Damon let out a sigh. He was getting bored and Eve hadn't come back yet. His eyes were still burning, but he could see. But the more he thought about the events of Pearl and Anna's visit, the more depressed he became without Eve around to distract him. Begrudgingly, he got up and grabbed his keys. He shouldn't, but he was out of bourbon. Eve was going to be so pissed when she got back and found out he was gone. He pulled out his phone, looking at the picture of her as he pulled up her number. The least he could do would be to call her and tell her he was going out. Maybe she wouldn't be as pissed with him. He took a small breath before he pressed "Call".

Eve's eyes began to open as she heard the familiar ring. The world was fuzzy and dark. Her arms felt cold. The smell of musk filled her nose as she began to see the outline of shelves beside her and a bright light.

"Rise and shine!" A man yelled in a mock cheerful voice. Eve blinked before focus finally came back to her. Confusion and fear hit her as she looked around at the unfamiliar layout of a basement. "It looks like your boyfriend's calling. Want to answer?" Eve's attention went up to the man with black hair. The man knelt down to her, grabbing Eve's face and shoving her phone in her face. Damon's picture was on the screen with the "Answer" and "Decline" buttons lit up. Eve blinked at the picture on the screen. That wasn't the original picture she had for Damon on her phone. Eve glared up at the man as she understood why the man would ask if Damon was her boyfriend.

"What de hell do ya want?" Eve snapped, ignoring her phone all together as she tried to pull her arms to her side only for a burning sensation stop the action. Eve glanced behind her to see her hands tied in a rope that was attached to a pipe. The man let out a low chuckle causing Eve to quickly look back up at him.

"Vevein on the ropes." He smirked, pulling a knife out from behind his back. "And what do I want?" He laughed, pointing the knife in Eve's face as she flinched away. "I should be asking you that same question." He snapped, but Eve only glared at him. "But a better question is," He held the phone back up to her face. "How do you know him?" The picture of Damon lingered only for a moment as the call ended and the screen went dark. "Because if he is your boyfriend, I think you're in a world full of trouble." Eve remained silent as she continued her glare. "You know, the silent treatment is a good comeback but-" Eve let out a sharp scream of pain as the knife she ignored plunged into her chest. "You see, I want answers, and silence won't buy me that." He smirked as he ripped the knife from her. Eve hissed as she pushed herself back towards the wall behind her.

"Burn in hell." Eve snapped as a chill flew through her body as the cold of the pipe and wall sank through her tank tops. The man let out a sigh before standing up and walking towards a table with the light. The man began to 'tsk' her as he placed her phone on the table. Eve looked around the small basement once more. It didn't look like a basement, but more like a cellar with shelves stocked with miscellaneous jars and boxes. Eve looked down at her feet to see that they were tied together as well. Maybe she could get them off if she got the knot loose.

"I don't want to hurt you; I don't, really." The man sighed as he turned around, the knife in his hands dripped something. Eve let out a small scoff at the comment as she watched the man carefully as he got closer to her. As he got closer, he pulled Eve's tied hands up the pipe, forcing her to stand. "I'm a nice guy, I swear." He drew his knife back out and held it close to Eve's throat. Eve turned her head quickly. The liquid on the knife dripped onto her chest. Eve let out a small hiss of pain.

"Nice guys don' use vervain, dickhead." Eve snapped making the man run the blade across her chest. Eve bit her tongue as she tried to ignore the pain. He wanted a reaction. A hand flew up to her chin before it forced her to look up at her kidnapper.

"You know what?" He cocked his head as if he were thinking of something. "You're right." He smirked, shoving the knife into her into her shoulder, cutting one of her tank top straps in the process. Eve let out a loud scream as her skin began to bubble from the vervein. "Maybe if you would just tell me what you know about Damon Salvatore, this wouldn't be happening." He smiled innocently at her.

"Frederick?" A woman's voice rang through the basement. Eve winced as she looked towards where the sound was coming from. "Frederick?" The voice became more concerned as the man, Fredrick, didn't answer.

"I'm coming, Bethann, hold on." Frederick snapped as he walked over to the table, fiddling around. Eve's eyes widened when he turned around with a small piece of dripping cloth and a long piece of duct tape. "Listen, it's just so you don't blow my cover." He snapped.

"Fock you." Eve snapped out an 'o' as he got closer. He put a finger up to his lips as got closer. Eve's heart raced. As soon as he got close enough to her, she quickly lifted herself up and kicked him in the face before letting out the loudest scream she could muster. The man let out a hiss of irritation before he flittered over to Eve, making the world dark once more.

Damon glanced at his phone as Kelly Donovan and Jenna Sommers embraced behind him. He let out a quiet sigh as Eve had yet to call him back or even text him back. His attention drew back to the two women behind him as he was brought into the conversation.

"She used to babysit me!" Jenna smiled and without missing a beat, Kelly retorted.

"And then I used to party with her!" Kelly smiled as Damon leaned his head against his hand as he watched the two interact.

"This woman is crazy." Jenna smiled matter-o-factly towards Damon. His eyebrows raised as he gave her a small nod.

"Not as crazy as you." Kelly disagreed, her attention going back to Jenna as she let out small huff of a laugh.

"Not anymore." Jenna smiled, glancing at her nails.

"Well sit, drink!" Kelly gushed, gesturing towards the bar stools. Jenna let out a sigh.

"I shouldn't." She declined weakly, "I'm more responsible now, haven't you heard?"

"Well take a night off, it's good for the soul." Kelly sassed back as she sat back down beside Damon.

"Great for the soul." Damon pitched in. It would be fun to see Jenna drunk, Damon decided. Jenna hesitated for only a moment before she smiled and took a seat beside Kelly.

"This is not going to end well." Jenna decided with a smile. Damon glanced around Kelly with a smirk.

"Can't wait." Damon muttered before the three clinked their shots together. Kelly and Jenna instantly threw their heads back and took their shots while Damon hesitated, seeing how well the two would actually do before taking his own shot and glancing at his phone again.

"Hey, come on big boy, we're drinking not texting." Kelly sassed after she ordered more shots for the three. Damon looked back up at her and Jenna and threw them a smirk.

"I'm very good at multitasking." With that comment, Jenna rolled her eyes and took her shot, but Kelly leaned her chin on her hands.

"Can you prove that?" Kelly smiled coyly back at him before taking her own shot. Damon raised an eyebrow at her and smirked. Before he could comment back, his phone buzzed. His attention snapped towards his phone, ignoring the two women. Irritation filled him as he saw a text from Stefan, with the usual warning to not do something stupid. "Obviously not." Kelly muttered towards Jenna who let out a small snort. Damon rolled his eyes at both of them as he took his shot. "So, who's the special lady then?" Kelly poked.

"Oooh, special lady?" Jenna asked. Damon once again rolled his eyes at the two, sipping on his bourbon.

"No special lady." Damon muttered, subconsciously looking at his phone. "If you Nancy Drew's want to know, it's my friend."

"So you're checking your phone for every few seconds for your 'friend'?" Kelly sassed. "Why do all the cute ones have to be gay." Kelly let out a whine towards Jenna who snorted. Damon let out an annoyed sigh. He shouldn't have to explain himself to them but he wouldn't hear the end of it if he didn't.

"She was-" Damon was instantly cut off.

"So you're not gay?" Kelly asked instantly before Jenna jumped into the conversation.

"She?" Jenna cut him off. "So it was a special lady." Jenna smirked nudging Kelly who was ready to jump eagerly to torment him. Damon took a longer drink of his bourbon before he continued.

"She was having a bad day and stormed out-

"Out of where, if I may ask?" Kelly prodded. "Like the bedroom?" She smirked at him.

"We aren't sleeping together." Damon snapped, annoyed by being interrupted. Kelly and Jenna glanced at each other with small smirks on their lips. "She was having a shitty day. She's been staying at my place and she got pissed and stormed out to get some air and I haven't heard for her in a few hours." Damon explained, becoming more annoyed at himself than at the two women beside him.

"So a pissy special lady friend." Kelly muttered towards Jenna who snickered. Damon let out a fake laugh at the two.

"You done?" He sassed them as three more shots came their way. The two ladies smiled at one another before taking their shots together. Another buzz from his phone had Damon's attention whipping back to the message. Damon groaned as he saw a text from Caroline.

Caroline: Whr iz Eve? Ive been txting her 4 lyke n hour n no response?

Eve was a grown woman. She could take care of herself. But one more call wouldn't hurt. Kelly and Jenna chatted mindlessly to one another to the delight of Damon as he excused himself from the two before making his way outside to try one more call.

Eve huffed out her nose as she sat on the ground, defeated by her attempts to get free. She had managed to get the duct tape and piece of vervein filled cloth off and out of her mouth, but the bubbling feeling on her tongue lingered. She noticed that the pipe she was tied to was low enough for her to climb up and try and get her phone, but every time she tried to reach the top, the sounds of the outside forced her back in her spot.

The knife was still stuck in her shoulder. She had managed to get part of it out by pulling on it with her teeth, but the end was stuck on something. Something that had probably healed around the knife. Her phone began to buzz again. That had to be the 15th time, or at least the 15th time she had actually heard it ring. Someone had to know that she was in trouble. Damon would have noticed at the very least. Eve kept telling herself it wouldn't be long before someone came. But she did storm off earlier. Did Damon think she was just mad? That could cause problems.

How long had she been gone? Twice she had had her neck snapped. One not long after the first. Fredrick had turned off the light at the table where he had left her phone, leaving Eve in complete darkness. Only her phone's notification light flashed ever so often. The flashing stopped as the screen fully brightened once her ringtone started play.

Eve forced herself up the pipe to try and see who was calling her now. Damon's picture was barely visible from where she stood as she let out a defeated sigh, slumping back down to the cold concrete ground. Maybe if she screamed again, someone either find her and help or snap her neck. At least with her neck snapped, she wouldn't have to wonder if she would ever get out of this nightmare.

Damon sighed as he went back into the grill, glancing towards Stefan as him Elena, Caroline and Matt all stood around a pool table. Ignoring the four, Damon went back to the bar to the two ladies, who, by what Damon saw, had been taken a lot more shots since he left.

"Oh look who came back. How's it going?" Jenna's words slurred slightly. Damon gave her a small smirk as he sat back down besides Kelly.

"You two seem to be having a nice time." Damon said. Fortunately, neither of them seemed to notice his blatant ignoring of the question. Kelly and Jenna nodded in agreement as they both took another shot.

"You sort out your lady troubles?" Kelly asked. Damon held back a sigh he knew he was going to push out. Eve was fine Damon decided. Damon was kind of a dick about the whole ordeal with Pearl. He hadn't mentioned anything about the tomb to Eve or what he went through to get the tomb open. She could be alone in this town. It wouldn't be the first time she was alone in Mystic Falls...She would be fine…

"Yup. Now onto contemplating why life sucks." Damon chuckled darkly to himself as he sat back in his original seat. Kelly leaned closer to him, intrigued by his wording.

"Do tell." Kelly wondered. Damon thought it over for only a second before he decided that the two were drunk enough to forget his issues by the next morning. Or at least have them be fuzzy enough to forget.

"My life is a mess and there is no meaning." Damon shrugged taking a long sip of his bourbon until it was gone, nodding at the bartender. Jenna scoffed as Damon's glass was refilled.

"Don't be grumpy. It can't be that bad." Jenna tried to reassure him as Kelly ordered more shots. Damon didn't even look at either of them.

"You'd be surprised." Damon muttered, looking at his bourbon. "My primary reason for existence has abandoned me and after today's events," He let out a short sigh, trying to ignore weight he felt in his pocket as he spoke about Katherine, "The remains of the shaky ground that I walk on are about to go kaboom." Damon ignored the nagging that he knew Eve would have been doing if she were there. The silence of the two women didn't help him either. "Let's get hammered." Damon muttered, lifting his shot glass up.

"Let's." Kelly agreed lifting her own glass up to his followed by Jenna clinking the three glasses together. The three took their shots with Kelly making a celebratory 'whoo' once she downed hers with Jenna chuckling afterwards.

Caroline's attention went towards Damon, Jenna and Mrs. Donovan. Caroline let out an annoyed sigh as soon as Mrs. Donovan let out a small 'whoo' after taking a shot.

"At least they're having fun." Caroline muttered to everyone with her arms crossed. Everyone was looking at the three.

"They're drunk." Elena sighed out followed by Jenna letting out a loud laugh.

"Remember when Elena's parents busted us here after the homecoming?" Matt said with a smile. Caroline couldn't help the laugh as she remembered the night.

"Oh my God, yes!" She exclaimed.

"Well, we were wasted;" Elena smiled "It was the first time I ever got drunk. I blame Matt." She smiled pointing at Matt.

"Her parents got seated at the next booth." Matt explained to Stefan.

"And Matt had me pretend that I was choking so we could get away." Elena laughed as she continued Matt's story for him. Caroline felt jealously begin to boil inside her.

"Except her dad was a doctor, so he stepped up to save her." Matt continued, making Caroline more annoyed at the two as they finished each other's sentences. Why couldn't Matt ever finish her sentences. What annoyed Caroline even more was the fact that Stefan was just intrigued by the story. He didn't even look like he had a care in the world when he looked at Elena.

"And I ran, slipped on the wet floor and bit it in front of everyone. Do you remember that?" Elena smiled, as she looked over towards Matt. Elena could never have just one guy in love with her. It just had to be two. Caroline bit the inside of her cheek, trying to suppress the angry snarls she wanted to make. "3 stitches, a hangover for days and I was grounded from seeing this one for a week." Elena continued as she looked at Matt and the two chuckled with each other. This was all too much for Caroline.

"I'm gonna go to the restroom." Caroline announced. "Elena?" She muttered as she walked past Elena towards the restrooms. Caroline noticed Jenna tense up as she began walking towards the two, but also noticed Mrs. Donovan glance back at her and give her a quick glare. Why did everyone hate her?

Caroline pulled out her phone as she continued to walk towards the restroom, looking at her texts to Eve.

Caroline: Doubt date w/ the boy n his x :/ :/ :/ :/ he betr not be l8

Caroline: Gurl omfg i m such a jelous bitch! They just luk at echother n fall in love this is bullshit!
Sent: 7:24

Caroline sighed. It was almost 7:45 and Eve had still not text her back. Caroline didn't even think of how needy she sounded. Who else would she complain to? Bonnie wasn't an option with her mourning and Elena wasn't an option because she was Elena. Damon had said he was trying to get hold of Eve but she wasn't answering. He probably pissed her off. He was Damon after all. Once Caroline got into the restroom, she looked in the mirror. Caroline smiled as she bounced her hair slightly. She was pretty cute. But she did come in the restroom for a reason.

"Hey Care, you okay?" Elena's voice echoed in the restroom as Caroline closed a stall door.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"You sure, I mean-"

"I'm good. Just thought we could have some girl time."

"On a double date?"

"Duh. Too much testosterone does not do wonders, believe me." Caroline muttered as she left the stall quickly and washed her hands before pulling herself up on a ledge away from the sink. Elena walked out of a stall and went to the sink.

"So, umm, what are you doing?" Caroline asked as Elena washed her hands. Elena looked at Caroline in the mirror and raised an eyebrow.

"What?" Elena asked innocently. Caroline held in a scoff at the comment.

"Well the point of this was to show him how much you care about Stefan. You know, not to hopscotch down memory lane." Caroline snapped gently as Elena turned to look at Caroline.

"I was just trying to make conversation." Elena defended. Caroline knew Elena didn't realize what she was doing. Elena never knew. She was stuck in her own world of perfection.

"Try less." Caroline snapped jumping down from the ledge and leaving the restroom in a hurry. Elena had to know what she was feeling right now. Even if Elena thought she was being a bitch, which Caroline knew she was, Elena had to know why. There had to be some part of her that knew talking with Matt about when they were dating in front of Caroline upset her. Even if that meant making a small scene that only Elena would see.

As she quickly walked back to the pool table, Caroline heard Elena call after her a few times before an abrupt halt. Caroline glanced behind her to see Elena held up by a man with a goatee. Though she was still mad, Caroline could see how uncomfortable Elena was.

"Elena, come on." Caroline snapped forcing the man to let go of Elena and mutter an apology. Elena caught up to Caroline quickly. The both walked over to the pool table. Elena walked close to Stefan. Caroline instantly cuddled up to Matt in a silent possessive way.

"How's everything going?" Elena asked, a small bit of unease in her voice.

"Matt's cheating." Stefan smiled very childlike towards Matt.

"No need, I'm awesome." Matt smiled smugly at Caroline who let out a small chuckle up towards Matt.

"Hope you two are getting along at least." Caroline smiled. Matt shrugged.

"He's alright." Matt chuckled before both his and Caroline's attention were snapped towards Stefan as he walked away from the pool table. He looked tense as he scanned the grill. "Everything alright, Stef" Matt asked. Stefan hesitated to turn around but shook his head.

"Everything's fine." He turned and came back to the pool table. "Ready to play fairly now, Matt?" He smiled at Matt who rolled his eyes.

"I already told you, I don't need to cheat." He said smugly. Caroline rolled her own eyes at the behavior but couldn't help smile, glancing at her phone once more to see no messages.

"Uh, yeah, this is so much better than watching Damon visit cougar town." Caroline smiled as they entered the Salvatore's living room. "No offense." She stated towards a baffled Matt.

"Don't remind me."Matt muttered still looking around the place. "Man, I've always wanted to see what it looks like in this place." Matt said towards Stefan. Caroline ignored everyone else as she looked around the large living area. An eerie feeling washed over her as she looked at the high ceilings and entrance.

"I feel like I've been here before." Caroline stated after Matt had said something about two of his houses fitting into this one. "It's weird." She said looking around more.

"Do you guys want to watch a movie or something?" Elena said quickly, ignoring Caroline's comment, which Caroline thought was very rude. But Caroline did want to watch a movie. Before she could speak up, Matt began walking towards a case of old cars.

"Whoa! These are great!" Matt exclaimed as he looked at the old toy cars.

"Uh, it's a um, just a little hobby of mine." Stefan replied nonchalantly walking towards where Matt was. Caroline and Elena followed behind.

"I did the entire Mustang series when I was 9." Matt said proudly, glancing back at Stefan.

"You like cars?" Stefan asked, sounding genuinely curious.

"It's an understatement." Matt smiled.

"Come with me." Stefan gestured as he started to walk, Matt quickly caught up to him. Caroline let out a small sigh beside Elena before she started following the two boys. Caroline let out another sigh as she looked at her phone and still saw no messages from Eve.

Caroline: Itz crayz how quick i can go frm happy 2 insecure. I hpe ur ok
Sent: 8:06

Caroline quickly sent a different message to Damon.

Caroline: Can u just say ur sorry 2 Eve so she can talk 2 me n listen 2 me complain? Also lowkey worried sooo
Sent: 8:07

And now all she had to do was wait. Hopefully Damon wasn't too busy screwing Matt's mom. Caroline couldn't help the small gagging noise she made.

"You okay?" Elena asked with an amused look on her face.

"Accidentally thought of Matt's mom and Damon getting it on." Caroline admitted. Elena scrunched up her face as the image ran through her mind.

"Why do you do this?" Elena asked as Caroline let out a small chuckle.

"To make your life miserable, of course." Caroline sassed as the followed Stefan and Matt out a door towards a garage. "I can imagine Stefan showing Matt his garage and there just being more toy cars in it." Caroline muttered with a laugh making Elena snort out a laugh. Matt glanced back at the two as Stefan pulled the garage door open to reveal a covered up car.

"Prepare yourself, my friend." Stefan said as he ripped the sheet off of an old car. Caroline didn't even need to see Matt's face to know that he was excited about this.

"Wait, how do you have this?" Matt questioned as he just simply looked at the car.

"Got passed down through the family." Stefan shrugged as he opened the door.

"Why don't you…" Matt muttered as he walked closer to the car. "I mean, why don't you drive it?" Matt asked walking by the passenger side as Stefan walked towards the back.

"Well...it doesn't run." Stefan shrugged as he opened up the trunk. "I mean, it's not that I could figure out."

"Why would you keep a car that doesn't run?" Caroline intruded the bonding moment between the boys.

"Be more of a girl right now." Matt smiled up at Caroline. Caroline faked a laugh.

"Hey, want to come take a look at this for me?" Stefan said absentmindedly towards Matt who eagerly went to where Stefan was.

"Elena, remember the old Camero your dad used to have?" Matt smiled up at Elena making Caroline bite her cheek once more.

"Of course!" Elena said walking closer to the car. Caroline stayed in her original spot.

"Yeah I built and rebuilt that engine 20 times." Matt smiled towards Stefan with Stefan giving an impressed 'wow' before the two looked back at the back.

"Well I don't like sports cars." Caroline said aloud, "They're too hard to make out in." She smiled smugly towards Matt.

"It wasn't that bad." Matt said looking back at Elena. Caroline breathed in sharply at the comment before Matt let out a small sigh of embarrassment before Caroline left the garage. Tonight had been going shitty anyway. Why did she think it would get any better?

Sure the double date hadn't been her idea originally and she could have canceled. But she thought it would go better. Matt wouldn't look at Elena like she was the only person in the world. She could finally be reassured that she wasn't just the rebound girl. But obviously she was just that. The rebound. No one ever came to her first.

"Caroline."

"I don't want to talk about it." Caroline snapped shaking her head as she heard Elena say her name.

"You're being ridiculous." Elena muttered.

"And insecure," Caroline muttered back, turning to face Elena. "And stupid, but that doesn't change the fact that Matt's always gonna be in love with you and I'm always gonna be the backup." Caroline said matter-o-factly to Elena who only shook her head in disagreement.

"You're not the backup." Elena tried to reassure.

"Yes I am." Caroline snapped. "I'm Matt's Elena backup, I'm your Bonnie backup," Caroline said aloud becoming more annoyed by the second.

"Now it's about me and Bonnie?" Elena scoffed. Caroline shook her head losing the fake smile she had been putting on the entire night. Caroline shook her head with a small huff of a laugh.

"You don't get it." Caroline stated, while Elena shook her head in confusion. "And why would you? You're everyone's first choice." Caroline muttered, finally feeling the impact of her own words. Elena stood baffled by Caroline's words but Caroline stood silent. The sound of a car turned Elena around to see that the old car in the garage was working and making its way closer to the two. Caroline kept her eyes down as the car drove right up to her side. Matt got out of the passenger with a smile.

"Piece of cake." Matt smiled at Caroline. She didn't care, but she did give him a small smile before letting her eyes fall again.

"You know what," Stefan's voice drew her attention back up as he walked around the front of the car. "Why don't you guys go ahead and take it for a spin." He said, tossing the keys to Matt.

"Really?" Matt questioned. Stefan nodded.

"Yeah." He smiled. Matt couldn't even hide his smile as he opened the passenger side door.

"Caroline." Matt mumbled. Caroline got in the car and shut the door while Matt walked to the drivers side. Stefan saluted Matt as he got in the car.

As Damon drove back to the boarding house with a drunk Kelly Donovan chatting up a storm, the weight of his cell phone was almost unbearable. It didn't help that Kelly wouldn't stop talking about him leaving earlier to talk on his phone. He was strongly contemplating taking her back to the bar. The more she talked, the more worried he became.

It was getting closer to nine. Eve had stormed out around one. Maybe she had gone to New York. That sounded like something she would do. On the other hand, she could have done something stupid. Eve had a habit of doing stupid things when she was mad. Damon could only hope she was okay. As he drove into the driveway, Kelly grabbed her things as she looked at the house.

"Holy shit." She muttered aloud. Damon let out a small chuckle as he stopped the car. "My house could fit in there." Kelly said as she got out of the car, still in awe of the house. Damon rolled his eyes as he got out of the car himself. She was already walking towards the door. His hand went into his pockets as he began walking as well. His hand rammed into his phone as he dropped his keys in his pocket.

With little hesitation, he pulled out his phone to check it. Only one notification from almost an hour ago. As he read over Caroline's text, the nagging that belonged to Eve stopped him in his tracks. He could hear Eve's voice as it complained about Kelly in an unrealistic Irish accent.

"I cowld be dead Daymon." The voice nagged. "An' yer fokin' a dunk 40 year ol'." Eve's voice rang in his head. Damon let out a sigh as he walked closer to Kelly. Eve had been around for less than a week and she was already guilt tripping him without her even being with him. As he lead Kelly into the boarding house, she looked around.

"Nice place." She said aloud as Damon closed the door behind him, glancing at his phone once more. Kelly let out a sigh making Damon glance up at her.

"Sooo." Kelly said with a small bit of hair wrapped around her finger. "Now that I'm here, what do you want to do with me." Kelly smirked, biting her lip. Damon's fists clenched. He hadn't lied to Eve when he told her it had been a week since he had been laid. But he knew Eve would have a fit if she found out who he would shack up with. And as much as he wanted to hook up with Kelly, the nagging was stopping him.

With such a long pause of not having the clothes ripped off her, Kelly let out an irritated sigh pushing Damon back against a wall. "Listen. I came here tonight for a reason. And that reason is not to see your nice house." She poked his chest as she unzipped his jacket. "Unless that friend of yours is actually more than a friend." She hissed getting closer to Damon who let out a huff.

"You're still on that?" Damon hissed before his attention snapped towards Matt's voice as he snapped.

"Mom?!" Kelly's attention snapped towards Matt then as well as she pushed herself away from Damon.

"Damon?!" Caroline's snapped as Kelly became flustered by the whole ordeal.

"Oh my God, Matt? Oh my God." Kelly quickly picked up her stuff that she had carelessly thrown to the ground when she pushed Damon. Stefan and Elena soon entered the room, as they began walking to the commotion. Kelly quickly left the house.

"I gotta-" Matt muttered as he pointed to Kelly.

"It's fine." Caroline reassured, shaking her head. "Just go." She muttered.

"I'll take her home." Elena jumped in to the rescue. Damon couldn't help when he rolled his eyes at the situation. They would get huffy at him as soon as Matt had left.

"Thanks, man." Matt muttered as he gave something back to Stefan before leaving quickly. As soon as he even turned his back all of their eyes landed on Damon. Damon lifted his hands in defense.

"Save it." Caroline snapped quickly exiting the house as well.

"Do you always have to ruin everything?" Elena snapped, following Caroline. Damon rolled his eyes as Stefan folded his arms.

"I didn't start this, alright. Do you really think I would have let her be that close to me without doing anything back?" Damon defended to Stefan. Stefan only shook his head as he left as well. Damon's head fall back against the wall. It wasn't such a far-fetched idea that he didn't start something. Stefan wasn't very happy with him anyways.

With a slight sigh, Damon walked to the library and poured himself a drink before sitting in an armchair. He threw his leg up on one of the arm rests and leaned back against the other. Irritation flooded Damon as he thought about Stefan. Stefan never believed him. Even on something as menial as what had just happened. Sure, Damon wasn't very trustworthy, but just a little trust wouldn't hurt. Damon hadn't even killed anyone for maybe two weeks. Couldn't that be rewarded slightly with a little more trust put into him? Damon pulled his phone out of his pocket, quickly unlocking it. Eve's contact picture stared at him. He couldn't even help but smile as he looked at the picture they had taken the first day she had come. He was barely in the picture with his face close to her ear and with her curling away from him with a large smile. The pictured calmed him down as he thought about the day.

"Evie come on, can you just act normal for one picture?" Damon snapped at Eve playfully as she rolled her eyes at the request. "It's not hard, see, come here." Damon muttered, pulling Eve to his side. "Selfie. That's what the kids are calling pictures of themselves nowadays, if you aren't caught up." Damon sassed making Eve roll her eyes at him with a small chuckle.

"Fock off." Eve muttered as she continued to not smile properly. Damon let out an annoyed huff.

"You know, we could have done this the easy way, but you always have to be difficult." Damon muttered, seeing the confusion in her eyes before he quickly had his mouth close to her ears. "Fucking smile." He whispered as she burst out into laughter from the tickling of her ear. Damon quickly took a picture, hoping it wasn't blurry before Eve pushed him away from her.

"Dat's cheatin' ya prick." Eve hissed with a smile as Damon went to look at the picture.

"See, if you would just cooperate, I wouldn't have to do these things to you," He smirked as she rolled her eyes. "But you love anything I do to you so I can see why you're so stubborn now." Damon smirked as Eve's cheeks turned red.

"In yer dreams, Salvatore." Eve snapped grabbing his phone from him. The picture wasn't blurry, to the delight of Damon. Plus, she was actually smiling.

"See, look, I'm a great photographer." Damon said pointing at the picture. Eve rolled her eyes and shrugged.

"It's alright." Eve sassed. Damon scoffed as he put his hand to his heart.

"You hurt me." Damon cried out, dropping his head to her shoulder. He heard a familiar click of a photo being taken before he looked up to see Eve had taken a picture with her own phone. "Excuse me, no photographs please." Damon sassed as he tried to grab her phone from her.

"Oye, if ya get ta keep dat one, I get ta keep dis one." Eve bargained. Damon let out a long sigh.

"Fine, but do not sell, or I will sue." He smiled with a snotty attitude. Eve nudged him as she put the picture as her contact picture for him. "Hey, I never agreed to that." Damon protested. Eve only shrugged. "Okay if that's how it's going to be." Damon sassed, as he made his picture of them his contact picture for her.

"I don't even like dat picture, Day." Eve protested, trying to take his phone from him.

"Too bad, I do. You look happy and adorable." Damon flicked her nose lightly as she tried to grab his phone. "Look, you can see your nose scrunched, that automatically makes this a great picture." Damon said pointing to the picture as he held his arm away from her short reach. Eve let out a huff, giving up.

"Did ya just call me adorable?" Eve asked aloud with a raised eyebrow. "I am a scary monster of nightmares. Fear me." Eve snapped which only made Damon laugh aloud.

"I swear if you're not okay Evie." Damon muttered to himself taking a drink of his bourbon and looking at the other photos he had taken with her and of her. Stefan's footsteps drew his attention back to reality. Damon turned his head to see Stefan giving him the 'did you really do that' look. "Don't look at me like that." Damon whined as he turned away from Stefan.

"Are you crazy?" Stefan asked. "Of all nights?" Stefan snapped. Damon let out an annoyed sigh.

"Save the lecture, look-" Damon got out before something came smashing through the window on top of Stefan. Damon set his things down and quickly flittered over to Stefan throwing whatever or whoever was on him off of him. But not before Stefan was stabbed with a piece of glass.

Damon stood up and turned towards the intruder to see a man with a dark goatee standing in a fighting stance. As he approached, the man took a swing at Damon, landing one on his face before Damon punched him back. Stefan's groans of pain filled the air as Damon held the man up against the railing. Damon grabbed the man's throat and pushed, but the man did the same. As focused as he was on keeping the man off of him, Damon heard a woman's voice start growling out until they turned to groans of pain. Damon saw the man's attention go behind him.

With the opportunity, Damon head butted the man before throwing him over the couch and away from him. Stefan quickly came to Damon's side as the man stood up quickly. He glanced at them before he looked at the woman on the ground. Before anything could happen a ringtone began playing. Damon's attention snapped towards his phone to see Eve's picture. Before he ran to it, his attention snapped towards the man again as he looked at the phone as well. Something flashed across his face...Confusion? The man flittered out through the window without any hesitation as Damon did the same to his phone.

"Evelyn?" Damon answered quickly but only heard bits and pieces.

"Da...far...hel...aped...tom...ires…"

BUMBUM. I know asshole move but I want the next part to be on its own. Sorry for the delay mylaptopisshittybutiswearnowiwillkeepuptodateiswear. On a side now. HOW TO WRITE A SCENE WHERE TWO CHICKS ARE TAKING A PISS WITHOUT MENTIONING THEM TAKING A PISS BUT IMPLYING THAT THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I DID NOT WRITE WHO WAS TALKIN BY ME. YOU FUCKING BULLSHIT YOUR WAY THROUGH UNTIL YOU GET TO THE POINT YOU NEED THEM TO BE AT HAHA. But seriously. Not sure how to do that because peeing is weird and no one talks about it because no one pees in anything. It's a taboo thing.
