Gilbert Girl ↠Stefan and Damon

Chapter 4

Damon's P.O.V

She slapped me!

Elena's in love with me? This whole time she never told me. 

I need a drink now! I took my time and walked to Mystic Grill because I don't wanna deal with Stefan tonight.

I finally walk into Mystic Grill. Guess who's here? The whole gang great! *note the sarcasm* But Vampire Barbie and Witchy Bitchy weren't there. 

As soon as I move to the bar I catch everyone's attention.

"Damon what are you doing here?" Elena is the first to say something. Not anything new.

"Here for the booze Elena!" I walked to the bar. "Bourbon please." Matt goes to get my drink.

He doesn't say anything he just passes me the drink and moves on to clean the bar.

Checking my phone to see if I had any calls or messages from Caitlin. I tried calling her like 20 times and texted her like 10 why won't she answer me? 

Is she safe? 

The chair next to me gets pulled out and someone sits in it. Looking over to see no surprise here. Elena.

"Damon what's wrong?" 

"Nothing that concerns you Elena." I throw a 20 on the table and turn to leave. "Nice talking to you. Goodnight." I leave the grill and continue my walk towards the boarding house thinking about one girl in particular.

 As I'm walking along the side walk I hear footsteps behind me. I turn and see Elena again. 

Does she not get the hint?

 "What do you want Elena?" I turned to look at her "I'm not in the mood tonight."

"Damon I know you feel the connection between us. It's undeniably." She reached for my arm but I pulled back.

"No Elena I do not feel a connection!" I yell the an old couple looked at us so I coughed and sighed "The only girl I feel a connection for refuses to be with me because of you. Because your her sister and she doesn't want to do that to her family." 

"Why her Damon? I know you felt something for me in the past and I know you felt it too." She said almost in tears.

I feel bad. Of course I don't want to see Elena cry but I also can't have her get in the way of my happiness. She has Stefan.

"Look Elena I'm sorry." I grab her hands in my own "But your with my brother and I don't have the same feelings for you. Catlin is who I want to be with." I said softer.

"But Damon-" she tried again.

"No Elena I can't keep doing this with you." After that I walked away and called Bonnie. 

( Italics: Damon, Bold: Bonnie)

"Hello"

"Is Catlin with you?!"

"No why would she-you told her how you felt didn't you Damon?"

"Yes but I didn't know she would get upset."

"Of course she would Elena loves you and even know she doesn't act like it a lot she loves Elena too even if she does hav-" she stopped.

"Has what Bonnie?" I stop in the middle of the street.

"I promised her I wouldn't tell" She said lowly but I heard every word.

"I NEED TO KNOW BONNIE WHAT DID SHE SAY!"  My patience is wearing thin.

"All she told me was that she has feelings for you too. And Stefan." I felt relived but hearing her say Stefan's name didn't sit right with me but at least I have a shot.

"Don't te-" I hung up on her. 

Now I really need to see her. 

Well if she's not at Bonnie's then she's at Caroline's. I vamp sped to Vampire Barbie's house. 

After like 3 mins of knocking Caroline finally answered.

"Where's Catlin I know she's here" I demand.

"I um-er-she-um" She looked behind her then back at me. "I don't know what your talking about Damon." She keeps looking behind her she's clearly lying.

"Oh sure you don't!" I'm getting annoyed with everyone trying to stand in the way of me and Catlin. "Invite me in Caroline. Oh wait I was already invited in." I walk through the doors. 

"NO!" She tried to snap my neck so I snapped hers.

I finally found her sleeping in Caroline's room she look so tired and peaceful I couldn't bring myself to wake her I'll just talk to her tomorrow. Stepping over Caroline's body I opened the door and walked out.

I finally made it home and walk straight to the bourbon.

I hear footsteps and they could only belong to my dear old brother. Ignoring his presence I continue to pour the bourbon into my cup then turning to sit on the couch.

"So Elena told me about you guys talk." He leaned against the wall.

"Oh goody! What she tell you?" I rolled my eyes and looked over at him.

"She said you told her you didn't love her." 

"Yup I did indeed say that." I smirked.

"It better not be about Catlin." Any trace of a smile disappeared from my face. 

Who does he think he is?

"Why?" I place my glass down at the table and stand up.

"I'm gonna protect her." He moves closer to me "She doesn't need to be sucked into all this" He takes another step closer.

Or is it because he has feeling for her.

"Or because you feel yourself drawn to her and you don't want me in the way?" I said while shaking my head. He didn't reply.

"Oh got nothing to say now Stefan?" I take one step closer and grabbed his throat. "Stay away from Catlin. You have Elena."

With that I walk out off the house.

I wonder around a bit but find myself back at Caroline's watching Catlin sleep. 

Caroline walks in.

"How was your little nap?" I ask her without taking my eyes from Caitlin.

"Your an asshole." She replied while taking a seat next to me on the bed. "You really like her don't you?"

Finally I look at her to see her staring at Caitlin. I look back toward the sleeping beauty on the floor.

"Yeah I really do. I'm just not the best at showing it." I sigh and run my hands though my hair "But for her I will make it work."
