"Backseat No More"
"Call me later."
He rolled his eyes when he only heard the dial tone after her words; his eyes never straying from the sight of his exhausted brother as he pocketed his cell phone.
It really irritated him how she could rudely hang up on him time and time again but he always let it slide. He let many things slide when it came to her and a majority of the time; he didn't understand why he would do such a thing.
He had more experience when it came to life yet he let her call the shots. On a strategic level, that wasn't a smart move and he knew that but it turned out that his head wasn't always the one in charge.
It was his undead heart that ultimately decided what he did lately.
It is what's telling him to let the love of his life do things her way for the time being. It's also his heart that was telling him that he needed to do something, anything, to help his brother, who was chained up in the old Forbes' cellar.
He sighed as he reached for the lock to the cellar.
He was about to do something that he knew that she wouldn't approve of but this wasn't about her, this was about his brother and when it came to saving Stefan, the eldest Salvatore was finally going to try things his way.
"You know, if you two are gonna keep me locked up in here for the next decade, I think we can skip the routine visits." He rolled his eyes for his brother's greeting before he stepped inside the makeshift cell.
Show time.

A/N #1: How was that? I think this is the shortest chapter I've ever posted so far...I'm not sure. I hope I fulfilled the challenge Jen! I hope to see a review from my fantastic readers! =D
A/N #2: Thank you for everyone who took the time to read my latest snippet/challenge on Vampire Diaries, it means the world to me! A special thanks to Ghostwriter and Enx2103 for leaving me a review...I'm loving the thoughts that I get to read.
A/N #3: *SPOILER FOR EPISODE* I just want to say that when Rebekah was explaining to Elena that Esther was a witch and that she couldn't be because it wasn't possible to be a witch and a vampire...I squealed because I couldn't believe how similar Rebekah's words were to the ones that I had written for Casey when she was talking to Elena in the latest chapter of "A Journal To Find A Lost Soul". It completely made my day...as well as the Delena goodness at the end of the episode =D.
Coming Up Next: Vampire Diaries (challenge)
