Forgive Me. (The Vampire Diaries Fan-Fic) - (Being Edited)

No More Hating.

Issie's POV

Damon had chosen our masks for the Masqerade Ball earlier,when he went out researching. His was a deep,midnight black,with glittering swirls throughout. Mine was similar,but smaller,and the swirls were a blood red. We'd gone out to hire a dress and a suit for us,black also.

I'd changed into my dress in the bathroom.I let my hair stay straight and plain,since I had no hair accessories here.I applied a deep red lipstick to my lips and put eyeliner and mascara on my eyes.

I opened the door to go back to Damon's room,when I ran straight into Stefan.

"Oh,uh.Sorry,Stefan,"I muttered,trying to side step around him.But he moved with me,blocking his path.

"It's okay,"He replied.

I lifted my head to look at him.He was wearing a suit similar to Damon's,but Stefan's tie was a royal blue.

"You look,ah,nice,Stefan,"I said.

"Thank you,"He answered."You look beautiful,as ever,"

I couldn't help but smile."Thanks.Well,I'll see you at the Ball then,"

"Oh,of course."Stefan nodded."See you later,"

I nodded and he walked away.

I seriously needed to sort out our problem.I coudln't go round hating him and avoiding him forever.

"Hey,"Damon said,inturrupting my thoughts."You look stunning,"

"Thanks.So do you,"I replied ,taking his hand and interwining our fingers.He was already in his mask."Do you have my mask?"

He lifted up his free hand,which held my mask.

"Turn around,"He ordered.

I let go of his hand and turned my back to Damon.I felt the mask come over my eyes,Damon tying it in a bow at the back of my head.I felt his finger glide through my blonde hair,touch the side of my neck and turn me back around.I reached up to press a kiss to his lips.

"Let's go,"

The Masquerade Ball was at the Lockwood's place,like the Founder's Dance.Cream coloured lighs were strung against every tree and bush covering the front of the house.Sky blue lights covered the stairway to the building.People already here were standing in clusters,some couples dancing together on the grass outside,being used as an outdoor dancefloor.I recognised Elena and Stefan as one of those couples.Elena's head rested against Stefan's chest,their hands intertwined.Stefan's hand gripped her waist tightly as they swayed to the music.They looked so perfect together,I didn't know why Stefan went for me when he could have had Elena first.

The music stopped,and Elena's head lifted up,a huge grin on her face.She whispered something to Stefan,then turned away from him,noticing me for the first time.She waved and smiled,headed in my direction.

"What the hell does she want?"I muttered to Damon.

His grip on my waist loosened."I don't know,but I'll leave you two alone,"

He pressed a kiss to my cheek and left in the direction of the punch bowl.

"Hey,"Elena said."You look amazing,Issie,"

"Thanks,"I replied,looking at what Elena was wearing.She had a black strapless knee-length dress on,light blueflowers embedded around the edge of the top of her dress.A sash of the same colour blue was wrapped around her waist,tied in a bow at the back,I noticed from when she danced with Stefan.Her high heeled shoes were so high,she was a few inched taller than me.Her hair was loosely curled,left to hang naturally round her face."So do you,"
