PART 10

"Hey honey, I just need to go to the coffee shop, you'll be okay for just another fifteen?" Jenna's voice came into Elena's ear as she begin read her brand new magazine her Mom just bought.

"Yeah, sure. Mom left ten minutes ago to grab some clothes, John and Jeremy in the cafeteria, I'll be fine. And can I get Latte please?" Elena said.

"Yeah, sure. Talk to you later kay?" She hang up and Elena put her phone on the table beside her.

It has been a week since the accident. Her family still stay in the city except John but he came back yesterday. His wife, Isobel, Katherine and Rose's mother, was okay with John staying in New York for a while. Katherine is still awol. They couldn't reach her phone, they asked her friends, they visited her usual hang out place in New York but she wasn't there. John tried to call the police when last night Katherine called and said she is fine. She told them that she is staying in an old friend house and she couldn't see Elena because of the job interviews.

Caroline and Bonnie visited her everyday. Sometimes they brought magazines, DVDs, or just coffee but that made her heart feel warmer knowing her bestfriends cared so much about her.

Stefan, and Alaric visited too. Turned out Alaric was the guy Jenna always talking about, such a small world she said. But she rarely saw Damon. Stefan said Damon couldn't leave the office because of his crazy schedule. But Elena wouldn't believe him. Since his no-friendly meeting with John, he seems avoided her. When he called he just ask her how was she doing or just say hi. And when she called him, he would just say that he's busy and he'll call her later. Something is fishy.

When she was about to call Damon, for the fourth time today, someone knocked on her door.

"Come in"

Someone she thought would never show up came through the door.

"Katherine! Where the hell were you? We were so worried about you" She said as she tried to sat up.

""Been busy. I've heard you had an accident but I couldn't just came, you know job interviews" She pointed the job interviews made Elena feel something was off.

"Okay, how was it? Went well I hope" Elena said carefully.

"Oh cut the bullshit! You only care about yourself. You took him away from me!" she started to took a few steps closer to her and elena quickly grab the nurse button .

"You yell again and I will hit it" She threatened.

"Don't threaten me, Elena. You should've thank me or right now you could be laying in an old cemetary" She purred and gave her an evil smile.

"Thank you? What do you mean?"

"You didn't think that SUV accidently hit you, did you?" She smirked.

"Kath..Kat you didn't! All because I went on dates with Damon?"

"Dates? Now I have to get my hands on your hair and pull it out" She took a few steps and Elena hit the button.

"I'll be back, sister" she smirked and left her alone.

Katherine did that? How could she?, she thought surprised. She never thought her step sister would do that to her. All because of one guy? Damon?

Elena was stilll thinking whether tell her mom or not. Katherine may be did that on purpose but she stilll her half sister, so she just kept quiet.

"You've been quite", her mom snapped her from her thoughts "Okay spit"

"I don't know what are you talking about"

"Honey, I know you. Something is off. What's going on?"

"Nothing, just...Damon's been dodging my calls and texts"

"You really like him, don't you?" Miranda asked carefully.

"He's okay...he's great mom. Really great guy" She sighed and drop her magazine on her lap.

"Then tell him that. What's stopping you?"

"He was Rose's and Katherine's ex" She said looking down but looking at her mom's face through her eyelashes.

"Well, that's kinda complicated. But it was in the past and you like him"

"Katherine had a hard time on over him, she kinda dated Damon and his brother"

"Wow, like mother like daughter then" Miranda rolled her eyes "Don't make that stopping you, Elena. You deserves to be happy too"

She actually didn't know if she deserves to be happy. She hurt Katherine even though she deserves it.

"I'll try, thanks mom" She gave her a small smile, "So, tell me about Grayson Pierce"

"There's nothing to tell actually. We went on dates, he's really a good guy. Jeremy met him about two weeks ago. And he liked him already"

"Really? That's rare"

"Well, maybe because Grayson bought him brand new canvas, watercolor, and paintbrushes" She chuckled.

"Seriously? He was so low" Elena giggled.

"Honey, you can't blame him. Those things are very expensive" She gave her daughter a short nod and Elena just shook her head.

"Admit it, you've been avoiding her. The question is why?" Alaric asked his friend when they just sat around the Penthouse drinking his liquors. Stefan, Caroline and Bonnie still in the hospital then they planning on double date. Stefan and Caroline, and Bonnie and Jeremy. Who would've thought, right?

"No reason" Damon sipped his drink and look at the fire in the fireplace.

"Yeah right, like you could easily fooled all of us. She's been asking for you and you should've come to see her. She called you but you ignored her. Why?"

"I wasn't aware we're playing twenty questions right now, Ric" He smirked and took another sip.

"Damon, she's in a fragile condition right now. She's vulnerable, and she only wants you. Well, and you wants her, so two plus two equal..."

"Don't be such a Pants, Ric. I don't need someone to psychoanalyze me right now. I do not want her"

"The hardest part of lying is, Damon, is lying to yourself. It's okay if you lie to me, friends do lie, don't they? But lie to yourself and deny your feelings for her is dick move, buddy"

"I told her everything" Damon said after a few minutes made Ric's head snapped up with widened eyes.

"Everything?!"

"Well, no. I didn't tell her the part after I officially broke up with Katherine. She don't have to know that now. She don't need another thing to think about, she can only focus on her health. That's why I couldn't see her" He sighed, dropped his glass on the table and stood up in front of the fireplace.

"What the hell were you thinking? Telling her the truth would be like suicide mission. You can't tell her that part now, you did the right thing though by telling her a piece of the truth" Ric shook his head in disbelieve, "But you like her, Damon. You can't avoid her forever"

"I love her" He spoke what's inside of his mind loudly.

"Did you just say the L word?"

"What? What did I say?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you said you love her. And now I believe I'm not mistaken"

"Maybe I did" He muttered.

"Maybe? You're not sure yet?"

"No, I don't know. She's the most amazing woman, you know. She's kind, caring, loving, beautiful, funny, a little clumsy. She is so different than any other women I've ever date. She changed me, Ric. Now answer me, have you ever see me brooding like Stefan?"

"No"

"Have you ever see me make every effort to make a magical second date?"

"No, never. You're not that kind of guy"

"Have you ever actually see me laughing, I mean really laughing recently?"

"Uh, that one yes. You were actually like an idiot the day you went on your magical second date with her" He shrugged.

"See? All because of her. That's another reason I'm avoiding her"

"You avoiding her because you love her?"

"No, I'm avoiding her because of my past. My terrible past. Try to keep up, Ric" He rolled his eyes, " I can't change the past"

"Yes you can't. But you can make sure you don't do it again in the future. Those six months you were in Italy was enough to learned about your past and never do it again"

"I'm trying. I'm tyring hard, but I don't know if I can not do the same to her. Like you said, I'm the bad boy material. Not boyfriend, husband or father material"

"So, you're planning on leaving her?"

"Of course not!"

"Okay now I'm officially confused. You don't want to avoid her forever and you don't want to leaving her. But you can't stay because you can't make sure you're not gonna do the same thing like you did a year ago"

"I guess time will answer. We both need to spent some times apart then" Damon left Ric to go to his bedroom and starting his new habit, brooding.

"Damon, my son! Where's you brother? I thought I already informed you both to come to the office 7 a.m sharp" Giusseppe called the penthouse to tell Damon and tefan to come down to the office earlier this morning. But Stefan wasn't home yet so he brought Ric with him.

"Yes, about that, Stefan is still with his date last night. So I thought I could bring Ric to help" He nodded to Ric and Ric smiled to Giusseppe.

"Alaric, noce to see you again. How's you're job as a teacher? Boring right? I told you to be an editor like me" He gave him a tap on his shoulder, "Come, boys"

They walked down the hall to Giusseppe office. Giusseppe sat on his chair and pointing to them to sit on the seats available.

"So, I'm planning on interviewing the new company that won a lot of mergers last week for the newspaper published day after tomorrow"

"The Lockwoods Inc.?"

"Yes, they originated from the Mystic Falls, so that's an advantage to us because we come from there too"

"Wait, you originated from Mystic Falls? The small town where I worked?"

"Yes, yes we are. We're not really proud of it so we were moving when Damon was 15. We were one of the founding family actually" Giusseppe said.

"Wow, of all the Salvatores you're the one who found the town. That's pretty incredible"

"No, not really. So damon, what do you say?"

"You want me to do the interview?"

"Yes, of course"

"Sure, I'm honored, Father. Thank you"

"Yes yes, I trust you so I give you partner, an intern. She just came here three days ago. Ms. Gilbert, come on in"

Gilbert? Wait...

"Yes, Sir?" Katherine said as she come into the room looking satisfied when she see Damon's and Alaric's jaws dropped onto the floor.

This idea just came up on the last minute, so I hope it's good.
