Broken Dreams (TVD sequel to Broken Reality)

Chapter 40

Audrey's POV

We were still in the motel room, asking Rose all sorts of questions. Elena asked if she was lonely on the other side. Even though I couldn't see Rose, I got the vibe that she wasn't. I felt like she was at peace.

"Is she still hot?" Damon asked inappropriately. I chuckled with a rub of my temple.

After a short pause Jeremy answered. "She misses you." I don't know what happened but my brother seemed very uncomfortable there for a second. "She uh, she misses all of you."

"She was sired by someone named Mary Porter," Jeremy finally got to say. I frowned confused. I had no idea who she was, but Damon seemed like he did.

"Uh, Scary Mary. Well, where is she, Rose?" Damon questioned.

"She'll go and search for her," Jeremy said after a while of listening to the dead vampire's ghost. And now we were sitting tight in a motel room with an awkward silence.

Damon's phone suddenly rang and me and my siblings were left in the room alone. The three of us. Excellent.

Elena started digging through her luggage as Jeremy and I decided to relax and watch some good old fashioned American TV.

"So, what's up with you and Klaus?" Jeremy suddenly asked me. I frowned and looked over at him. He didn't seem amused, or that he was asking just to break the ice. I know Damon said that I'd slept with the big bad, but why the sudden curiosity?

"Nothing's up. We're just friends," I said with a bite of my lip. ...with benefits.

"It's just something that Rose said," Jeremy said with a kind of avoiding tone in his voice.

I now turned to look at my little brother who just stared at the TV.

"What did she say?"

Before Jeremy was able to answer, Damon entered the room.

"Everything okay in here?" he asked with his phone still in his hand. I blinked rapidly because I knew he heard everything Jeremy and I talked about. I didn't want to hurt him; I really didn't. He was my first love, and to be quite honest I still loved him. Even though we fought a lot, he still held a place in my heart..

"Fine," I replied quickly before Elena could say anything. She eyed me from the other side of the room as she got up.

"Okay, well, I'm gonna freshen up. You might want to get some rest. I'm sure Rose will make herself known when she gets back."

Elena and Jeremy went to sleep in the same bed, so Damon and I were going to sleep in the same bed. I wasn't tired so I was just laying in the bed. I could hear both Elena's and Jeremy's heart beats go slower and slower as they fell asleep. Something was just making me feel nostalgic about this room. I didn't know what it was.

As I just almost fell in slumber, Damon walked out of the bathroom shirtless. My eyes opened as I heard him grab a bottle of whiskey from the ice box, putting a black shirt on. He still didn't button it up though. Damon sat down and poured himself a drink. I was watching him drink it. His eyes moved to me and I locked our gazes.

With a deep sigh I got out of the bed. I walked over to the table, slowly and sat down opposite to him. I still had my black jeans and a long purple shirt on. Damon poured me a drink which I took gladly. I downed it very quickly and pushed it over to him to give me more.
