"You keep checking your phone," Eddie said.

I brought my knees to my chest, sinking into the soft couch. "I got a text from Victoria and Damon.." I mumbled. I keep rereading the messages over in my head that I got from the both of them last night.

"Are you?" from Victoria.

At first I didn't know what she was talking about so I replied, "what?"

"Hospital, Damon woke up last night." She said. I started wondering why she didn't text me all throughout the day instead of so late. Then again she probably didn't want to because me and Damon aren't together. That never bothered her before though, she's tried convincing me to get back with him. I have no clue why she waited an entire day to tell me. I understand why she didn't tell me the same night he woke up, she probably assumed I was sleep which I was, I was drunk as hell.

Then before I replied I got a text from Damon asking to see me. I didn't reply yet, then I told Rio and his reaction made me never reply at all.

I felt bad, so bad for ignoring their texts and refusing to go see him. I know he doesn't deserve me visiting him, that I don't have to but it's just not in me. I feel like I have to. That's why I'm even over here; because I know he's the only one I can talk to about how I feel. I can't talk to Rio about it, he thinks I still care about Damon. I do, but not in the way that he thinks. He's the one who even gave me the ultimatum, so I definitely can't talk to him about it.

I don't even know where he is, he already left when I woke up this morning and I didn't get a text from him at all. I texted him at noon to check on him but he never responded.

"Wait, Damon woke up?" Eddie asked, the surprise evident in his voice.

I nodded.

"They're texting you? You haven't visited?" he asked.

I shook my head.

"You don't want to?"

"I do," I replied truthfully. I just want to see him, get the last image of him out of my mind. I also want to let him know I forgive him, he asked for me to and I do now. I also want to go to say hi to Victoria and Martin, after all these years of knowing them I owe it to them to drop by.

"Then why haven't you?" he asked, pulling a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

"I thought you quit?" I asked.

"I did.. but Tessa bought me these," he shrugged.

I decided against being annoying about the cigarettes, I have enough. It isn't my responsibility to keep him from smoking. I can't encourage him to stop when he doesn't want to, especially when his girlfriend doesn't see a problem with it. "I was going to, but it caused a fight between me and Rio," I answered.

"Another," he said. His demeanor changed, a more serious look on his face.. maybe mad?

"What?" I asked.

"It seems like since you got together, all you do is fight," he said.

He's right. "None of our relationships are perfect," I said.

He looked at me. "Emilia, I know that. We aren't talking about mine," he said sternly.

"I'm sorry," I mumbled. I shouldn't have brought Tessa up, it was just a little hypocritical for him to tell me we always fight when he and Tessa does the same. I'm being stupid and defensive for nothing, it's Eddie.

"Well what happened?" he asked.

"He gave me an ultimatum," I said. "He told me if I went to see Damon, that it wouldn't work. He told me not to go see him," I explained.
