Chapter 6.
"Look Damon I don't have a problem with this" Damon had come over after the meeting and was trying to be charming but he was obviously struggling with the pain.
I could see Elena looking at Damon and I over Bonnie's shoulder.
"Well that's good," he moved in very close." because I'm looking forward to working very closely with you" he gave me that most Damon look I had ever seen before slinking away again.
I turned to Elena.
"I have a problem with this." I said as soon as he had moved back out of human earshot. I could literally feel him smiling behind me.
I turned to see Mrs Flower's pouring tea into a cup for me.
"Give him a chance he's had a rough day," she said.
Elena squeezed my hand then went upstairs I assumed after Stefan. Now that everyone else wasn't paying attention I could slump onto the table. Somewhere in the next room a phone was ringing.
"Yeah well since his arrival I've had a lot of bad days."
Every since the dark dimension I had been holding in all my emotions and I was struggling very hard to keep them in now. As I was resting my head on the table I felt Matt put his hand on my shoulder I looked up to see him standing there all Matt like and I very nearly lost it, Instead of crying I choose to bury my head into his chest for a second.
"How's your ankle?" I asked feeling in control again.
Matt sat down next to me, moving carefully to avoid hitting his foot. 'It's ok I'm really sorry I can't come with you." I put my hand on his.
"It's fine Matt honestly I can handle Damon and you need to be here to protect Bonnie and Mrs Flowers." That seemed to brighten him up and I was glad. Matt had been through some much, he had no reason to feel guilty for taking care of him self.
"Plus if I force you to come and you can't lose the ability to play football I will have every football coach across the country after me." He laughed at that.
"Ok anyway there's a reason I came over," he said playfully.
I raised an eyebrow and waited for his reason.
He smiled. "Your boyfriend's on the phone."
