Silver Linings: Awakening {A TVD Fanfic trilogy}

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried. After standing at the Salvatore's front door for five seconds I quickly ran off. I couldn't, not yet, not when I still felt like complete and utter crap.

I compelled myself a hotel room and sat in there crying and contemplating for a few days. It was pitiful and useless. When I realized that I stopped. I kept thinking about what my dad would do. I wanted to talk to him. There was only one place I could go to be close to him.

I walked through the cemetery, searching through the names when I saw my dad's name. Loving friend and father sat under his life span. I let a few tears roll down. "I miss you." I cried as I looked at the stone. It was just a rock but it made me cry so much. He'd be so disappointed in what I had done.

I had planned to make it up to him by fixing Elena. I'd leave after that. I wanted to make sure she was okay before I did anything more. I just needed to prove that I could do the right thing.

So I walked up for a second time. I looked at the door and I took a deep breath. I touched the handle and heard footsteps coming to the door. The door opened and I saw Damon and Stefan standing there.

I smiled and tilted my head lightly. "I heard you're having Elena problems."

They both looked at me confused and surprised. I noticed the bourbon in Damons hand. "Things haven't changed too much have they?" I asked looking up to him.

I wondered what he felt for me. Of course when I left he was trying to get over me and I hoped he did. I told him to very forcefully. Maybe he didn't, but how could I be sure. I knew that I was over him for the most part. He was emotionally cheating on me with Elena. Of course it hurt and a part of me would always wish things went differently, but I didn't want to be with him again.

"What are you doing here?" Damon asked looking at me.

"Um, helping." I replied.

"Couldn't have decided to come a little earlier?" Damon asked walking past me.

I blinked my face becoming angry. "You're kidding right?" I asked looking at him.

"Damon this might be what she needs. Maybe we shouldn't play at fear anymore." Stefan suggested.

"No play at fear, fear always works." I replied. Stefan furrowed his eyebrows in question. I sighed. "Of course she knows you two won't do anything. You both have feelings for her." I avoided the question I know was roaming in Stefan's head.

"Who do we know that will be able to get that out of her?" Stefan asked looking from me to Damon.

"No. We can't bring that psychopath." Damon replied raising his voice.

"I mean she killed Jeremy. Who else is gonna be able to get the fear and rage out of her?" Stefan replied.

I looked down upset and Stefan quickly noticed. Damon on the other hand was avoiding eye contact. "He's right." I said quickly before he could reply. "If that bitch came to me I'd be enraged in seconds."

"Then we're doing it." Stefan replied as Damon walked back inside and I stayed outside with Stefan. After calling her she agreed and he looked at me.

"So, can you update me on the latest and greatest of Mystic Falls?" I asked crossing my arms.

"Where the hell have you been?" He asked looking at me as I sighed lightly dropping my arms.
