Compelling [Book 2] (Sequel to Salvatore. As In Savior.) DISCONTINUED

Broken Glass, Mended Heart

I ran into my room and jumped on my bed, "I can't even have one friend! Everyone hates me! I'm just Elena's little sister..." I sighed and looked around my room, "we reap what we sow... I guess I should've asked Care if she was okay with Tyler taking me on a road trip..." I picked up a picture of me and Caroline and Elena and quickly tossed it in a drawer as I looked at my other photos.

I picked up the broken pieces of glass, "dammit..." Stupid, clumsy me dropped a photo frame and it shattered into pieces. A whooshing noise sounded and I turned around, "Damon?" Damon looked at me, "are you okay, I heard something break." I nodded, "I'm fine. Just dropped a photo frame..."

Damon picked the frame up, "huh... You kept our picture... Sad to see that it broke, just like our relationship." I sighed, "what do you want Damon?" He grabbed my hands, "would you get mad if I said you?" I pulled my hands away, "you lied to me, covered those lies up, and kept vital information about me from me. And Elena too... Did you guys have some sort of master plan to keep everything hidden from me?!" Damon shook his head, "that's not it... We were trying to keep you safe. With you being you-"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Damon sighed, "you don't stop... You're an avenger, you fight to help the people you love. If we had told you after you came out of a coma that Elena had participated in the ritual, you would've been after Klaus like mad." I looked the other way, "Klaus isn't that bad, he's just trying to help himself, as if tippy haven't done the same." Damon grabbed my chin, "not that bad?! He practically killed Elena, kidnapped you, and then kidnapped Stefan!" I moved his hand, "but he also gave me Stefan back because he knew that Stefan is the only one I trust right now!"

"You can still trust me! Ask me anything and I'll tell you the truth!" I crossed my arms, "for you to compel me to forget everything afterwards?" He shook his head, "I miss you, okay..? I'm not going to screw up again..." I unfolded my arms, "okay... I have one question, just one... Katherine already told me the truth," I lied, "but I want to hear it from you... How close did you and Elena get while I was in a coma? Or while I was kidnapped?" Damon shook his head, "you know the answer, why are you asking?" My heart sunk, although I had broken up with Damon, I still loved him. But I had assumptions that he was toying with Elena while he couldn't have me...

"Answer the question, Damon..." Damon sighed, "she kissed me. She thought I was dying, it was a goodbye kiss. I didn't kiss back, I could only think if you were coming back from Klaus. Then Katherine came and... You weren't with her." I looked down, "Elena... You... I... I have to go Damon..." Damon grabbed my arm, "see? Whenever I tell you what you want to hear, you leave me all over again." I placed my hand on top of his, "I love you Damon... But excuse me, I have to go kill my sister." Damon tossed me over his shoulder, "nope, no killing for you."

I punched his back, "come on! You can't expect me not to kill her! If you found out Stefan had kissed me, wouldn't you kill him?" Damon chuckled, "of course, but you wouldn't let me. Which is what I'm doing now. I love you too, Ella." He set me on the ground, "don't be reckless. Now... I gotta go, happy hour at the grill with Alaric." I pushed his face, "don't get drunk with my history teacher!" He kissed my cheek, "too bad, I already have numerous times. Bye." I smiled and waved, "bye Damon."

I knocked on Elena's door and Jenna opened it, "Ella! Hey, haven't seen you in forever!" I smiled, "Hey Jenna! Who was the vamp used in the ritual?" Jenna froze, "you know?"

I nodded, "Yeah..." Jenna sighed, "Isobel volunteered. Basically suicide after Elena started bugging her again..." I sighed, "thought so... Is Elena here?" Jenna shook her head, "no, she's at the grill." My eyes widened, "That's where- Nevermind, bye Jenna, thanks!"

I ran into the Grill and hugged Damon from behind, "did she touch you? I'll kill her!" Damon smirked, "well hello to you too." I pulled away, "where's Elena?" Someone touched my shoulder and I turned around to see a solemn Elena, "I'm right here, what's wrong?"

I growled, "Don't ever touch him again you hear me? You were with Stefan back then, how could you? You're not a Gilbert... You're a Petrova. Katherine would be so proud of you." I grabbed a glass on the counter and threw the contents at her before grabbing Damon's hand, begginning to storm off before I moved back a few steps, "Nice to see you, Ric. You better be treating Jenna right." And then continued dragging Damon out of The Grill.

Damon smirked, "nice move back there, now everyone knows you refuse to be in her shadow." I raised a brow, "I was never in her shadow, I was just quiet. But now I'm ready to be the Queen Bee!"

Damon threw me over his shoulder, "alright, Miss Queen Bee... Why don't we get drunk?" He smacked my butt playfully and I giggled, "How about... No. I'm meeting up with Katherine later since tommorrow I have to help with the Senior Prom set ups. Such fun..." I rolled my eyes, "I'm only doing it for my final volunteer hours so I can finally graduate." Damon sighed, "fine then, but expect me to attack you when you get home." I giggled and nodded, "fight's on."
