box." Damon sounds defensive and I can clearly understand why. I feel horrible for even mentioning it. I knew he would never do anything to hurt me, he wasn't like that well he used to be but he wasn't like that anymore.

"Sorry." I mumble snuggling into his chest hiding my face because this is a big embarrassing moment, how could I doubt him like that?

"Elena, I wouldn't do anything to jeopardise your relationship, you mean the world to me." Damon coo's as he softly wipe some stray hair behind my ear and I just nod my head. "And that will be happening this weekend as well if your father refuses that you come with me." He continues and I can't help but my heart just melts when Damon gets like this, I absolutely loved it.

"I doubt it, I don't know how long this will continue." I say with a huff and I am clearly frustrated with this, but Damon only pulls me closer and he kisses my forehead. I felt so hopeless at the moment, because nothing worked the way I wanted it to work and everything felt like it was going to hell.

"You want me to talk to your dad?" Damon asks and I frown at this because what would that help? I didn't even know why my parents was doing this, or well my dad because he was making all the decisions currently in the house.

"Let's just see what happens." I say turning towards him and I really missed spending time with Damon like this, alone to our own devise. We never had this anymore.

"Are you coming to the game tomorrow?" Damon asks curiously and I know that tomorrow was a big game for him because there will be scouts from both Duke and Texas state University. He was stressed about the whole thing and I could understand why, this was a big thing for him. But I haven't asked my father yet and I was scared that he might just say no. But I needed to support Damon, he needed me now more than ever and it wasn't in a sexual way but in a supportive way.

"I still need to ask my dad." I say sheepishly and I know that I have been delaying but I just didn't know how to approach my father with this.

"Elena I need you there." Damon pleads and his eyes are wide as he stares at me, he seem desperate but I knew he would be okay even if I wasn't there, Damon was a born leader and he would surely win over the scouts with his natural talent.

"I'll try my best okay?" I say with a hopeful smile but I can see that he has already given up home, that my father will say no like all the other times I tried to leave the house for the past two weeks. And I know that after the game, there would be a party at Ric's place which I doubt that I would be attending again, for the second time this month.

"Yeah. Let me get you home." Damon says and the sadness in his voice is almost killing me, I couldn't take it but I nod my head, but before he has a chance to even rise to his feet pulling me with him I place my lips to his in a heated kiss, I haven't had the chance to do this since two weeks ago and I missed ever second of it. I just wanted to be close to him. And we couldn't do this at lunch because I didn't want commentary while making out with my boyfriend, and I know that Bonnie nor Caroline would keep their mouths shut. When I pull back I look into Damon's eyes and I give him a small smile.

"Elena!" I hear my name ring throughout the house and I sigh, I was late for a few minutes. Like 5 minutes. My brother tried to cover for me and it would have worked if Damon had not pulled up in the drive way. My father didn't want to believe that I was at the library if Damon was dropping me off, I just couldn't believe him.

I rise from my desk in my room and make my way down to the living room, my father and my mother is sitting there waiting for me, they don't even seem happy about the fact that I just walked into the room but then again by the looks of it I was still in trouble, it seems for the past few weeks I have constantly been in trouble and I don't understand what I did wrong. I look from side to side and then take a seat on the couch, my parents are siting on the opposite side as they regard me for a moment.

"Yeah?" I ask a bit irritated about the fact that they were acting like children and it wasn't one bit healthy for me or Jeremy. I place my hands on my lap and look from my father who doesn't seem amused by my sarcastic tone and my mother who just seems expressionless.

"We need to talk." My father starts of and I can already imagine how this conversation would be going.

"Then talk." I say, this was really frustrating my father that I was so nonchalant.

"Me and your mother spoke, and she has decided to move out, both you and Jeremy will remain with me here in Mysticfall." I want to sigh in happiness because I was holding my breath on that one, I was wondering what would happened, as long as I stuck to Jeremy's side. I can't held but feel dreadful as well because this was reality now, and this was really happening. Mother was moving away from us.

"Okay." I say and I wonder where Jeremy was at the moment and why were they not addressing him as well like the last time, why were they only speaking to me while my brother remained in his room. "And?" I ask probing further into the situation.

"We are filing for a divorce." My mother indicated with a steady look but I look to my father with a disapproving look because he tenses somewhat as he diverts his eyes to look at something.

"Oh didn't dad tell you? The lawyer already phoned and the divorce papers are ready." I say and I am being a bit snappy because these past few weeks was complete hell thanks to them, and I just couldn't resist the remark because they had rubbed me up the wrong way so I felt like returning the favour.

I watch my mother and her eyes go wide as she looks to my father and he seems indifferent to my statement but I can tell that he is completely pissed of that I mentioned that bit of information, might he have wanted to tell my mother on his own? But I guess that they have this last subject to yell at each other, and as expected they start yelling at each other or well it's my mother and she's beyond livid at the moment. I just sigh I could have expected this or I could have avoided this by not telling them but with all the lying in this family it would better just to tell it like it was.

I flee from the scene and dart of towards my room, I think world war three just started in the living room but I can't be surprised. As soon as I get into my room I close the door and sigh, this was surely what hell would be like right? I walk to my desk as I start on my Language homework that I have yet to finish. After a while the yelling finally died down and I could hear the front door being banged and my mother's vehicle starting up. She was leaving… I felt shattered at that but I knew it would happen sooner or later. There was no delaying the inevitable.

A few second later I hear a knock on my door and look at the wooden item keeping the world out. "Come in." I say but I dread it right after the words left my mouth, my father was standing in the door way and he didn't seem one bit happy, I just sigh out of irritation and turn back to my books.

"Why didn't you tell me the lawyer phone?" my father asks and he seems cool and collected but I know that he was a ticking time bomb waiting to blow up. "Why did you feel the need to share that bit of information with you mother?" he asks and I can't help but to roll my eyes, I know it's disrespectful but I just can't help it.

"I'm sick of people lying in this house, I'm sick of the information that is being withheld." I say as a matter of fact turning towards my father who remains in the door frame slightly leaning against it for support. "She was bound to found out that you filed for a divorce." I say and then my father's eyes widen in surprise. I know that my eyes are watering and tears are threatening to roll down my cheeks. This was just a fucked up situation and I hated every moment of it.

"Elena it wasn't your news to share." My father replies crossing his arms over his chest, and he was right, I had no right to tell my mother about that but then again what was the point in hiding it. My parents were getting a divorce and it was going to tear our family apart. "I am very disappointed in you." My father says and as the words leaves his mouth the first tear spills from my eye lashes. "But there is another thing I need to talk to you about." My father says in a serious tone not even affected by my tears.

"What?" I ask in a soft tone, he adjusts himself against the door frame and he narrows his eyes at me, I wasn't going to like anything that came out of his mouth.

"You are grounded." I raise a brow at this, haven't I been grounded for two weeks now? I frown not sure where the hell this was coming from.

"Why?" I ask in disbelieve.

"You forgot the little stunt you pulled with Damon over that over weekend, and then you never went to Hailey to sleep at her place, you stayed over at Damon's house." My face falls as the words leave his mouth, how did he know I stayed over at Damon's house. "I don't want you seeing that boy anymore." My father says sternly and my eyes go wide, he couldn't do that. Right?

"You can't be serious dad." I say and I feel outraged about his words.

"Elena, he's bad news, I know what boys like him wants from girl like you and he's not getting it from my daughter." My father says and I shake my head because this cannot be happening. It's unreal and it feels like he just ripped out my heart and he was stomping on it, over and over again. I open my mouth, once, twice but no words come out. "Elena you're responsible, he isn't and in the end your heart will be broke. He's rubbing of his bad name on you." My father continues and my eyes just got wide.

"No." I say a bit more firmly with a determined look on my face, had my father gone complete insane with everything that was going on in his life.

"What?" my father asks pushing off of the door frame walking into my room.

"I said no! Damon is my boyfriend." I say rising to my own feet as I stare at my father in disbelieve.

"You're going to end up being a whore just like your mother." His words cut deeper than anything that has ever been said to me, it feels like he just stabbed me in my heart and he wiggles the knife from side to side just to intensify the pain even more. I could not believe that he just said that, that he referred to me as a whore that he said mom was a whore. I stare at him in disbelieve.

"It's not like that, and you know that." I spit at him and my words are like venom as I stare at him crossing my arms over my chest. "Damon is better than you think." I say and my father only narrows his eyes at me, he wasn't having any of what I was saying.

"My words are final Elena. You are grounded, and I forbid you to see Damon. He won't be picking you up, he won't be dropping you of, no more waiting for him in the evening, no more going to parties nothing." My father says and I can't stop the silent tears rolling my cheeks as I stare at him. "No more Damon." My father says. "I can't have him corrupt your mind, you have school to think of, you have a bright future ahead of you, I don't want to see you knocked up at the age of 17." My father says, I just can't believe him or this conversation but I don't stop the tears rolling down my cheeks.

"You know I'm more responsible than that." I bite back but he shakes his head.

"Elena you better listen or I will be sending you of to attend Saint Mary's Diocesan School for girls." I gasp in complete horror because that was uncalled for. Could he really do that? I mean that school was half way across the country and I just couldn't go there it would be absurd.

"Now you're threatening me?" I ask gritting my teeth. "This is ridiculous, and you will not tell me what to do. Besides your judging Damon on hearsay, you won't even take a bit of time to get to know him like I know him." I say narrowing my father, he was trying his double standards on me again and it would not work, he would not get the last say and I would NOT seeing Damon. He was my boyfriend, I care and love him deeply.

"Elena…." My father starts but I shake my head from side to side.

"Stop this bullshit. I'm with Damon and don't think whatever you say will keep me from him. Just because you and mom didn't work out, it doesn't mean that it would be the same for me and Damon, if you can't take some time to get to know him then I just suggest you bud out and just leave me be." I say as I take a step towards him I place my hand on my father chest and I start to push him out of the room. "So just stop this hypocritical bullshit." I say staring up towards my father and he just gives me this surprised looked. I was right, he was being a hypocrite, and I was my own person I needed to make my own mistakes and learn from them, he couldn't protect me. And besides I would never end up like my mother. I mean seriously that was just wrong.

He left without saying another word, but still as he left and he closed my door I couldn't stop these tears that travel down my face, he hurt me really badly and that was not what family did, they didn't hurt each other it was outrageous. It would take some time to forgive him for that jab in the heart.

"Invite Damon over for dinner tonight." I stare at my father in disbelieve as I rummage in the fridge to find some juice. I stop in my tracks and peer at him from behind the door that was currently open.

"What?" I ask a bit surprised by the fact that my father had just asked me to invite my boyfriend to dinner. I mean last night he was trying to tell me that I could never see Damon, that we should not be together but now he had a change of heart? What happened in the time span of the last 12 hours?

"Invite Damon over for dinner, tonight." I frown at my father, because today was the big game and I doubt Damon would want to come to dinner after the game.

"There is a football game today," I reply as a matter of fact and my father's eyes light up, not sure why though.

"Then we watch the football game and afterward I take both of you out to dinner." I frown at my father was he forgetting about Jeremy, and did he even know how absurd he sound at the moment? I mean this was a tad bit embarrassing if you ask me. But then again my father had a lot of time on his hands now, since mom was not going to be here. I can't believe she left without even saying goodbye. Not even to Jeremy and we all know Jeremy is her little black sheep.

"And Jeremy?" I ask looking back into the fridge looking for something to drink, my throat was thick and dry with the current change in atmosphere.

"Yeah, I'll take all three of you out. I mean it would be nice? Wouldn't it?" he asks and he seems so desperate that I just cave right there.

"I'll ask Damon." I say as I finally find the orange juice, I poor myself a glass and look at my father, he's fidgeting with the paper but he's not reading it, he just seems to look around from side to side and then his eyes focusses on me and he has this sad smile on his face, I know I was being hard on him and he's currently having a very troubled time, I shouldn't be adding to that. "What if Damon says no?" I ask casually and my father frowns at him.

"If he wants to get in my good books he better say yes." Was that a threat? I furrow my brows but I just nod my head.

"I'll call him quick." I say as I reach for my phone in my pocket, I pull it out and move to my contact list, clicking on my speed dials, Damon was my number one, I smile at that but press the dial button. It only takes a few rings until he picks up the phone.

"Hey beautiful." Damon says and I smile, just hearing his voice put me on ease, I mean I didn't even get a chance to speak to him last night, not that I didn't want to but I fell asleep and I didn't hear my phone so he might be a bit angry at that but I can't seem to hear any anger in his voice as he speaks to me.

"Hey, listen up do you wanna do dinner tonight? My dad wants to take us out after the game." I say and I feel nervousness wash over me as I listen to the other side and it goes completely silent. I don't know how Damon would react to this because it was clearly a first for both me and him.

"Sure, that would be great." I hear Damon and I frown because I can't tell if he's faking this but I smile to my father nodding my head towards him. "Will he be coming to the game as well?" Damon asks.

"Hold on, let me ask." I say into the receiver and I press my phone to my chest even thou I know Damon can still hear us. "He's asking if you're going to come to the game as well?" I ask my father and he seems sceptical for a moment looking down to the newspaper in his hand, my parents usually went, well sometimes, okay they didn't go to games because neither me nor Jeremy was into sports or cheerleading or anything.

"Is that an invitation?" my dad asks and I don't know what has gotten into him but I nod my head yes. "Sure." My dad says and then I sigh, I didn't want to watch the football with my dad but okay, we were going to do this.

"He says sure." I say into the phone and I listen to Damon on the other side because he has gone completely silent.

"Okay. So I'll see you when you get to school?" he asks and I forgot that they wouldn't be practising this morning because of the game that would be taking place later today.

"Yeah see you in a few." I say and I end the call without any further delay, this day was going to be so weird, I already knew it.
