In a world of just in time

Chapter 14

11 weeks pregnant

Damon's POV

I have not seen or heard from Elena in a month now. A month!

At first I was shaken up, I feared her father may of hurt her, that she aborted the baby because she couldn't take it anymore or that she ran away.

The worst part is I still don't know and I haven't been able to talk to anyone.

But as time went by I found myself thinking about her less and less. Started hanging out with my friends more, went back to football practise and was able to get back to getting straight A's.

I didn't speak to my parents properly for awhile and when they did start asking about Elena again I said she was gone, which she is, and they didn't ask about her again. I guess that is why I thought about Elena less as time went by, no one talked about her. There was no reminders of her anywhere. Apart from the fact school was less hectic and the police didn't turn up as much.

"So are you going to the party tomorrow? Everyone will be there. Caroline, Tyler, Matt and of course me. You should come." Bonnie said as we were walking down the corridor. "I think I have to work this weekend with my dad Bon sorry. I will make it to the next one." I said looking forward so she couldn't give me the puppy eyes and make me go. "Fine as long as you are not going to turn all depressed again because I missed you. We all did." I chuckled a little, "I was never depressed and I am fine. I'm not going anywhere."

As we turned the corner I saw the principal and another teacher taking stuff out of a locker. Elena's locker.

Elena.

I went to walk up to them and ask what they were doing but Bonnie pulled my arm making me turn around, "Damon where are you going?" She asked. "To them and ask them why they are taking everything out of Elena's locker. That's her stuff, they shouldn't be in there." I said angrily. "Why are you upset? It's not like you and Elena are friends and she's probably got caught for drugs or something just leave it alone." "I can't." I replied.

I walked quickly straight up to the principal. "What are you doing with Elena's stuff?" "Miss Gilbert is no longer attending this school due to her lack of attendance so we are removing her stuff, but this not any concern of yours." Once he had all her stuff he slammed the locker door shut and walked away in the direction of his office.

One I arrived back home Elena was once again the only thing I could think about. I know she's abused so what if she's really hurt? Or even worse?

No. I quickly get rid of that thought. Maybe she is embarrassed to see me again? But I thought we was getting along well. Actually becoming friends.

All I do know it that the woman I love is in danger. Wait, love. Maybe I love her. But that is something to think about later.

I know she's hurt and I need to help her. The last time I saw her was month ago and, not to be horrible, she looked awful. And she's probably only got worse. I have to tell someone what I know. I need to save Elena and my unborn child.

It is now six in the evening. I have been ignoring all of my friends texts and calls. I have just been planning what I am going to say to my parents when they walk in. I have to tell them the truth. The complete truth.

I sit at the kitchen table waiting for them to walk in. Any second now.

"Damon we are home. I hope you have done your homework already because me and your father want to go out for dinner with you." My mum calls as she walks into the kitchen. "Oh Damon I thought you would be upstairs, are you okay?"
