"You left me feeling empty "

BELLE INHALED A LARGE BREATH BEFORE RAISING her fist and knocking it against the door of the Salvatore boarding house, her heart erratically against her ribcage as the door swung open slowly. Her breath hitched as her doe brown eyes met his enticing blue ones "Hey Damon" she spoke almost breathily, her mouth subconsciously forming a large smile in his presence.

Damon's eyes lit up slightly as he gazed at the redhead before him.His stomach filled with butterflies as he throat became dry. His blue eyes flickered to her chapped lips and he longed to place his on lips on her-wait now.He was here for Katherine and Katherine only.

He smiled genuinely at her and opened the door wider "Are you just going to stand here and get lost in my eyes?" Belle's cheeks flushed bright red as she slapped the chuckling damon's chest as she walked in. Belle sat on the couch pushing her glasses up while clearing her throat "Well the reason I'm here is I was wondering if you want to go to the founder's party with me" she faltered slightly upon seeing Damon's blank face "I know you're probably going with Caroliine but Stefan is going with Elena and my dad usually goes with me to these things but he's working and-" her rambling was caught off by Damon's deep chuckles "Aren't you just adorable. I'll go with you princess."

Belle internally squealed "great! See you later alligator" as soon as she was outside the girl began hitting herself with annoyance "See you alligator? Jesus Belle, are you tying to get a man or a restraining order"

Belle gazed at her reflection in the mirror, her blue dress hugged her curves (although she was yet to decide if that was a good thing or not), Jenna had curled her hair, and Bonnie and Elena did (forced it onto her) her make-up. "I'm glad you wore blue" Belle jumped as Damon's velvety voice flowed through her ears. The raven haired vampire moved closer to the girl placing his arms around her waist. His hot breath fanned her neck "You look gorgeous princess." the red head cheeks turned the same colour as her hair, she mumbled a quick thanks removing herself from Damon's grip to go look fo her shoes. Damon frowned slightly missing then feeling of her body in his hands.

He sat on her bed, his eyes stopping at her copy of twighlight picking it up he spoke "What's so special about this Bella girl?Edward's so whipped." Belle rolled her chocolate brown eyes huffing at the man "Edward's not whipped! Bella looked past the fact that he was monster and she loved him for who he was not what he was. Their love fo each other was instant and all consuming. I mean what girl wouldn't want that." she rambled.

Damon arched an eyebrow and was about to say something when a knock interrupted them. Elena walked in her eyes narrowing at the two suspiciously only then did Belle notice the close proximity between the two. She moved back abruptly and sent an exasperated look at her cousin "What's the point of knocking El, if your just going to barge in anyway?" Elena sighed but ignored the girls dragging Belle out of then room.

"I just wanted to tell to be careful Belle.Bonnie and I think that Damon is hurting Caroline in someway and I don't want him to hurt you too." In normal circumstances Belle couldn't give two shits about Caroline but if Damon was hurting her...

Belle sighed walking back into her room. Damon looks up from the photos on one wall and he sent her a smile only for it to fade upon seeing the serious look other face "What's wrong princess?" Belle looked into the vampire's icy blue eyes "We're friends right?" Damon nodded hesitantly "And friends don't lie. So have you hurt Caroline in any way?" Damon stared right back at the redhead "No. I promise" Belle smiled brightly at the vampire satisfied that she couldn't spot any traces of him lying in his eyes.

She grabbed his hand and gripped it tightly "Let's have some fun tonight"

⚜️

Belle gripped Damon's bicep tightly as she drank from her third glass of champagne. The night didn't turn out as well as planned. Caroline followed the couple like a lost puppy, throwing Belle some spiteful glances. It didn't bother the redhead she could feel everyone's eyes on her figure as they whispered among themselves. Her glass was suddenly removed from her grasp causing her to pout up at Damon "I'm cutting you off. Don't need you getting hurt tonight." Damon dragged her to where her cousin was standing

"The Salvatore name was practically royalty in this town. Until the war. There was a battle here—" the two cousins cut him off " The Battle of Willow Creek." Damon nodded while Belle continued speaking softly "I know, we talked about it in class. Confederate soldiers fired on a church with civilians inside." Damon scoffed slightly

"What the history books left out was the people that were killed. They weren't there by accident. They were believed to be union sympathizers. So some of the founders on the confederacy side back then wanted them rounded up and burned alive. Stefan and Damon had someone they loved very much in that church. And when they went to rescue them, they were shot. Murdered in cold blood."
Belle gasped slightly in shock while Elena continued to question the elder Salvatore "Who was in the church that they wanted to save?"

"A woman, I guess. Doesn't it always come down to the love of a woman?" Damon said his gaze switching to the redhead by his side.

Damon pecked her forehead smirking softly when he saw her face flush "Princess, can I just talk to your cousin for a second?" Belle nodded and walked into the night, For some reason feeling empty without him.

⚜️

Belle's eyes widened as Elena had just told her that Damon had in fact hurt Caroline. "Ready to dance, princess?" A happy Damon made his way into Belle's view. She immediately saw red and before she comprehend what she was doing she grabbed a champagne glass and tipped over his head causing a ripple of gasp and murmers through the room

"Friends don't lie! I guess it's my fault for believing you were actually friends with me. What were you lying about that as well! Using to guilt trip Caroline or something!?" She yelled before being forcibly removed from the party. 

Leaving a sad and confused Damon in her wake
"Shit!"
