Liam and I got to the party and it was crazy. Drunk people everywhere and dancing. I don't even see anyone I that I recognized. I assumed that since it was only underclassmen that it would be tame but it looked like the whole school was here and more. I was cautious not wanting to repeat the same mistakes I made at the last party I attended but this party was way bigger.
"This is crazy Liam." I grabbed his arm.
"Do you want to want to go?" I could hardly hear him over the music.
"No! I'll get use to it." I didn't want to ruin his fun. "Let's get something to drink." We walked to the kitchen.
"Beer or water?" He asked holding both drinks in his hand, with a goofy look on his face.
I giggled at him. "Water." I wasn't drinking after what happened last time.
I got my water and Liam grabbed a beer for himself. I wasn't sure if I was cool with the drinking thing since he was driving. I guess it's not going to hurt either of us if he has a drink or two.
"Hey man! You made it!" Scott came over.
"Hey dude!" He high fived Scott and put his arm around me. "Scott this is Elena."
I smiled. "Nice to meet you." I extended my hand out to him.
He went in for a hug and put his hand on my ass, my eyes widened and I pulled away looking at Liam who clearly notice. They started talking about all the drunk cheerleaders. I was so uncomfortable. Liam's older by a few months but it felt like he was a lot younger, maybe it was the alcohol. I wasn't really having any fun. Liam had Scott to talk to but Caroline wasn't here and I missed her. A part of me wanted to call her but the rest knew it'd be wrong to ditch Liam since he's such a nice guy. I tried to overlook his behavior around his friends.
"I'm going to go to the bathroom." I whispered to Liam.
I didn't even have to go to the bathroom I just wanted to escape guy talk. I was also pretty bummed still about my Mom taking off. I probably wasn't in the right mind set to be here right now but I didn't want to be in that house either.
Looking around the party hoping to lay my eyes on a familiar face when I saw Damon. He was talking to some friends. I sighed walking back to the kitchen and grabbed Liam's hand. He was kinda drunk but still fine to dance.
"Come on let's go dance.' I smiled as we put our drinks down and danced.
Damon laid his eyes on me, he looked angry. I didn't know why he was the one who has a girlfriend he walked over to us.
"Hey. I'm Damon." He shaked Liam's hand.
"Liam. Nice to meet you." Liam wasn't sure what was going on.
I stared at Damon waiting to see what he's trying to do. He looks up at the speaker as the song changes.
Damon turned to me. "May I take this next dance?" He reached his hand out for me.
"I don't think that's a good idea." Liam looked at me, uncomfortably.
"I did I ask you?." Damon glared at him.
"Damon-" I was cut off by Liam shoving Damon. "Liam!" My eyes widened.
Damon laughed at Liam who's clearly drunk but thinks he knocked Damon over which was clearly not the case. Damon was twice his size.
I rubbed my head in frustration. "Can you just take me home?" I asked Liam.
Damon grabbed my hand. "Elena he's not in any shape to drive." He pulled his keys out of his pocket. "I'll take you both home."
I sighed. "Okay."
We took Liam home and stayed silent the entire drive home.
"What was that?!" I shrieked pissed off as we entered my bedroom.
"He's not good enough for you Elena." He stared into my eyes.
"Than who is?! Damon we aren't even speaking! You had no right to say that to me!" I yelled in frustration.
He looked down. "I'm sorry Elena."
"You should be." I ran my fingers through my hair.
"I just want the best thing for you." He whispered.
"What makes you think you know what the best thing for me is?" I was angry and hurt.
"Because I know you better than most people." Damon looked back at me, into my eyes.
"No you don't." I scuffed. "If you did you'd know how much you hurt me!" I breathed heavily.
"Hurt you? I hurt you?" His face soften.
"Badly. You treated me like a child and you wrote me off for some girl you just met." The honesty poured out of me. "The hardest part of it all is that you lead me on through all of this." My eyes watered.
"Lead you on? Elena-" He said softly, he stared at my face as a tear rolled down.
"I loved you Damon." I exhaled as he walked closer to me. "I loved you so much that it was painful." I cried.
He wiped my tear away. "Elena. I'm so sorry I didn't think." He felt terrible.
"No you didn't." I took a deep breath.
"Elena-" He breathed.
"You made me feel something I've never felt before and I can't ever seem to get you out of my mind!" I couldn't stop myself. "No matter what I do." I sighed. "You're always there in the back of my head"
Damon smiled.
"What?" I looked at him, confused.
He grabbed my face and kissed me softly.
"I can't do this again." I pulled away. "I can't get hurt again."
"Elena, I can't get you out of my mind either." I smiled, in shock.
The words I've wanted to hear all of this time.
I wrapped my arms around him and kissed him deeply. He put his hands on my hips, pulling me closer til all the space between us was gone.
It felt like heaven.
I rubbed my arms down his abs as he kissed my neck.
I could feel his hard chest against mine. The kiss got rougher and more needy. My back was pressed against the wall as his hands roamed freely on my body. He slowly moved me back towards the bed. As soon as the backs of my knees hit the edge of the bed, I fell on my back. His hard body followed after. His soft lips never leave mine. In a blink of an eye, we were both naked.
"Are you sure?" He asked me I nodded.
I bit my lip, looking him up and down. I couldn't help, but take every inch of him in. He was beautiful as he hovered over me.
"I love you" I smiled deeply.
"I love you too Elena." Damon said softly.
He slowly moved between my legs before I felt something poke my entrance. I bit my lip. I was nervous about the whole ordeal, but I tried my best not to think about as I felt his length stretch me out. The cloud of lust filling any thought that I had as he continued to thrust in and out. He was slowly at first to make sure that I adjusted, but soon it was fast. He watched me carefully as he kept pushing deeper into me. He was careful to make sure that nothing hurt me. It felt like all time had stop until we both got our releases together.
We laid there for hours in each other's arms. Being with Damon felt like we were the only two people on earth. My love for him was infinite. We drifted off to sleep.
I woke up the next morning.
Alone.
There was a note on my pillow.
Dear Elena,
The night we spent together last night was perfect. I've never felt so loved and being with you was so special. What we shared was so beautiful. I truly mean that. We are special Elena. We can't ignore that but I'm only going to be around for another year and then I'm gone. I feel guilty about what I took from you and how cheated on my girlfriend. I don't know who I am anymore. I use to be a good guy but I'm not who I used to be anymore. I'm not going to be around this summer. I'm spending it in New York, I need to work on myself and how to be the guy you and I both use to know. You deserve someone who will treasure you and I'm sorry I can't be that guy. I wish that I could've been. We had something unique didn't we?
You'll always be my secret valentine.
I will always care for you.
I love you,
Damon
That was the moment I knew everything had changed.
