It's bonfire time. Long story short, I don't want to be here. I have to explain to Stefan that Elena is 'home with Ric and Jeremy' and that she's 'totally safe'. I got over to the kegs and grab myself a drink. "Ariana, hi. What are you doing?" "I'm having fun, Stefan. You have a problem with that?" I ask before downing my whole drink. It's nothing I haven't done before. Trust me, New Orleans parties go hard.
"All right, take it easy. We both know you're kind of a party animal." "Uh-huh. Really? You think I'm going to let a blood addict tell me how to drink?" I ask before pouring myself another and walking off. If that doesn't get his attention, I don't know what will.
I go and cheer this guy doing a keg stand. Everyone, including me, is chanting 'drink' for this guy. I laugh as he gets down and looks like he's about to hurl. I see Stefan, my smile falls. At least the plan is working. I raise my cup at him then chug the rest of my drink while he just takes a normal sized drink from his.
I decide to lock in the plan, just in case, and do a keg stand. I flip onto the keg and guys hold my legs up while I chug my liver away. Once it's done I see Stefan and wave at him before walking off.
I'm watching Damon flirt with Rebekah with a small and almost unnoticable smirk. I didn't think he had it in him. No offence to him. Damon's not a bad looking dude. And his flirting game is pretty good. I just thought Rebekah hated him. I guess not. "What's that look?" I hear Stefan ask from beside me. "What look?" "My brother's got his flirt on, and you're jealous."
I almost choked on my drink, and Damon glanced over at us but looked back at Rebekah not a second later. "What? Ew-no." "No?" "No. Damon's like an annoying older brother to me. I'm looking at him with pride. At least one of us is finding someone to get their flirt on with. Even if it is the devils spawns sister." Stefan just nods. As if he doesn't believe me.
"Look. I know you think Elena likes your brother and everything. Let's get one thing straight. I am not Elena. I don't have any sort of romantic attraction to your brother. And I won't. Ever."
I walk away and head to the football field to be alone. I am way passed the point of drunk at this point but I've been drunk 100 times so it's easier for me to think clearer. I lay down and try to find a constellation like I used to. Turns out I can't think as clearly as I thought. Not even a mintue later, no fun Stefan appears.
"I used to know every constellation. How did I forget them all?" "You're drunk. You need to go home." "Fine. Unh. Let me find my car." I slur walking towards the railing. I may be acting a little more drunk tha I am at this point but if it's the only way to get one of my best friends back, then I'll do it.
"You're joking, right?" "Uh-oh. It's the fun police. I thought that ripper Stefan was supposed to be the life of the party." "Well, all right, I'm driving you home. Come on." I climb over the railing and stand on the edge. My shoes are making it a lot harder than it needs to be. While I internally curse myself for not wearng flats Stefan speaks again.
"What are you, five? Get down." "Why? Are you afraid that I'm going to-" I pretend to fall and catch myself last minute just to get his reaction an he flinches in my direction. I pretend like I didn't mean to and let out a playful shaky breathe. "That was close. Klaus would not be happy with you." "You're hilarious." he replies cupping his hands around his mouth as he whispers his response.
"Look, Stefan, no hands." I say letting go of the bar allowing myself to fall farther but at the very last second I catch myself. I let out a giggle at his flich, he looks so serious. I loose grip and start falling. I let out the loudest scream I have ever screamed in my life and brace for impact but it never came. Instead I was met with a pair of arms catching me. I know it's Stefan, because who else would it be? I open my eyes only to be proved right.
"I knew you'd catch me." I tell him, trying to play it off but it comes out all wierd. He sets be down without breaking eye cantact and it's getting kind of wierd at this point. "Thanks." I say to him once my feet are on the ground. He was about to reply when two darts were suddenly plunged into his back. Ouch. I know how that feels and it's not nice. A pang of guilt floods my chest as I look at him on the floor.
"You okay?" Ric asks while walking towards me. "Yeah. I'm fine." "You look, uh, not sober." "I know. At least the plan worked. That's all that matters. Let's get him out of here." We start to carry him out to Rics van.
We've got him in the back of the van. I still feal guilty but once we get him out of here and we all get the real Stefan back and things go back to the way they were. Him and Elena would live out their relationship as long as they can. Elena would either turn or break up with Stefan. Either way, I just want everyone to be happy. It feels like I haven't truly felt that in a while. None of us have. And it doesn't look like the universe plans on giving us a break anytime soon. Klaus is still out there. He'll have to eventually come back for Elenas blood. Stefan has his humanity off. Everything just feels like it's up in the air and it doesn't feel like it's coming back down. Ever.
I was pulled out of my thoughts when suddenly all I saw was fire. "Ariana! Ariana! Open the door!" I try to do as he says but fail misserably. I try my magic but it's not working. Something's wrong. "I can't it won't open! What he hell!?" I climb into the back and start coughing histerically. "Stefan!" I yell trying to get him to come to. He's my only shot out of here. "Stefan! Come on!" I yell louder and start to shake him harder.
He doesn't wake up but the flame goes down slightly and Ric is able to get the back open. "Hurry up before it blows." he says trying to pull me out. "Wait." I try to pull Stefan out. I know he's a vampire but last I checked they can die by fire. The whole reason I did this was to get him back. I'm not about to loose him. While Ric helps me pick up Stefan as he's still unconsious. We made it away from the car just in time. It explodes and knocks us to the ground not long after.
----------
We made it back to the Salvatore house. Damon's getting me some ointment for a burn mark on my cheek. Stefan's who knows where. And Elena is at home sleeping. Damon walks over to me with ointment in hand. "Thanks." I try to take it from his hand but he moves it out of my grasp. "Give it. I can do it." "No, let me." "Why?" "I can't take care of someone who considers me an 'annoying older brother'?" "Ah, yes. That conversation was unnecessarily awkward." "Speaking of, you played your part of the plan really well tonight."
"Oh yeah?" "You had Rebekah drooling all over you and your marshmallows." I let out a little giggle at that part. "Yeah, before she skewered me. I thought you were too drunk to notice." "I was faking most of it." "So was I." "Only most? Does that mean a small part of you wasn't faking it?" "Wh-" "Ready to get going, Ariana?" Ric asks walking into the room. Damon and Ric make up. I think. And I finally get to go home. Yay. Sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~
A/NYay finally this chapter is over. I wasn't really sure how to handle the Damon and Ariana conversation where he's applying ointment at first because that was a total Delena moment and it's sad I had to take it away. I personally don't think Damon should be a love interest in this book. THIS book at least. There will be more books to come after this series is over which I don't know why I'm mentioning that now because this series is nowhere hear done but you get the point. If you liked this chapter maybe boost my ego a bit and vote for it? if you like all my work or just me as an author why not follow me. Make sure you have your Wattpad notifications on so you can tell when I upload a chapter or any other books that you're interested in that are unfinished. Love you guys. Sorry for this super long A/N. BYE FOR NOW <3
