Warning: Elena lovers may be offended by a Damon statement. WARNING!

Chapter 2

"What am I doing?" Damon hissed, irritated as he paid for the red and orange poppies. The old lady at the register wrapped the flowers on plastic wrap. "The young lady who receives these is truly blessed!" She smiled innocently at Damon as she passed them to him. "Good luck!" She called out to his retreating back.

"Good luck?" He said as soon as the store door closed behind him. "For what? It's just a party. It's not like I'm proposing." Those words out of his mouth stopped him dead in his tracks. "Hah." He shook his head. "I couldn't very well go empty-handed to a party. Why am I second-guessing my own actions?" He ran a hand through his dark hair and sighed.

He arrived at Bonnie's grandmother's house ten minutes later. From the outside, it looked nice and cozy, as the typical grandmother's house would look. Outsiders wouldn't suspect from this point of view that a witch would live within.

Come to think of it, he never had been here, and for that matter, never met Bonnie's grandmother.

He rang the doorbell with sweaty palms. Should he act more nonchalant? Or maybe he should smile and act nice?

The door opened. "Hey Bonnie, I-"

"So you're the one called Damon, am I correct?" Who Damon assumed was Bonnie's grandmother had opened the door and had asked the question. She surprisingly threw off the vibe of a strong lady, even if she just reached to his chin. Her graying red hair was put neatly in a loose bun, and her baby blue eyes studied him from head to toe.

Then a small smile showed that she wasn't disappointed. "Not bad."

For some reason, Damon felt proud of himself for being approved by Bonnie's grandmother.

Damon smiled. "Thanks Ms...ah, Bonnie's grandmother." He scratched the back of his dark head, realizing he didn't know her name.

She just chuckled and said, " Just call me Grams." Then she shooed him in.

Damon spotted Stefan as soon as he entered and scowled. He immediately wanted to punch that smug smile off his face. He turned away and nearly bumped into Elena.

"Oh, ah, hi." Elena said. flipping her perfect blonde hair behind her. "How are you Damon?"

Damon almost ran for it...if it had not been for his pride. He had been avoiding this girl for a whole year, and yet, Elena still didn't notice it, based on how she greeted him with that warm smile.

He hated himself for thinking this way, and hoped he never had to admit it, but he was starting to see how slow Elena was.

Meredith came down the stairs and stared at him so hard, he was sure she knew exactly what he was thinking. But then all she said was, "Hey, long time no see."

Bonnie was next, coming down the stair, seeming to be in a hurry...like always. "Sorry to keep you guys waiting I was just trying to..." She trailed off and froze where she was midway down the stairs when she came face to face with Damon. "Why are you here?"

"Bonnie!" Grams gasped, clearly astonished.

"What? I didn't invite him!"

Damon's face hardened. He should have known he wasn't invited. He smiled his cold smile, knew it was cold, but couldn't do anything about it. "It's okay. I just came by to congratulate you on your dropping out of college." He thrust the bouquet at her. "Congrats!" He said sarcastically.

"See? This is why I didn't want you to come!" Bonnie jammed her finger at Damon's chest.

"Don't you know?" Damon asked, putting his hands into his pockets and leaning his top half forward. "I go where I want."

"Funny you want to be here now, but you didn't want to be here two years ago."

Damon's whole body froze. "So you really don't believe what I told you? " before Bonnie could speak, he went on. "Fine, don't. Just don't ask for me when you need me. I definitely won't be there." Then he turned smartly on his heel and started for the door.

"Hey honey." Grams stopped him right before he opened the front door. "So sorry. I wish you could've stayed longer."

Damon's face hardened. "No, I've stayed long enough. I should have never came."

And he left.

Once again, please review.
