Chapter 4- Damon
"Who pissed in your cereal?" Katherine Pierce questioned as she sat in front of her vanity, her fingers braiding back her blond curls. Elena had just barely left for her date with my brother and I wanted...no needed a distraction.
"I don't want to talk about it." I grumbled folding my arms across my chest. I was being an ass towards Katherine and I knew it but I couldn't really bring myself to care. Katherine rolled her eyes, tying off the end of her braid with an elastic before she pushed it over her shoulder and turned around to look at me.
"If you have such a problem with her actually going out with someone that might be a potential other half for her then why the hell did you push her into it?" She questioned again, cocking an eyebrow at me. Rolling my eyes, I tossed one of the little pillows that sits on her bed at her, leaning against the post at the edge of her bed that held up her canopy. "What? You know I have a pretty damn good point there Damon. It's not like you would have offended me if you went after her." and if wouldn't have, I knew that it wouldn't have- because for all the shows we put on in front of the student body they were just that: shows...and the only person who knew that apart from Katherine and myself was Katherine's girlfriend Rebekah. Katherine and I were a couple for the public only, in reality she was actually like a sister and Katherine's interest in women meant that I wasn't even her type- the only reason we were even "together" was to keep Katherine safe from judgment and bullying and to keep the girls off my back. I never slept with her and only kissed her when I absolutely had too- and even then they weren't exactly deep, tongue fucking kisses.
"I couldn't exactly change my mind after I had just gotten done telling her that I was in love with you not could I?" Katherine rolled her eyes and leaned back in her chair regarding me with a look that I could place anywhere- the same look that I have seen on Giuseppe's face since I was a kid. Damon- you're an idiot.
"Why the hell would you even do that anyways?" Shaking her head again she shrugged, "Never mind, don't answer that, I already know, no brains no headaches." letting out a slow breath she picked up her cell phone as it chimed, the ringtone that of her girlfriend and quickly messaged her back before she regarded me again. "The question is, what are you going to do about it. You know that you don't want Elena with your brother, even a blind person could see that and eventually she will be able too." Letting out a slow breath I let myself flop back onto her bed, silently contemplating what exactly it was I was going to do. I couldn't exactly just suddenly proclaim my love for Elena, she'd think I was lying...and then I would have to explain that I lied to her about Katherine, which would anger her even more. Either way it wasn't looking good for me and what should have had a simple solution was becoming even more of a problem.
"I have no idea. I really screwed up when I decided that she was way too good for me. I shouldn't have taken that choice away from her."
"No shit Sherlock." rolling my eyes I turned my head so I could look at Katherine.
"That's not helping." Katherine shrugged and proceeded to look down at her nails.
"And neither is your bitching about it like a little girl with a crush. Christ Damon it's like I'm more of a man then you are right now. Grow a pair, admit that you lied to her and do what you need to do." Opening my mouth I went to retort to her when my cellphone started ringing from my back pocket. Rolling onto my stomach I fumbled with it for a second before answering, my irritation with Katherine and her blunt words showing when I snapped, "Yeah?"
"I need an out." Elena sounded panicked from the other side of the phone and I knew that it had to be because of my brother. He could honestly be smart when he wanted too but that was only when he wanted too, most of the time he was the perfected embodiment of the dumb jock. Laughing softly, I waved Katherine off when she looked at me like I was insane before putting the conversation on speakerphone so that she could hear what Elena was saying. "It's not funny! He hasn't shut up about the guys that he gets sweaty rubbing against on the football field!" It took everything in me to keep from laughing harder at what she was saying about my brother, able to picture it damn near perfectly. "Come on Damon, please, you know I wouldn't be asking you if it wasn't bad. I need and out, I need your help. Please you're the only one that I can ask." I forced out another laugh as inside I was warring with myself- help Elena, play her rescuer and save her from the hell that was my brother or let her deal with it. Eventually my self-hatred won out and I forced out my words even as Katherine was looking liked she wanted to kill me.
"You were the one that accepted Elena, suck it up and deal with it, the date it probably almost half way over already." Katherine looked livid as she pushed herself up from her chair and stalked her way over to me.
"We haven't even gotten our food yet, not to mention that he wouldn't even let me pick what I wanted to eat! He decided for me, decided what I was going to drink, he decided everything without even asking me. Please Damon, I'm begging you, get me out of here." This time around it was harder for me to deny her and from the looks that Katherine was giving me I shouldn't be denying her, I should be dashing to her rescue, it would give me the in that I needed and probably make it so that Elena forgave me a little easier then she was going too when she found out just how much I had manipulated her. But as it always did my self-hatred won out.
"You made your bed Elena." I grit out, "Now deal with it." Katherine looked flat out murderous as I quickly ended the phone call, "I'll talk to you later." Hanging up my phone, the line barely disconnected before Katherine's hand was connecting with the side of my head in a smack that had my vision swimming- for a woman she could hit pretty damn hard.
"Wow! And you wonder why the hell she went straight into your brothers arms. If I were her and you treated me like that I would have ran in the other direction the second that I could have and Damon I wouldn't look back for anything."
Shaking my head I chucked my phone across her bed, feeling guilty about what I had said to her even as part of me argued that I was doing the right thing. Self-hatred is a bitch.
"It was for the best, she deserves someone that's not quite as fucked up as I am."
"You're so fucking stupid." Katherine shook her head before pointing towards the door, "get the hell outta here, I don't want to hear your woe woe is me bullshit when she just gave you the perfect chance to fix things and you hid your head in the fucking sand." Groaning I pushed myself to my feet and rolled my eyes before making my way towards the door, "Oh and Damon, you better do something to fix all this shit soon, or I will, and you won't like how I do it either." Nodding I licked my lips and pulled the door closed behind me as I exited her room. There wasn't really anywhere that I could go, I wouldn't go home, not with the chance that Giuseppe was still awake, so I went to the one place that I told myself that I shouldn't go, I went to Elena's house.
Jenna looked at me in understanding when she opened the door to me, her look of pity making me feel sick to my stomach. Without having to say anything Jenna knew how I felt about her niece, and stepped to the side, letting me into the house even though Elena wasn't there and neither of us knew when she was going to be home. I followed her into the kitchen where she poured me a cup of coffee and held it out to me, offering me a smile that said she knew exactly how I was feeling. Taking a sip I thanked her and seated myself at the bar.
"Does she know?" Jenna questioned softly, leaning back against the counter, her own cup of coffee clutched between her fingers. Shaking my head I looked down at the cup in my hands.
"No." Letting out a slow breath I shrugged, "and its better that way, she deserves better." Jenna snorted and reached over to pour her coffee down the sink. Rinsing out the mug she then turned to grab a bottle of vodka out of the fridge and poured herself a generous amount into the mug, muttering softly under her breath as she did before finally turning back to me.
"Don't you think you should let her decide that one?" She questioned taking a swallow of her drink, "it's not really fair taking that choice away from her don't you think?" Swallowing down the rest of the coffee I set the mug down on the counter as I stood up, shrugging.
"I'm gonna wait for Elena upstairs Jenna, thanks for the coffee." And that's how I found myself, sitting alone in Elena's room, in the dark, trapped with my thoughts and wondering why I didn't just throw caution to the wind and tell her what I thought, what I felt. It felt like forever that I sat there, going over everything again and again- and just when I had decided that I should tell Elena, to hell with everything else, she walked into her room-
Flipped on the lights-
-and her lips were swollen.
I wanted to be sick.
"Have a fun night." I questioned, reaching over to pick up the bear that I had given her for her birthday, needing to keep my hands busy so that I didn't go after my brother and kill him. Elena reached up to touch her lips, stroking her thumb along the red skin.
"It was different that's for sure." I needed to get out of there. I was going to do or say something that I would regret. Tossing the bear to the side I climbed to my feet, headed towards the door. Elena let out a slow breath as I approached her, and against everything I stopped.
"What am I going to do with you Elena?" I questioned softly to myself, reaching up to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. I wanted to be mad at her, wanted to be mad at my brother, but I couldn't bring myself to be mad, I was hurting instead- an emotion that I wasn't familiar with. Unconsciously Elena leaned into my touch and that movement alone made me do something that I knew I shouldn't have. I leaned down and pressed my lips softly into her, pouring everything that I was feeling at that moment into a kiss that shouldn't have happened. My lips pressed a little harder into hers and Elena made a soft little breathy noise that was like a bucket of cold water being poured over my head. Jerking back from her lips I felt disgusted with myself, what the hell was I doing- she was with my brother now and I had just pushed a kiss on her that she probably didn't want. Not waiting to see the look of disgust that she gave me, I pushed past her and out of her bedroom, slamming the door behind me. Jenna tried to stop me on the way down the stairs, asking what was wrong but I ignored her, instead I kept going, running until I was two blocks away, my breath coming in gasps. I had never hated myself more than I did in those few seconds- what had I done. Elena would probably never forgive me and I didn't blame her, I probably wouldn't forgive myself. Briefly I debated going back to Katherine's but I knew that she wouldn't understand. Reaching into my back pocket, I searched for a phone that wasn't there, I had left it at Katherine's on her bed. Squaring my shoulders I finally decided on Ric- he was probably my only male friend and I knew that he would let me crash there without asking questions, and wouldn't kill me when I showed up at his apartment in the middle of the night without any phone call beforehand. Tugging my leather jacket closer around my body I started the long walk across town, the whole time my thoughts haunted by the feel of Elena's lips against my own...something I was sure that I was never going to feel again.
