Ocean Eyes

Chapter 12

Elenas POV

3 damn weeks and he's still not here.

3 damn weeks and no one has seen his face.

3 damn weeks and I want to hug him and say it's not your fault.

But every time I ask Stefan where he is, he just says "I am sorry I can't say"Where is he?

I snapped out of my thoughts and woke up in the middle of the night, everyone is sleeping.

But I am here scared that I won't see Damon again in this college.

For the past 3 weeks I wasn't feeling myself, I wasn't this happy girl I was, I was feeling sad and guiltily, It's all my fault Damon is not showing up at school.

He thinks that it's his fault , and hell it's probably his fault that I almost died.

But I can't help but feel this way, I feel empty and sad and very guilty, I got out of our dorm.

I saw someone standing at the end of the hallway , I couldn't see their face but I because of my stupid curiosity I went to the damn person.

And guess who I saw.

Damon, by the looks of it he didn't shave, his ocean blue eyes gone a lot darker, he's wearing everything black and suddenly I had this urge just stop slap him and hug him and the same time so I did.

First thing I did is slap him hard enough to let it echo and then the second thing I know that I am hugging him.

He surprisingly hugged me back and softly said "Hey...."His voice was a lot softer and he didn't even smile while saying that even though his head was on my back, I would always felt his lips curve into a smile but this time it didn't and honestly I felt a little disappointed.

I pulled from our long hug and said "Where were you for 3 weeks?"I was pretty pissed even though I did get in the hospital, it wasn't entirely his fault.

"I-I can't answer that"He said looking at the ground, he was forcing himself not to look at me, not look into my eyes.

I placed my two fingers under his chin and made him look at me, he then quickly looked down and said "I am sorry, I am so so sorry"He was practically holding his tears in his eyes.

I've never seen him like this, never, I placed two of my hands on his cheeks, he was cold, he was freezing and I just noticed it.

I quickly took my jacket and placed it on him.

"Just tell me Damon where you were, I was worried sick" I said looking at him.

He suddenly looked at me and said "I can't be here"He then turned around and made me look into his back.

He started walking forward, this is my chance to get an answer from him and this time I didn't just stand there.

I ran after him, I grabbed his hand and pulled him next to me, "I've waited for you for 3 weeks and this is all you have to say, please Damon stay....-"
