i walked in and elena was glaring at me with her blue eyes i looked away and sat down. i had only been here todays and everyone seemed to hate me. my phone bleeped and i looked at it the screen read

' me and your mum are goin away wont be back for a week money is in the account stay out of trouble Jake '

I groaned. great a week alone was gonna be so boring. the lesson flew by and when the final bell rung out i stood up but elena blocked my way and said " whats going on with you and stefan and dont tell me nothing because ive seen the way he looks at you " i just stared at her this could not be happening why did this always happen but as far as i knew she wasnt with stefan maybe i was wrong but i didnt have time care i had to meet stefan. i stepped past her and out of the class room. i walked in to the parking lot and instantly saw stefan he was leaning against his car looking at his phone.

As i approached him he looked up and began to grin i felt a blush creep up on my cheeks as he stood up straight.

"how are you mia you dont look so happy " i avoided his gaze and began playing with my hair he stepped closer and took my hand " Emilia look at me please " i looked in to his deep green eyes and felt my self being lost he began to lean in his lips slightly parted i wanted to lean in so bad but i couldn't i cleared my throat and said

"i dont think elena likes me she was giving me a funny look in class and at the end she came up to me and asked if we was together" his forehead creased and he shook his head stepping away from me and walked towards the car great i thought way to make it awkward. the drive was silent and as we pulled up to his house i gasped rather loudly it was massive. i saw his lips ull up into a smirk as i stared then i saw Damons ferrari and my face faltered i forgot he lived here stefan stopped the car and walked round to meet me i got out and couldnt take my eyes of the house. the inside was even more magfincent i gasped again and he chuckled

"come on mia the study is this way" he took my wrist and towed me forward . As we entered the study stefans phone began to ring he took it out and looked at the ID and said

" I've just gotta take this ill be back in a minute make yourself comfortable" i nodded and turned around and looked at the books there were so many i pick one up and began to study the blurb it was a vampire novel i shrugged and began flicking through the pages i heard some one clear their throat and i jump at least a foot in the air and dropped the book i turned and Stefan was leaning against the door frame smiling.

"oh god sorry so who was on the phone" he moved closer as i placed the book back after picking it up and sighed

"it was Elena asking me if i wanted to go out tomorrow " i felt my face fall slightly but i smiled and clapped

"yay thats good new so where are you gonna take her" he shrugged and told me that we should start work i nodded and sat down at the desk and he got out a big binder full of what looked like Shakespeare plays we began flicking through so i could choose the ones i wanted to write about. As we started to work his phone rang again i told him to take it asked him where the bathroom was. i walked out of the study and followed the directions the bathroom was amazing it had a red and black colour scheme i looked in the mirror and my hair had started to frizz i pulled the hair band off my wrist and tied my hair in to a messy bun. i heard the door close behind me and i turned to see Damon leaning casually against the door blocking me from escaping.

" i told you i would be seeing you soon Mia" he took a step closer and i backed into the wall thinking it wasn't my best idea because he kept moving till we was a few inches apart. he brought his hands up either side of my face trapping me between him and the tiled wall. " not so brave now are you Mia" i put my hand on his chest and instantly regretted it when he growled. his eyes were cold and hard and he removed one of his hands and grabbed my wrist he pulled it above my head and did the same thing with my other hand then restrained them both in one and with his other hand he stroked the side of my face and i could feel my eyes filling with tears i closed my eyes to try and hide them but he moved his mouth to my ear and hissed

" now now the brave Mia isn't crying is she? open you eyes i wanna see your lovely green gems" he chuckled. my eyes snapped open and i glared at him.

" why don't you fuck off Damon" he smiled widely at this and laughed

" watch your mouth thats not very lady like is it " i twisted my head from his gaze and he grabbed my chin roughly and made me look at him " i said it isn't very lady like is it Mia?" i shook my head and mumbled sorry and he released my chin then very lightly placed his lips on mine i froze and my eyes widened he pulled back and let my arms go they fell limply to my sides .

" bye Mia have a good night see you around" with that he left i looked in the mirror again and tried to make myself look normal as i walked back into the study i cleared my throat and Stefan looked at me with a puzzled expression

" errm i got a call from my mum and she said i needed to get home sorry could we continue this another day" he nodded and stood up

" ill drop you home " i nodded and thanked him as we walked to the car i realised i was cold and shivered i turned to see Stefan taking of his jumper i looked at him and he passed it to me i shook my head but he instead " look you only wearing shorts and a tank top " i took the jumper and placed it over my head it came to my mid thigh and he laughed. we got in the car and the ride was silent except when i told him how to get there when we arrived i thanked him and ran in doors and straight to my room i couldn't help but cry.

the following morning i awoke to an empty house i hated being alone. i decided that i was going to go and have a look down town. i would have to walk and i had no idea where it was i got dressed and walked out the door in a hope to find the town. after an hour i found it and there were a wide variety of shops i spent most of the day there a brought some new shoes, some shirts and new underwear. i began walking out when the sky turned a dark shade of grey and ran started to pour i froze as the cold water hit me i shrieked and mumbled

"you have got to be kidding me" it was sunny one minute then pouring with rain. i started to walk in the down pour i was already soaked through so i thought there is no point in not now. as she walked it got darker and colder and i realised i was lost. I was about to get my phone and call a taxi when a car beeped and i turned to see a black Ferrari i started walking again and it slowed next to me and the automatic window lowered Damon leaned across his hand still in the wheel

" Mia get in the car your soaked" i ignored him and continued to walk " Mia if you don't get in the car this instant i will drag you in myself" his voice was light but had a threatening note i shrugged and i heard the car screech to a stop i turned around to see Damon getting out i don't know why i did but i ran it seemed smart at the time but got about 10 steps away when he grabbed my wrist and pulled my back i tried to break out of the grip but it was like steel. so i bit him and he let go but then grabbed my waist and lifted me off the floor and walked me back to his car he placed me in and closed the door i tried to open it but he had out child lock on i sat back and huffed he sat down and was rubbing his hand were i had bit him.

the drive was long and he kept trying to make a i just put my earphones in tried to ignore him after 5 minutes he pulled my earphones out and made me look at him he looked hesitant as if he was thinking really hard about what he was going to say but i cut in

" okay what is your problem one day your nice then your pinning me to a wall kissing me with out my permission then your offering to take me home in the rain your confusing me" he shook his head and stopped the car i froze as he locked the doors and turned towards me.

" look Mia you need to stop being difficult its getting old" i turned to look at him and raised my voice

" no Damon whats getting old is you stalking me so i suggest you unlock these doors and let me out this instant" he just smiled and restarted the car i was relived when we pulled up outside my house he got out and opened my door i stormed past him and deliberately stomped on his foot he hissed and i couldn't help but smirk.

"your welcome" i heard him shout

"oh give it a rest you ignorant bastard" all of a sudden i was pinned against the wall and my bags were on the floor in front of me and Damon towered over me and was furious i was truly scared of him he looked like a murderer. I opened my mouth to shout for help but he clamped his hand over my mouth and snarled

"you will not talk to me like that ever and your not going to scream when i take my hand away okay" i nodded my eyes wide with fear he took his hand from my mouth and smirked. he stepped backwards and i bent down to pick my bags up off the floor but they were gone i looked up and Damon had them in his hand holing them over his head i walked up to him and glared

"give me my bag this instant Damon" he smiled wider and shook his head

"you want it your gonna have to work for it little one" i stomped my foot looking like a child and shrieked. i pushed him and walked into my house leaving him outside with the bag. a few minutes later i heard a knock at the door i yanked it open and Damon was standing there trying not to laugh i went to slam the door but he shoved his foot in the way and tutted

"is that anyway to treat your guest" i laughed and tried to push the door again but it wouldn't budge.

"a guest implys you have been invited" he shrugged moved away from the door i slammed it closed and looked out of the window he was looking at my bags. i had totally forgot he had them i banged the window and and he looked and smirked opening the first one and took out my new shirt, smiled and put it back in the bag then he looked at the smallest bag and i froze that was my underwear.i ripped the door open and ran towards him and went to snatch the bag out of his hand but he was to quick before i could even try to grab the bag he held it above his head

" okay that not fair I'm short so cant use that " he looked down and shrugged

"isn't my fault your vertically challenged and rude is it?" i narrowed my eyes and reached for the bag again and he laughed. little did he know i could make myself cry on demand so i began to let the water brim over my eyes and looked down composing my face into a pout. i began to whimper and looked back at him he was shocked to see i was crying my plan was working he lowered the bag and as soon as it was in my reach i grabbed it and my other bags and ran at full speed towards the house. I closed the door just in time and he pounded on the door .

" you little..." he couldn't think of a work and i giggled he growled " open the door Mia i think you forgot something" i looked through the peep hole and he was holding my mobile phone i patted my pockets and sighed he had got me " i opened the door and he turned to face me he looked down at me and moved closer i automatically backed away

"give me my phone Damon this just got serious"he shrugged

" let me in and ill give it to you" i huffed

"fine come in you arse" he laughed and walked pasy me throwing my phone i caught it just about and he walked over to my sofa and jumped down " don't jump down on my sofa do you not have any manners" i blushed i sounded like my mother he just laughed and patted the space next to him i ignored him and walked past but he grabbed me and pulled me in his lap i began and to wiggle and struggle to get off when he tightened his grip and whispered in my ear

" if i was you i would stop moving around on me its quite exciting " i froze as i got the double meaning in his words and he moved his mouth closer to my ear and blew in my ear i shivered and he seemed pleased at that and began lightly nibbling on my lob. it felt so nice but it was wrong i shook my head

"stop Damon let me go" to my surprise he did what i asked i got off and turned to face home his face was slightly vulnerable before he smirked again i walked to my bags and picked them up i turned and he was infront of me i had to crane my neck "yes Damon what do you want " he looked down at me and smiled slightly

"whats in that bag " i placed it behind my back and shrugged and he grabbed it taking out the new lacy underwear i had brought i froze and he laughed. he continued looking and my face became a bright red " oh my Mia didn't pin you for lacy " i grabbed them out of his hand and shoved them back in the bag. i took them in to the kitchen and made my self a drink i turned to Damon

" do you want a drink or something" he turned to me holding a picture of me and all my friends. he shook his head and looked back the photo he was staring at it trying as if he was trying to look for something. i walked to him and took the picture from him it was taken a week before i left. i hadnt really thought much about them since i arrived but now i felt my heart throb as my happiness began to shut down and was replaced with sadness and regret. i smiled weakly as i remembered what had happened that day.

my friend James had suggested we go to the lake even though it was freezing and they all pressured me to go telling me you only live once. when we arrived they began to strip and i backed away there was no way i was doing that so they all sat with me and when i told them i was moving we all cried even the boys and then they said lets take a picture of our favourite place. it was a great day and made me realise how much i loved them. then my phone rung snapping me out of my memory i slid it up and was greeted by stefans voice.

hey Mia , the date with Elena was great i think i really like her

thats great Stefan it really is you two really suit you should ask her out again

yeah i will anyway i better go I'm just getting in the car talk to you later bye

he was gone before i even got a chance to say bye . i took a deep breath and remembered Damon was standing next to me

"so what did my runt of a brother want" i shrugged and sat down on the arm chair. i closed my eyes and tried to just forget everything when i opened my eyes Damon was right infront in me and blocking me in once again and like before i shrank away from his body and looked him in the eyes they were beautiful and enchanting i felt my self leaning towards him as if i needed to be closer but i stopped myself and he moved back suddenly like he had been shocked. i stood up and walked towards him this time he backed into the wall i reached up on my tiptoes and cradled his cheek

"are you okay" he looked me dead in the eyes and they went dark he grabbed my hand and ripped it from his face and twisted it i felt like it was going to snap he pulled me closer so he could whisper

" don't ever touch me do you understand you insignificant little rat" then he pushed me away with such a force that landed me on the floor.i looked up and couldn't help the tears that threatened to over flow his face seemed gentle for a moment then it was cold again and he began walking to the door but not before he shouted back "and stay away from my brother if not i swear you will wish you stayed in Miami" i just sat there and didn't move i was sat there atleast ten minutes after he left then my phone rang it was Stefan again i rejected it and stood up taking my bags to my room it then dawned on me i hadnt eaten all day.

I opened the cupboards and pulled out a cuppa soup and settles down to my favourite film wondering how i was going to avoid Stefan without making it obvious. my Stefan rang me 3 more times after i still rejected it. i was starting to drift in to sleep when there was a pounding on my front door. i walked over and looked through the peep hole and instantly dropped to the floor it was Stefan. i crawled along the floor and turned the telly off when i heard

"Amelia i know you are in there is everything okay" i held my breathe and covered my mouth "if you don't answer in the nest 2 minutes in gonna bust the door in " i ran to the door and chained so it only opened a small bit i made my voice sound thick with sleep

"yeah what do you want" he stared at my face and i knew he knew i hadnt been asleep

"look is everything okay you have been dodging my calls " i nodded

"yeah my phones just been acting up sorry but not to worry you and as you can see I'm fine so good night" i slammed the door and slid down the door and covered my face this could not be happening he knocked softer but ignored it. then i heard the car pull away i walked in to my room and layed down. my mind was full of problems but i closed my eyes and tried to sleep.

i was woken up by a car horn i jumped and ended up on the floor i stood up and ripped open my curtains and Stefan was standing out side with a coffee cup and a paper bag he also had a big sign that said ' please let me in P.S sorry if i woke you up' i smiled at him and walked down the stairs slowly i opened the door a crack and popped my head out with an uneasy smile.

"come in then quick its cold"

he walked over to me and pulled me in to his arms as they wound round my waist i realised i was only wearing a large t-shirt and my underwear. i pulled away and blushed then he seemed to catch on and he stepped away as well.

"errm I'm just gonna go get changed make yourself comfortable" i went upstairs and through on my jogging bottoms and jumper i walked down stairs and he was sitting on my favourite chair deep in thought with his eyes closed. i snuck up behind him and just as i was about jump on him i heard

" don't do it Mia " i froze for a second and then jumped over his shoulder within a second i was on the floor and he was on top on me pinning me gently so i couldn't move. "i did warn you Mia and now you will pay the consequence" then he started tickling me a few minutes later i was in floods of tears and begging for mercy. when he finally let up and grabbed my waist and pulled me up. when we was standing up he looked down at me and a hint of a shy smile played on his lips then he looked up confused "I've only just remembered where are your parents " i shrugged

" they went away for the week" he frowned and stepped closer

"they left you alone for a week" i nodded slowly

" i am 16 i cant take care of myself" he placed his hand on my shoulder and i looked into his forest green eyes and he shook his head

"your just so small and delicate i don't like the thought of you alone in your house on your own" i smiled and before i could stop myself i said

"then why don't you stay with me" his eyes widened and so did mine then he walked over to the side and picked up the coffee cup and past it to me

"sorry it might be cold and its a deal ill just go home and get some clothes ill be back in half an hour" i just stood there i am so stupid i was meant to be staying away but instead i asked him to stay at mine for a week I'm dead if my parents or Damon find out. i looked at the coffee cup and then my phone went off i walked over and and placed my coffee down and picked my phone up i had a text from an unknown number my heart sped up as i read it.

i did warn you Mia just wait till your alone you will regret disobeying me...D

i chucked my phone down and ran to lock all my doors and windows and sat on the settee curled in a ball hoping Stefan would hurry up. just on cue Stefan knocked on my door i ran to answer it. i opened the door and Stefan was stood with a suitcase nearly as big as me i smiled widely

" how long are expecting to stay a week or a year" he looked down and began to fidget " I'm only kidding here let me talk it" he was about to protest but i covered his mouth and took the case which he was holding as soon and he let go it fell to the ground and took me with it i just burst in to laughed "should have seen that coming " he smiled and bent down next to me and brushed my hair from my face

"you need some help" i could tell he was trying not to laugh he pulled my hand from the suitcase and stood it up straight then he held a hand out to me i took it and in one swift movement he pulled me to my fee i had to stop myself smashing in to him. then he laughed

"you lighter than my suitcase don't you eat?" i pushed him away and stomped over to the front room and jumped down on the chair. "what did i say ?"

"i don't like people commenting on my size or how tiny i am" he walked over to the chair and bent down in front of me so his lush green eyes were equal with mine a shy smile crept on to his lips and he sighed. he tilted his head to the side

"but Mia you are tiny and you weigh less than my bag but you are so breath taking beautiful that no of that matters" i felt my cheeks heat up and i smiled brightly before throwing my arms around his neck nearly knocking him of his feet once he regained his balance he crushed me to is body lifting me off the floor then his hands moved to my thighs and i wrapped my legs around his waist and looked at him

"so when are you taking Elena out again" he smiled wider and began to sway from side to side taking me with him i laughed and so did he

"well thats the thing i don't know when or where to take her" i placed my forehead to his as i had the second day i met him and closed my eyes then i got it my eyes flew open and i bounced in his arms

" i have an idea i have an idea" i repeated this about 5 times when he covered my mouth

" am i gonna hear this idea" i nodded and he removed his hand.

"you should totally do a romantic dinner on a boat and have some dude play violin and you could totally make her feel like a princess or something" he crushed me to him and whispered

"that sounds perfect thank you Mia" i hugged him back "so do you wanna watch a movie i just got that new horror " he nodded and carried me to the chair and placed me down i ran to my room and got the disk when i came down Stefan was laying across my settee i placed the disk in and sat on the floor next to him. ten minutes in to the film i was covering my face i heard him Stefan chuckle and i glared at him. there was a loud bang in the film and i leaped onto him

"can i sit on you please Stefan" i pouted and he nodded pulling me out of his view so he could watch the film by the end i had my head tucked in to his shoulder and he was rubbing circles in my back trying to calm me down. i looked at my clock for the first time today and saw it was 5 the day had gone so quick. i pulled my head to look and him his eyes were wide.i rolled off him and grabbed my phone of the floor and dialled the number for Chinese as the dial tone started i looked at Stefan

"I'm getting dinner what do you eat" he told me and ordered it within ten minutes the food was here after arguing for the whole time i let Stefan pay. i groaned silently as i saw they gave us chop sticks i turned to Stefan who was using them flawlessly. i picked them up and after the 6the time of dropping my chicken i threw them down on the counter and cursed Stefan looked away from his food towards me and laughed

"need some help" he was still laughing and i glared at him then softened my gaze and nodded shyly it was so embarrassing i must seem like such a simpleton to him. he walked over to me and picked up my chopsticks i had thrown. " its easy all you have to do is place it between you thumb and forefinger then voilia" he picked up a piece of my food inbetween the sticks and placed it in my mouth "see easy" i smiled and looked down feeling the heat rush to my cheeks again. after dinner told Stefan i was going to jump in shower and he could get in after me.

the shower calmed my body and the hot water cleansed my skin i felt so relaxed when i got out i search for a matching pair of PJs. in the end i opted for a pair of blue cotton trousers and a white vest top.i shover my fluff socks on and towel dried my hair. i walked down and threw my clothes in the hamper.

"Stefan shower is free it third door on the right " he grabbed his suitcase and made he way up stairs nodding to me. i sat on the settee with my earphones in kinda bored i don't know how i was going to do this on my own I'm glad i asked Stefan just as i thought that he walked down the stairs were in a black v neck and grey cotton pyjama pants. his usually perfectly quaffed hair was flat across his head like brown satin it looked so soft i felt my mouth fall open but i didn't care he look perfect i saw him smirk and i looked away taking my earphones out.

"errrm d..d..did you find everything okay" i was stuttering like a obsessed fan i felt so embarrassed my whole face flushed red and he walked closer resting his cool hand on my roasting cheek he tilted his head to the side like earlier

"yes i did thank you " has cool breath made my head swim and then next thing everything went black. i could hear stefans voice in my ear

"Mia ... Mia wake up... can you hear me " just then i heard a growl i my head and a dark chuckle. my eyes flew open and i was no longer on the settee i was on my bed and i felt something cold on my forehead i tried to sit up but was stopped by soft but firm hands "oh no you don't you need to rest you just fainted " i flopped back and huffed i heard him laugh it was shaky i turned to face him his face was painted with worry it was hard to think i had only known this boy for four days he had already made such an impact on my life. i motioned with my hand for him to come closer till our faces were so close i could feel his breath i closed my eyes took a breath i opened my eyes and looked in to his eyes

"thank you for being here i know I'm not the easiest person" he shook his head and tried to protest i lifted my head slightly and placed my lips to his cheek i felt a spark go through me and i pulled away and closed my eyes i was so tired.

" you should sleep where am i staying" i sat up and walked towards the door i turned round

" come on " he followed me and i showed him to our guest room i got the blankets out of the cupboard and made the bed " there you if you need anything just ask me and ill get it. I'm just down the hall so you know" he nodded and bent down and very gently pressed his lips to my forehead my breathe caught in my throat.

"good night Mia " i nodded and walked out of the room my head spinning.i got in to bed and tried to make sense. did i like Stefan? but he like Elena my head hurt. i layed down and was swallowed unconiuisness.

i was in a field and it was peaceful when the blue sky turned dark and thunder clapped i jumped. i had the feeling someone was watching me. i heard a twig snap behind me and turned to look i saw a dark hooded figure standing there he was slowly moving towards me. i ran and ran until i fell down i turned and the figure was no where to be seen i stood up and started to run but smashed into something hard i looked up the persons face was covered but i saw a flash of white then in his hand i saw a glint of a blade and screamed.

i woke up panting in my room and Stefan ran in looking half asleep i sat up my chest heaving it was dream.

"is everything okay i heard you scream" i shook my head

" i just had a dream it felt so real " i felt tears starting to brim over and i couldn't get my breaths out quick enough. i think i was having a panic attack Stefan ran over to me and forced me to look at him

"its okay Mia I'm here nothing is going to hurt you i promise" i nodded and he wiped the stray tears from my cheek. he told me to lay down and he layed next to me humming a calming tune i didn't know up i could feel my eye lids getting heavier but i didn't want to return to that field then stefans voice echoed in my hear 'I'm here nothing is going to hurt you i promise' so i gave in to my eyes and fell asleep next to Stefan. i woke up in the morning and he was still asleep i sat up careful not to wake him up and walked down stairs.

i was in the middle of cooking some bacon when i heard someone clear their throat i turned to see Stefan standing there looking like a god his brown hair slightly messy form sleep he was rubbing his eyes he looked so cute i turned back to the stove and grabbed a cup and the coffee mug i placed them on the counter and poured him a drink. he thanked me and sat on the stool taking the mug in his hand i smiled

"sorry for last night i really don't know what came over me " he smiled sympathetically

"hey don't worry everyone has bad dreams" i blushed and turned back to the bacon. i made us both breakfast and we sat ins silence while we ate the Stefan was first to speak "so what do you want to do today" i shrugged

"i don't mind i still haven't seen a lot " he nodded then snapped his fingers

"I've got it i want you dressed and downstairs you have 15 minutes starting now " i jumped up and ran upstairs i could hear him counting down and couldn't help but giggle. i ran down stairs and Stefan was sitting all dressed and ready. i walked up to him

"come on then slow coach" he looked at me and smiled standing to and taking my wrist pulling me forward towards his car. i got in and clipped my seat belt he started the car and turned on the radio. the drive was long and uneventful we arrived at a field i got out and turned to him "this is your idea of a fun day standing outside in a muddy field" he smiled widely and shook his head.

"no we just have to walk the rest of the way " i stared at him

"i am not walking through mud you can carry me on your back" he grimaced but in one swift movement threw me onto his back i clasp my self in place and laughed, the walk wasn't very long but the movement of his walking made my stomach turn. i layed my head on his shoulder and played with his ears "how much longer I'm bored" he smiled and jumped nearly knocking me off his back i shrieked and smacked him "don't do that "

"do what?... this?" and he jumped again i gripped his neck tighter. he laughed even more

" it not funny your going to pay for that" he shrugged his shoulders

"what you gonna do bite my ankles" i gasped the narrowed my eyes

"nope I'm gonna go this" and i licked from his ear to his chin he stopped immediately and turned his head to me

" you did not just do that Mia" i smiled widely and licked him again

" yep and i did it again, you actually taste really nice " i laughed but he just stood there "Stefan... Stefan " he just ignored me i shimmed round so i was clung around his front and his face was serious i froze. "look Stefan I'm sorry ... Stefan " he just stared through me like i wasn't there i tried to move me hands but fell back i grabbed his coat to steady my self i hid my face in his chest i could feel his heartbeat slow and steady "i am weally sowwy" i mumbled into his chest i felt it vibrate i looked up and he was laughing i gasped "i was actually worried i thought id pissed you off " he lifted me higher so we was eye to eye

" i could never be mad at you but one thing first" then he licked my cheek. i shivered and smiled "okay spin round to my back so we can continue " i did as he said and in no time we was at a lake it was beautiful i slid down from his back he bent down so i wouldn't have a long drop and when my feet touched the floor he covered my eyes "we have a little longer but you need to trust me " his voice was in my ear soft and gentle.

" i do " he led me forward after about 5 minutes he uncovered my eyes and i gasped it was a small cottage and next to it was a river which gleamed in the light i turned to him and saw a tear in his eyes "are you okay" he nodded

"yeah my parents used to bring me and Damon here when we was kids it just holds a lot of memories" i threw my arms around him and held him to me he buried his face in my neck i could feel the moisture from his eyes in my hair and i could feel my eyes brimming over

" oh Stefan I'm sorry " i pulled back and wiped his tears away something he had done for me many time. he took my hand and pulled me towards the house i intertwined our fingers so her knew i was there for him he squeezed it gently as we approached the front door. he got a key out and unlocked it we walked in i was breathless it was beautiful and undisturbed. he pulled me through in to what i assumed was the living area there was a large portrait of a man. women and two boys they were so happy and looked like they were in one of those old fashion photo places. there smiles were genuine i stared at the youngest boy with the greenest eyes i had ever seen i turned to Stefan and he was running his finger tracing the women face. she had green eyes much like stefans but she had the raven hair of Damon she was so beautiful. stefans face was stained with silent tears i squeezed his hand and he looked at me again. i walked towards him till we was a breath apart and stood on my tiptoes and very lightly pressed me lips against his. his hand left mine and went to shoulder and pushed me back i opened my eyes and say something in his eyes i stepped back and shook my head.

"Mia we cant" i just kept backing up of course he didn't want me had Elena the amazing Elena perfect in every way

"I'm sorry " i turned and ran tear steaming down my face i cant believe i just made a fool of my self like that. i could hear him calling me but i just continued running. before i knew it i was running in to a forest i kept getting deeper and it was to late before i realised i was lost i heard a crow scream and i jumped. a twig snapped and i turned to see where the sound came from as i turned back to the front i was pushed against a tree then i heard the voice i had been dreading

" why hello Mia its good to see you don't you agree" his breath blew in to my face. he moved in closer pinning me to the tree so i couldn't move "you see i did warn you what would happen if you didn't stay away from my brother and like the stupid little girl you are you ignored me so now you have to pay" i closed my eyes and waited for the blow to come but it didn't i opened my eyes and Damon was looking at me " why were you crying before"

" Stefan showed me you old family cottage and we..." i didn't have time to finish he exploded

" that good for nothing bastard took scum like you in to my parents house " he screamed and i jumped i had never been so scared his face was millimetres away form me i could feel the anger radiating from his skin but in his eyes i saw the same look i saw in stefans hurt ,loss ,guilt. with out thinking i placed my hand on his arm but he didn't pull away i looked him dead in the eye

" i know your hurting but you cant keep it bottled up it wont do any good " his face faltered for a second then even his eyes were angry

" a insignificant little rat like you is trying to tell me about pain don't worry you will feel pain of you own very soon you can count of that" he grabbed my wrist and twisted it like the other day but this time he didn't stop not until he hurt a sickening snap i froze and screamed in pain he smiled and moved closer he grabbed my other one and was about to do the same when we heard Stefan

"Mia! Mia! are you out here " i screamed again but it was silenced by Damon's hand he looked at and and in a deathly whisper said

"tell anyone this and you parents wont be coming home " i nodded and then he walked away i fell to the ground and sobbed until i felt a warm pair of arms embrace me he stood me up and took me wrist i hissed and he looked down at it his face drawn with horror

"Mia your wrist is broken how did this happen" i looked down and muttered

" i fell over and landed funny" i knew he didn't believe me but he didn't pressure me into telling he swept me up into his arms and began to walk back towards the car "look Stefan about before I'm sorry i shouldn't have..." he cut me off

"don't worry Mia right now all i care about is getting you to a hospital" i nodded and closed my eyes the pain was getting worse. sooner than i thought he put me down and opened my door i climbed in and tried to do my seatbelt again but i couldn't when he got in he leaned across me pulling it into the clasp "there you go " he smiled weakly and started the car way to go Mia make things worse i thought. the drive wasn't long but the pain had reached a point where it was unbearable and i couldn't stop the tears that escaped my eyes i wiped them away with my good hand and stared out the road. we arrived at the hospital and as soon as my feet touched the floor Stefan swept me up in to his arms again

" Stefan it my arm that broke not my leg , i can walk you know " he nodded and smiled

"yes i do know but I'm not letting you away from me i let you go for 5 minutes and you broke your arm " he looked deep in not my eyes telling me there were no arguments i leaned my head in to his chest as we walked in to the hospital he took me to the desk and told them they said it was a fifteen minute wait he walked to the chair and sat down i went to slid off his lap but he tightened his grip on me refusing to let me go. when we got called he finally put me down and let me walk in to the office. after one hour, 3 X- rays , and a plaster cast they let me leave. my mind was fuzzy because of the pain medication i got in the car and felt really sleepy but in a flash we was home i jumped out of the car but only got like two steps before the pavement flew towards me i closed my eyes but i felt a strong arm around my waist pulling me up i couldn't help but laugh. he carried me to bed and went in his own room him walking out was the last thing i remember.

i woke up in the morning with a head ache and my arm was itching i groaned loudly and jumped out of bed. i felt terrible my head hurt like there was no tomorrow i walked down stairs and tried to made a tea but i couldn't with the stupid cast on my wrist in the end i lost my temper and threw the cup and the wall it smashed in to pieces and i broke down i couldn't help but cry. i curled up in a ball hoping that this would be over soon. i heard a gasp and looked up Stefan was standing looking at me his green eyes wide with worry he walked over minding the gladd

" what the matter mia " i sniffed

" i couldnt make a cup of tea because of the cast" he hugged me close

"you could have asked me mia i wouldnt have minded you waking me up now im goin to carry you to the settee is that okay" i nodded weakly and he lifted me and walked me to the chair laying me down making sure he didnt knock my arm i closed my eyes as he carefull placed his lips to my head my heart throbbed and he walked into the kitchen to make my tea.
