Reckless Love

Chapter 14

~Damon~

What the hell!? One minute of listening to Stefan and lexi talk crap and she's pissed...again! The fact I know Stefan or even lexi probably heard Elena answer the phone, after all they're far from deaf? But shit I wouldn't hurt Elena! Why won't she believe I'm changing.. for HER god damnit Elena Gilbert I love you stop being such a brat.

"Fine Elena if you want me to go I'll go, I'm not arguing with you or falling out over something so little yet again, you push me away then you're all Damon no come here come here then as if there's a switch turning on and off you're pushing me away AGAIN I love you Elena I just don't know what you want" I throw my arms up I'm pissed what the hell does she actually want I get I may be here forever or whatever dumb crap but I cannot wait forever.

I sigh as I put my shirt back on, my hair is damp but who cares, not like I'll catch a cold, I fasten up my boots and head for my jacket before I leave, I go over to where Elena is still sitting in a bath robe I grab my phone and stuff it into my pocket I look at her and she just looks blankly yet so sad, I lean forward and kiss her head.
As I'm about to leave she yells, like near enough screams "no" and I turn and she's in tears, damn she cries a lot. I drop my jacket and go straight over, I sit down and pull her into my lap, she's curled in a ball just crying to herself
"I'm s-so sorry" she sniffles and breathes between sobs, but what for? "Damon I want you I do, but I'm scared, not for my life but for us, I'm a wreck you know this, your brother hates me, frightens me even, and you try your damn best with me but I push you away, because you don't deserve a wreck like me in your life, I'm going to grow old and horrible and you'll be as young and handsome as ever"

"Elena it's okay we live for today not the future, let's just live for the now" I kiss her head and she finally smiles, I think she's scared of Stefan hurting her... again.
We fell asleep at Elenas, but I'm woken early, by yelling "Lena sweetie you home" it sounds like mr Gilbert, I want to ask him to shut the hell up because she's hardly had any rest lately, the dog goes pounding out of the bedroom down stairs to him, "LENA?" god damn shut up, I lightly nudge Elena to wake her she blinks a couple times then groans "sorry baby, but your dad is calling, I guess he's home" she quickly jumps up "you have to leave!, quick do what you do, out the window" what the hell I jump from her window and look back, she's already gone "does her father not like me anymore" I text her "what's up? Xx"
I decide to go home which doesn't take me long obviously, Zach is sitting in the living room, whiskey in his hand "where the fuck have you been!" He snaps at me, excuse me? "I've been with Elena who knows about me and Stefan and knows what Stefan did to her and is SCARED of even being alone in her own town" I spit back at him and he shakes his head "I don't blame the girl she's better off without, the whole town is" he laughs sarcastically and throws a newspaper over at me it reads "family mauled by wild animal as they camp out for the weekend" I sink to the ground what the fuck is Stefan doing? "Zach this wasn't me I swear, I'm changed, this has got Stefan and lexi written all over it" I plead my innocence and he shakes his head "lexi!!??"
"She's in town with Stefan"
"Damon are you fucking kidding me, lexi is poison, why the hell did you vampires bother coming back here?, I want you both gone by the end of tomorrow I'm done!"
Shit no! Zach cannot kick me out, I could compel him but he's probably on with that pesky vervain. This cannot be happening at all, I'm going to kill Stefan!!! I listen and hear he's upstairs with lexi, I bolt up and literally pull the door from its hinges
"WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU TWO MORONS DONE! SELFISH JUST SELFISH" I have no words for the pair of them at the minute, I grab parts of the broken door and launch them at Stefan and Lexi. Shavings of the wood splinter my skin and rip through Stefans neck like he deserves, but they fucking hurt
My hand stings but I can't get all of the pieces out, they'll just have to irritate me for a while.

Dear Diary,
Life is a constant battle, no joke! one day you wake up and begin remembering things as soon as your brain develops enough as a baby to begin remembering shit that's when life becomes shit lets be honest. I wish I could go back so far in life me, my mom and dad all sat around admiring the new born Jeremy, my very own little brother, Uncle John and Aunt Jenna there too, I always found it weird as a kid my mom was with my dad who's name is John and then her brother (my Uncle) was too called john. however my dad is Johnathan, Aunt Jenna was fun back then too, and now... life? I mean my boyfriend is dead yet alive? now that's what is weird.
life used to be simple, some people shouldn't take that for granted....

Love? It's nothing but challenge after challenge with a vampire, you'd think after the length of time they've been alive that they would have this Love thing figured out right?.
I would love an evening or two problem free just me and Damon mmm perfection

'Let's get out of here, now, me you, and Izz? Please Damon x'
'Everything okay? I'll be 10 minutes pack up baby! X'
'Perfect, thank you! X'

I rush over to my wardrobe and pull out my big travel bag from the bottom, throw in a few sweatshirts, a couple pairs of jeans, pants etc etc, I make sure to pack my chargers a blanket and treats for Izz and my toiletries asif in sync as I zip up my bag my phone bleeps and the screen lights up with Damon's face "hey I'll be right out" I whisper
"Okay beautiful" he replies and ends the call
I grab my bag my coat and pat my side so Izzy walks beside me, outside Damon opens the door to the back of his car for Izzy to jump in he lightly pets her as she climbs in
"Where to Lena" he smiles as he sits beside me in the car "anywhere, just us"
He leans over his hand under my chin picking up my head his eyes shift from my eyes to my mouth and then back again "I love you Elena Gilbert" his lips gently press onto mine full of nothing but passion and love.

A/n - apologies for the absolute crap chapter and the extremely late update. I was dealing with personal issues. I swear to be better!
Thank you so much for being so patient.
