Chapter5

Bella's Pov

Waking up it took me a while to realise where I was. I was in my new bedroom, well attic as they didn't have a spare room but I was fine with it. The attic was huge and it really was amazing. It had two platforms, the normal that held my queensize bed and then five steps up theres a square platform that has two sofas and and a TV, DVD Player And a Stereo by the looks of it. It also has two doors on the further side of the wall. ( picture on profile )

Woundering what was behind them I got up and went through the one on the left first. It was a bathroom. My bathroom. It had a walk in shower that was big enough to fit like 2 maybe 3 people in. A bath a toilet and a sink. It also had a cabinet for all my things and a pretty big mirror.

Leaving that room I then went into the next and found it was a walk-in-wardrobe, and a pretty big one to. There were bars hung along the ceiling that was most likely for dresses or things I want to hang up, there were big chester draws and shelves that after a minute of thinking what they were for I realised that they were for my shoes.

Coming back into my room I noticed that there was an outfit set out on my bed that I was clearly supposed to wear. It was just a pair of blue skinny jeans and a plain black vest top.

Setting it back on the bed I went to take a nice hot shower after my long day yesterday. I took my time washing my hair through and then washing my body and by the time I was done I was feeling nice and fresh.

Wrapping a towel around me I got out and blow dried my hair. Then I went to get my clothes for the day and put them on. Looking at myself in the mirror I decided to straighten my hair again, I liked how straight it was yesterday. Then I put on a light layer of make-up and left to go downstairs.

" morning Elena " I greeted as I saw her sitting on the couch flicking through channels

" morning, how did you sleep? "

" great actually, umm I was just wondering how I got up there because I don't remember walking. " I actually knew that I was carried up as I remember that smell but I wanted to know whoes it was.

" Damon carried you up, you were really tired and we couldn't even get you to lift your head on your own. "

" oh " was all I responded with.

" by the way i'm sorry that your stuck up in the attic. I would have shared with you I just thought you would want your own space. "

" oh no its fine. I love it up there, I have everything, a huge bed, a joining bathroom, a walk-in-wardrobe and I even have a little sitting are. Its perfect. Now all it needs is to be decorated. I was wondering if I could paint the walls? "

" yeh of course you can its your room now. I hope you don't mind but I have to go and see Stephan, he hasn't been feeling well lately and I need to check on him, I was about to head over there now but I wanted to wait for you to get up. Do you think that you could spend the day by yourself. "

She sounded like she wasn't really sure but after I assured her I was fully capable to spend a day by myself she left with the the promise that she would help me paint my room when I had all the supplies.

Feeling way to wired to just stay at home and do nothing I decided to go out and get the things I needed. I also wanted to start a diary and I needed one to do that. I know that Elena keeps one and she always said how it helps her not bottle things up. That its theraputic to write.

So I was gonna start one, and write about everything that has happened to me, and let everything go.

I ran up to my room to get my boots from yesterday since I didn't know where my stuff was and then left.

It was really warm out so I put the hood of my car down again and just started to drive around. Once I found a place that sells paint I got out of my car and went to have a look.

After a lot of thinking and a lot of staring at samples I decided to go for a nice blue. It was a darkish blue and it would go nicely with the bedding I had gotten. I also bought a small chocolate brown rug for the bottom of my bed and an even bigger chocolate brown rug that had different shades of blue swirls on for the sitting area on the lower platform.

Once it was all in my car which was a tight fit since its a small car I started to head home when I drove by this dinner called ' The Mystic Grill ' that I know everyone hangs out in.

I decided to go in and have a look around but not before putting the roof up and locking my car.

Once inside I noticed there was a lot of kids my age around, not that that was a surprise. There was a few people playing pool and some were sitting around tables and talking, it looked like everyone was having a good time.

I went over to the bar and ordered a diet coke, then I went to find an empty table when someone walked right infront of me and stopped, if my balance were still a problem I would have went flying into him but instead I just swayed a bit.

" hey beautiful, i'm Tyler whats your name? " oh god not another Tyler I thought to myself

" Bella. Excuse me " I tried to walk around him but he just grabbed my wrist making me spill my drink a little.

" aww come on, don't be like that. If you knew who I was then you would be begging to go out with me so you should consider yourself lucky. " when he was done with his little speech he leaned in and tried to kiss me, I backed up a bit and made a little speech of my own.

" look I may not know who you are but if I were to guess then I would say that you think your the most popular and good looking guy in school, you probably play football too and most likely have every girl in school throwing themselves at you trying to get with you. But not me ok. Now if you don't let go of my wrist and take a good few steps back then i'm gonna be sick on you because your breath stinks. "

With that I put down my drink and left the dinner with most people staring at me and a very shocked tyler trying to discretely smell his breath. In truth his breath really was bad.

When I got outside I noticed someone leaning on the side of my car.

" hey what do you think your doi... oh hey, Damon right? "

I was about to snap his head off when I noticed it was Damon who was looking at me with a rather amused expression.

" yeh thats right, its good to see you looking health again, I thought you were gonna die last night with the way you looked. " he was wearing this rather cocky smile and when I realised just what he said I blushed and mumbled a thank you for carrying me upstairs. I don't know why but i've noticed that that was the second time I blushed because of Damon.

Laughing he replyed " it wasn't a problem, atleast I got to hold you and lay you down on your bed. " he said while waggling his eyebrows and wearing that cocky grin again.

I just stared at him dumbfounded, now I don't have a lot of experience with this in particular as Edward never did that with me but was he flirting, with me. Did he normally act like this or was it just me? I asked myself. Before I could think to deeply about this he spoke again.

" by the way, nicely handled "

What?

" what? "

" the way you turned down Tyler, nicely done. But you do realise that he is most likely gonna try and go out with you just to prove a point. "

" and what point might that be? " I said a bit too harshly than I meant to. But he just kept on smiling in that stupid cocky way that was really starting to annoy me.

" that he can get any girl he wants, your the first one to turn him down. So good luck, your gonna need it with him. "

OMG does that stupid smile ever go away. I don't know why but he is really getting on my nerves.

" ok well thanx for the warning but I have to get home, I have a bedroom to paint. Goodbye. "

With that I turned to get in the driver side but when I sat down I noticed that Damon was currently occupying the passenger seat.

" Damon what are you doing in my car. I told you I have to go home. " he just sat there smiling and staring straight into my eyes.

After a minute of this I was beginning to get uncompfortable.

" need any help? "

" with what? " was my great reply

" painting your room " he said sounding like he was rathere enjoying himself

We were still staring into each other's eyes and after a minute I realised he was waiting for a reply.

" umm, no. but thanx for offering. "

He looked confused for a minute but then he leaned forward and stopped about an inch from me.

I wanted to look away but I was unable to. He was staring directly into my eyes and I felt paralysed, his eyes were the most piercing, most beautiful blue eyes I had ever seen and even though I again felt myself blush I couldn't look away. I didn't want to.

The silence was broken by his voice,

" Bella I want to help you paint your room, let me help you " as he said that I couldn't help but notice that his voice sounded sexy and that the pupils in his eyes were magnified, it was like he was trying to hypnatize me.

I shook my head trying to clear it and wondering why I was thinking these things. It's not like I was atracted to Damon.

When I looked back at him I noticed he was looking very confused and, curious?

No that can't be right.

I started the car up and started to drive home, leaving the top up as it gets chilly driving with it down without a jacket.

I decided to just answer him them.

" ok Damon if you really want to help then you can, but if you help me paint it then you have to help me finish it, meaning help me hang pictures, move the furniture where I want it things like that. Deal? "

" deal " I didn't take my eyes of the road but I knew he was smiling again, and I knew he was staring at me.

When I pulled up outside my house I told damon to take the rugs in while I get the paints, I noticed that all of my stuff was still in my boot but I decided to just take my suitcase in and get the bags later.

When I walked inside I noticed damon had put the rugs to the side and was now holding what looked like lots of sheets.

" what are the sheets for? " I asked

He looked rather amused when he said they were to cover all of my things so we wouldn't get paint on them.

" oh, right. Of course "

" well lets go then " he said laughing at my mumbling and walking straight upstairs

" ok he is really annoying me " I mumbled quietly so no one would hear me but I could have sworn I heard him laugh.

However he didn't say anything when I joined him in my bedroom so maybe I did just hear things.

" well you gonna help me or not " he said holding half of one of the sheets and smiling that stupid cocky smile. As an answer I just smiled back and helped him cover everything and move them away from the walls.

Once that was done he told me to go and get the paint and paint brushes.

And I froze.

I had forgoten to get the paint brushes.

When he noticed I still hadn't moved he asked me what was wrong and I just gave him the best guilty face I had.

" aww bella " he laughed

" don't tell me you bought the paint and forgot the brushes " he asked icredulously and then laughed and my guilty smile.

" I can't believe you went out to get paint and brushes and you come back with paint and 2 rugs." he said doubling over in laughter.

This time I had to laugh to. We just laughed freely and only sobered up when we heared the front door open and Elena shout me.

" well so much for painting, I tell you what. I will pick up some brushes and a roller and we can pick this up tomorrow. Hows that? "

We started to walk downstairs to meet Elena now.

" yeh it sounds fine, but you don't have to you know. " I smiled up at him.

Smiling back he replied " I know I don't but a deals a deal. "

" what deal? " Elena asked as we walked into the kitchen obviously having heard the last of our conversation.

Damon was the one who answered her.

" the deal Bella and I made, if I help her paint her room and rearange it then she has to do something for me "

Elena looked at me for confermation.

" yep. Wait, no. you said you wanted to help me paint my room and I said if you help me paint it then you have to help me rearange it, you never said anything about me having to do anything for you "

" yeh well I changed my mind. So do we have a deal or not? "

" depends on what I have to do. Elena already said she would help me and I don't have to do anything to return the favour for her. "

" umm Bella I actually have plans with Caroline tomorrow and I can't cancel because she will never let me live it down if I do. Sorry "

I turned to damon and he was looking a little smug.

" what would I have to do? "

" you wont know until I ask you for it "

" I really hate this deal. Fine i'll do it. Happy now. "

" yep "

Stupid smile. I thought to myself.

" ok well i have to go, how was Stphan today.? " Damon asked Elena

" he's says he's better but he is still acting a little weird. But I think he's good considering he ... umm, through up all night. He's really wasn't well. "

" yeh well considering what he has been through he won't be better for a while "

Then they stared at each other with a knowing look that made me think that they weren't being truthful.

Maybe i'm just getting paranoid but I could swear that Elena was going to say something different before she noticed I was still in the room.

" ok well I should go. I'll see you tomorrow Bella. "

" bye " and then Damon left the room.

~ About an hour later

Me Elena and Jenna were all sitting at the table eating spagetti bolognase that I made. Jeremy was out again.

We had all been having a pleasn't conversation when I announced I was going to bed. I had infact had a long day again.

When I was upstairs I checked my txt messages and I had 3

I opened the one from Renee first and it read :

Hey sweetie,

i know your about to board the plane so i will just leave a message.

I want you to txt me as soon as you can. I miss you honey and don't forget you owe me a visit.

Love mom xxx

I replied to that and then opened the one from dad which read :

I just wanted to tell you i will miss you a lot sweetie and if you ever want to come home early then you can. It doesn't matter about the school we can figure something out. I just want you to be happy.

Txt me when you get a chance.

After i replied to that i opened the last one which is from Angela that read :

Bella,

I heard you went to mystic falls, atleast its sunny there, my parents are having me home schooled.

With that taken care of I shut of my phone and went to sleep, the whole while feeling like I was being watched.
