I make my way into my room and close the door, sliding down it. Covering my mouth, I choke out small sobs, tears streaming down my face. Why Elena constantly has to make me feel like shit, I'll never know. What I do know is that I like Damon a lot and although he may be a vampire who could easily hurt me, I know that he won't. Either because I'm Elena's sister, or he could feel the same way about me. I let out a humorless laugh through my tears, not caring how crazy I must look and sound right now from that ridiculous idea. Footsteps come down the hallway, and I figure it's Jeremy, skipping school. Having stopped with the sobbing, I stand up, wiping the remaining tears off of my cheeks, and lie down on my bed. There's a knock on my door, shaking me from my thoughts. "Come in" I call out, and the door opens. Damon comes in and I can tell that he's drunk. He stumbles a bit over to where I'm sprawled on my bed, and he lays down next to me. "Shouldn't you be with Elena?" I whisper, afraid I'll start crying again if I talk normally. He looks weirdly at me, "well I can always leave and go be with Elena but I wanted to see if my friend was okay." he starts to get up but I grab his hand, stopping him. As I do, I feel something warm and tingly rushing around inside me. "Please don't leave" I croak out. Damon smirks, sitting down on the edge of the bed. His hand doesn't let go of mine as he just stares at me. "What?" I ask, becoming shy and awkward. He doesn't say anything, just lets go of my hand and walks to the door. But I swear I heard him whisper "I'm sorry" before walking out the door.

A/N I'm sorry this is short but I'm going to update Adopted By Damon (ABD) next! I hope you all enjoy this little filler chapter. I also apologize for the wait, I've been extremely busy. I'm not all free time like I was back when I was 13 (when I wrote my first story) so please be patient with me! Thank you :)
Love,
