Late that night I was laying in bed just listening to my iPod, my diary open in front of me. I couldn't sleep, the thoughts of today just replaying in my head. Of course Jenna made me give her the run down and a play by play of everything that happened. I drew the line at letting her see my phone by threatening to put a lock on it. Even Jeremy joined in, being no help at all just standing back enjoying the show and listening in on the details.

It was already a little after 12, which was late for me considering how early I had to get up. Damon had text me good night over an hour before. He was just so sweet I thought with a smile. I was changing the sound on my IPod when I felt my phone go off on the bed next to me. I put my music on pause and looked at it.

Are you still awake by any chance?-Damon

I grinned and looked around my room for no reason at all. As far as I knew I was the only one still awake.

Yes I text him back.

Oh good. I was just about to send another text saying to ignore the first if you happened to not be and get it in the morning. Can't sleep either?

I laughed softly at his text before texting back.

Nope. I was just listening to my IPod until I get sleepy. I texted back smiling, as I hugged my pillow to me, waiting for his next text.

Is it working? He texted back

No, not really. I responded smiling.

Yeah...doesn't really work for me either. It's weird. He texted back, making me laugh and shake my head at him.

Okay you went there not me. I texted him amused.

Went where? Are you making a deaf pun? That's low Elena

My mouth dropped open at his next text and I gave a silent amused 'oh my god' as I texted him back.

Not funny Damon Salvatore. I will stop texting you.

I couldn't get rid of the smile on my face as I waited for him to text back.

Jeez. Now threats? True colors are really coming out tonight huh?

That made me laugh and I sat up in my bed, leaning against my headboard as I texted him back.

And what's that supposed to mean?

Oh no meaning he text back and in little stars next to that he had ~this is the part where you imagine me looking innocent~ , making me laugh as I clicked to read his next text.

(2/2) It's just first the pun and then the threats...I'm just making statements here and in stars again he had ~and here you can imagine me grinning deviously. You can be creative with it

I laughed, covering my mouth so I wouldn't wake anyone and just texted back Damon.

Yes? He texted back in the next instant.

I smirked and as responded back

No that wasn't that kind of 'Damon'. It was the kind I usually use with my 'brother' when he's acting like my little brother.

My phone vibrated again after a bit.

Oh I see. Ugh that brings back memories. My mom used to use that on me all the time if you can believe it. Sign language is very expressive you know. Or maybe it was just her facial expression a lot of the time.

I laughed and text him back.

Not surprising I can believe that. You seem like you may have been a handful.

Well I'm not one to brag he texted me back.


We ended up texting each other for hours about the most random things and asking each other some of the most random questions. I was completely unaware of the time until my phone beeped letting me know my battery was low, which shocked me because when we started texting my batter was at least a little over 75 percent full. I looked over at the time on my clock radio on my night stand. It was a little after 3am.

Damon have you seen the time? I texted him shocked at both how long we had been texting and how late it was.

Yeah I did just now. Why? Late?

I shook my head at him smiling and texted back.

Yes. I can't remember the last time I stayed up this late.

Well this is actually normal for me. Call me a vampire.

I laughed and responded back with Well call me a granny but I'm normally in bed by 11.

Well someone needs to live a little. What can you do in the morning? The night is where it's at

I smiled at that and texted back just when my phone beeped in warning again.

Well my phone is sadly dying on me.

Well, charge it as you text me. He texted me, making me smile even more because of the fact he didn't want to stop texting me yet.

And what about school? I texted back, biting my bottom lip as I waited for his reply.

What about it? It will still be there later in the morning. In fact, theoretically if you sleep now you will be even more tired because of the tease of the promise of more sleep. Studies have proven this. (1/2)

(2/2) Worst yet, if you go to sleep now you may wake up late or not hear your alarm because your body wants 'more' sleep. So the only logical explanation is to stay awake and let me keep you distracted.

For what had to be the hundredth time tonight his text made me laugh, which turned into a yawn.

As tempting as that sounds, I think I'm going to have to take my chances at getting some sleep. I'm beat :( I texted back, rather sadly.

Okay you're right. I'll let you get a bit of shut eye. Sorry for being a bad influence and keeping you up all night.

I smiled at that and texted back. You're forgiven and you should try to get some sleep too.

No promises.

I smirked at that as I sleepily hooked my phone up to its charger as it went off again.

So I'll see you tomorrow well later today?

I grinned at that and texted back Definitely and put my phone on the nightstand and got under the covers closing my eyes already looking forward to the day ahead so that I could see Damon again….
