You know that feeling when you can't move, like you are being held down by someone or something and you can't explain why. You just know that you don't have the urge to fight against it, you just let the feeling consume and control you.
Today that feeling came back to me like an old uninvited friend trying to ruin me all over again. I want to ignore it but I can't, so I just keep lying in my bed, letting the feeling consume me like I've done a thousand times before. Hoping that it will go just as quick as it came.
------------------------
Aunt Jenna came into my room this morning asking me why I'm not ready for school and I just told her that I'm sick. Of course she knew I was lying but I guess she didn't care that much, so she left me alone. She must've told Elena and Jeremy because they didn't bother to come to me and ask whats wrong.
So I've just been lying here, only getting up to go to the bathroom once in a while and slipping in and out of sleep.
Waking up I actually decide to go and take a quick shower, hoping that it will make me feel better. After my shower I get dressed into some new pj's and go straight back to bed.

Shortly after I can feel myself slipping back to sleep. Being woken up by a loud bang I jump up and take a look around, trying to find the source of it.
Then I also hear screaming coming from Bathroom and Elena's room. "Elena?" I ask walking into the hall. "What's going on?"
"Oaklyn. Help me get this door open." Elena says pulling at the door handle, trying to pry the door open. Going over I try to help her, but the door won't budge. Trying for a couple more seconds, everything suddenly stops and Bonnie comes out of the bathroom.
"Ok, seriously what's going on?" I ask again but being ignored again. Then Bonnie makes her way down the stairs and we follow after. "Emely." Elena suddenly says making me even more confused.
She starts to follow Bonnie outside and I go back to my room. Falling back into bed I just lay there for some seconds before deciding to grab my book from the bedside table and continue reading it.
-----------------------
After I finish my book which doesn't take me that long, I fall back asleep only to be woken up by someone stroking my cheek. "Hello, pretty girl." Damon says.
"Damon?"
"What are you doing here?" I ask.
"I wanted to see how you are. You usually text me like five times a day but today you were mia."
"Are you worried about me?" I say with a smirk, teasig him.
"No. Just confused." he says, sitting down on the other side of the bed.
"Well I'm doing fine. Just a little sick, nothing to worry about." I say forcing a smile. "You know I can tell when you are lying right?"
"I'm not lying."
"Sure, you aren't."
"You know what Damon, I'm just really tired so if you could leave that would be perfect." I say tears gathering in my eyes.
"I'm not leaving you." he says.
"What?" I ask my voice breking. "I said I'm not leaving you. Not when you feel like this."
I don't say anything else worried that I'm going to have a full on breakdown if I do. Getting up Damon undresses himself so he's left in boxers and then gets back into bed but this time under the covers.
Lying in silence Damon pulls me towards him, so that my head is on his chest and his arm around my waist. "You don't ever have to go through this alone ever again." Damon says, and with that I let my tears fall.
Hugging me closer he comforts me and lets me cry on his chest. And slowly I can feel myself drift of to sleep, letting the darkness consume me.
Damons POV
I don't know what this girl is doing to me but I feel myself being utterly consumed by her. At first she was just a part of my plan but now I can see myself falling for her but I know that I can't let it come to far because I don't want to hurt her.
I can't hurt her. I won't let anyone else harm her in any way.
