Omggg 1.28K?!? 56 votes?!? :O I'm so amazed how much support I get!!! I love how you take your time to read my crappy book. Because honestly, I figured that it would only have (about) 50 reads right now. I love my fledglings and I'm grateful for everything this story has gotten! I do want to make a quick speech before I start this chapter.

First off, I'd like to thank you all for voting (56 votes!!!), commenting (11!!! :O ), and even reading it in the first place! It means a lot, and I mean a LOT, when you comment about how good it is and that I should keep writing. It makes me proud of myself and that's saying a lot because I'm an insecure person. Also, I understand that many people only read the first chapter and stopped after that. I know I'm not one of the greatest writers, but I'm trying. I do tend to do worse further in the story and I apologize. I also hate seeming to be another one of those authors who only write about sex and swearing. This isn't true about me at all. When I first started Wattpad in 2013, I just HATED stories that revolved around sex. I didn't mind swearing once in a while, but if it's in every paragraph or two, just chill, alright? Lastly, if I write sad or emotional chapters, that's how I'm feeling. It won't be all happy and sunshine, because that's boring and way too fictional. I make my characters act like people, not robots.

Thank you for reading this speech. I hope you'll take my opinion into consideration while reading this book.

Chapter #15

Later that day....

I walk around the mall with my now best friend Elena (long story short, we talked and we're BFFs now), and my two new friends Bonnie and Caroline. Bonnie is actually a witch, I found that out. Caroline is a vampire, which makes me somewhat nervous. Being human and all. I snap out of my thoughts as Caroline snaps her fingers in front of my face. "Sorry, I was uh thinking about something." I say sighing. She nods, smiling and we all walk into a random store. Someone taps me on the shoulder and I turn around to see Elena. She shows me some device. "I got you a phone." she explains. "Thanks." I answer, smiling and gently taking it from her. I try figuring out how to turn it on and Elena takes my hand and we go to a bench outside of the store. She spends the next hour with me, showing me how to use my new phone.

-The Next Day-

I wake up in Damon's arms, my face buried in his chest. "Damon?" I softly mumble into him. "Yes?" he replies, gently kissing the top of my head. I take a deep breath before I answer, "I want to hear you say it." and I look up into his eyes. He smiles and kisses my lips, then whispers into my ear the three words he hasn't even said yet.

"I love you."
