"You need a leash." She stated simply, yet heavyhearted. Damon whimpered and the two just stood there for a while staring at each other. Damon's suddenly perked up again and ran upstairs with Elena hot on his tail. He ran start for the closet and after some digging and sniffing; Damon marched out with a leather collar and leash.
"Dave's collar! This is my neighbor's leash and collar. Jeremy and I used to dog-sit him!" Elena squealed over the new found item. Damon looked as though he smiled and walked downstairs with Elena following again.
"Rawl…?" Damon asked as he suddenly stopped in the middle of the stairs, and back tracked a few steps without Elena knowing.
Elena sighed as she stomped up the steps, trying to find Damon after he ran off. She searched the bathroom and Jeremy's room before coming to her own. He was on the bed, pawing Stefan's arm.
"He's on human blood again..." she started, catching his attention. "He didn't do anything, but he scared me."
Damon tiled his head at the girl and then growled down at Stefan.
"Damon, no! You're still a puppy and he could kill you with a flick of his wrist!" she yelled as she ran over to the bed and scooped him in her arms. She headed back to the door and out to her car, setting him in the passenger seat before pulling off.
"OK, Damon, be nice!" Elena said motherly as she dropped him to the ground. He wagged his tail and started sniffing everything right of the back. He managed to pull Elena towards a blonde female, making Elena bright red with embarrassment. Damon barked up at the lady. Loudly, she may add. The lady turned around quickly and Elena instantly recognized the bright blue eyes and that squeal.
"Elena!" Caroline squealed and embraced her in a bone crushing hug.
"Care, care, vampire strength..."Elena managed to choke out. Caroline instantly dropped her friend and smiled down at her. "What are you doing at the park?"
Caroline's smiled fell and she hung her head in shame. She stared down at the Earth, wanting to burn a hole in it to be swallowed whole.
"Care, what's wrong?" Elena questioned sweetly as she put a gently hand on the blonde's shoulder.
Caroline looked up and sighed, losing all happiness. "Stefan's been flirting with me and wanting to take me out. I said yes, but I was totally going to end it today!" Caroline pled with Elena.
Elena nodded. "It's fine, but Stefan's at my-"
"OK see you later!" A familiar voice shouted at someone in a van, cutting Elena off.
"Stefan?" Elena and Caroline said at the same time.
He immediately stopped running and hid the lilies behind his back, thinking it would help.
"Hi." he said when he made it to the two girls. "Elena, I was going to-"
"Save it." She stated vehemently. "Damon! Come on, we're leaving!" she called into the crowd of dogs. She saw him over on the opposite side of the park and she watched him for a little while.
She said him pee on the fake, stationary fire hydrant just for dogs and then a tiny Yorkie came past and took a good whiff of his rum. He spun around and growled at the female dog. She tried to lick his face, but he was already running in the other direction; away from her and to Elena. He was running so fast that he almost hit her when he tried to stop running.
"Damon! You got mud everywhere!" Elena complained as she looked at her ruined clothes and his now brown fur. She grabbed his leash and led him to the car, putting a beach towel on the seat so her car doesn't get dirty.
"Damon, you are now clean." Elena said as he hoped out the tub. His coat sparkled as he shook off the rest of the water. "Now, get out so I can get clean." Damon instantly understood and dashed from the bathroom.
Elena sighed and locked the door behind the dog. She peeled off the wet, sullied clothing and ran a warm shower.
Elena stepped out the shower and wrapped the plush blue around her thin frame and walked from the undersized bathroom. She strolled in her bedroom and didn't see Damon on her bed or next to her bed, so she dropped her towel and grabbed a bra and panties. She pulled on her panties quickly while keeping her back to the window and struggled a bit to put her bra on. She grabbed a pair of boy shorts and slid them on while finding an old band tee to put on too.
She turned her back to draw her curtains, but almost screamed at the sight. Damon was lying on her window seat and he was wagging his tail. He had seen everything. Everything that she worked so hard to keep hidden from him. Everything she told him no to a thousand times. He had seen it all. "Damon!" she screeched.
He simply smirked that puppy smirk of his and leaped to the bed. She rolled her eyes at him and jumped in bed with him. He laid one side, facing her, and she laid on the other side, facing him.
"Goodnight, Damon."
Hi... Did you miss me? No? Ok... You have every reason to hate me, but at least I had a good reason; I wanted to work on my other stories. I've uploaded tons of one-shots since I haven't updated and you should really read them all. And review! I still love you all and I hope you still love me too. :) There's just another chapter after this, so this story will be ending soon.
