CHAPTER EIGHT | FADE INTO YOU

─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───

AFTER DAMON AND EVELYN'S VOW TO MAKE SURE BONNIE CAME HOME TO THEM, THEY HIT THE ROAD WITH ALARIC AND STEFAN. Despite it being Thanksgiving and Caroline had organized a meal with everyone, Evelyn wanted to be a part of Bonnie's return home since she knew what Bonnie sacrificed to get Damon back to her, it was only fair. So, she and the boys followed a lead which resulted in them heading to Portland.

"You know, I haven't got half as many missed calls as I thought I'd get." Evelyn inspected her messages with her back against the car as the Salvatore's took their belongings from the trunk. "Only fifteen. That's pretty good, considering."

"Pretty good?" Damon echoed in question with a light scoff. "It's Caroline, she's gonna be pissed regardless."

"Yeah, well, I expected more than just missed calls. More of a SWAT truck tailing us, and dragging us all the way back to Whitmore." Evelyn joked with a raised eyebrow.

"Hey," Stefan called from the back of the car as he slammed the trunk and then moved beside Damon and Evelyn. "Were you two invited to Friendsgiving?"

His brother nodded in response, "Of course. Caroline demanded I bring string beans." Damon saw the shrug Stefan gave. "Why? Were you not invited?"

"No, Stefan was not. Were you, Stefan?" Evelyn teased, "Caroline refused to let him attend. I mean, I tried but she wasn't having any of it."

"Oh, boy. You messed with the wrong girl's feelings." Damon chuckled in response as he snaked his arm around Evelyn's waist. The reason Caroline didn't want Stefan to attend Friendsgiving was that they had an argument about her having feelings for him.

"Is that the reason Caroline assigned me the turkey and cranberries?" Alaric questioned while he glanced at the three vampires as they all walked. "Stefan wasn't invited."

"See what you did? Now we're pulling your weight. I really hope you figure this out before Christmas." Damon rolled his eyes with a smirk on his lips.

"Oh, trust me. I will not be taking over from Stefan at Christmas."

"Yeah, well, I'm glad you three are finding amusement in this." Stefan deadpanned as if he were refusing to let the conversation get under his skin.

Damon furrowed his brows, a dumbfounded look on his face as he glanced at his younger brother. "Why don't you just date her and put us out of our misery."

"Because I don't think about her that way. She's my friend."

"I was Damon's friend back in the day." Evelyn pointed out, just as Damon and Alaric nodded. "Friendships don't mean anything. If anything, it makes for a better foundation to form a relationship on."
