So i am really sorry for slacking on this story! It WILL be finished. I want to thank everyone who has reviewed and has taken the time to read this. You guys have no idea how much it means.

I know you probably don't want to hear my excuses but

1.) I recently found out the i have several severe Gallstones (very painful), which means i will be getting my gallbladder removed soon, and the recovery is about a week if not more.

2.) School

3.) Having a slight writers block

4.) my computer being messed up. Which means i don't have a computer to use, unless i actually get time to use our home computer and nobody is on it...

The only good things about #1 & #4 is that means i will have time to actually get some chapters done in advance so i only have to type them but i am also working on some other fan-fiction ideas!

At Red Robin, Elena was starting to get worried. She was getting kicked out of her booth she slowly walked out and sat on the hood of the mustang. She kept checking her phone and calling Damon. "Hey are you OK?" She heard a male ask. She looked up and saw the server Mark walking towards her.

"Yeah I'm fine." She said. She got into the car and sitting in the passenger seat she tried to get a hold of Damon again. Finally, she gave up and crawled into the Driver's side and started to drive looking for a place to sleep.

"I told you, I don't know where Stefan is." Damon said he was hanging from the ceiling his arms tied with chains soaked in vervaine.

"Really I find that hard to believe." The man said thrusting a wooden stake into his stomach.

"Stefan and i don't talk anymore. Why do you want to him anyway?" Damon asked. Ignoring the pain that was shooting around in his stomach.

"I want to kill him!" They guy yelled.

"Join the club." Damon hisses under his breath. All the sudden a ring sound came from Damon's pocket.

"Who's this?" The man asked with a smile on his face. He started to frown.

"Elena? Elena Gilbert? How do you know her? Do you compel her! Do you drink from her?" The man yelled.

"Leave her alone." Damon cursed trying to get the phone from him. The man didn't answer but 7 calls later he did. He clicked the answer button and held his breath.

"Damon! Where are you? You- you just left me there." Damon heard her sob.

"Elena! I'm sorry just-." he let out a grunt in pain as the guy stabbed him again.

"Damon! Are you OK" She yelled. Damon wanted nothing more to get free and get the phone and talk to Elena and tell her to go to somewhere safe.

"Elena?" The man said. "Is this you?"

"Whose this?" She sobbed again.

"It's James." The man said.

"J- James?" Elena said. Damon could tell she knew who it was and he wanted to know how.

"Elena he's a vampire! Is he compelling you?" They guy James asked.

"Damon no, he's my boyfriend! I know what he is!" Elena said. Damon like the sound of that. The word boyfriend coming off her tongue ,made him happy. He finally felt like he was loved. Something he never got from Katherine let alone his own father. The pain in his stomach brought him back to the situation at hand.

"James where are you guys?" Elena asked over the phone. Damon listened as James gave Elena the address and then he hung up. Damon was worried about Elena coming to the warehouse. She could get hurt! He didn't want that to happen.

"You better treat her well, or I swear to god I will come back and kill you!" James threatened. Then he was gone.

Elena sat in the driver's side going to meet her old friend James, who somehow was changed into a vampire. Caroline, Bonnie and Elena grew up with James until James moved away with his family at the end of 8th grade. Elena tried to keep into touch with him but he ignored her and after months Elena gave up. Now she had to go meet with him again to get Damon, her boyfriend. That was new but she liked the way that it sounded. Her boyfriend Damon, Her boyfriend Damon Salvatore. She thought with a smile. She pulled into the warehouse and slowly and carefully parked and got out. She took in her surroundings and defiantly did not like the feel of the place. It had a weird vibe coming from it and she was worried about how Damon was doing, who knows what James was doing to him. She knew James and he was violent except when he was trying to protect someone he cares about and he was still trying to protect her even if he did spend the last few years ignoring her. That didn't mean that he didn't care about her anymore. Everything was just complicated. She slide open the warehouse door and what she saw was sicking. Damon was hanging from the low ceiling his arms above his head with his feet barely touching the ground. His head was slumped and his face was battered. He started to come to, and Elena could see the pain and hurt in his blue eyes.

"Elena." He tried to choke out but his voice was cracking and the pain was in the tone of his voice.

"Are you ok?" Elena asked. She knew it was probably a stupid question but what else do you ask?

"Fine. Can you unlock me?" Damon asked.

"Where's James?"

"He's gone. He said he didn't want to see your face in pain when you saw me. He also said he was sorry for everything." He said as Elena was searching for the key.

"On the wall 'Lena." Damon helped.

"Why did he kidnap you?"

"He wanted me to tell him where Stefan was so he could kill him. He thought i was hiding him or something?" Once Elena heard the click she took off the chains on his feet and she moved to his hands. As soon as unlocked she help support Damon up but Elena couldn't hold all of Damon's weight and they ended up falling to the floor. "I'm sorry." Elena said getting up again. She pulled him to his feet and then they slowly got to the car.

"What do you think your doing?" Elena asked as Damon tried to pull to the Driver's side.

"I'm driving." "You could barley walk. There is no way your going to drive us anywhere."

"Elena."

"Damon!"

"Fine." Damon huffed after a moment of silence.

"Do you need blood?" Elena asked looking over at Damon who was slumped over in the seat. Elena looked for a hotel and also was trying to see how the bad ass vampire was OK. She knew he was trying to pretend everything was fine, but when she saw the vampire veins under his eyes. She knew everything was beyond fine.
