Welcome home

Chapter 10

I laid there with my eyes open. I laid there and let everything sink in. I was afraid to move or talk because I knew I would either scream or break something. My life was over. I'm a vampire now. I will never have a normal life. What am I gonna do? This isn't what Elena and Jeremy need. They need something normal in their lives. They need normal so they can hold on and Be strong. Then my thoughts drifted back to last night and when Damon was holding me. He sang to me and open up. I mean he told me his feelings and everything. But I wonder if I could trust him. When he's with me he's a sweet guy. But I still see how he looks at Elena. He still hung up on that face. Well no it has to be her personality cause he's over Katherine. Or is he? Where is all this coming from?

This weird feeling came over me. My teeth hurt and I felt so dry and felt like fire in my throat. I must be hungry. I didn't want to get up to eat. So I just laid there. This can't be happening. I listen to the people in the house. Jeremy was gone. Of course. Elena was in the kitchen talking. Then I heard another voice. Damon's.

"I don't care Elena."

"Well you should Damon. She's been through a lot and she don't need you telling her stuff confusing her."

"I'm only telling her the truth unlike you. Have you told her? Hell have you told Stefan?"

"It was a mistake Damon. That kiss didn't mean anything."

"Why did you do it then? Why kiss me after telling me your confused?" What? I got up then and used my vampire speed to grab a pair of jeans and a bra and sneakers and ran out of the house. I ran to the only place I could think of. The only place I know no one will find me. I ran to Uncle Johns apartment. I had the keys so I let my self in.

I didn't realize I was crying till I wiped my face. It was streaked with tears. I looked at my phone and saw I had missed calls and texts from Damon and Elena. I erased them all. I flipped through my contact's and found someone to invite over.

I went to the bathroom and straighten myself up. After awhile there was a knock on the door. I went to answer it. The guy from the store was standing there with a smile. I smiled and let him in.

"How are you Brad?"

"Good now that I'm here. You?"

"The same." I grin a devilish grin. I lead him to the couch. I compelled him to not be frighten and have fun. I let the vampire take over and I sank my fangs in his neck. I drained him. His head fell over. I washed my face off. Oh I'm gonna have fun. I smiled at myself in the mirror.

My phone beeped when a text came through. It was from Elena saying she hopes to see me at the founders ball tonight. I rolled my eyes. She really hurt me. They both did. I went into the kitchen to snope and see if he had anything. Which he did. Whiskey in the cabinet. I pulled it down and open it. I took a swig and set it down. I'm not only hurt I'm pissed. How could She? My own sister! How could he? When did this happen? The more I thought about the more pissed I got. I picked something up and threw it across the room. It broke against the wall. The noise startled Brad. Hm guess I didn't kill him. I took another swig.

"Get up Brad we got a party to go to." I walked off to go get a shower but stop. I looked down at him. I bit my wrist and fed him some blood to heal him quickly. It took him a minute to get up and moving. He smiled at me and tried to kiss me. I laid my hand on his chest to stop him.

"No now go into my dads room and get ready." I compelled him. I stared off at him and went to the spare room. For some reason he had a female vampire staying here. John had a lot of secrets.

After my shower I found a pretty light blue dress to wear. And some heels as well. I did my make up and hair. It was a low side pony tail with the ends curled. I met Brad out in the living room. He was wearing a black pants with light white shirt and a black jacket. He tried to look good. Blessed him. I walked up to him And helped him. I unbutton the top two buttons and fix his shirt and jacket. The dress went mid-thigh with chiffon material going to the floor. There was a gap in front. It was a strapless dress. We walked downstairs to his truck. It was a nice big Ford truck. We drove to the mayors house for the ball.

We parked off to the side and walked up. I didn't see Elena or Damon. I stopped at the door but thank goodness Carol was greeting people and she invited me in. We walked in and I scan the room. They wasn't here. We walked further in.

"You want a drink or something to eat?" Brad looked to me.

"Whiskey please." I smiled. He walked off. I stood off to the side so I wouldn't be noticed. To late.

"Are you okay Stephanie?" I turned to see Stefan.

"Yes Stefan. I am." I sighed. I'm not angry with him. He's a victim like me.

"Why did you take off?"

"Cause I overheard a conversation in my kitchen between Damon and Elena. Now if you excuse my date is looking for me." He tried to grab for me but I walked off before he could.
