Before I say anything, the day that this is uploaded is my birthday :) lol I just would like to see reviews on this story about your thoughts and ideas.
~Almost the same with the last chapter, there were some parts that I had planned to put in this, but I didn't. I hope that it doesn't effect how good the chapter is much.
~I have a flashback at the begging of this chapter of when Chelsea first meets Klaus. Which would have occurred in 2.20 The Last Day.

~I wasn't originally thinking about letting the others know that the compulsion was lifted from her, but I put a little bit into this chapter about that. I also have planned to do something with letting the others know within the next two chapters.
~When I saw that you want more Damon and Chelsea scenes, I looked at what I had planned for this chapter. I had Damon and Chelsea scenes planed, but I actually didn't write them how I planned.
~Enjoy!
Chelsea's POV
~Flashback~
I walked into the Mystic Grill looking for Damon. I knew he would be there considering what he must be feeling after what happened. Drowning his guilt in alcohol is what he does best. I scanned the Grill 'Yep, at the bar.' I thought when I saw him sitting at the bar. I rolled my eyes before walking up to him.
"Hey, Chelsea." Matt said to me getting my attention before I made it to Damon.
"Hey." I said, turning to him.
"Do you know where Caroline might be? I've been trying to call her but she won't answer."
I slightly smiled. "I don't know where she is Matt." I lied to him. He nodded his head and I continued towards Damon before Matt could say anything else.
"Damon." I said as I walked up behind him. "You're right you know." He turned his head towards me. "He just didn't have the guts to do it." He slightly smiled at me. It went away though as he took a drink from his drink. I couldn't help but want to put my arm around his shoulders to try and comfort him, but I knew that wouldn't do any good. I just sat down next to Damon instead of just walking out of there. "Try not to feel bad Damon." He turned his head towards me. "I would have done it to." The bartender gave me a drink even though I didn't ask for one. "It's on the house." He said to me. 'Well, that's nice, I think' I thought putting my hand around the glass. Before I even brought it to my mouth I could tell that somebody came up next to Damon.
I looked to the other side of Damon and saw Alaric leaning against the bar.
"I'll have the same." Alaric said to the bartender. 'He must be referring to Damon's drink' I thought as the bartender gave him a drink. Alaric looked at me with a concerned look. I just shrugged a little and looked at Damon.
"I screwed up." He said looking into his glass.
"Yeah." Alaric said to Damon. "Yeah, you did." I looked at Damon with a slightly sympathetic look.
I couldn't help but let my body tense up as I felt someone walk up next to the bar behind me. "Gentlemen," I heard a voice say from behind me. I turned my head to see who it was, "beautiful," He said to me when I turned to him. I looked at him with a slightly confused look on my face. He looked back at Damon and Alaric. "Why so glum?"
"Ugh," I heard Damon say. "Klaus I presume." He said. I couldn't help but look at Klaus's face.
"In the flesh." Klaus looked back to Alaric. "Thanks for the loner mate." Then Klaus looked back at me. "You look ravishing by the way." He gently took my hand and kissed the back of it. I couldn't help but blush. I am a girl after all. Damon got off his seat and stood next to me, looking at Klaus.
"Any reason stopped by other than to flirt with my girl?" Damon asked Klaus in a slightly threatening and pissed off tone. He put his arm around my shoulders and looked at Klaus.
~End of Flashback~
I walked into the boarding house after school. It was quiet 'They must be all out' I thought as I dropped my backpack on a chair before walking to the basement to get a blood bag.
For some reason, the basement felt weird. It could be because it's a basement or it could be because of everything that's happened down here. 'It's probably just my imagination' I thought as I reached into the freezer and grabbed a blood bag.
I walked back upstairs and grabbed one of Damon's empty liquor glasses 'He wouldn't miss it' I thought as I poured the blood into it. I took a sip from it before grabbing my backpack and carrying it upstairs to my room.
I plopped my backpack on the floor, by my bed before setting the glass down on the nightstand.
"You can't be away from me that long, huh?" I asked out loud. I turned around and saw Damon standing at my doorway. He let that signature smirk of his appear on his face before walking in.
"I have something for you." He said to me before reaching his hand into his pocket. I watched as he pulled out a box that was longer than it was wide. Damon handed me the box and I slowly opened it.
Inside the box was a necklace. The necklace was silver with a crescent moon on it. I smiled at it before looking up at Damon.
"Thank you." I said to him. I handed Damon the box and walked towards the mirror so I could put it on.
After it was on I looked at its reflection. The little diamond, crystals, or whatever they were shined and made the necklace sparkle. Damon walked up behind me and I smiled. I turned around and he kissed me. 'I should probably tell them' I thought as I slowly pulled away from him.
"Damon." I whispered. "I have something to tell you." I said a little louder. He looked at me waiting for me to continue. "It's about yesterday." Damon looked into my eyes and his expression changed.
"Yesterday, when I was in the gym, Rebekah forced Tyler into the gym." I started to explain to Damon. "Klaus was going to feed Tyler his blood, so he could turn him and," I took a deep breath, "I tried to stop Klaus from doing it. It wasn't worth it though." I paused for a moment, taking time to breath. "Klaus had compelled me to follow his directions." Damon looked at me. There was a mixture of sadness and madness in them.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked.
"Because, Damon, he took the compulsion off of me." Damon's eyes went a little wide. "It was before you started walked into the parking lot of the hospital. I didn't tell you because I didn't think it mattered, but I felt like I had to tell you Damon."
"Do the others know?"
"Only Elena, Bonnie, Matt, Tyler, Stefan, and Rebekah know that I was compelled. Only you, Klaus, and I know it was taken off." Damon's expression changed 'He must be thinking'
"You tried to save Lockwood?"
"Well, yeah. He was going to die and I didn't know if he was going to stay dead." I looked into Damon's slightly hurt expression. "I was going to think it over, but it was either take a couple of minutes and think about it, in which case, Tyler would die. Or it was either try to get him to live longer and risk being compelled." I took a pause. "I took the risk Damon. The thing is, I'm no longer compelled to do what he says. Which is how I prefer it." Damon just shifted his head over my face. "I still love you Damon. That's not going to change." I said looking into his eyes. We kissed again, but he pulled away after a little bit. I slightly smiled at him and watched him turn around and walk towards the hallway.
"I'll see you at the bon-fire." He said to me. 'He's going?' I thought before watching him walk out of my eyesight.
I walked over to the glass of blood and slowly drank the rest of it. It calmed me down, even though I didn't need it that much. 'Damon's just being Damon' I thought.
"Knock Knock." I heard from the hallway. I turned to see Rebekah walking into my room.
"Hey." I said to her. She walked in and sat at the edge of my bed.
"Nice bed." I slightly smiled. I set the glass back on the nightstand. "Are you going to the party?" I plopped on to my bed, looking up at the ceiling. "Thinking about it." I said to Rebekah.
"Come with me." She said. "On the way we can talk about boys." I chuckled a little. I sat up and looked at her. "You mean you want to talk about me and your brother." I said to her with a small smile. She didn't even have to speak for me to know what she's thinking about. "Why not." I said outloud, answering her question from before. I got off my bed and grabbed my jean jacket and turned to Rebekah. "Well, if you want to walk, we should go now I guess." I said to her. She got up from the bed, walked into the hallway, and I followed her. We walked until we left the boarding house.
"You and Damon are cute together." Rebekah said to me as we were walking to the woods for the party.
"I'd like to think so." I smiled a little. "He can be Damon though." I let out a little chuckle.
"All boys are like that." She said. "But not my brother." She popped up.
"Ugh." I complained out loud. "You're trying to set me up with your brother." Out the corner of my eye I saw her smile a little. "At least think about it if you and Damon ever break up." I didn't say anything the rest of the walk to the party. I couldn't help but start to think what it would be like with me and Klaus, not to mention Damon's reaction.
Rebekah tried to pump out some beer, but was struggling. "I could help you, you know." I told her before taking a sip from my drink. "I'll get it myself." She said, still struggling to get it out.
"You all right there?" I turned to see Stefan walking up next to Rebekah. He grabbed the empty cup from Rebekah's hand and started to pour himself some beer. I rolled my eyes and looked at Rebekah.
"I thought Tyler would be here." She said, ignoring the fact that Stefan stole her cup.
" You're into Tyler now? It's kind of a Fickle."
"When you're willing to give me the time of day again, then we'll talk. Until then, a girl has
needs." I slightly smiled when Rebekah said this to Stefan.
"What's wrong with Tyler anyway?" I asked Stefan. He didn't get a chance to answer because Elena walked up to us.
"Excuse me." She said as she started getting herself some beer.
"Elena, hi. What are you doing?" Stefan asked her.
"I'm having fun, Stefan." I slightly smiled. "You got a problem with that?" Elena started to take a sip from her cup, and ended up drinking the whole thing of beer.
"All right, take it easy." Stefan started to say. "We both know you're kind of a lightweight."
"Uh-huh. Really?" She started to pour herself some more beer. "You think I'm going to let a blood addict tell me how to drink?" I couldn't help but chuckle a little before Elena walked away from us.
I was leaning against a tree, across from Elena watching Damon and Rebekah by the fire. I couldn't help but feel jealous of how Damon was acting with Rebekah. He was licking his fingers as she was trying the gooey inside of her marshmallow. 'Marshmallows are good' I thought 'Now I want a smore.'I couldn't help but think. I took a sip of my beer and felt that Stefan was over by Elena.
"What's that look?" Stefan asked Elena. She sighed when I looked over to them.
"What look?" She asked, not even bothering to look at Stefan.
"My brother's got his flirt on, and you're jealous." Stefan turned his head to me. "You both are.
"I'm not jealous." Elena said to Stefan. She glanced a little over to me and I tried to study her expression.
"It's all right. Be jealous by all means. I'm sure Damon will be thrilled." I couldn't help but scoff at what he said to Elena.
"She's not jealous, Stefan." I said to him.
He turned to me and said, "All right. That's my mistake." He looked back at Elena.
"Whatever." She shrugged a little "I'm out of here." I had turned my head back towards Damon and Rebekah, but I was able to see Elena walk away through the corner of my eye. I could see that Stefan stood there for a moment then walked after her.
I stood there for about a minute, still watching Rebekah and Damon. Of course I'd be jealous and I could see why Elena would be, but why would Damon be flirting with Rebekah? What was he thinking about after I told him about what happened yesterday? I finished my cup and decided to walk back to the boarding house.
I was in my bed, sleeping when I felt something gently rubbing against my face.
"Damon." I said through my sleep. I lazily tried to open my eyes to see what was out there. My eyes weren't even all the way open and I could make out who it was.
"Hey." Damon said quietly to me. I smiled a little before I started to yawn.
"I saw you earlier," I said tiredly to him. ", flirting with Rebekah." I didn't have to be looking into his eyes to know that he probably had a hurt look in them. "I know," I yawned again, "Elena told me." I could feel Damon trying to lie down next to me on my bed. My eyes opened a little more and I started to be a little bit more awake. "We were trying to lock Stefan up." He said.
"Damon…"
"Yeah?"
'I love you' I thought even thought I didn't say it. "I'm tired." I said to him closing my eyes.
Damon didn't say anything and his body didn't move as I drifted back to sleep.
