TVD - Damon/OC/Stefan Love Triangle 1

Who knew being Damon Salvatore's girlfriend would come with so many insecurities? I Riley Forbes  the adopted daughter had no clue, I mean I knew he had a brief fling with my sister and  well obviously Katherine. But he old fashioned courted me, he wanted to date me and eventually we did, it was all going great, there were zero out of the normal red flags. That was until Stefan sacrificed himself to save Damon by leaving with Klaus for three months.

We all became closer with Elena because she was trying to find Stefan and Damon was protecting her from Stefan's ripper impulses. He figured that he had turned ripper and chose not to share his massacre trail with Elena. But then Stefan came back and you thought that would be the end of it, but Klaus interfered and switched Stefan's emotions off.

This action started to show the cracks or the way I began to see it, chasms in our relationship. Damon yet again was with Elena for some reason or another and I was becoming more irritated. I mean I understood the situation, I lived through it with them, Stefan almost killed me trying to make a point to Damon. If it wasn't for me being a witch and finding a loophole in my compulsion, I     would be dead. But instead of bringing us closer together it was the opposite.

I waited for hours, for a phone call, text, him returning or anything to know what was going on and why he left while I was still asleep. Yet there was nothing, he wasn't even picking up when I tried to call him. Sitting in the kitchen of the Salvatore boarding house like a freaking weirdo and a loner.

"Penny for your thoughts?" I heard the voice of Stefan, glancing up I saw him smirking at me while holding onto a glass of bourbon.

"Why are you asking, you don't actually care?" I question and his head tilted "Curiosity is a emotion isn't it and you don't have those at the moment."

"True enough, I'm just trying to understand why your sat in the kitchen staring into space when you've been known in the past to be out and helping Elena, with whatever her and Damon are planning." He did have a point, I was  usually doing something with them.

"I can't get through to either of them for some reason. I'm sure they're just trying to figure a way  to remove Klaus' compulsion or something." I shrug it off, thinking too much would go into a downward spiral of insecurities that I had done a really good job keeping at bay. You left the kitchen and move to your and Dmaon's room, you pottered  around it, doing the exact opposite of what you didn't what to do.

"Oh for fucks sake." you told your reflection "When did you become this girl? It's honestly pathetic." You tossed your phone aside and went to take a shower, then you got yourself all dressed up before strutting downstairs. Stefan was just coming in, you figure he must have been running some errands for Klaus or something. He let out a low whistle.

"Now that is what I call dressing to impress. I take it he finally called."

"I wouldn't know. I switched my phone off." you flicked your hair back "I decided that if he feels the need to go off the grid then I can do the same, we're not attached at the hip and I did have a life before him. It involved pissing my mother off and partying. Then getting arrested for underage drinking. Wanna come?" I offered, a no humanity  Stefan was better than no Stefan at all.

"I don't think that's a good idea." he denied

"You thinking whats a good idea, huh weird sensation given the circumstances. What could possibly happen, as far as we know Elena is with Damon and no one has died yet what is a few hours not on the clock, Klaus didn't compels you to follow around like a puppy did he?" I asked  pouring myself a drink then adding some witchy powder.

"No."

"Good then get changed, you'll come in handy if any one gets a little too handsy." I say

|what is that"

"Witch version of mind altering drugs, fun. Go, get." Stefan left as you finished your drink. When he came back down he hand changed and the two of us left.

--3rd Person---

Euphoria is what Riley and Stefan were experiencing during the college party they had gatecrashed. Meanwhile, Elena and Damon returned to the boarding house.

"Riley! We're back." Damon called only to be welcomed by silence.

"I can't believe you managed to drop your phone into a river and then my battery died. I hope she's not to mad." Elena dropped her things to one side.

"She'll be fine." he scolded for a moment "I don't hear her heartbeat." he jogged upstairs and looked around before coming back down.

"She's not here." Elena rolled her eyes

"Well maybe she went out to look for us, I'll ring her." Elena grabbed the house phone and dialled Riley's number, it went through to voicemail. "Voicemail. I'll ring Caroline." Elena did so but Caroline hadn't seen or heard from her sister.

"I'm sure she's fine, she must be doing something." the two shrugged it off.

At the party, a frat boy approached Riley who was dancing the night away, he danced with her and placed his hands on his hips, she turned to him.

"Not tonight mister."  but the frat boy wasn't taking no for an answer. "Dude I said no," she tried to shove him away but he held a firm grip on her, before she could think to try and do a spell  Stefan bit into the guys neck.

"Stefan! Stefan no." Stefan didn't stop, Riley raised her hand and caused  him pain so he backed off. She grabbed his arm and pulled him away and out of the party. "What the hell Stefan, there was no need to do that, yanking him away would suffice."

"You speak as if I care. I was hungry and a handy frat boy seemed like a good meal."

"Go home Stefan." Riley went to head back into the party to do some damage control when, Stefan pulled her back.

"You're the one that suggested a night of fun. No  rules. You wanted to forget your insecurities that Damon gives you getting closer and closer to Elena. Feel like your old self." his voice got lower and he got closer making her breath quicken.  He leant closer and connected his lips with hers. Riley stood there for a moment frozen, her mind wend blank before she relaxed and kissed back. The moment was fleeting, she pulled away and stumbled back.

"I shouldn't." She walked away from his fast and Stefan didn't follow, she switched her phone back on and rang her sister to come pick her up and take her home.

----

Damon leant against the door frame of his girlfriends bedroom in her family home. Caroline rung and told him that she was picking Riley up from a party.

"Rough Night?" he smiled making her jump and recoil back.

"What...what are you doing here Damon?" she asked looking rough but feeling jittery

"Well, you weren't there when I came home, Caroline rings me says she picking you up from a Whitmore college party. So I came to check on you."

"I'm fine, I'm just sleeping it off. You can come back later." she curled back down and lifted the cover of her head. Damon stood there scowling a bit but left without question. She finally fell asleep.

In the days after the kiss with Stefan she busied herself with stuff that wasn't going to be around Damon till she could get an internal grip of herself.
