A/N: Just a story I'm putting together, mostly for my own amusement. Tyler is overwhelmed and can't control himself any more. Most of my direct thoughts are put at the end of each chapter, if I have any for that chapter that is.

CHAPTER 3

Tyler's POV

"Tyler." As my eyes opened I was greeted with the sight of Stefan who seemed to be shaking me by my shoulders. Damon was standing behind him next to Elena

"Mhmm?"

"What happened to you?" Stefan asked

"What are you going on about Stefan?" I managed to spit out in my groggy state, to be honest I was kind of annoyed he woke me up

"There's blood all over your shoulder." He said

"What?" I said as a looked up at the three of them. Stefan and Elena were looking at me with worry in their eyes, while Damon was simply glaring at me.

"Oh um, kind of hurt myself after slamming into the door last night." I said

My response got a laugh out of Damon who was now smirking. My response was to avoid his gaze. Stefan seemed to notice because he then turned towards Damon. "What did you do Damon?"

"He didn't do anything Stefan." I said

"You don't need to lie for him Tyler." Stefan said

"I'm not." I said but Stefan clearly wasn't convinced

"Okay then. We need you to call you mom Tyler, tell her you spent the night at a friend's house and will be back today." Stefan said

I looked back at Damon who was frowning now which caused me to smile.

I looked back at Stefan. "You're letting me leave?" I asked

"Yes Tyler." He said as he held out my cellphone

I quickly dialed my house number and waited for an answer. It didn't take long for mom to answer.

"Tyler!" She yelled through the phone

"Yeah it's me mom." I said

"Where have you been?" She asked

"I was at a friend's house." I replied as I looked over at the three in the room with a frown

"What the hell were you thinking yesterday Tyler? Were you drunk, or high?" She asked

"How did you know mom?" I asked

"Matt called worried about you yesterday. In fact he called all day and then all today. He's a really good friend Tyler. So why did you do that stuff yesterday, what came over you?" She asked

"Yeah I know he's a good friend. I can't really explain it mom. I was angry and I got drunk. But I just wanted to let you know I'll be home later." I replied

"You're lucky no one called the police Tyler. If what happened was anything like Matt said you could have been looking at some serious charges." She said

I wasn't really surprised no one called the police. What kind of teenager would, it's a fight and some kid wrecking his car. Really the most popular kid doing it might have just made it more entertaining for them.

"I know mom I'm sorry. I'll be home soon. Good bye."

"Good bye Tyler." She said before I hung up the phone and put it in my pocket

"So I can go now?" I asked as I looked at Stefan only to notice Damon was gone

"Yeah, just follow me I'll show you the way out." He said

Stefan and Elena headed for the door, I followed close behind. We walked up a staircase and into a hallway which lead into a foyer with a door I assumed was the front door judging by the size of it.

"Would you like a ride, or something to eat before you go?" Stefan asked

"Where's my car?" I asked

"We left it at the school." He replied

"Well no to both I'm going to head over to The Grill." I said as I walked through the doors

I couldn't get out of there faster. As I walked down to the road I pulled out my cell phone and looked through it. I had twenty four missed calls. Ten were from my mom, and fourteen from Matt. I dialed Matt's number and placed the phone to my ear to wait for an answer. Matt picked up before the first ring finished, which was even faster than my mom.

"Tyler!" Matt yelled with the same worried tone my mom had

"Matt listen…" I started, "Where the fuck have you been Ty?" Matt interrupted

"I stayed at a friend's house for the night." I replied

"Why didn't you answer your phone?" He asked

"I was sleeping most of the time." I replied

"What was with you yesterday?"

"Look man, I'm sorry. I was upset and angry, and I got drunk. I'll pay for any damages to your trunk." I replied

"What were you upset about?" He asked of course I should have expected that from Matt. He cared too much about everybody

"Just …. Things … I'd rather not talk about." I replied

"Look man, if something's going on and you need to talk. I'm here. Don't think you need to bottle everything up." He said

"Will do in the future. I just thought that after the whole Caroline thing that you might be a little hesitant for it." I said

"Well I'm not. You cleared everything up. I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions." He said

"Alright then. Listen I'll talk to later alright." I said

"Alright, see you later." He said

I put the phone away as I continued to walk down the road. I stared down at the ground in front of me as I walked. The Grill wasn't much farther so I picked up speed and soon was jugging forward down the road. My head jerked up to the sound of whistling. I immediately stopped at the sight before me. Damon Salvatore was standing mere feet from me. I instinctively took a step backwards. But I was sent into frenzy when he smirked.

I ran at him as fast as I could but it wasn't fast enough, he managed to grab hold of me and throw me off the road into the forest. I rolled into a tree back first. When I got to my feet he backhanded me back against the tree which caused me to fall forward. I push myself up on my hands and knees only to be kicked to the side of the head back against the tree.

With my back against the tree he grabbed hold of my collar and pulled me a few feet away from the tree then punched me in the face which caused me to roll onto my stomach. Again I pushed up to my hands and knees but as I did I felt an arm wrap around my neck and another one grab a chunk of my hair and pull my head back. I knew his face was against my ear because I could feel his breath against it.

"That was a mistake." He said

"What do you want?" I yelled

"A lot." Was all he replied with

"What is that supposed to mean." I asked

"Tyler I want you to know that I control you." He said

"What?"

"We can't have another incident like yesterday." He said

When I didn't reply he pulled my head back further, "Okay." I whimpered

"Tyler. From here on out, I want you to know that … I own you." He said

Own me? Damon may have been terrifying before, but now I was simply creped out.

"What the fuck do you mean?" I spat

"If I ask you to do something, you do it. If I ask you to get me a coffee, not talk to someone, talk to someone, or even kill someone… You'll do it." He said

"I can't kill someone." I barely managed to say

"Don't worry. I most likely won't make you do that. So do you understand me?" He said

"You can go fuck yourself."

Damon immediately shoved my face into the ground. Then with both hands he held it there. There was nothing I could do he was too strong. It didn't take long for him to bring me back up.

"Do you understand me?" He asked again

"Fuck you!" I yelled

This got me some more face to ground time but this time Damon followed up shoving my face into the ground with lunging his teeth into my neck. I could feel the energy drain out of me, but could tell he was drinking at a slow pace as to make it last longer. It was too much, he held me down for at least a minute and I was sure my face would be some unnatural colour when he brought me up. As he did he removed his teeth and I struggled to breath.

"Do you understand me?" He asked and I could tell he was losing his patience

It took me a minute to reply as I continued to have trouble breathing. "Yes."

Damon flipped me onto my back and straddled my waist. "I want to hear you say it." He said

"I … I belong … t-to y-you … Damon." I struggled to say

He leaned forward bringing his face inches from mine. "Don't ever try to attack me again." He said with a frown

"I won't." When his expression didn't change I decided to add more to my statement to avoid any further pain, "I promise Damon, I won't try to attack you again." I said

Damon pulled his head back as he smirked. "That's much better." He said

"Can you get off me please?" I asked

"Don't go to bed tonight. I'll be coming by your house later." He said as he got up and started walking away

He paused as he swung his head around, "Oh and Tyler, no more incidents like yesterday's. Or I will kill you."

"Okay." Was all I said before he disappeared

As I walked up my driveway the first thing I noticed was my car. It was here and all the windows had been fixed. I decided to skip out on lunch after Damon had attacked me and I went straight home. I opened the front door and started for the stairs but I didn't get far up them before I heard my mother.

"Tyler?" She called

"Yeah mom." I replied

"Get down here, we need to talk." She said

"Alright." I sighed

I climbed back down the stairs and went into the first living room of the house where my mother was seated on the couch staring at me as I walked over to join her.

"Tyler. Is there anything you need to say?" She asked

"I'm fine, if that's what you're getting at." I replied

"Of course you are. I just mean with what happened yesterday I have a right to worry." She said

"Well worry no more mom, because I'm perfect. Couldn't be better." I said as serious as I could manage

She didn't look convinced but she didn't press the issue any further. As I opened the door to my room I slammed it shut then walked to the center of my room and stopped. Looking around at the things I've come to bought, or even stolen in some cases. None of it represented me in anyway. All the expensive objects were meaningless to me, it was all a show. Make it seem to the outside world like I had everything I've ever wanted, while in reality I've never known what I truly wanted. But it doesn't matter.

Now that I was free again I didn't know what to do. I was able to truly think about everything that has happened in the last twenty four hours. Being held against my will, and having Damon do… Well whatever it is he's trying to do… But none of that is what was racing through my head every other thought. Damon was a part of this thought, but to an extent. It was his blood. What it did to me, how it made me feel, and what it made me see.

It was like a deep trip inside me and seeing everything I've been too afraid to face. Except all the bits with Damon, I had no idea what that was all about. But one thing was sticking… The feeling… The feeling of pure nothingness. I wanted to feel that way again, it's what I've wanted for the longest time now. I don't want to care anymore, about anyone. It seems like a simple concept. But it's a lot harder then it seems.

Seeing Jeremy sprawled out on the pavement and actually backing away in fear of me ate at me. When I used force to remove Matt's arms from me and he fell back I felt bad, I'm supposed to be his friend and I just intentionally hurt him. Not one day has gone by that I've missed taken drugs. Until now…

A/N: Yeah a cliffhanger. I don't recall ever doing one before in any stories so don't hate me for this. Originally the chapter was going to last until the night was over but I thought after reading the last paragraph that this would make a good ending. So what do you think? Good direction to take this story? What's to come with future confrontations between Tyler and Damon? Or Tyler and Others? I plan on making some hate between Jeremy and Tyler, Matt and Tyler, and obviously Damon and Tyler. But I don't have a distinct plan for the ending and how everyone's relationships with each other will be. Let's just say that if I enjoy this enough and I can think of some good ideas then there may be a sequel or two! But that doesn't mean this one will be closing any time soon, oh no this is far from over ladies and gentlemen.
