prequel to Matt's story - @elena.gilb

The car ride back to Mystic Falls

We arrived at the car and began our journey back to Mystic Falls.

"Okay so can you explain now?" I ask Damon.

"Okay, fine. I was planning to propose to Elena and was gathering everything to make it perfect." Damon told me.

"Propose? As in like get married" I ask.

"Well obviously! I mean we are both vampires who will spend eternity together so we may as well get married!" He replied.

"Oh... okay" I say. "Look Damon I really think me and Elena have bonded a lot whilst you have been gone and so I really think me and Elena will have a shot together, so I would rather you not propose to her, thanks."

"Are you being serious Matt?" He asked me, confused.

"Do I look like I'm joking? I am serious, look how about we have a fight. If I win, I get Elena and you have to leave Mystic Falls and if I win, you leave me and Elena alone." I suggest.

"Donovan you are the strangest person I have ever spoken to in my life but been as I will beat you, sure." Damon said confidently.

"Okay great. We will do it in the Salvatore house garden at 2pm tomorrow. Be ready." I said.

The car journey was silent until Elena woke up.

"What happened?" Elena asked as she woke from her slumber.

"That idiot over there bought you daffodils, and of course it didn't end well." Damon explained.

"For God's sake Matt! All you do is screw things up" Elena said angrily.

"Oh wait until you hear about what he wants to do tomorrow." Damon said, laughing.

"And that would be?" Elena said.

"Go on Donovan, you tell her" Damon answered.

"Me and Damon are going to fight tomorrow at 2pm in the Salvatore house. Whoever wins gets you." I said confidently.

"Gets me? What does that mean?" Elena asked.

"Been as you know we are both madly in love with you, whoever wins gets to have a shot with you!" I say.

"Matt I am in love with Damon, and I don't even like you as a friend so why would you agree to this Damon?" She asked.

"So I can kick his ass, it will be funny!" Damon laughed.

"True." Elena said, also laughing.

"No stop laughing this is serious!" I say "both of you need to understand how strong I have been lately, I have worked out in the gym 3 times this week!"

"And I am a 170 year old vampire." Damon replied.

By the time our little disagreement was over, we were back in Mystic Falls. Damon got out of the car and opened the door for Elena to get out.

"Right, see you tomorrow Donovan." Damon said as him and Elena went into the grill.

"See ya." I replied.

"Matt is on some serious drugs if he thinks he can fight you" I heard Elena say.

"Well it will be hilarious to see him try anyway." Damon said as the door closed behind them.

I knew they thought I was a weak little freak, but they are going to get a huge surprise tomorrow.
