Stefan Salvatore & Maya Gilbert ~ The Vampire Diaries

Get Up

Maya
It's been a rough few days for me after that incident and all I've wanted to do is stay in bed. Stefan and Damon haven't done anything about it yet, but I know it's coming. Although Damon hasn't left the house and comes to check on me like every 5 seconds. So, in all honesty, I can't tell you whose more effected by this... me or him.

I've taken up residence in Damon's bed, not leaving it since he layed me down that night. Not to mention it feels so much better than the one I had. Besides, he didn't seem to mind.

"Maya? Are you going to stay in bed for the rest of your life?" "Mhm" "Well, unfortunately for you, I can't let that happen" "Please Damon" I whine. "No, you've stayed in my bed for almost a week now, and you haven't even gotten up. Maya I had to force you to eat. I will compel you" "Then do it"

"Please just... please? I can't stand seeing you like this" "It's not my fault" I said, starting to cry. "Hey, hey, hey, I know" "Then why are you blaming me!" "I'm not blaming you at all, I'm just trying to help you" "I don't want help"

He gets up from the bed, and grabs my legs, pulling me up from the bed. Thankfully, he caught me before I fell, pulling me upwards, so I'm looking into his eyes.

"See don't you feel better?" "No" "Maya come on, what can I do?" "Distract me" He smirks. "Not... That way" "Ok, come on" "Where are we going?" "To The Grill"

We walk in and I immediately wanna walk back out. He tightens his grip on my hand a little, knowing I wanted to run.

"Damon, I don't wanna be here" "You need to get out of the house" I sigh. "I don't want to get out of the house" "To bad, now stop pouting" He says sternly.

"Your an ass" "It takes one to know one" I mumble. He looks back at me and furrows his eyebrows. I raise my eyebrow and cross my arms over my chest.

"Come here" He said softly, pulling me over to the side- by the bathrooms. I still have my arms crossed around my chest and willingly go with him.

"What the hell is your problem, Maya?" I scoff and look away. "Hey, look at me" He says, making me shake my head. "I said, look at me, Maya" When I did, he takes my face in his hands and says,

"I know you don't want to be here, and I know you wanna be at home moping about, but if I did that every time I wanted to, I'd be doing it every day" I look in his eyes.

"And believe me, Maya, I get you don't want to be alive right now... but, please for me? For your daughter? If not me, then her" I nod.

"Good, now let's go, hm?" "Yeah" I nod.
