Love Sucks - The Vampire Diaries - Damon Salvatore

*55*

Klaus and I chatted the entire ride home. I found out all about the originals and their history in general, along with how Damon and everyone knew them. Seemed like there was always some drama somewhere with this group of people... I let Klaus into my current situation....

"So, you dumped Damon to sleep with Stefan, only to then go back to Damon?" Klaus frowned as he drove along a narrow road. It had started getting darker and I hated driving or being in the car in the dark. It just made me feel way too uncomfortable, like anything could happen.

"I didn't dump Damon to sleep with Stefan. It just happened." I tried to explain, but neither made me sound good.

"Just happened? He didn't slip and fall and slide in there." Klaus rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"Oh my God, this is so embarrassing." I held my head in my hands and tried to think of anything else....

Klaus poked me in the shoulder, "Why?"

I lifted my head, let out a deep breath and turned to him, "Because, it's one thing trying to talk to Caroline about this kind of stuff, but to a guy? I've never had any experience before this so it's kinda embarrassing!"

"Nothing embarrasses me. I've been around way too long." I could tell he was trying to make me feel better, more comfortable, but it wasn't really working. All I could think about was how many people Klaus must have slept with in his time.... I'm on two in little under 5 months.... times that by... a lot .... loads. Let's just go with loads.

I paused for a moment, "What's it like living forever?"

Klaus shrugged, "It's alright. You get to see how the world evolves and how people evolve. The new inventions people create, if they were right about how life would be like in the future." he paused for a moment and glanced over to me quickly, "It's sad when you make friends and you watch them die around you."

"I'm guessing you have your own little group that is always with you?"

"My family. We're always there for each other."

"Family's important to you immortals then?" I never had that close family bond. I came close with Matt and Vicki, but when I wasn't allowed to see them we kind of drifted apart. I missed how Matt and I used to be. I missed Vicki at times too. I wasn't as close to her as Matt, but she still cared and loved me more than my own parents. I've never missed them.

"I'm not immortal. Things can kill me. But yes, family is important. You get that after a couple hundred years."

"Damon and Stefan? If they had to choose between me or the other brother..." I knew the answer, but I just needed confirmation. Someone else to say it so my brain actually heard this: don't get between brothers!

"They'd always choose the brother. Always. Nothing's more important than family." I noticed Klaus look over to me out of the corner of my eye. I was looking down at the car floor, examining the laces on my trainers to avoid eye contact.

"The only family I have left is Matty and he refuses to talk to me." I held back tears, not wanting to cry again. I had done enough crying the passed few months that I was sick of it.

"Ah, Mr Donovan... Are you a Donovan too?" Klaus asked, sounding as if he was trying to change the subject a little.

"No. I took my dads name. But, I don't want that either." I screwed up my face at the thought of him. Matt and Vicki had taken their mothers name, my mothers last name. But as my parents were married, I took my dads.

"What about you become a Mikaelson?" Klaus suddenly blurted out.

I shot my head round to look at him, confusion covering my face, "What?"

"Become a Mikaelson. I'm sure you'd fit right in."

"But I'm not a hybrid"

"Neither are my siblings."

"Or a vampire. Or special in anyway."

Klaus smirked and turned to me, "But you are. And you need to start believing it."

I paused for a moment, thinking it all over, "Olivia Mikaelson? Doesn't sound half bad."

"You know what sounds better?" Klaus asked. I raised my eyebrow at him, wondering where this was going, "Olivia Salvatore." I rolled my eyes and looked out the window. "But I guess you'd have to pick between the brothers before that happens..."

I punched him in the arm as he laughed, "And we're back in a circle with the conversation" I sighed, "Look, it was a bump in the road -

"You mean a hump" Klaus carried on laughing and smirked at his joke.

"Oh my God!" I laughed along with him, pushing him again before he grabbed my hand to stop me.

"Driving! Unless you want to die." he let go of my hand and smiled.

"Anyway, I regret sleeping with Stefan." Klaus looked at me. He didn't believe me. "OK, so I don't. But I do as well. It was amazing, just insensitive and idiotic of me."

"You know Damon slept with Vicki, Caroline and Elena before he slept with you?"

"what?" He slept with my cousin and my mate? And yet he's getting pissy at me!?

"Oh yeah. That's the problem with groups of friends; at some point everyone would have slept with everyone."

"But you didn't say Bonnie." I corrected him. At least Bonnie hasn't slept with the two brothers.... one of few.

"Bonnie has a bit more self respect then that." He smirked again, teasing me yet again.

"Hey! That's my boyfriend you're hating on!" I pushed him, laughing with him.

"Doesn't make it less true..."

I folded my arms over my chest in a cake huff, "OK, I can see why Caroline's indifferent about you."

"So you've talked about me?"

I rolled my eyes and looked back out the window. From the corner of my eye I could see Klaus smirking. I guess he wasn't as bad as Caroline had made him out. He was actually quite sweet.

I curled up a little in the seat and tried to get a little shut eye before returning back to the Salvatore house and to the shit show I call my life....
