Chapter 6: What do I do?

It was peaceful, quiet, relaxing. The atmosphere was comfortable, no awkwardness between the two. It had been a couple of days since Elena had discovered that Damon and Stefan were related. Thinking about it, it made a lot of sense. They both had a certain kind of aura to them, Damon's more exhilarating and exciting though. Closing her eyes, the brunette inhaled, listening to the sound of the waterfall invade her ears as she leaned her head back. Feeling fingers tangling in her hair, she opened her eyes, her chocolate eyes linking with the blue as she gave him a cheeky grin.

"Why do you have to go to school?" Damon questioned, raising an eyebrow as he twirled her hair around his finger slowly.
"Because I need an education Salvatore." Elena laughed as he leaned forward, pressing his lips against hers.
"I got enough education for the both of us." He smirked, pressing kisses along her jaw.
"I bet you do," Mirroring his smirk, she ran her fingers into his hair, gripping the raven strands as she pressed her lips against his, "But I gotta go and learn. Especially since I have a cheerleading competition and I'm pretty sure Caroline will rip my head off again."

Grinning, he looked out the window, watching the waterfall as she let out a breath and leaned into his hand that was still playing with her hair. Closing her eyes, she relaxed. What was he doing to her? Was he really trying to kill her? Licking her lip, she turned and kissed his hand.

"Can I ask you something?" Elena bit her lip and raised an eyebrow.
"Of course," He turned his attention to her, swivelling in the seat, "What is it?"
"Well, more than...one thing," Clearing her throat, she tilted her head, "Why didn't you tell me about Stefan?"
"You never asked...besides, I didn't think it was important. Do you tell me about your family?" He gave her a look.

"No, but you never ask." She replied with a smile as he shrugged.
"Exactly. Its the not asking that leaves so many questions out there."
"Alright Dr Phil." Elena rolled her eyes, laughing.
"What was the next question?" He leaned his elbow on the steering wheel, giving her his full attention as he listened to the sound of her heart skipping. It must of been something important.

"The night...we uhm...met," Clearing her throat, she bit her lip, "You...you called me Katherine, why?"

Damon stared at her, his breath catching in his throat as he went to open his mouth, but a shrilling sound rang throughout the car causing both to jump from the sudden noise. The brunette let out a sigh, digging into her bag as she answered it, pressing it to her ear.

"Hello?" Looking out of the window, she let out a breath.
"Where are you Elena? You are meant to be here early for practice!" Caroline yelled down the phone.
"Are you kidding me? It's two hours until the competition. How much practice do we need?" She frowned, the light in her eyes gone.
"We need more time than usual with you slacking this year! Get here now." The line went dead as Elena dropped her phone into her bag, a groan leaving her mouth as she covered her hands over her face.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, he watched her as he stroked his knuckles down her cheek, gaining a reaction from her as she leaned into him and uncovered her face, looking over at him. Grinning, he tilted his head and looked her over slowly, the cheerleading costume doing wonders for her body.

"Why don't you quit, hmm? You're obviously not happy." He told her.
"You haven't met my parents."
"Nope, not yet anyway." He winked at her as she laughed.
"Not anytime soon, trust me. The thought of me and you to them is a-" She draw her hand across her neck, imitating a neck slice.
"So, that's a no for us?" Grinning, he laughed as she gave him a smile.

"Is there an us?" Smirking, she bit her lip in wonder as she raised an eyebrow, drawing a husky laugh out of him.
"I guess sometime soon we will see, won't we?" Winking, he put the car into drive, shifting the stick, "I guess I better drop you to school."
"I suppose you better Mr Salvatore."

Elena brushed herself down as she walked into the hall, seeing the rest of the cheerleading teams standing around. Seeing Caroline and Bonnie, she made her way over as Bonnie grinned, skipping over to her as she pulled her into a hug.

"Hello you. Been with lover boy again huh? Mr dark and mysterious?" Bonnie laughed, nodding to Caroline, "Good luck with that."
"Thank you Bon, I'll be sure to make sure my head isn't lodged off my shoulders." Smiling, she walked over to Caroline.
"And she finally arrives." Caroline announces as the rest of the girls look up.
"She? What am I? The cats mother?" Dropping her bag down, she nodded at the girls with a smile as they returned it, getting back to their previous stretching.

"You're really pushing your time limit Elena. Your slacking with everything. Wonder boy has all your head in a dump." She rolled her eyes.
"Oooh...mr green monster on the back there Care? Jealousy? Really doesn't suit you. Being a bitch...well, yeah, you play the part well."
"Now now girls, lets just get this over and done with, alright? Let's win this." Bonnie stood between them, smiling as she looked at Elena.
"Sure...to win." Elena narrowed her eyes at Caroline, walking in the opposite direction as she began stretching.

The girls danced at the same time, forming a star as they performed the same steps, bring a clap to each step. Elena dance in the middle as she brought all the girls together. Caroline and Bonnie at each side of her as it came to the big throw. The brunette let out a breath and got into a position as they both lifted her and launched her into the air. Doing a wide star jump, Elena grinned, ready to be catched and groaned out in pain when she hit the floor with a bang. The hall was filled with audible gasps as Elena held a hand to her head, the pain coursing through her body. Bonnie bent down in a panic, wide-eyed as she pressed a hand to her back.

"Lena, Lena, are you alright?"
"Uhh." She moaned in pain, reaching down to her ankle as she stared up at Caroline, seeing no worry or care on her face, did she?
"It's alright, we will get you checked out okay." Bonnie told her, taking her arm over her shoulder as she looked at Caroline.
"Told you that you needed practice, did you listen? No." Elena glared at her.

"You did this! You dropped me on purpose!"
"Wow, go ahead. Accuse me of your bad cheerleading skills! It's not my fault you can't even land an air star jump right!"

Elena went to retaliate, but Bonnie dragged her away with a sigh as she shook her head, leading her out of the hall. The brunette leaned against her, moaning in pain as she felt like her body had been hit by a car. Landing on concrete from a height was painful and she felt broken. Right now. She could use Damon.

Lying on her bed, she listened to the piano playing from her iPod as she closed her eyes, relaxing. She'd taken at least more than 7 pain killers since she had gotten home from school. Clearing her throat, she stretched slowly, a wince leaving her as she looked over at her phone. What did she do? All she wanted to do was grab a baseball bat and whack it over Caroline's head, but what good would that do her?

Pushing herself up, she reached under the mattress and pulled out her diary as she opened it up and flicked through the pages, looking for the next entry date. Grabbing her pen from the side, she let out a sigh and flicked her pen against the crisp white paper, thinking about what she could write. What would she tell her diary today?

Dear diary,

Today was a day like no other. I started off with a smile on my face, the company only prolonging it. It ended in disaster as Caroline decided to drop me on my head. What was she thinking? Oh well, they say payback is a bitch, one day she will have it coming to her.

Anyway, I want to talk about something, well someone that is always on my mind and has been for a while now. That someone is Damon Salvatore. A guy with the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen, the oh so kissable lips that I can't pry my eyes away from. The dashing and gorgeous smile he gives me every time I say something lame or funny. He's something different. Something unexpected and I don't know what to do about it. Do I give in and chance it? Or do I prolong this torture and play? Do I want to play?

With him? I'd do anything, that's the weird thing. But, I need more. I need closure and the only one who can give it to me these days, is him. What do I do diary? Do I trust him, give him the chance to make me happy? Or do I run now while I have the chance? Oh diary, please...what do I do?

Elena
