What Have We Got To Lose?

Elena's POV

It was too early in the morning. I looked over at my alarm clock and it read 5:57am. I groaned, Great! I cursed myself as I got up and did my morning routine. I got a brush and stood in front of my mirror and started to stroke it through my hair to get the knots out. I got a navy blue top and dark skinny jeans and my converses on and went out of the house and walked to the Salvatore boarding house. I was half way until I heard a twig snap from behind. I turned around quickly to examine the area. Once there was nothing, I turned around and walked faster. What I didn't know was that someone was walking behind me. I turned again and saw that person catching up with me. The guy caught me from behind and I screamed as loud as I could. I closed my eyes and waited for that person to sink his teeth into my neck which never came. I opened my eyes and saw Damon and the vampire that attacked me were fighting and Damon drove a stake through the vampire's heart. Damon walked up to me with worry and concern in his face and posture, "Elena, are you okay?" I nodded and hugged him tightly. Damon wrapped his arms around me, "What are you doing out at this time of night?"

I looked up at him, "I couldn't sleep and I was heading towards the boarding house and then all of this happened."

"Elena, you could've been killed. If I didn't get here in time you would be dead and I can't lose you. Not now, not ever. Come on." He lifted me up in a bride-style lift and ran at vampire speed to the boarding house. He set me down on my feet and walked in the house and sat on the couch. He got me a drink of water and sat down in front of me, "Hope that'll help. Luckily I was already out during the night to get more blood bags for us and then I heard you scream."

"Thank you." I smiled at him and he returned it.

"No problem."

"Not just for this Damon, for everything. I don't know what I would've done if you weren't here." I sat my glass down and hugged Damon as he hugged me back.

We didn't hear anyone coming downstairs or entering the room when we heard them talking, "Oh! Sorry, didn't know you were here Elena. Sorry to ruin the moment." Kiara said and went back out of the room and went into the kitchen to get a blood bag.

I looked up at Damon, "Did you know that she was there?" Damon frowned and shook his head from left to right, "Oh, okay that was awkward."

We both laughed and heard Kiara shout from the kitchen, "I heard that!"

A few minutes later, Nate, Melanie, Stefan and Kayleigh came down for breakfast. We all sat at the island with blood bags, except for me. Damon made me some pancakes, eggs and bacon. Stefan spoke breaking the silence, "So...What's the plan for today?"

We all thought about that and came up with nothing, until my phone started ringing with Jeremy's name flashing, "Jer? What's up?"

"What are you guys doing today? I'm bored out of my mind." replied Jeremy.

"I don't know Stefan actually asked what we were going to do but we couldn't think of anything. Why?"

"Just wondering. Can I come over in about 20 minutes?"

I looked over at the siblings and saw both Kayleigh and Kiara nod with smiles on their faces. I heard Damon and Stefan groan and I giggled, "Of course Jer! We'll see you soon."

"Okay. Bye!" and we both hung up.

20 Minutes Later

There was a knock at the door and Kiara blurred to open it before she shouted, "I got it!" She opened the door and smiled up at Jeremy, "Hey Jer. How are you?"

"I'm good thanks, you?" replied Jeremy as Kiara stood aside to let him enter.

"I'm good too thanks. We are really bored and we don't have anything to do. We called Bonnie, Caroline, Matt, Tyler and Ric to come here, so that we could think of something to do." They both came and sat on the sofas and everyone else came 5 minutes after Jeremy had appeared.

"Hello?" Chimed Caroline. She was a little late because she was sorting some stuff out with her mom.

"In here Caroline!" shouted Stefan and she came in and sat on a sofa next to me.

"Hey guys. What's going on?" she asked and Bonnie explained to her about what we could do today till the weekend.

"We need your help, Care. We don't know what we're gonna do today till the weekend. Have you got any suggestions?"

Caroline smiled and nodded, "Well we can go for a vacation somewhere." We all glanced at each other thinking about it and back at Caroline, "I mean we can all leave to like London, Paris, Rome, Glasgow anything just to get our minds cleared about what happened."

"Sounds like a great idea." said Melanie and Nate nodded in agreement. We all started to make plans and book our flights for our trip. This is gonna be fun.

"When do you guys think we can go?" asked Matt and everyone turned to him. Matt looked at everyone, "What? I was only asking what date and time is set for us to go that's all."

"I'll try and get us booked for a flight for tomorrow at 2pm. Then get some reservations at hotels. Deal?" said Damon and everyone nodded.

"We better get back to our houses and pack before we'll be late and then we can all spend the night here and we'll leave first thing." I said and everyone agreed.

Kiara and Kayleigh were both singing together whilst packing. They were singing 'Bad Kids' by Lady Gaga. I couldn't help but giggle and they both heard me. Once they finished singing, we all said goodnight and went straight to bed for waking up early in the morning.
