Gianna's P.O.V

Hours after the party ends, and everyone leaves, you hear a knock on the front door, and furrow your brows with confusion as you go to answer it. You pull open the door, and your eyes widen as you're greeted by Damon. His eyes roan your face, and he frowns.

"Is everything okay?"

You wave your hand dismissively and nod. You know you look like you've been through hell, but you don't want to get into it at the moment.

"Yeah, i forgot to tell you that tonight was not a good night for me"

"Oh. Shit"

"Yeah, its been a rough day, and actually I was just going to drive back and stay with my grandmother"

"Is she alright?"

"Oh yeah, i just need to clear my head"

And get away from Jeremiah

You bite your lip, and nod slowly, as Damon stares awkwardly down at his feet.

"Some other night them?"

"Um, I'll have to get back tot you about what day I'm free"

Honestly, i do not want to deal with him right now.

"Its just been a long day and i look awful, I haven't had tome to get ready or anything"

"You look great to me"

Cheesy.

From behind you, you hear Jeremiah scoff, and you close your eyes for a second and take a deep steadying breath.

"I'll call you"

Damon nods, and gives you a small smile before he turns to leave. You close the door, and whip around and quirk a brow at Jeremiah.

"What?"

"You were really still going to go on a date with him?"

"Yeah, so? What does it matter?"

"You're leading him on"

"Who are you to tell me who I can date? I'm not leading him on"

"You're not? Just a few hours ago you were practically sitting on my face"

So this is how he's gong to play it? Treat me like shit, throw that in my face and basically imply I cant date who I want?

"Well, newsflash, Jeremiah, you don't dictate my life. In fact, i need tomorrow off"

You reach for your wallet and keys that sit on the table by the door. You don't wait for his reply, instead you open the door, and call to Damon.

"I lied, I'm ready to go"

You return Damons grin, and ignore Jeremiah calling you as you walk to Damons car. You hop in the car, and watch with satisfaction as Jeremiah stands with his arms crossed on the steps.

I just had to get away from him.

"I'm glad you changed your mind"

"Me too"

You settle in the seat, taking a deep breath, and attempting to rid yourself of the emotional burdens of the day. You intend to try and enjoy your date with Damon, and you cant get that done if you let Jeremiah and your argument loom over you for the rest of the evening.

"This is going to sound like a weird question, but uh, is there something going on with you and Jeremiah?"

So much for forgetting about him.. fucking hell.
