Part 9
"Family of Elena Gilbert?" a nurse said a little loud made Damon snapped from his thought. He's been waiting for her recent condition for almost three hours. Bonnie, Caroline, Stefan and Alaric came about an hour ago. Bonnie told him that Elena's parents, aunt and brother would come with morning flight.
"Uh, we're her friends" Bonnie stood up in front of her.
"I'm sorry honey, only family allowed to listen to what the doctor have to say" She gave her a small smile.
"Me, I'm her...fiance" Damon slowly walked up to her.
"Okay, follow me" Damon gave the three of them a look before followed the nurse.
"Dr. Fell is ready for you now" She opened the door and Damon stepped in.
"Hi, I'm Dr. Meredith Fell", she smiled, "and you are?"
"Damon Salvatore. Elena's fiance"
"Well, Mr. Salvatore, you have nothing to worry about then. Ms. Gilbert doesn't have any serious injuries. But sadly I have to informed you that her left ankle is broken and her right rib have a little crack but it's fine. It usually takes a month or two to recover. That means she have to bed resting and have someone to look out for her" She said with a smiled to reassuring him.
"Is that it? But she landed pretty hard"
"It's a miracle . Sometimes you just need to take a leap of faith. And maybe she was stronger than you think" She finished her explaination, Damon murmured something that sounds like thank you but she didnt hear it. They make a pretty cute couple, the doctor thought smiling.
When Damon got out of the room, Caroline, Bonnie, Stefan and Alaric came to him. He explained what the doctor just told him. Caroline let out a relieve sigh, so did Bonnie.
"See, you got nothing to worry about brother" Stefan tapped his big brother shoulder.
"But I'm still curious about the accident. Someone definitely hit her on purpose. The car was slow but when it get near her it started to move faster" Damon frowned his eyebrows.
"We'll talk about that later, Damon. All we need to figure out right now is how the hell we can confront her to stay put and not doing anything" Caroline said lazily.
"Uh, Care I think you need caffeine. Let's go" Bonnie took her arm and Stefan followed them. Ric moved to the corner when his phone buzzed and he picked it up.
"Excuse me, can I see Elena Gilbert now?" Damon asked when the same nurse came to his way.
"Sure, she's in room 217"
Damon dragged his feet and trying to find room 217. When he found it, he took a deep breath, calmed himself and slowly open the door handle.
There she was, laying in bed with all white hospital outfits. He walked up to her and surprised to see bandages on her forehead and her left cheek. But she could still manage to be the prettiest woman his eyes has ever landed on. Her left ankle in a cast up to the knee. Her olive skin was a little pale, her eyes still closed so he couldn't see her beautiful doe eyes.
He carefully caressed her right cheek, it still feel soft.
"Don't ever scared me like that again, Elena. You didn't know how much I scared I couldn't see your eyes open ever again" He whispered. He pulled out a chair and sit beside her, still caressing her cheek. "It's okay, take your time. I'll be here when you wake up" He slowly put her right hand on his and hold it, he put his head over it and he drifting to sleep.
Elena hesitantly open her eyes, it felt heavy but she tried until the sun shone through the window so she closed her eyes again. She felt like a thousand truck hit her body million times, she was never feel this sore and tired before. That was when she realized someone hold her right hand, she looked down and found the raven haired man sleeping beside her. She slowly stroked his hair, it still feel a little hurt but she didn't care. Once, twice, three times she did it enough to wake him up.
"Argh..what time is it?" Damon mumbled as he rubbed his eyes.
" I think it's 8 or 9" Elena answered hoarsely.
"Elena? Elena! You're awake, thank God" He touched her cheek and she smiled, "I should go call the nurse now"
"No, later it's fine Damon. You've been here all night? What happened to me?"
"What exactly do you remember?"
"I was walking towards you then everyone started to scream, I was hit by that SUV, wasn't I?" She asked bitterly.
"Yes, but the doctor said you're fine. Well, your left ankle is broken, and your right rib cracked. Your forehead and left cheek scarred, but that just it. She said it'll be recover at least 2 months, so you can't do anything besides sleep, eat in bed and you can only stand up when you need to go to the bathroom" He smirked teasingly.
"And why's that make you happy?" She teased back.
"I could play nurse with you " He's grinned wider only made Elena laughed then stop, she put her hand on her stomach.
"You okay? Your stomach hurts?" He said worried.
"No, just remind me not to laugh so hard for this 2 months, would you?"
"Promise me, you'll tell me if anything hurt okay?"
"I promise, Damon"
"So, you called me yesterday you have something to talk about. What is it?"
That question hit her. She was supposed to ask him the truth about him and Katherine.
"Uh...I was gonna ask you about Katherine" She said quietly.
"Katherine? What about her?"
"She was furious when she found out I was on date with you. I thought you and her were over, am I wrong? Am I missing something here?"
"Can we not talk about this now?" He said awkwardly.
"No, I wanna know it now"
"Elena..."
"No Damon, tell me. Now" She said stubbornly.
"Well, if you insist," He sighed and brought the chair closer to her bed, " It all started when..."
"Can we just go to that bar?" Alaric whined.
"We'll go if you stop whining. I'm the one who just got dumped" Damon smirk.
"Yeah, like you care about her. Rose is hot, why would you do that to her?"
"Ric, life is about having fun. And it's definitely not fun if we stop chasing the girls, cmon let loose man" He grabbed his jacket then got out of the car. The bar was full of people, like someone had a party inside. Once they got in, many girls was dumbfounded to see Damon and his charm, he just smirked and made his way to the bar, so was Ric.
"Two scotch please" Ric said. He looked at Damon who already flirting with the girls, he just shook his head.
"So, Hot Stuff, tell me what are you doing in this such a bored town?" One of the girls came to Damon as he talk with the other. She was fine, sexy even. Her curl hair was fell over her back, she wore red stilettos, her red dress was simple but still made her the hottest girl in the room.
"Well, you know, got bored on uptown so came to downtown. What's your name?" He gave her the eye thing and his sexy smirk.
"Katherine", she purred, "and you are?" she caressed his jaw.
"Damon, what are you even doing in this bored town?"
"My sister have a lot of friends here, her name's Rose"
"Rose? Rose Gilbert?" He asked, raised his left eyebrow.
"Do you know my sister?"
"She just dumped me over the phone" He said casually.
"You are Damon Salvatore, aren't you?" She smirked, "So what do you say, Damon, let's just ditch my sister and we can go on our adventure?"
"I'd say, let's go" he grabbed her hand towards his car. He texted Ric to tell him he left with a girl and asked him to go straight to their hotel. After shoved his phone to his pocket he kissed Katherine full on her lips. Once they inside of the car, they somehow managed to get to the back of the car. They ripped each other's clothes and forget about tomorrow.
2 months after the affair...
"Stefan, meet Katherine, my girlfriend" Damon said proudly as Katherine step forward and reach Stefan hands, smirked seductively at him. They were on their Father's party for celebrate 15th years of success.
Without his knowledge, that little acquaintanceship made his relationship with Katherine fall apart.
2 hours after the acquaintanceship...
"We shouldn't be doing this" Stefan murmured against Katherine's lips, she nodded but they kept doing it.
They were in Stefan's room while Damon was busy handling the crowd at his Father party. Katherine told him she needed to go to the restroom. When she was about to leave she saw Stefan and that made her desire of him getting stronger. So she grabbed him and kissed him hard. Itrefers tothe thingsthat willdestroy the Salvatore brothers.
They started to ripped each other's clothes without breaking the kiss. The kiss got heated when they heard the door open. It revealed furious Damon with his fists clenched.
"What the hell?! Stefan what are you doing?" Damon yelled furiously, he went to Stefan stood form and punch him in the face.
"No Damon! It wasn't his fault. I'm the one that kissed him first" Katherine said as she hold helpless Stefan.
"What?! No, you love me!"
"Yes, but I love him too, we just met but I know it"
"Okay, now choose! Me or him?"
"I can't I choose both of you"
"Are you out of your mind? You can't have both of us!" Damon frowned.
"I can! I always get what I want" She screamed.
"You are definitely one crazy bitch! We're done!" Damon yelled and cursed as he left the room ignored Katherine's called him over and over again.
Elena listened carefully as Damon told her the truth. Sometimes she gasped when she heard what Katherine did to the Salvatore brothers. She couldn't believe her sweet,well now a bitch, step sister could do something like that to them.
"Is that it?" Elena asked when Damon finished.
"Yes" He answered briefly.
"Okay, I'm really sorry on Katherine behalf. I couldn't believe she would do something like that to you and Stefan. But how can you and Stefan are like...real brothers now?" She said slowly.
"Well, after she left the day after. I couldn't even looked at Stefan's face. We spent about 2 months apart. I lived with Ric and he went to live at the Penthouse. I spent my times thinking and drinking. I was thinking that Stefan was my only brother, I couldn't just abandon him like that, he was just graduate from his college. He didn't have a job, so I called him and asked him if we can meet and we talked. Well, with a punch or two, we were back to...normal" He smirked at the end.
"I'm glad you two can worked it out like a gentlemen" She smiled and hold Damon's left hand, "No wonder you hate her so much"
"Gentlemen? If you could see we were back then you wouldn't say such thing" He grinned and hold Elena's hand tighter.
"I wanna tell you something too, since we're being honest to each other" She said slowly.
"Okay, shoot"
"I was working for NY Daily. The day I met you at the bar, your father fired me. I was so embarassed because I got fired on my first job so when I know you're Giusseppe Salvatore's son I had this little dilemma. And that's why I didn't call you after our first date" She said sheepishly, and looked down at the floor.
"What? Just because of it? Elena, everybody always got fired on their first job. Hell, even I did. My first job was a chef assistant in one of restaurant in Italy, he got me fired after 4 months" He chuckled and shook his head. Elena laughed at him too.
Suddenly, the door opened when he was about to kiss her knuckles. It revealed Elena's family, four of them.
"Elena, baby! Oh my God! What happened to you?" The woman seemed she still in her late thirties, brunette just like Elena's shouting and surprised when she saw her only daughter lay on her back looked really fragile on the hospital bed. Elena released Damon's hand and Damon suddenly stood up.
"Mom, I'm fine. And stop shouting or nurse can get you out of here" Elena said calmly.
"Fine? How can you say that, hunny? You're in hospital bed, with bandages on your forehead and cheek, plus a cast in your ankle up to your knees?!" Said the blonde woman hysterically.
"Aunt Jenna, I thought you're the one supposed to be calm and quiet while my Mom is the one who supposed to be hysteric. Not that I'm complaining" Elena grinned and sent a "help me,now!" glare to Damon.
Damon cleared his throat, "Uh, excuse me but Elena really need to rest, the doctor told me"
"And who are you?" The brown-haired man and a height that is almost equal to Damon spoke, raising his eyebrows.
"Damon Salvatore, long time no see" A cold voice came from behind Jenna. Damon would recognize that everywhere. It's very similar to Katherine's irritating voice actually.
"John Gilbert? Of all the Gilberts in this world, I assumed you're Elena's father" Damon said firmly.
"What is going on here? Elena is hurt we don't need any of this now do we?" Miranda raised her voice and glared to both of them, "Damon, right? I think you need to leave. Bonnie told me you've been here all night? You need to rest too, thank you for took care of Elena" She gave him a warm smile and Damon nodded.
He bent down and kissed Elena's forehead and Elena's gave him his favorite smile of hers, "Please get better faster, I'll be back later" He sent her his trademark smirk and left.
There is so much secrets that I'm not ready to tell you Elena, I'm sorry maybe when I'm ready I'll tell you, Damon promised himself as he walked out the door.
So, the italic words is flashback and I used google translate a lot and I'm sorry if there's any mistakes.
PS: Many of you told me that Katherine is a cold hearted bitch who don't get to be happy, so I keep Stefan with Caroline! YAY! the reason I want Katherine to be happy is because, sometimes people deserves second chance and happiness in their lives. No matter what they did in the past. So thank you for sharing me your thoughts.
Don't forget to reviews! :)
