~Damon P.O.V~
Little brother thought he was so slick to think that I wasn't paying attention to how he acts around Caroline. I noticed the way he looks at her, the way he drops everything to help her when she needs it, the way he talks about her after he spent some time with her. I know Stefan is falling for her.
I thought I was the only one who noticed,but apparently Elena has to. I was surprised when she called, I didn't think she would want me mixed in all this but she said she needed me and of course I would never deny Elena. Its going to be hard to tell her that those late night hunting trips Stefan has been having are trips hes spending with Caroline.
Elena is going to be so hurt, she hates being lied to, something Stefan never understood about Elena like I did. There were things I understood about Elena that Stefan didn't, like she wants to be told the truth at all times, not be told that everything is going to work out very easily, she wants the consequences told to her and whos involved and what could happen to them. She was considerate to everyone who was involved in her life.
As I was thinking about Elena, I felt my phone vibrate and the caller I.D said Elena. I was afraid of telling her the truth but I knew it was what she wanted.
~Elena P.O.V~
I can't believe Stefan lied. I mean its not that he hasn't done it before its just Caroline is involved and she is my best friend so this is to much to take in. What does he do with her that keeps him out at all hours of the night? How long have they been doing this? What caused them to be out secretly with each other?
Im afraid to answer all of these but I know I need to find out. This is something that im not okay with especially if I'm being lied to by two people that I care about most. Some how some way, Stefan and Caroline's meetings will end soon. Damon Salvatore is the best man to help with the job.
~Caroline P.O.V~
It was after school and I was heading over to Stefan's house. I couldn't believe 'mr. only drink animal blood' was going to be havening a few human blood shots with me, this was a moment for the history books.
Its weird that me and Stefan were going to be drinking blood together but im also very happy because I tried to get him to drink a glass with me since I turned and he became my best friend,but he always refused. Finally he gets to drink with me and its freaking awesome!
I drove up the Salvatore driveway and got out once I pulled up. I just went in without knocking, both Stefan and Damon said this is pretty much like my other home because they understand me here and I'm now like a member of the family. I was surprised that Damon said this but the guy can have his moments.
I walked in and called Stefan's name while hanging up my jacket, purse and keys "Stefan!". "In here Care!" he yelled from the kitchen. I walked to the kitchen to see him pouring blood in some glasses, I went to sit down at one of the counters to watch Stefan.
"Hey broody." I said to him "Sup Barney." Stefan said to me "Barney?" I asked him confused. He looked up "Your wearing purple, remember." I looked down "Oh yea.I forgot." I told him feeling dumb. Stefan walked over to me and set the glass down "Did Caroline Forbes just have a dumb blonde moment?" Stefan said jokingly. "Shut up." I said, he laughed. "Just like Lexi." "Lexi?" I asked him "My best friend." He told me "You have a friend!" I said surprised and shocked. "You say that with such a discourageing amount of surprise Caroline." He said smiling
"Well its just you are 'mr serious' so its kind of...surprising." I said with a smile. We laughed. "So what did you mean when you said 'Just like Lexi'?" "Lexi would get mad when I would make a comment about dumb blondes,she wasn't one but she did have her moments." He said with a faraway look. "Stefan, did something happen to her?" I asked He looked at me "Thats uh...thats a story for another time." Stefan said with a small smile.
I grabbed his hand "I'm Sorry Stefan." I said "Its okay." He said grabbing my hand tighter and rubbing his thumb over it. I pulled away quickly,avoiding eye contact. I could tell he was hurt, I noticed the look in his eyes. I have feelings for Stefan I do, but theres Elena and shes my best friend and I just don't want to lose her. I grew up with he,r shes like my sister so dating her ex is just going to cause a bunch of issues and uneeded drama and plus hes just my best friend. Stefan Salvatore is off limits to me.
~Stefan P.O.V~
Caroline turned away after I tried to hold her hand a little longer, I don't know why but when she pulled away, I felt hurt inside. I always have this feeling that she likes me but every time I try to show affection she turns me down. I realized that I did care for Caroline as more then a friend but I'm just not sure if she feels the same.
I decided to clear the tension"Well I guess it's time for the moment of truth." I said picking up my glass. Caroline turned around an picked up her glass. "Remember the promise you made,Stefan." She said picking up hers. "Don't worry. I remember." I said with a nod.
"Okay on three." Caroline said as we lifted the glasses to our mouths. I could smell how delicious the blood was. I saw Caroline try to have some self control to wait for the count down but she was struggleing like me, she probably hadn't eaten since last night. "One...two...three!" She said and we both chugged down the blood as fast as we could savoring every taste.
Once we both finished our glasses we looked at each other and started laughing. Both of us had blood all over our face, Caroline had some on the side of her mouth and some was running down my chin. "Geez Stefan you were pretty hungry." Caroline said laughing "Look whos talking! It looks like you were drooling blood." I said to her between laughs. We were laughing so hard we didn't hear Elena walk in.
"Stefan? Caroline?" Elena asked. Caroline and I turned both of us forgetting the blood on our face. "Whats going?" Elena asked confused. I realized why she was looking at us funny so I got a towel and started wiping my face and I handed one to Caroline "Uh we were just having a quick drink, thats all." I said standing in front of Elena "How did you get the animal blood in the cup?" Elena asked "Well its not exactly animal blood." I said to her.
Elena looked confused for a minute but then realization came across her face "Your drinking human blood?" She asked with disbelief. "Elena you don't have to worry. Stefan promised that if he got out of control he would let me and Damon lock him in the cellar thing." Caroline spoke up. Elena looked at Caroline "Thats already been done Caroline."
"I know Stefan told me, but its for him to calm down not to stop drinking human blood completely." Caroline said "Okay look there is no need to lock me up. I'm fine right now I was only going to drink one glass anyway, so I'm not out of control, if I was I would be attacking the citizens of Mystic Falls right now." I said to them. "I still don't approve of you drinking human blood." Elena said to me. "Elena it was only one glass, I'm fine you don't have to worry." I said Putting my hands on her upper arms. "Whatever it doesn't matter, just be careful." She said and turned around an left.
"Well that didn't go as planned." Caroline said getting up "Tell me about it." I said "Look maybe I better go." "Why you just got here." I said turning around "Well this was supposed to be fun and it kind of went downhill." Caroline said. I walked over to her "Hey nothing is wrong we just had a little mishap." I said to her "I know it's just Elena looked really mad and I don't want to make her any more mad, so maybe we should just wait till tonight." Caroline said whispering the last part to me.
"Well how about we go get something to eat first and then meet up later." "Stefan I think you already have enough for blood for the day." Caroline said. I laughed a little "I mean real food Care,like at The Grill." She looked like she wasn't sure "What if Elena is there?What is she gonna think when she sees us show up there together and alot of people are also going to think stuff." Caroline said rambleing.
"Caroline were vampires people are always going to think stuff about us." I told her "Ugh fine lets go, I didn't eat anything at lunch anyway but let me get another glass of blood." Caroline said I laughed "Well I'm going to go hunting real quick will you be fine here by yourself?" "Stefan I'll be fine, you don't have to worry so much." Caroline said walking backwards to the kitchen smiling. I smiled and went out the door.
~Caroline P.O.V~
I went to the fridge to pull out another bag of blood, and when I closed it Damon was right there. "Geez Damon! Was it really necessary to do that?" I said annoyed "Not really, I just like doing it." He said reaching for a glass "Well one day your going to try and sneak up on me and I'm going to counter attack you." I said pouring him some blood "Caroline its imposslible to sneak up on me." Damon said taking a sip of his drink "All I have to say is 'one day'." I said sipping my drink.
Damon laughed a little. It was quiet after that until Damon said "So you seem to be getting close with my little brother." I looked at him "Yea, hes my best friend." I said wondering where Damon was trying to go with this. "You do know he had a best friend already?"
"Yea Lexi, he told me about her and it's not like I'm trying to replace her or anything Stefan was just there when I needed him and we became like best friends, so what?" I said "Hey no need to get defensive, I was just asking a question." Damon said putting his hands up with his annoying smirk. He leaned against the counter "I'm just saying you and my brother are getting close and not like friendship close, it's kind of like a more than friends thing." He said.
"Your hallucinating." I said trying to play it off because I know how I feel for Stefan it is something Damon doesn't need to know. "Don't lie to yourself about something like that." Damon said with a sincere tone. I turned to him and he had a genuine look on his face "It only makes every thing worse if you keep lieing to yourself about how you feel about some one. Trust me" He said taking one last drink of his blood and walking away.I was speechless about what Damon said, he really caught me off guard. I told you Damon can have his moments.
I was still in the kitchen standing there with a blank look when I heard Stefan "Alright Care you ready?" I turned to him and smiled "As ready as I'll ever be." I said walking with him to the door.
So theres chapter 3 hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I know its a little jumpy and you might be unsure what Elena's intentions are but don't worry I'm going to outline the entire story so it will be alot better. Also its hard for me to write in Elena's P.O.V so please bear with me. Reveiw!
