Since your conversation with Damon things had changed a lot, you guys had become quite close, you were often found joking around with each other and making stupid jokes. Unfortunately, supernatural problems didn't stop because you were having fun being normal and before long you were dealing with the fact that Damon had died, everyone dealt with it in different ways and most people were dealing with Bonnie dying, not Damon Stefan had moved away so you were left on your own and that meant that you were sitting in your room not really doing much of anything. The people that were still around were worried about you but Elena and Caroline had moved to live on campus because of the travelers spell and you were left alone. Matt would come to check on you occasionally but there wasn't much that he could do given the fact that he was actually working.

You were again sitting in your living room flipping through channels on the T.V, you could feel your phone vibrating but you didn't even look down at it, it stopped so you curled up further but then it started ringing again you finally looked at it and frowned Stefan hadn't called you in a long time you honestly didn't think that he ever would hear from him again considering he had gone as far as to move away and start a new life. "Stefan never thought you'd call me again." You said as you answered the phone not giving him a chance to actually speak.
"Look I'm sorry about going radio silence on you." He apologized, you rolled your eyes before going back to flipping through channels, making noises of affirmation where you thought they fit instead of actually listening to him but then there was silence and you were about to hang up the phone but then you heard a voice you never thought you would hear ever again.
"Hey there little human, I heard that you've been a mess since I disappeared." He teased, you dropped the T.V remote sitting up, you didn't know where to look, he wasn't actually in the room.
"D-Damon?" You asked.
"It's a long story but I'm back, you think you could meet us at the crypt so I can tell it?" He asked.
"I- Yeah I'll be there." You promised as you stood up, you went up to your room and got ready as best you could without taking hours to shower and do your make up. When you got to the crypt you stopped at the door, you realized that this could have all been a trap or a sick joke, you were so eager to see him that you hadn't thought of that and now that you were standing there, there was nothing that you could do about it now, your eyes moved to the door as someone stepped out and your breath caught in your throat as you looked at him. "You're really back."
"I'm really back, little human." He smiled as he pulled you into a hug before gesturing for you to come into the crypt so that all of you could talk. Damon explained everything that happened with him, Bonnie and Kai but after explaining everything you were left with a different problem and that was saving Bonnie, you honestly didn't know where to start so you all had to call it a day for the time being, unfortunately, they couldn't come home so you head back to Mystic Falls for the night while they said that they were going to break the news to the others.

A few days later Stefan called you, you frowned as he frantically explained that Tripp was going to drive Damon, Enzo and Alaric over the border, you knew that if he was driving back from the University there were only a few places that he could drive over the border and so you grabbed your keys and got in your car, you managed to get there pretty quickly since it was very late and there wasn't that much traffic, you texted Stefan to tell him where you were and that you would let him know if you saw anything, he told you that they had a plan and that they set up a little way down the road, he just needed you to tell him when you saw the truck. You waited for what seemed like forever but eventually, you saw the truck, you texted them and then waited a little while before following after, you watched as everything seemed to go sideways in seconds, you got out of the car as you looked over the border, you were the only person that could go over there, you went to step forward but Stefan stopped you "I'll get Damon and Enzo, you need to get to Alaric." He said and you looked at him.
"But you can't cross the border." You reminded him and he nodded.
"As long as I'm quick we should be fine, I just can't get to Alaric, you have to get to him." He ordered and you nodded, you started running it didn't take you long to get to him but there was already a woman there.
"Who are you?" You asked.
"My name is Jo, I'm a doctor. Do you think you could help me?" She asked.
"Is he going to be okay?" You asked, dropping to your knees and not really noticing that you scuffed them as you did.
"I just need to plug the wound, then stop the bleeding," Jo explained as Ric's hand moved to your leg as he tried to talk. "Do you know him?"
"I do." You answered.
"Okay, open the gauze for me." She ordered as she attempted to do everything that she could to save him, by the time she said that she needed to move him you had blood all over your hands and tears pouring down your face.

When you finally got to the hospital and everything had calmed down you wanted to throw up, you had long since washed your hands but you were still finding blood to pick out from under your fingernails and your legs hadn't stopped bouncing "How are you doing?" You looked up and saw Damon was standing in front of you.
"I'm okay." You answered.
"Mmm." He hummed, "you don't look fine, you know I was right when I said that you were interesting, you face your own death with such bravery but you don't seem to be able to deal with anyone else's."
"I really don't need you to psychoanalyze me." You glared and he smiled as his hand grazed over the torn knees of your jeans.
"Mmm alright then how about after all of this we go out on a date?" He asked.
"Are you asking me out?" You asked, looking away from your hands for the first time.
"Mmhm." He hummed as he sat down next to you wrapping an arm around your shoulder and pulling you into a hug.
"I'd like to go on that date." You said softly as your eyes slid close.
"Get some rest, I'll wake you up when we've got some news, okay." He promised and you hummed in response as you started to fall asleep.
