A/N- Hey! Sorry for the long, long wait, GCSE exams and everything…I only have one exam left, and it's a certificate (additional maths) and it's not for two weeks. So I was hoping to make it up to you with a lovely long update :D Pretty pretty please forgive me?
Thanks for the review YAZMIN V.
Please enjoy.
Damon's View
"Morning beautiful," I roll over and bit another body, what the-
"ENZO!"
"Raise and shine sleepy head, time for school. I have a beautiful blonde to win over and you have that thing with Elena." I sit up giving him a confused look as he sits up too.
"Oh right, I have a thing with Elena," my voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Oh good, first stage is admitting it," he jumps off the bed as I throw a pillow at him. "Come on, we're picking up Elena in half hour."
I throw another pillow at him just as he leaves the room laughing.
Elena's View
*Beep Beep* *Beep Beep* *Beep Beep*
"Ugh," I groan rolling over to reach for my phone. "Hello?"
"Morning sleeping beauty, but let's not tell Damon I called you that." The deep voice on the other line says.
"Enzo? How'd you get my number?"
"Correct, and Damon's phone obviously. You're speed dial number two."
"Number two? Who's number one?" I ask sitting up and wiping the sleep from my eyes.
"Now now, no need to get jealous love, it's not a girl, it's that Alaric person." I sigh.
"I wasn't jealous, just interested." I say shrugging, though really I don't know why since he can't see me.
I hear him scoff through the phone, "of course you were." I hear him laugh slightly, "I rang to say we'll be picking you up in a half hour. See you then."
He hangs up.
Great, a half hour to get ready.
I jump out of bed and walk down stairs to grab some food.
"Hey Jer," I say as I walk in, he's sitting on the kitchen island eating a bowl of cereal.
"Morning Elena," he says smiling slightly.
"I'm getting a lift in with Damon," I say grabbing a glass of orange juice, suddenly I don't feel like eating. "You okay to find your own way there?"
"I'll be fine," he says with a slight shine in his eyes, almost like he's trying to hide a smirk from his face, but he can't from his eyes. I give him a confused look.
"Well, anyway, I need to get changed, I'll see you tonight Jer," I say dashing back upstairs.
Normal dark blue jeans and a light blue tank top. I put them on, my black converse and a black zip up jacket to match. "Hair up, hair down…" I say to myself demonstrating them both. "Up." Just as I finish putting it in a high but neat ponytail there's a car horn beeping out the front, "that would be Damon." I grab my bag and dart down stairs, "Bye Jer," I shout slamming the door after me.
"Morning grumpy," I say getting into the back, "hey Enzo," I see him smirk slightly.
"Hey preppy," Damon says starting to drive. "Someone is awfully cheery today."
"Maybe I just seem cheery to you as you're grumpy, and I'm like a ray of sunshine on your otherwise gloomy morning." I say trying to hide a laugh.
I hear him laugh slightly and Enzo just looks to him and smiles.
Pulling up to the school Damon says, "what time do you want to leave?"
"Well, I wanted to go at say end of lunch, but if you want to stay the whole day that's fine." I say as we all jump out of the car.
"Me, stay to the end of the day?" He says as we start to walk into the school, "rethink what you just said."
I smile at him as he laughs slightly, Enzo rolls his eyes with a smile on his face. "End of lunch it is then." He nods just as everyone joins us, including all the newbies, do we just attract them or something?
"Morning," Caroline says very happily as she walks alongside Enzo with Klaus on the other side.
"Morning," Enzo says with a smile directed only at her, "I've started the morning being a lovely third wheel, how's everyone else doing?" I give him the death stare, Damon looks at him confused and Caroline stares at him like it's a good thing they aren't alone together or she would tear his head off.
"What time we leaving today?" Stefan asks.
"Well me and Damon are thinking the end of lunch?" I say. I see Enzo smirk again, be he's facing ahead of him, so I can't he sure. Caroline stares at him and she pushes him into our first class.
"Well you're a feisty one aren't you?" Enzo says taking a seat by Damon, "can't say I'm surprised." Damon laughs quietly and shakes his head.
Elijah and Hayley seem to be getting on really well, Stefan is talking with Rebekah, Bonnie, Matt and Tyler are having just normal conversation, Klaus is staring at Enzo, his expression unreadable. And then there's Damon, sitting by me on his phone.
I turn so my whole body is facing him, "do you ever get off your phone?" I ask, he looks up at me.
"Well I wasn't on it when I drove you here was I?" He says looking at me. "You know Elena, I'm not always grumpy."
"I know," I say with a slight smile, "I'm sorry for always saying you are."
"Don't be," he says, I turn back to sit at my desk, slouching in it slightly. "You don't have to apologise all the time you know," he says.
"Sorry," I say slouching further. He laughs. "What?"
"I tell you, you don't have to apologise, so you apologise."
"Well maybe I felt bad!" I say my voice raising.
"Bad about what?!" His voice going even louder than mine. This outburst is out of nowhere, but it always is. I'm aware of everyone staring at us, but we're use to it.
"For constantly trying to find out why to spend the same week every year in your room!" I shout, my voice just as loud as his was, I stand up and he does the same. "I now know it's to do with Enzo and clearly it's important to you! I'm sorry for constantly annoying you about it!"
He doesn't say anything for a minute, he just says to me, quieter than before, "announce it to everyone then Elena." There is still anger in his voice, but now with a hint of…vulnerability? He storms out of the room. I slam myself back into my chair, slouching, and stare to the front of the class.
Enzo's View
I tap Caroline on the back, "hey, beautiful," I say, she turns around with a smile. I smile back slightly, "hey, is that uh, is that normal?"
Her smile fades away, "well the arguing, yes, but he doesn't normally leave the room. They normally just both sit back in their chairs and sulk until lunch, where one of them will steal some on the other ones food, and all is forgotten."
I smile at her with a sign of thanks, and she nods and turns around. Should I go after him? Just as I'm about to stand up and try to find him, Alaric walks in, the teacher.
Now I can't go. It's only my second day here and I've already let him down.
At Lunch
We all grab food and head to the table, as we walk over we notice Damon sitting there,, already eating chips. None of us mention what happened. For some reason we all fit around the table nicely, with one spear seat for Elena, which just happens to be by Damon.
Elena walks over, with no food and sits down, she immediately reaches for one of Damon's chips.
"What are you doing?" He says snatching them further away from her.
"Taking a chip, you owe me, remember?" She says, smiling, and reaching again. Damon stands up, and picks up his food.
"I owe you nothing."
She sighs, "look Damon, if this is about the argument, come on, we argue all the time, then we take each other's food and move on."
"Sharing food isn't going to fix it this time." He says, he storms out of the cafeteria.
We all stare at Elena, she stares after him, I see a tear roll down her cheek and she runs off. I look to the others, they all have the same expression as me, worry.
"This isn't good," Tyler says, looking down at his food. We all nod in agreement, and stay silent until the bell.
We head off to our next lesson together, no one felt like going home.
Meanwhile
Damon's View
She's kidding right?
What even was that?
She thought our normal taking each other's food thing would do? Sure normally it does.
But this time she crossed the line.
We never bring anything we told each other into the fight. It's the unwritten rule. You just don't. But she did. She knows how important that whole thing is to me and she still brings it up!
*Ding Ding* *Ding Ding* *Ding Ding*
Caller ID, Jenna, great.
"Yes?" I say abruptly, not that she seems to notice.
"Hey Damon, I'm going out tonight and I was wondering if you could cook for Elena and Jer?" Great.
"Yeah, of course, have fun Jenna." I hang up on her.
I sigh, why am I doing this, it's a bad idea. Reluctantly I call speed dial number two.
"Damon, I-I-" She sounds sad but what has she got to be sad about.
"Don't Elena. Look, Jenna rang and I'm cooking for you tonight, I'm going to yours now, do you want to leave now or should I come back?" I say, hoping that there isn't any emotion showing in my voice.
"I-I'll come now." I hang up on her and jump in the car. She walks over, looking as though she has been crying, what has she got to be crying about?
I drive in silence.
As soon as we reach hers I get out and head inside, straight to the kitchen. I look through the cupboards and fridge. Curry, quick and simple. And the sooner I get out of here the better.
I'm cutting up vegetables as Elena comes down from her bed room.
"Anything I can do to help?" She asks in a small voice.
"No." I say abruptly, I don't want to have to deal with her right now.
"Damon, please, don't hate me," her voice still small.
I put down the knife and look to her, our eyes lock.
"How could you Elena?"
Meanwhile
Caroline's View
"I've never seen them this bad," Jeremy says as we leave the school.
"Well, you can hardly blame Damon for being annoyed, Elena crossed the line." Matt says.
"What? You're blaming this all on Elena?! She was pushing him, like they always do. " I say as we all stand in the car park, everyone's blaming Elena for it, it's not fair.
"I'm not blaming her. I'm just saying she crossed the line Care. She brought something he told her, into an argument. Even if it was something tiny, he hadn't even told Stefan, his own brother, anything about it. And it's not as if she did it in privet, she did it in front of the class, no doubt half the school knows already."
"Oh it's hardly that big of information," I scoff back.
"But it is to him," Enzo says, we all turn to face him. "You all know Damon, he keeps himself to himself, if he trusts you with something, no matter how small it is, it means a lot to him. You should never mention it to anyone, you should betray the trust. And the fact that it was Elena who betrayed it, that hurts him the most. If it had been one of you, he probably would have hated you for it but got over it at some point, but it was Elena. He never thought she, of all people, would do that to him." He says, we all go silent, waiting for him to continue.
"You say how he's changed, and isn't like he used to be. Why? Because he doesn't show his emotions all the time? You seem to think he has no emotion. When in reality, he has more than a lot of you. He hides it, because he's worried he'll get hurt. Clearly he was right. Can't you see he was starting to open up to her? Slowly, but he was." He continues.
Just when I thought he was done, he carries on, "Caroline, you said last night how they have a different dynamic to everyone else. One wrong move and, BOOM, its ruined. I'm worried that was the one wrong move."
We all stay silent, looking to each other, hoping someone would come up with an idea, that someone would tell Enzo he was wrong, but no one could.
Later
Elijah's View
"Well that was an interesting day," Hayley says as we find a table to sit at in the grill.
"I wonder if it's always like this," Rebekah says bringing over the drinks.
"Rebakah, you should not get joy out of the events that occurred today," I say taking a sip of my drink.
"Oh trust me, I don't. Did you see the way Enzo was with Cara?" She counters, I roll my eyes.
"Her name is Caroline, Rebekah. If you are going to talk about her at least get her name right." Klaus says sitting in the corner.
"Oh yeah, I forgot you and her had a thing, if you can call it that. So you mustn't be happy about it either."
"We aren't together, I cannot control her, nor can you control Enzo."
"I'm clearly the prettier blonde, maybe his eyes need testing."
"That's a matter of opinion," Klaus says.
"Maybe he can tell what a horrible personality you have and wanted to get away while he still could." Hayley says, casually drinking from her glass. Oh dear.
"Excuse me?" Rebekah says, turning her attention to the girl sitting by me.
"Do you need a hearing test?"
"How dare you!"
"How dare I what?"
I look to Klaus, who is sipping his drink and watching the argument with amusement.
"You think just because you are all over my brother I won't fight you?"
"I'm not all over Elijah!"
"Are you sure about that?"
"Rebekah, that is quite enough." I say placing my drink back down.
Klaus laughs quietly before helping me. "Yes, do calm down Rebekah, the girl simply made a comment."
"Klaus, are you really siding with her?"
"I'm merely trying to enjoy a drink in peace. If you are going to disturb that feel free to leave." He points to the door.
"I can't believe you two!" She says to my brother and I before she walks out of the door.
"Sorry," Hayley says, standing up, "I should go."
I stand up too, "you haven't got to."
"I know, but I should," she says with a smile. "I'll see you tomorrow Elijah," she hugs me, I gently hug her back. "Goodbye Klaus." He gives her a simple wave, and she leaves.
I sit back down and my brother smiles at me, "what is it?"
He keeps smiling, "only known her for two days brother, a hug already? Isn't someone being naughty?" He says with a laugh, I roll my eyes but join him.
Meanwhile
Enzo's View
The person you are calling is currently unavailable. Please leave a message after the beep.
"Damon, where are you? Call me back."
I hang up.
"Stefan!" I shout as I walk into the kitchen.
"Yeah?"
"Do you know where Damon is?"
"No, you tried calling him?"
"No, I've only tried our mental link." My voice drips with sarcasm.
"Why are you so concerned? He's probably just driven somewhere."
"Because he's upset, and I've only seen him this upset once."
"I'm sure he's fine." I sigh and head back to my room.
Meanwhile
Damon's View
"How could you Elena?"
"I'm so sorry Damon, I didn't mean to bring it up, and defiantly not there." Tears begin to form in her eyes.
"Then why did you?"
"I don't know, it just happened." Tears slowly roll down her cheek.
"I trusted you."
"I know."
"I'm not making the same mistake twice." I pick up the knife and start cutting everything up again.
"Please, Damon. I won't ever bring it up again, I'll never bring up the week in your room thing again."
"Yes you will. You're stubborn, when there's something you don't know you won't give up until you know the truth."
"I will, I promise, just please, Damon, please, just don't hate me."
"I can't hate you Elena, that's half the problem."
"Why is that a problem."
"Because while half my brain is telling me I have every right to hate you in the world," I sigh and look at her, "the other half knows it was a mistake and I should forgive you." She stares at me, tears still rolling down her cheeks, she hasn't even tried to wipe them away.
Sighing, I walk over to her. Her eyes follow me, and as I stand in front of her, I cup her face, with one hand, and use my thumb to wipe away the tears.
"Why are you crying?" I ask her quietly.
"I-I thought I'd lost you, forever."
I gave her a small smile, "you'll never lose me Elena, even if you tried."
She laughs slightly and smiles, she nods at me, and I move my hand and step back.
"Want to help me cook a curry?" Her smile grows as I tell her what to do.
Later
"I see why Jenna doesn't trust you to cook by yourself," I say placing a bowl in front of her, and one opposite her for me.
"Hey!" She says as she starts to eat.
"Elena, you nearly burnt the house down twice," I say raising my eyebrows, and then as she smiles I start to eat.
"Wow, you're a really good cook!" She starts to eat quicker.
"Don't sound so surprised."
"I'm home!" Jeremy's voice says though the house. "Elena, you're here, are you okay-Damon? What are you doing here?"
"Jenna asked me to come cook for you two." I say shrugging and continuing to eat.
"And you did it? And now you're eating here?" He asks and I nod…is that not obvious? "But what about-"
"Jer, we're fine, your food is on the top." Elena says with a smile.
"Of course you are," he says with an eye roll, before grabbing his food and joining us.
A/N- Well? That was over 3000 words…am I forgiven? I was going to leave it at Enzo's last point of view but, and leave the Damon and Elena thing on a mini cliff hanger, but I thought I owed it to you guys to do it all in this chapter.
