Tell her everything

mia's pov;

I sat in the kitchen, it was late now and I was sipping a cup of coffee. Stefan walked in and sat down, I poured a cup of coffee. "you okay?" He asks giving me a sympathetic smile. I shrug and sip my drink. " My mums dead..my real parents I don't know, I'm a witch..and oh wait a very old vampire who apparently watched me growing up claims he loves me, and lies to me. Yeah i'm great" He laughs a little a little and nods. "fair enough..Damons heart was in the right place" Stefan says putting his hand on mine. I stare into his eyes and then down at his hand. There's a knock at the door and I get up quickly feeling a little guilty. "That will be Ashlyn" I tell him giving him my excuse to leave.

Damons PoV;
There was a knock on the door, I ignored it for a minute staring into the fire and drinking. I poured my heart out..why did I do that! I should have learnt by now. I walk to the door and open it seeing a blonde girl. "Hello beautiful can I help you?" I smirk and look her up and down. "Hey I'm Ashlyn..you can if your names Mia" She smiled and I lean on the door. "my name can be anything you want it to be" I feel less stable and take another sip . "don't you think you've had enough?..you must be Damon " she says smiling and walking in. I turn around to see Mia glaring at me.

Mia's Pov;
I walk towards the door seeing Damon talking to her, great. I walk over and take his drink sipping a little. "are you drunk?" I ask him and he slams the door. "oh real mature" I roll my eyes and help Ashlyn bring her bags to the room next to mine. "he's hot" she says sitting down on the bed. I close the door and smile. "he's a dick" I tell her and we both laugh. I join her sitting on the bed and she looks at me. "slept with him yet?" she raises her eyebrow and I act offended and throw a cushion at her. "hey! I was just curious" she mumbled picking up the pillow and hugging it. We chat for a while and eat chocolates and then I hear crashing downstairs. I run down, Ashlyn following. That's when I see Kol. He is on the floor. Damon breaks a table grabbing the wood and picks Kol up pushing him against the wall "I'm so going to enjoy this" he hissed and I run down throwing myself between them and looking Damon in the eyes. "you have to go through me first..go on Damon go ahead " I tell him feeling myself shake a little. He sighs and angrily throws the wood on the floor. His black veins under his eyes slowly fades and Ashlyn stands there shocked. I turn to Kol. "Go..I'll meet you at the grill tomorrow " I tell him and he hesitates before leaving. "We need to talk" I tell Damon and snatch the new bottle of drink of him. "without the help from your friend thanks" I tell him and he glares but goes upstairs. Turning to Stefan I close my eyes and bite my lip. "Can you take care of Ashlyn..tell her everything..she'll understand.
