The Third Bennett

Chapter 17

I sigh and I walk into my house to see Lana.

"Your dad invited me in. Yelled at me for drinking." she chuckles slightly. "You need to hide it better." I sigh and I lean against the wall.

"Is there a reason you're here?"

"Yeah. Soon enough my brother is gonna find out about you. And I'm here to protect you."

"Why?" I ask. I hear a knock on the door.

"Because I like you. You're a lot like me." she smirks and disappears. I sigh and I open the door to see Damon who looks very pissed. He pushes past me and I close my door.

"I told you to stay in the car. You were supposed to stay in the car. You didn't stay in the car!"

"Relax. I'm fine." I mumble. Damon sighs and walks up to me.

"You're human. If you keep putting yourself in danger that won't be the case for long." I don't say anything else.

"Not gonna say anything?"

"I don't know what to say..." Damon sighs.

"How about you'll stay out of danger?" I shake my head.

"I won't lie." Damon sighs and leaves

Layer that day we're all at the 150th anniversary of founders day. I was drinking water for once.

"Are you drinking...water?" I turn to see Damon. I let a small laugh out and I nod.

I set the glass down. "You're right I should stay out of it...but as long as Elena's apart of it so am I." Damon nods understanding. I smile and I walk out to see Tyler kissing Kelly.

"Again?! God!" I sigh and I walk off. I walk to my car. Someone turns me around and I see Tyler.

"Not the time."

"Caitlin I was drunk. Okay?" I sigh

"I don't care Tyler! Go ahead and kiss whoever you like! I've moved on." I instantly regretted saying that.

"I haven't...who was it..."

"We didn't have sex if thats what you're wondering."

"Who. Was. It."

I look at Tyler. "Damon." I get in the car and I drove away leaving him surprised.

The next day I lay in my bed and I hear someone walk in. I figure it's Lana.

"I'm not going to school and you can't make me Lana..."

"You're talking to Lana?" I get up to look at Damon. I sigh and I get up.

"I'm not talking about this. Especially with you."

"Okay maybe we can talk about how you told Tyler Lockwood we kissed." I roll my eyes.

"It slipped. I needed him to move on."

"Sure....no you told him Because it meant something to you."

"And why do you care?"

He opens his mouth but the door opens and I see Bonnie.

"What's going on?"

"We were just having fun." Damon says with a smirk. I throw a pillow at his face.

"We were talking...and he was leaving." Damon smiles.

"We'll talk about this later." I roll my eyes and he leaves. I look at Bonnie.

"You okay?"

Bonnie sighs and walks out.
