Stefan Salvatore & Maya Gilbert ~ The Vampire Diaries

Chicago

Damon
"The Windy City" He said with a smile on his face. ~ "Chicago?!" "Yep" "We're going all the way... To Chicago?" "Yes, Maya to Chicago... For my brother; for your boyfriend whatever it is" "He isn't my boyfriend, Damon" She said, sadly.

"Right, you guys... Didn't... Get that far" "Nope" "I'm sorry, Maya, I didn't know" "It's fine, like you said, you didn't know" She said. When I looked over at her, she had tears starting to come down her eyes.

I pull the car over to the side of the road so I can try and make her feel better. Yeah, I'm not the best person in the world, and I don't care about people's feelings. But, Maya, she's a different story, I don't like seeing her like that. Seeing her upset like this is pulling on the heart strings. 😂

"What are you doing?" She asked, looking at me curiously. "Talk" "What are you talking about?" "I know the reason your so upset, and I hate seeing you like this. So, talk to me about it; it'll help" "Damon, I don't know" "Maya, I have never offered this to anyone except you, and probably never will so did it before I shove you out of this car, and find Stefan on my own" "Fine"

Maya
Damon's forcing me to tell him why I'm so upset, obviously it's Stefan. How am I supposed to put it? 'Its your brother?' I know he's trying to help me but I just, I'm like everyone else, I don't like talking about my feelings. Look like I have no choice though, he won't give up until I do.

"What's the point in this? You already know" "Yes, I do but talking about it helps" "I don't like talking about my feelings Damon!" "I get that, Stefan is just like that" "Stefan" I whisper. "We're wasting precious time, Damon, we might have found him by now, but your sitting here, berading me" "1. No, we wouldn't have 2. I'm trying to help"

"I don't need help" "We aren't leaving this spot until you talk" "Ok, fine" "Ok, talk" I sigh and say, "I wish I would've told him sooner, Damon" "You couldn't have known this was gonna happen" "I know, but, I... I-" "You what?" He smirked. He knows exactly what it is.

"I love him, Damon... I just never got to tell him. I told him that I liked him! I don't like him, I love him" "Well, what do you say, we go and find him, so you can tell him that and get him back" "I want him back"

Damon
"...I love him, Damon..." ~ She finally said it. I finally got her to admit it, now the next step is admitting it to him, well we have to find him first.

"Damon?" "Yeah?" Thankfully, we're driving again. "Thank you" "For what?" "Helping me" "Your welcome, it's what friends or big brothers do" We chuckle. "There's a smile!" "We're gonna find him, ok?" "I know, with you helping, of course we'll find him"

She fell asleep soon after that and I got us checked into a hotel. "Are we in Chicago yet?" "Yep" "Have you found him?" "No, I haven't gotten that lucky" "We're never gonna find him, Damon" "Yes, we will" She started crying and I tried my best to comfort her. When she fell back asleep, I called Ric to see if there's been any more murders.

'Hey, Damon' 'Hey' 'Hows the search?' 'Terrible, she's a mess' 'Can you blame her' 'No, um, has there been anymore murders' 'Yeah, I was actually about to call You' 'Where at?' 'A few towns east of You' 'Send me coordinates, and we'll check it out, hopefully he'll be close' 'But, there's a bar near by, you should check there he's probably there' 'Yeah, I will thanks Ric' 'Good luck' 'Thanks I'm gonna need it' 'Bye man' 'Call me if there's any more' 'I will bye man' 'Bye'

"Hey, Maya" "Hm?" "Stefan might be in the town next to this one" "Well, come on let's go!" I chuckled and we went to every bar until we reach one specific one. I had her wait by the door so Stefan wouldn't see her, it'd be a surprise.

"Wondered how long it'd take you, brother" "Well, I had help" "Me too" "Klaus walked out" "Damon, long time no see" "Klaus" "Why are you here, Damon?" "Why'd you turn it off?" "I knew that's what you were trying to do" "Actually, I have something for you" "The only thing I want from you, is for you to leave me alone"

"You won't be saying that in a minute" "Damon what are you talking about?" I quietly opened the door and had her walk in. Stefan and Klaus' backs were turned so they didn't see. 'Go ahead' I mouth.

"Hi, Stefan" She said. He tensed and froze exactly where he was.
