Possessed by Damon Salvatore

Chapter 12

"Annette, honey, I assume you were home late yesterday night?"

Mom questions, barging in through the door.

Is it morning already? My head feels like its gonna blast anytime.

Ugh, I hate hangovers. And now, I have to face my mom too. This is gonna be bad. For me.

"Mom, its a little early to start your inquisition, don't you think?" I sleepily grumble.

"How dare you? Were you drinking? And you drove home drunk?" she continous.

"Mom, please. We'll talk later. I am not feeling well".

"Hell we won't. I want my answers right now. Here."

Why us so worked up? I mean, this was not the first time I drank or was having a hangover.

"Mom, it was a party. Obviously there was drinks and it was no strong stuff." I assured her.

"And you were drunk driving?" she enquires.

"No mom. I was not. Infact, I don't even have my car right now. I left it at Elena's."

"Then how did you reach home?" she asks, suspicious.

How can I tell her that Damon dropped me? And that he was inside the house at night. And that he placed me in the bed.

"Um, a friend of Caroline's was kind enough to drop me here. And mom, I guarantee you that he was not drinking." I say with sincerity.

"And you expect me to believe that he wasn't drunk?", she answered. " Who was that he anyway?" she added.

"Uh, he is one of the Salvatore brother and mom, you have to believe it that he wasn't drunk. Cause he didn't drink".

Mom's posture changed immediately when I said 'Salvatore'.

"You met the Salvatores?" she asked, awed.

Met? I even kissed a Salvatore and maybe is or isn't my boyfriend. Wait, is he? I think as I didn't have the courage to say that out loud. Especially to my mom.

"Yeah. I did. They were with us yesterday evening. Um, Stefan Salvatore is my friend's Elena's boyfriend". I add as an after thought.

"Well, the Salvatores seem like nice people. But there's something about them that they don't show. Anyway, honey, I don't want you to go off in the wrong path. Please think before you act. I love you."

"Mom, I promise you. I never be rash. And I'll never be late out again. I love you, too". At the end, I choke. She is my life. How can I not love her.

"I know. But I also want you to enjoy your life to the fullest. Now go and get ready for school." She gives me a motherly smile and hugs me. I hug her back. Oh, I love this woman so much.
