Chapter Thirteen of A Prevailing Love

She skipped down the street with a silly smile on her lips as she hopped up behind the Donovan boy whom was inspecting the volunteer firefighters in thought of if he should help out or not. She tapped his right shoulder before moving to his left side and standing there as if she did nothing of the sort, but he only chuckled when he looked from his right side to his left to see whom he assumed was his Gilbert/Saltzman friend; however, he noticed something completely different.

"How'd your hair grow back so - "

" - God, I forgot how observant you were," the look-a-like rolled her eyes as she grabbed the back of Matt's head as her pupils dilated indicating she was about to compel him. "I need to know every little secret about Cassidy Gilbert starting with the length of her hair."

Matt took a deep breath to begin talking but she stopped him before he could even start.

"Actually, let's go somewhere private. I wouldn't want dear Cass's secrets to get out to the public," she smirked slightly as she tugged on the blonde boy's hand to follow her.

After all, he was the only one left of her friends that she could compel.

The forever-eighteen-year-old struggled to lift her head up as it felt extremely heavy to her and she felt on the weak side knowing she's either been starved to death or there's vervain in her system. Either way, having blood would help her in the situation she was currently in. All she could think about was the night she had with him. The aftermath of the Miss Mystic Falls pageant. The happiness she has felt only for it to have been ripped away she had assumed since she was somewhere foreign to her memory.

They were laughing as they walked hand in hand up the steps to the door of the Salvatore Boarding House. She let him into the house and then stopped by the parlor as she tossed her heels to the side. She twisted around as she let another laugh escape her chest as she looked up to his face.

They were standing in the middle of the Salvatore Boarding House living area as the eldest Salvatore took in her appearance. He smiled as he brought his hand up, allowing his thumb to trail her jawline while his other hand took hers and pulled her slightly closer. She was hesitant to the action but she allowed him to pull her close to him letting their chests touch. She stared into those piercing blue eyes that she fell in love with and she knew it deep down but she wouldn't believe her feelings.

"Cassi," he whispered as he slightly leaned in and she could feel his warm breath against her cheek. It sent shivers down her body as she closed her eyes to take in his voice, his scent, his breathing, the heart beat.

Her lip slid between her teeth as her eyes fluttered open as she looked at him through her eye lashes. She knew she wanted to just own up and confess how she feels but she just couldn't get Elena out of her head.

This was Elena's love.

"She's in my head, Damon," she whispered sadly as she adverted her eyes from his. He slightly rugged on her cheek and her eyes fluttered back to his.

"Let me let you forget her," he whispered back as he allowed his lips to slowly connect to hers. She let out a breath as she felt a weight being lifted off her shoulders allowing her to deepen it. Damon smiles slightly as he lifted her hand to place around his neck while he let his hands rest on her waist.

"Damon," she whispered against his lips. He shook is his head slightly in return as he sat her down on the couch not breaking the kiss. He slid his hand into her hair and continued to put her down until her phone began to ring.
