Part 11
"So, Damon's still avoiding you?" Caroline asked as she and Bonnie sit on the edge of her hospital bed.
"Apparently, yes. He's still dodging my calls, my texts, even I gave messages to Stefan but Stefan said he never listened. I'm starting to think he avoid me because he still keeping secrets from me"
"Well, you guys are not officially together so...ouch! Bonnie mind your hands!" Caroline scowled at Bonnie who nudged her rib. Hard.
"Don't you get it she still need recover? And not to think about anything else beside her health?" Bonnie glared at ger and she just pout.
"Guys, it's okay. You're right Care. I'm nobody to him" Elena looked at the floor. Don't cry don't cry don't cry, she repeated the mantra.
"Elena, honey, you're not nobody. You're his friend" Bonnie smiled reassuring her. She nodded and look at the window to avoid her friends stares. "So, are you okay if Jeremy and I are...together?"
"Bon! So you can tell her about yourself while I can't tell her about my opinion?" Caroline pouted at Bonnie and stick her tongue out.
Bonnie, once again, glared at Caroline. "No, I mean I've been waiting for this day to come. We'll be sisters if you guys married" She smirked at Bonnie.
"Let's not talk about the M word, shall we?" Bonnie said.
"Oh oh if I'm married to Stefan and Elena married to Damon, we're all gonna be sisters!" Caroline had a huge grin on her face. Bonnie slapped her hand .
"Bonnie! What was that for?" Caroline angrily glared at her. Bonnie mouthed "watch your mouth". Elena laughed seeing her friends fight. They were rarely fight. But when they did it would lasted for at least just a day. She couldn't ask for better friends than Bonnie and Caroline.
"Father did what?" Stefan yelled at his big brother as they sat on one of a stool in the kitchen.
"Stefan, for the third time, he paired me with Katherine. I didn't ask him to" Damon shook his head and grab a coke from the fridge.
"But, he knew what happened. He knew Katherine. Why would he hired her as an intern?"
"How should I know? I didn't ask and he didn't tell" He sat back on the stool, " And I'm going to Mystic Falls tomorrow evening for three days with that shrew"
"Three days? Okay I can manage live without you being in charge in the kitchen for three days. But what about Elena?"
"What about her?"
"Don't you need to tell her? She always asks for you everytime I go to the hospital to pick up Caroline"
"Like I said, we need some time apart" He sat up and went to his room, should I tell her?
Saturday afternoon she felt different. Elena felt...happy. For the past ten days she felt miserable knowing Damon's been avoiding her. His past meant nothing to her. It was in the past and no one can change it, she didn't blame Damon for whatever happened to him, Katherine and Stefan. She didn't blame him because Katherine made her feel useless because of the accident. But why would he avoid me?
Someone knocked on her door when she was trying to get up. The cast was still on her ankle up to her knees but the bandages had been removed.
"Come in", the person opened the door, "sorry I can't open the door for you"
She looked up and surprised to see Damon standing in front of the closing door with red roses in his hands.
"Damon..."
"What do you think you're doing? Doctor said you need to get bed rest for at least two months" Damon placed the flowers on the table and helped Elena get beck to her bed.
Ten days without seeing Damon was painful. And when his hands touched hers for the first time since that horrible ten days, she felt the electricity rushing to her veins. She felt her cheeks blush from the funny feeling she feel inside her tummy and anger that raising in her because he's been avoiding her.
"Like you care, Damon" She snapped.
"Elena, I'm sorry I couldn't see you for the last ten days" 5 hours and 46 minutes, yes I'm counted. He took a chair and sat on it, beside her bed.
"So why now?"
"I gotta go for the bussiness trip for three days to Mystic Falls. And I feel wrong if I'm not see you first"
"Wrong how?"
"Well, I'll feel like I'm dig out my own mother's grave. That wrong"
"That's bad" She searched his blue eyes but she see...hesitation?, "So, you see me now. You can leave and continue your little avoidance. I'll be fine without you for three days. I survived for ten days"
"Elena, cmon. I'm here to apologize. I'm sorry I've been avoiding you. I'm sorry that I'm going to Mystic falls with Katherine" He said carefully.
"Katherine? You're going with her?"
"She's my company's new intern and my father paired me up with her. I couldn't say no, he'll be furious"
"I don't know...she's bad Damon"
"I know"
"No, I mean bad, really bad. If I tell you why, would you keep this as secret?"
"Okay, now you freak me out here. Shoot"
"She's the one who hit me. Maybe she had someone to hit me, I don't know. But what I know is she's the one who responsible for this hit and run"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, she told me herself. I'm not telling my mom or John, I'm afraid they'll imprison her. No matter what, she's my sister"
"So why are you telling me? And more important is, the next time I see her, I'll rip her throat out" He said angrily with fire burning in his eyes and intensity in his voice.
"No, don't please. Just keep this a secret between us" She said softly " And I tell you because I trust you. And I don't want you to go with her. She's dangerous Damon. She'll do everything to get whatever she wants"
"I'll be carefull" He took her hand in his, "And don't worry, I'll be back before you know it" He smirked. Oh how I miss those lips and smirks.
"Is there anything I can say to stop you?" She said desperately.
"Elena, I want to make my father see me as a strong and wise gentleman. I want to prove him that I can be what he wanted me to be. For once I want to be a good enough person in his eyes"
"You are to me" She said gently and tighter her hand in his.
"Thank you. I'm going to the office then straight to the airport. I'll call you when I get there"
"Okay" She said in defeat, "By the way, do you know I'm from Mystic Falls too?"
That what made Damon fall for her. Her spontaneity. One minute she hated him and the other she couln't stop talking to him.
"Really? I lived there too when I was a child. Then we moved to NY after Mother passed"
"Wow, such a small world" She mimicked Jenna's statement a week ago.
"I know" He smirked again. Oh how I want to kiss those smirking lips."I gotta go now, the plane'll take off at 6.15 this evening"
"Oh that soon. Well, have a nice bussines trip Damon. But don't be too nice" She smirked. Seriously, would she let me kiss those lips?!
Damon leaned closer and kissed her forehead, "I'll be back before you know it"
He went to the door and hold the handle when Elena called him.
"Oh and Damon, apology accepted and thank you for the roses" She gave him his favorite smile of her. My life is definately no longer fall apart, he thought as he walked down the hospital hall.
"You witch! You hit her!" Damon whispered angrily as soon as he saw Katherine at the airport.
"Hello to you too Damon" She purred.
He dragged her to the corner, "What the hell were you thinking? Had someone to go after Elena because she and I were on dates? You crazy little bitch"
"Well, I'm sorry if I'm a bit jealous of her"
"You're the one who left me, the one who cheated. With my brother. I'm not gonna rip your throat out because I promised Elena"
"Elena, Elena, Elena! Is that all you can say? Why do people care about her? She's not dead for crying out loud" She hissed,"well, not yet" She smirked.
"I can report you to the police and let you rot in hell"
"One thing for sure, you have no evidence. I thought you smarter than that"
She's right, foolish me, he thought angrily.
"You're right, but no more harm to her. If you want me back just ask, though you know the answer is no"
"FYI, I don't want you back. I just don't like it when people take away my toy. Now cmon, we're getting late" she left Damon still standing in the corner before he dragged his suitcase and follow her for the boarding pass.
"I'm at Elena's now, meet you at The Sinisters?" Caroline said as she went through Elena's closet.
"Okay, see you in thirty" Stefan hang up and Caroline carefully open her best friend's drawers.
"Where is that little thing? You're Mistress needs you" Caroline uttered as she continue looking for it, "Ha! Got cha!" she held up Elena's laptop, "What in the name of the God were you doing in the closet?" She shook her head and put the laptop inside it's case.
When she was about to hold the door handle she heard somethng buzzed and looked at to another laptop's screen. It wasn't Elena's.
She opened it and find one new message.
From: Niklaus Joseph Mikaelson
To: Katherine Emily Gilbert
My love, as you know I accomplished the task. I hit her...hard. But a good thing your step sister's not dead yet, right? I realized that's not what you want because you want your toy back fair and square. So when can I meet you again?
Love, Klaus.
Caroline's eyes widened as she re- read the e-mail over and over again. Katherine's been planning on hurting her? Because of Damon?
She quickly call Stefan. Stefan answered at the second tone.
"Care, what's up?"
"Can you meet me now? At Elena's? It's important"
"Yeah, sure. But what happen?" Caroline could her buzzed noises coming from the other end and she knew Stefan in a hurry to get to her.
"I'll tell you later. Just come, hurry" She hang up and shoved her phone into her purse.
Katherine's gonna pay for this .
Another cliffhanger! Don't hate me!
Okay, so since I didn't got at least 8 reviews from the last chapter, I had to pay my sister Rp.100.000 or 10 bucks! It sucks, you know.
And honestly, what's the point of writing if there's no one reading it?
I hope I'll see you for the next chapter.
