Demon

chapter 114

I just want to let you all know I have an ending planned but to get to that point there could be alot more chapters.

I promise no one gets injured.

My plan is to build on their relationship and deal with kidnapping and Olivia drugging her. But there is so much more I want to cover.  Hope you're all okay with this and don't feel it's getting to much.

Clara woke up feeling emotionally drained however she was suprised to find herself back home in bed.

She knew everything had taken its toll on her and she wanted all the pain to go away. She took several minutes to wake up properly and compose herself. She knew she probably looked a mess and so she decided to pull herself together. She had been in this life for years now and everything had caught up to her. She wasn't ready to be known as vulnerable. She felt a little embarrassed that she had her breakdown at the mansion, the whole mafia probably knew by now.

Damon had placed her in bed and then gone to his study to complete his work. He was prepared to throw everyone in a cell and question them until they gave up all information if it meant keeping her safe.

He knew it could backfire so he went down the tracking route instead. He knew there was something bigger going on and he thought Clara was safe with him.

He now realised he was wrong. Or at least he thought that.

He refused to let her get hurt again, and it killed him that he had done this to her.

Clara meant so much to him and he kept fucking up and with that thought alone more tears fell.

Clara had managed to pull herself together, she had changed clothes and added one of Damon's hoodies. She felt safe. But she was still tired and she wanted to be around Damon so she went to find him.

When she found him,  she almost broke down again. He was crying.

Not many people had ever seen Damon cry.

She knew all the stories about him, she knew which were true and she knew Damon didn't cry.

He got angry, he got violent but he never cried.

And it hurt seeing him like this.

She quietly entered and hugged him. He was quick to wrap his arms around her and return the hug.

"I'm sorry Clara, I'm so fucking sorry" Damon whispered as he held her tight.

"I shouldn't have gone down there. I'm sorry too" Clara said.

"I keep fucking up Clara, I don't want to loose you, I can't loose you. But I know that's selfish of me. I want you to be happy and have the life you deserve, who knows maybe it is a white pickett fence with a  family and of course a successful career. I really do care and that's why I think it's best if we part ways" 

It killed Damon to say the last line. But he didn't want to cause her anymore pain.

Clara didn't understand how much she truly liked Damon until he said they should part ways. She didn't even bother to stop the tears.

Was she turning into the type of girl he hated? Probably. She kept crying and clearly she was attached. Would he find her needy?. All questions she asked herself.

"I will deal with the kidnapping, Olivia, everything. And I'll get you any job you want and if you're ever in trouble I will always be here for you" Damon said. It was breaking him saying the words, he was saying all this whilst hugging her tightly.

Both of them held each other like their lives depended on it and both were crying. Neither of them were prepared to let the other one go.

"I just want you to be happy" Damon whispered.

"I am happy with you" Clara replied.

"Im the reason you're in so much pain" Damon said.

"I don't want to loose you Damon" Clara confessed.

"I don't want to loose you either Clara" Damon replied.

"I promise I'm happy with you" Clara said.

Damon didn't intend to end things but he knew he had to. He didn't want to destroy the good in Clara, he didn't want to become toxic.
He knew he lov..liked her so much. He would do anything for her.

He would sacrifice his own wants for her to be happy. He didn't care that he would be unhappy, just as long as she was happy and safe.

"Can you come to bed. I'm tired and i don't want to be alone". Clara asked. She had come to find him for this purpose.

"Of course love" Damon replied.

Because even though he has tried to end it. He knew he couldn't. Neither of them were prepared to simply end their relationship.

So the two went back to their bedroom and shortly after both were cuddling each other. Wrapped tightly in each others arms.

They both didn't dare utter a word to each other as they both drifted off to sleep.
"Would you ever buy a white pickett fenced house" Clara mumbled.

"One day. Maybe when we have a family of our own" Damon mumbles. He was pretty much asleep so he didn't even realise what he was saying.

"That sounds nice" Clara simply replied, she didn't process it either due to being extremely tired.
