Chapter 5


Damon's View

"Hey Damon" Elena says walking into the kitchen, just me and her.

"Hey" I say my voice unenthusiastic.

"What's wrong? Still upset about the whole Stefan thing?" I nod my head slowly, "I've never seen you this upset over something to do with him."

"He was right though. I didn't think of him when it came to you. I didn't think of how he would feel."

"But you did Damon. If you didn't think of him then you would have just told me you loved me, and not compel me too forget. Do you remember what you said to me that night?"

"Yes."

"I do too. One of the things you said 'I don't deserve you, but my brother does' see, you did think about him.

"No, I was thinking about you." I sit down.

"Fine," she says walking over to me, "how about when you said 'Cause I thought for one second that I wouldn't have to feel guilty anymore'? That shows you thought about him Damon, you cared about him, you put him first." She cupped my face in her hands, "you did care."

I turn my head away from her, "not enough."

I feel her sit in the chair next to mine. "Damon. You did think about him, you cared about his feelings."

"If I cared about his feelings I would have left. I wouldn't have chased you. I would have left you both alone."

"If you didn't care about his feelings then you would have kissed me when I was with him."

"I did."

"Damon! Snap out of it! You cared about his feelings, you always have!" She almost shouts.

"Even so," I say under my breath, "he's still right, its none of my business what goes on between him and Ally."

"You're protecting her, for me," I look into her eyes, I can tell she isn't lying. "She can't go out with Stefan, she can't know about…vampires" she says quietly.

"And I like Austin," I laugh lightly to myself.

"Yeah, I noticed that."

"He seems like an underdog, but not really one, the only thing stopping himself is him."

"He reminds you of you." I look over to her again and I can't stop a small smile from appearing on my face.

"Hey guys, have you seen Dez?" Austin says walking into the kitchen.

"Nope, sorry Austin," Elena says.

"Okay, thanks," then he exits.

"Do you wanna go food shopping?" I ask.

"Yeah, we are in desperate need of food here," I nod and we both leave the room.

"Guys, we're going shopping, be back in about an hour." My hot girlfriend shouts.

After a series of okays we left the house.

Half Hour Later

Ally's view

Walking into the kitchen I see Elena.

"Elena? I didn't know you were back." I say, Elena turns around to face me.

Raising her hand to the side of her head she says, "oh, yeah, I had a headache so came back early."

"Without Damon?" I ask, her eyes widen a bit, I guess the headache had a bad minute.

"Oh, yeah. We really need some food here," she says laughing lightly. I nod.

"Hey, don't suppose you've seen Dez have you? Austin can't find him."

"No, sorry."

"Hey Alls have you found him yet?" Austin asks joining me and Elena, "oh, hey Elena."

"Hey. Nope still no Dez," she says to Austin, "I wouldn't worry so much, nothing bad ever happens in mystic falls."

"Yeah, you don't know Dez that well yet," he says, I slight smile on his face. "I'm ganna go out looking for him, I'll be back in a bit."

"Wait Austin, you don't know your way around here yet. You can't go by yourself." I say to him.

"Then I'll come with you," I turn to Elena.

"What about your headache?"

"Oh, it's gone now, I just needed a drink."

"Great, if you're sure," Austin says, "ready to go?"

"Yep, lets go." They both leave the house to look for Dez.

Meanwhile

Dez's View

"And cut! Great work, Rebekah." I say to the blonde girl in front of me.

"Thanks."

"You know, I wish you were the lead in my movie. You're more prepared than Trish. You even brought your own fangs!"

"Yes, well, I take acting, very seriously." I nod and pack my camera away.

"Well great day, see you tomorrow."

Next thing I know, she is in my face.

"You won't scream, you'll stay still and quiet." I stare at her, as she bits my neck. "Good, now cover that up," she hands me a plaster, "forget that just happened." I blink. "Yeah, see you tomorrow Dez, bye." And Rebekah walks off.

Austin's View

"He could have gone to get food lets go to the shop," I say to Elena.

"Hey, look Damon's over there, maybe he's seen him." I step forward, only to be stopped by Elena.

"Come on, I don't think he's here, lets just keep going." She drags me out of the shop, I guess her and Damon had a fight.

Twenty Minutes Later

Damon's View

"We're back!" Elena shouts as we walk through the door.

"With loads of food!" I shout when no one comes to help with the bags. Okay so me and Elena would be able to get them all in, in about five seconds, but we cant do that while there are humans here.

Next thing you know, Ally, Matt, Stefan, Jeremy, Trish and Bonnie are all taking bags and helping.

"Wait, Elena, where's Austin?" Ally asks as we all get to the kitchen.

"What do you mean?"

"Well you came back with a headache, but then said you were fine, and you went out with Austin to look for Dez." I try to stop myself widening my eyes. Katherine.

"Oh, yeah, right. Uh, we found Dez, they are uh, filming for Dezs' movie."

"Oh okay," thank goodness she brought that.

"Hey guys" Dez walks in. Dammit.

"Dez, where's Austin? What happened to your neck?" Ally asks. You have got to be kidding me.

"Don't know, and I just hurt myself, it's fine." He grabs a drink and sits down.

"Where were you Dez?" Elena asks.

"With Rebekah," I notice everyone else's faces tense. Today is not my day.

"Right well why don't you tell Elena all about it, and Tyler, Stefan and I will go look for Austin."

"I wanna help," Ally says getting up.

"No, no. You stay here, Dez is hurt. Austin's fine, we'll just go get him." I look to the boys, "lets go."

Looking for Austin

"Okay, where would she take him? Tyler you check the Grill. Me and Stefan will look in the woods." I say, Tyler nods and leaves.

"I'm sorry for what I said yesterday." Stefan says as we walk through the woods, "I was out of line."

"Yes, you were."

"Well, I wasn't completely."

I broke a branch off of a tree and snapped it again and again and again. "You were completely out of line Stefan!"

"You hardly thought about me at all!" His voice now rising.

"Oh look at that, little Stefan is getting angry." I stared at him. "You were out of line because I thought about how it would make you feel the entire time Stefan!"

"You were after her from day one!"

"Oh was I though. I feel in love with her slowly! Unlike you. Do you even know who met her first Stefan?"

"Me."

"Nope. Wrong. I met her first. And do you know what I said to her?" I pause, " I told her I wanted her to get everything she wanted. I love that consumed her, passion, an adventure, and even a little danger."

"See, right from the first second you were after her."

"Wrong again. I said all that for her. Next thing you know she's in love with you. There was just one thing you were lacking."

"Says you."

"Says her, you didn't give her a love that consumed her." I stare at him, "I take it you also don't know how she got her necklace back." Silence. "I gave it to her, right after telling her I loved her."

"You told her that while we were together?"

"Yep. Then I compelled her to forget it. I also told her you deserved her, not me."

"Damon, I-"

"So all that is just another thing you are wrong about. I did nothing but care about your feelings. But can you say the same?" After a moment of silence, I hear something. "Come on, I think they are over here."

"Camp fire? Doesn't seem like Katherines normal style." I ignore him completely and continue walking.

"Elena, Austin, there you are!" I say walking up to them, "What you doing out here?" Katherine gives me a death stare, its good I'm already dead.

"We were just looking for Dez," she says still staring at me.

"Dez is back at the house, Stefan why don't you take Austin back?" Stefan gets the message and him and Austin leave.

When I know they are out of human ear shot, I talk.

"Katherine, what are you doing here?"

She smirks, "what a nice welcome Damon, I've missed you too. And apparently I've also missed all the drama." I give her a blank stare, which only makes her smirk grow wider, "looks like one girl picked you. For once you got picked and not Stefan, that must make you feel great."

"Are you going to tell me or do I have to guess?"

"Come on now Damon, can't we have a little fun first?" she says walking over to me, standing too close to me.

I step back, "I'll ask again, what are you doing here?"

"Just thought I'd visit" she said turning away from me, "and who knows, maybe I'll pick up Stefan along the way, now that he's heartbroken, all because you stole his girl." She walks past me, "thanks for that, it will make getting him to join me much easier," I grab her arm and turn her back to me.

"What's the real reason you're here Katherine?"

"You'll find out. At some point." She breaks my grip and goes off in person.

"Now I'm ganna have to beat Stefan and Austin to the house." I say to myself before using my vamp speed.

Stefan's View

"Tyler, yeah, got him, yep head back to the house, yep, bye." I hang up the phone on Tyler.

Compelling him to thin he was at the grill. Anyone asks, you found him. –Stefan

I send the text to Tyler, knowing he'll understand.

"Austin," I look him right in the eyes, "forget you were in the woods. You were at the Grill, where Elena left you, thinking you were meeting with Dez to film the movie." Please say that worked.

"I was at the Grill, Elena left me there thinking I was meeting up with Dez for the movie," I sigh.

"Yep, good. Let's go in. Got him, guys" I say opening the door. "Well, Tyler found him, he just had to go sort something out before coming here." Everyone nods.

"Austin! Where were you?" Ally says running up to hug him, why can't I have a girl friend who would do that for me? I am so jealous of Austin and Ally's relationship, Ally's really pretty, and although I haven't talked to her, I know she's a nice person, her and Austin aren't going out. Since they aren't going out, she's open.

"At the Grill, Elena left me there, she thought I was meeting up with Dez." Ally gives him a confused look but lets it go.

"Damon can-"

"Elena, want to come make the tea with me?" Damon interrupts me.

"Yep. Food in about an hour guys," Elena says leaving with Damon, I am about to follow until Tyler stops me.

"Hey guys, come on Stefan, what you doing? Sit down man." He says joining us, forcing me to sit down.

Elena's View

"TYLER IS HERE!" Jeremy shouts.

"OKAY JER!" I shout back before turning back to Damon who is cooking. "Where did you find him?"

"In the woods, with Katherine."

"Did she compel him?"

"Not that I can tell." He continues cooking, without another word, I can tell something is annoying him.

"What happened with you and Stefan?" He looks to me, wonder is his eyes, "lucky guess," I say.

"We argued again."

"What did you say?"

"I didn't start it, he did. He said he was sorry, and that he was out of line, then when I said he was, he said, well not completely."

"Then what happened?"

"I gave him examples of times showing I thought about him."

"Good."

"Then I said how I always thought about his feelings, and asked if he could say the same." I sigh.

"Damon, you were right to ask. You thought about him more than he thought about you."

"I know."

"Then why are you sad?"

"Because I hate how we are always fighting about the same thing." He says putting down the knife.

"Me."

He looks over too me before walking up to me and wrapping his arms around me. "It's not your fault we both fell in love with you."

"But it's my fault for loving you both."

"No, plus you picked the right one in the end," a smirk grows across his face, I grab a towel from behind him and hit him with it. He stares at me, before grabbing one himself and hitting me with it.

Going back of forth, him hitting me when I hit him, we suddenly stop.

Next thing I know, our lips are touching.

"I love you," he whispers in my ear.

"I love you too," I smile to him, "come on, they're probably all hungry."
