Damon drove through Mystic Falls, Elena in the passenger seat. After a few days at the hospital, she was discharged. Elena was just looking out the window, her face expressionless. She didn’t move at all during the car ride, her hand resting limply on Damon’s. He squeezed her hand, but she didn’t react.

Damon couldn’t blame ( Read more... )

            “We kissed,” Jonah said, with a wicked smirk. Damon immediately turned his attention back to Elena, whose face turned bright red with rage.

“You compelled me!” she pointed out, disgusted. Damon’s jaw dropped as he stood up from the bed, enraged.

“What the hell, Jonah?! I told you to back off!” he snapped, ( Read more... )

            “Elena, let’s go get the food ready. We’ll let you guys have a little… chat,” Miranda said, heading into the kitchen with Elena following.

Elena knew what was coming. Questions. And a lot of them.

“That’s the boy you’re in love with?” her mom whispered, pointing toward the living room.

“No, there is no way I’d ever adopt a bunny!” Damon said through the phone. He was talking with Elena. They were asking each other stupid questions, just passing the time.

“I love that mental picture,” she giggled. “Damon Salvatore holding a bunny.”

“Yeah, never gonna happen,” Damon told her, ( Read more... )

            Elena rushed home, her hands running through her hair. She felt bad about the way she walked out on Damon. He didn’t deserve that. She knew it.

But, was this the life she wanted? She didn’t want to be at risk of being compelled by anyone again. That was for sure. But she couldn’t just let Damon go.

And now, ( Read more... )

        “I still can’t believe you went all the way to the lodge to see me,” Elena said, Damon’s arms wrapped tightly around her. She was back home now, after a few days apart from him.

“I know. I’m that amazing,” he mumbled in Elena’s hair, slowly bringing his lips to the back of her neck.

She sighed in pleasure. “I’ve ( Read more... )

        Four days.

It had been exactly four days since Elena left for her family hiking trip, and Damon felt alone. Extremely and utterly alone. It was strange, how much he depended on her for the past few weeks.

“You know, I fed off of a girl today,” Jonah told Damon, sitting on the leather couch. He was staying at the ( Read more... )

        Damon woke up the next morning, Elena still happily asleep in his arms. His face was buried in the back of her neck, inhaling her amazing scent. Oh, how he wanted to sink his fangs into that neck…

Damon immediately jerked away, turning his head to the ceiling. And now, the bloodlust was even worse than their first date, because ( Read more... )

            “What do you think of him?” Caroline asked, pointing to a guy. She was sitting with Elena and Bonnie at the local mall’s food court.

Bonnie made a disgusted noise. “He’s cute, but he’s ordering a Big Mac and large fries. Plus a soda!”

Elena understood where this was going. “Car, that guy looks more interested ( Read more... )

Chapter 10

Jonah sat with Elena and Damon . He was directly across from her, and his friend was very tense.

"So, Elena. What do you do in your free time?" Jonah asked, intrigued by her. She was so beautiful, and he was amazed how calm she was, considering how stressed out Damon was.

"I don't really have a lot of ( Read more... )
