I was currently freaking out! I had kissed Damon in my dream. We were both awake at the same time. What the hell! I tried going back to sleep after drinking a glass of water. I inhaled and exhaled like my mother taught me when I was having panic attacks. I couldn't. I can't do this without her!

"Damon! Damon I can't I can't breath! I'm freaking out I can't breath I'm having a panic attack!" I said laying on my back looking at him. "Just um concentrate on your breath. Inhale. Exhale." He said calmly. I turned to him yelling and crying "I already tried that! I can't Damon!" He turned to me grabbing my face on both sides and kissed me. At first I tried to fight it but then I go into it. I ran my hand through his raven black hair as we kissed deeper. He parted my lips and I was gasping for breath. He stopped kissing me and smirked. "Well I can't be around every time you have a panic attack." He said chuckling. I playfully punched his chest and smiled. He pulled me close into his chest kissing the top of my head and rubbing encouraging circles into my back. "It's going to be okay Josie. I'm not going to let anything happen to you." I believed him. I believed a man I barely knew because I felt in my heart the truth.


It was the truth. I wasn't going to let anything happen to Josie. I saw her dream. She was supernatural. Whatever she was I didn't care. She was my better half and I would protect her with my own life. I kept rubbing her back until she fell asleep. I listened to every breath she took. I steadied my breath to hers. I felt the beating of her heart up against my chest the sound like a lullaby that lulled me into a peaceful sleep.

when I woke up I crawled out of bed careful not to wake her. I hoped in the shower and changed. It was eight in the morning. I figured I'd make breakfast so I made cheesy eggs with toast and bacon, lots of bacon. Elena and Jeremy and Stefan all left for school so it was just me and Josie. She came running down the stairs smiling and bright eyed and bushy tailed. Her long blonde hair was up and messy. She wore this tank top that had a circle of flowers on it and ripped skinny jeans with sandals. She wore a little make up but not so much as to hide her natural beauty.

Apparently I was starring for too long because she laughed and said, "what do I have something on my face?" I shook my head no and pushed a plate of food to her. She smiled and dove right in devouring the food faster then I could. She let out a small burp and giggled. "Excuse me!" She said covering her mouth. I just couldn't help but laugh a little and smile. I took out my credit card and handed it to her. "Here take it and go buy whatever you'd like for school. Go crazy, clothes, shoes, make up, books, bags. Take Caroline you too hit it off the other day." She smiled and said her thanks. She headed up stairs and I called Caroline. Filling her in on most of what happened and she would leave school early to go shopping.

For the next two and a half hours Josie made me watch her favorite movie, Lord of the Rings. "My favorite place in that world has to be with the fairies, or elves I guess." She said smiling. After the movie finished Caroline showed yo and they went shopping well I researched...FREAKING FAIRIES!


Caroline and I had a blast shopping. We bought so much clothes, shoes, bags, makeup, hair stuff, notebooks pens, pencils, and I even bought some things for a garden if Damon would let me. We went out for lunch and talked. I decided it was time for a slight change so we went to the hair salon. I got my hair trimmed. It landed in the mid of my back and I got a lavender highlight. Then I got my nails and toes done. It felt good to be treated and to share it with a special person. "Caroline thank you. I've never had a girlfriend before. I mean I was always like sick and I always got picked on. When it got better though girls still picked on me and it's just good to be able to talk and hang out with you! Thank you!" I said shyly. She just smiled and pulled me into a hug. "Oh Josie of course! Anytime just call me." She said taking my iPhone and typing in her number, taking a picture and adding her own ringtone, PYT(Pretty Young Thing) by Michael Jackson.

She dropped me back off at the Salvator house and Damon helped carry in my things. I had at least thirty bags. He carried them up to a room across from his. He told me this would be my room but if I needed to I could still sleep with him. It was embarrassing needing to sleep with another living thing. I mean I was almost seventeen and I needed someone to comfort me after a nightmare. I hung up my clothes and placed them in draws. I put my shoes on the racks in the walk in closet. The room was amazing all he furnishings were a black cherry color, the walls a dark brown, and the bed spread was lavender. I'm not sure how but it all came together perfectly.

I was in heaven!

I spent all night organizing my room. I put my make up away and the hair products in my own bathroom. I started getting my back pack organized and picking out my outfit. Tomorrow was going to be crazy. Damon had already called the school and we just had to go in tomorrow to get my schedule and sign up for the right classes and fill out paper work.

it was around homecoming time so i wasn't missing much. I would have to go shopping with Caroline again for a dress. I was beyond nervous for my first day. I was restless. It was ten thirty when Damon knocked on my door. "Hey I have a surprise for you." he said smiling. He walked through the door with two animal crates, one smaller the other big. Inside the smaller was a black cat with a blue collar, Salem, and the big one a golden retriever with a purple collar, Daisy. I began crying as he out them down and I opened the cages. I got atracked by kisses and heads rubbing agaisnt my legs. "Damon how did you get them here!" I asked completely shocked. "I had a friend take good care of them on the long plane ride.

I got up and hugged him. "Thank you!" I said turning and petting my babies. he placed a bag down in front of the bed and walked out. I opened the bag and inside was all new stuff for the animals. He had collars and a need leash, kitty liter and a cat box, bowls and food, and a whole bunch of toys, and two beds.

i placed the toys in a box in the corner and set the beds up. I placed the kitty box with kitty liter in the bathroom with the food outside. I got ready for bed. I jumped into the bed followed by my fluffy friends. they curled up next to me and we were a sleep in minutes.
