Gabriella Gilbert || Vampire Diaries

Chapter Thirty - Six

Edited

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The phone rings, causing the four of us to groan in protest. "Sorry," I hear Elena mumble, making Caroline, Bonnie, and I groan. Caroline pushes Elena, making the latter fall off the bed. Elena lets out an oof! but doesn't protest.

So it's her phone that ruined my sleep!

"Hello?" Elena mumbles. "Oh, sorry." I let out a yelp as her phone suddenly hits me. "Wrong Gilbert," she announces to me.

Nevermind then.

"Damn," I curse before putting the phone to my ear. "What?"

    "So nice," Damon replies sarcastically. I roll my eyes. "How was the slumber party?"

    "It was awesome, then you called," I retort grumpily. I hear Caroline chuckle from behind me. Bonnie went back to sleep.

    "So, Stefan and Elena are going out on a romantic getaway. I figured 'Hey, why not hold down the fort while being with my awesome girlfriend?' So I called you," Damon replies.

    I scoff. "I'm still mad at you, asshole."

    "Yeah, I figured," he sighs. "Which is why I'm trying to include you today, just like you wanted."

    "You're gonna include me to 'hold down the fort?'" I snap, "Where we sit around and do nothing all day? I feel so included."

    "It's not my fault no one's in danger today!"

    I let out a sigh. Unfortunately, he does have a point. "Fine," I agree, "I'll come over."

    "Do you have any leftover ice cream from last night?" Damon asks hopefully.

    "No we don't!" Caroline answers quickly. We do have some leftover though.

    "I wasn't talking to you, Blondie. Mind you own business." Damon replies normally. That's right, I forgot about their vampire hearing.

    Caroline sticks out her tongue even though he can't see. I roll my eyes. "When should I come over?"

    "Now would be awesome."

    "One hour it is!" I declare before hanging up. I place my phone on the table. I lean my head back on the pillow, getting ready to go back to sleep.

    Caroline turns to face me. "You're supposed to get ready."

    "I said I'll be there in an hour. That doesn't mean I don't get a power nap," I reply with my eyes closed.

    "It kind of does." I open my eyes and sit up.

    "Okay, you don't want me here. I get it, I see how it is. I guess I'll go find a new bestie!" I exclaim dramatically. Bonnie groans in protest of my loudness.

    "Sure." Caroline shrugs before snuggling into the covers once more.

    I pack my stuff, and change into my outfit. My jeans and my white tee look good with my sneakers and leather jacket.

    I leave my hair up in the messy ponytail it is in now. "Bye! Have fun on your romantic getaway, Elena!" I call out before leaving.

    "My what?" she mumbles. As if on cue her phone rings.

    Oops.

    Damon doesn't immediately greet me when I enter his house. Assuming he's hiding somewhere, getting ready to scare me, I make my way to his liquor cabinet.
