Chapter Two

Chloe paced through her room, fighting with her thoughts. She was sure finding this… 'Damon Salvatore' may not be that difficult… but according to her father Damon had hurt her mother, and putting them back together was going to be a challenge for Chloe.

Chloe's arguing thoughts were broken at the sound of a knock at her door. Jumping slightly Chloe heard her mother from the other side of the room, "Chloe?"

Chloe's head whipped towards the letter that she still had in her hands, looking back at the door Chloe quickly put the letter back into the envelope, only to put it back into the back pocket of her jeans.

"Come on in Mom," Chloe stated, as she secured the letter in her jeans, eyes whipping towards the opening door, only to have Caroline walk through the door a little curious.

"Hey," Chloe said faintly, watching her mother eyeing her suspiciously.

Caroline's brows furrowed slightly, "Hey," Caroline chuckled slightly at the awkward teenager before her, "Are you alright Chlo?"

Chloe nodded, plastering a forced grin on her face, "Yeah, just finished reading Dad's letter…"

Caroline smiled warmly at her daughter as she walked towards the bed, "Oh and how was it?" Sitting on the bed, Caroline eyed her daughter who still stood before her, slightly nervous.

Chloe smiled, "It was great, I've learned a lot about Dad and his life through these letters."

Caroline nodded, "Yeah," not able to help herself, Caroline's curiosity kicked in, "What did this letter say?"

Chloe grinned slightly at her mother's curious tone of voice, "Oh nothing… same old stuff…"

Caroline rolled her eyes at her daughter's words, "Okay okay, I get it, father and daughter secrets…"

Chloe giggled slightly, before sitting next to her mother on the bed, hugging her, "I love you Mom."

Caroline smiled warmly at her daughter, as she squeezed her slightly in the hug, "I love you too."

The only way Chloe would be able to find this 'Salvatore' would be to find as many clues as possible, and the biggest clue was right in front of her. Her mother.

Pulling a part, Chloe jumped slightly on the bed in excitement, "So, when are we like going to explore what this little town has to offer?"

Caroline knew this was coming. But she didn't want it to happen so soon. Sure she had moved on, but, there were still feelings… there were still events and memories that were hard to forget.

"What do you want to see?"

Chloe shrugged, "I don't know… maybe your old high school… and that rusty bar and restaurant that you and Dad always used to go to—"

Caroline smiled softly at Chloe, "The Grill."

Chloe nodded, "Yeah, whatever," Caroline rolled her eyes at her daughter only to have her continue, "Oh, and maybe we could visit one of your old friends… like Matt, Jeremy, oh, and Bonnie… Damon Salvatore…"

Caroline's eyes widened at the name that escaped Chloe's mouth, how did she know about Damon?

Damon. Now that was a name to remember. Caroline remembered all of it. The memories of laughter, fun, love. Well that was what she thought… Caroline knew that before her Damon had loved Elena… who knew that throughout all of dating her, he still had feelings for the brunette. Everything was cleared when she had caught them stuffing their tongues in each other's throats…

No. But that didn't matter anymore. Caroline wasn't going to allow her past to haunt her. It had been years since she saw them and she wasn't going to hurt over all of it now. She had promised Tyler that she would be happy, and that's what she was going to be. Happy. No more Damon, no more Elena. Nothing and no one was going to get under her skin now.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

Groaning in frustration, his eyes opened slowly as one of his hands hit the alarm clock next to his bed. Rolling onto his back he glanced over at the other side of the bed to find it empty. Sighing, he got up from the bed, rubbing the back of his bare neck slowly. Walking into the bathroom down the hall of the old house, he groaned in frustration as he looked at himself in the mirror.

"Not looking good this morning… huh," grabbing his tooth brush, he slowly brushed his teeth, sleep still taking over him as he almost fell a couple of times while brushing his teeth.

Rinsing his mouth he dropped his boxers off of him as he entered the shower, waking up instantly as the hot water touched his skin.

Turning the shower off a while later, he got out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist as he picked out his clothing for the day. Pulling on a classic t-shirt, and jeans, he walked down the hall and down the stairs, slowly making his way to the kitchen.

Distracting him from finishing the rest of his breakfast, his phone rang. Sighing, he checked the caller ID, hoping it was her. But, no. It wasn't her.

"What do you want Matt?" his voice muttered through the phone.

Matt chuckled slightly into the phone, "Morning to you too."

He rolled his eyes as Matt continued, "I know that you were probably waiting for Elena to call, but it's time to let it go Damon."

Damon's eyes narrowed slightly, "What do you mean 'let it go'?"

Matt sighed on the other line, "What I mean is that, you two have been having an on and off relationship for many years, but I feel like this time Elena's serious."

Damon sighed, Matt was right, "Yeah, I don't think she's able to deal with me anymore either…"

Matt stayed silent for a moment, before speaking, "Well, could you blame her, you two have been dating for so long, and you still haven't found the courage to tie the knot."

Damon got up from his chair, as she picked up his dishes from the table and towards the kitchen sink, "I'm not ready for any of that yet… marriage, I mean…"

Damon could practically hear Matt rolling his eyes on the other line, "Your never ready are you."

Damon didn't want to stretch the conversation more than it already was. So like what he always did; he changed the subject, "So how's the Grill doing?"

Damon heard Matt sigh on the other end, a loud bang coming from the other end. Damon rolled his eyes, Dean.

"Dean still doesn't know what he's doing… does he?" Damon asked, rolling his eyes at the continuous banging on the other line.

Matt chuckled slightly, "He's a sixteen year old trying to make it through his first job… give him a break…"

Damon grinned slightly, "Alright… I'm heading out now… I'll be there in a few…"

"Okay, see you in a few… boss," Matt said laughing slightly at the last word of his sentence.

Damon grin grew larger, "Yeah, you got that right, I'm the manager of the Grill now, so don't mess alright… I'll be there in a few…"

And with that Damon shut his phone, practically running out of the boarding house as he made his way towards the Grill.

How'd you like it?

I'm working on the next chapter, as I;ve got pretty much all of it planned out... but... I was wondering what you guys wanted to see first in this story...

Damon&Caroline meeting OR Damon&Chloe meeting?

It would be great if you all were to answer that in the review...

Anywhooooo, overall, how'd you like the second chapter to Seconds?

Was it good? Does it deserve a review? ;)

"Everyone just needs to stop kissing me!"
