The Wrong Romance {Elena, Kol and Damon}

Chapter 5

ELENA'S POV

The last thing I remember was drinking someone's blood. I don't know who's it was but afterward I felt somewhat better. I did fall back to sleep or I passed out again. I don't know.

I could feel the sun against my skin. I opened my eyes and blinked a few times, to adjust. I looked around and I saw Caroline sitting in a chair next to my bed. As soon as she saw me, her eyes lit up and she smiled.

Elena: Hi.

She didn't respond. She just jumped up and wrapped her arms around me. 

Caroline: I was so worried about you. I was scared you wouldn't wake up. Well, I knew you would, but I thought you would wake up as as.....

Elena: It's okay. What happened? 

She pulled away and sat on the bed in front of me.

Caroline: We came to save you. I carries you to the car while Stefan and Damon fought Kol. I tried to give you my blood but you wouldn't drink it. Then you wouldn't wake up. I checked your pulse and I could've sworn that it stopped. But you started to move slightly and it was like your heart just magically started. I mean I wouldn't doubt it since Bonnie was there. Anyways, I gave you my blood again and once you were healed, but you passed out again.

Elena: Thank you.

Caroline: Of course. You're my best friend. 

I smiled a bit.

Caroline: That reminds me, I need to tell you something. 

Elena: Go ahead.

Caroline: I know I haven't been the most amazing best friend lately-

Elena: Caroline-

Caroline: No just let me finish. Please

I nodded.

Caroline: I have been the judging you for a lot of things. Specifically, your choice. I know I've been talking a lot about how terrible Damon is and how amazing Stefan is. And I do believe you and Stefan were the perfect couple. Its not my life either. I get that Damon probably!g acts a different way towards you. I just want you to know that no matter who you choose, you will always be my best friend. My sister. And I love you.

Elena: I love you too Care. And I accept your apology and you will also always be my best friend. 

I hugged her once more. I heard footsteps. When I looked up Damon was there. Caroline pulled away. 

Caroline: I'll let you two talk.

She walked to the door,  it before she walked out she turned around and gave me a thumbs up and winked. I rolled my eyes. Damon walked over and sat in front of me.

Elena Hi.

Damon: Hey. How are you feeling?

Elena: Better. But still sore.

Damon: Do you remember what happened? 

Elena: Everything is kind of a blur but yeah. I remember that Kol attacked you and then he took me to whatever that was and tortured me to get even with you.

Damon: I am so sorry that he did that to you.

Elena: It's not your fault.

Damon: Technically it is. As you said, he wanted to get even with me.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him into a hug.

Elena: If you're going to blame someone, blame Stefan. He's the one who convinced me to come. But it's not like he knew it was going to happen.  So don't kill him. Please.

I heard him chuckle. 

Damon: Nah. I mean I'd love to, but nothing good would come out of that. 

I pulled away. 

Elena: And since when do you do good?

Damon: Well, I don't but... I-.. 

I smiled.

Damon: Shut up.

Elena: I didn't say anything! Look, there's something that I need to ask you. 

Damon: You have...

He looked at his wrist.

Damon: Ah who am I kidding? I have nothing to do.

Elena: There's this thing- dance at school. Will you go with me? And don't say you don't dance! That's Stefan's excuse and you know it!

He was about to say something but I cut him off.

Elena: I've seen you dance before. 

He looked amused.

Damon: Yeah. Sure. But for now, you need to rest.

Elena: Tell me I can still use the bathroom alone?

Damon: I'm not Caroline. Or Stefan. Or anyone but me! So, you're good.

Elena: They're letting you stay?

Damon: We all agreed that someone should stay and we also all agreed that I should stay.

Elena: That's... surprising.

Damon: Maybe they are still recovering from when they hit their heads.

I laughed a bit. Stefan, Bonnie, and Jeremy came into the room.

Bonnie: Hey. Are you doing better?

Elena: Yes. Very.

Stefan: Well I'm going home. So is Caroline.

Jeremy: I'm going with Bonnie. There are things we need to talk about.

Bonnie: I'd rather do it my house than here. You know, considering we'd have ears on us.

She glared at Damon.

Damon: What?

Jeremy: I'll see you at the dance. Okay?

I nodded.

Bonnie: Bye Elena! 

Stefan: See you.

They all left. I was going to take a shower and throw away my clothes, but then I looked at them, I saw that I was wearing a shirt and shorts.

Elena: When did this happen?

Damon: Oh, that was Jeremy. He thought you'd be more comfortable in that. 

Elena: Well he was right. I'm hungry.

I pushed the covers off of me and walked downstairs to the kitchen. I opened the fridge and got some pizza out. I got out a plate and put the pizza in the microwave. I turned around and saw Damon smiling at me. 

Elena: What? I'm hungry?

Damon: No. I get that. It's just-.... Never mind. Do you want to watch a movie?

Elena: Sure! I'll get the popcorn and the ice cream. You pick you the movie!

Damon: Alright. 

Once my pizza was done, I started making the popcorn. Then I got out the ice cream and some chocolate I found. I practically skipped into the living room. I don't know why I felt so happy. It's probably just the blood. I put all the stuff down and walked to one of the closets and got a blanket. I walked back into the living room and threw myself down onto the couch. Damon walked in with 2 bottles of soda.

Elena: Gimme!

Damon: Calm down over there! You're surprisingly.... hyper.

He handed me one of the bottles. 

Elena: I blame Caroline blood.

Damon: Ah.

Elena: What movie did you pick?

Damon: Oh just a little movie called The Grudge.

Elena: I hate horror movies.

Damon: I know.

I sighed. I spread the blanket out and pulled it up to my shoulders.
