Chapter I
Damon POV
"You coming?"
"No. I'll stay here", she replied.
I watched her as she slid down to the floor. With no emotion present on her face. I just couldn't understand it. How could this girl, who looked so much like the woman I loved for so many years, could be so different.
Then what I really couldn't understand. Is why I was so compelled to stay with her? For some strange reason I couldn't resist the urge to stay her. And before I knew it I was sitting across from her on the ground in my Armani suite.
What the hell is wrong with me?
Elena POV
I watched in surprise and in confusion. As I watched Damon, Damon Salvatore of all people, stayed with me that night.
Things just seemed getting worse. Bonnie wasn't speaking to me. Stefan is completely out of control and not to mention his mind and it's all my fault. And not to mention, my own brother and I drifting even more apart. My life just seems to be falling apart.
For the next few days. I stayed at the boarding house with Damon helping him with Stefan. I told Aunt Jenna that Stefan was sick and Damon needed my help to take care of him, only Alaric knew the truth and talked Jenna it to letting me stay with Damon.
As for my uncle John, I completely avoided him after Damon and Alaric told me what had happened at the Founders party. I hate to admit, but when Damon told me he had killed my uncle, I wasn't angry. In fact I think that would be a funeral I would actually look forward to. I know it sounds heartless, but I can't stand John jack-ass Gilbert.
As I finished venting my life's never ending problems into my diary. I headed out of Stefan's room to go school. As I reached down stairs, I noticed Damon with his back to me, staring a that pocket watch again.
"Did you ever figure out what that is?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Nope. Whatever it is, it doesn't work.", I could hear the frustration in his voice. Damon hated being left in the dark especially when it involved him.
"Pearl didn't say anything else about it?"
"She thought she was stealing his vampire compass. But it was just a pocket watch. That Jonathan Gilbert was a crazy scientist…………..You spoken to your uncle lately?"
"I've been avoiding him actually. That and I've been here most nights."
So you'll be here again tonight?
I couldn't tell the meaning behind his question. I couldn't tell if he was happy or annoyed. "Is that a problem?"
"Yes. You're a complete nuisance!" he replied, turning around to look at me smirking.
Annoyed. He was annoyed, I just rolled my eyes and said, "See you later!" and headed for my car and drove to school.
Damon POV
So you'll be here again tonight? I couldn't help but ask. For some strange reason, I couldn't help but feel happy that she would be staying her with me another night.
"Is that a problem?", she simply asked
"Yes. You're a complete nuisance!" Turning around to her smirking.
She just rolled her eyes and replied, "See you later!". And as she left I couldn't help but smile.
This is my first story. So please cut me some slack.
Please review!!!!
