and you've only just begun

ECHO WOKE UP in damon's arms, smiling almost immediately. She took in a deep breath and looked up at him through her eyelashes to find him already staring down at her. "Good morning, gorgeous," she complimented with a sly smirk on her lips.

"I love you," he said with a fond smile, pulling her into a kiss. Ever since she had first told him that she loved him, he's been making sure he told her those three words everyday.

"I love you too." She patted his chest and sat up, stretching. "I have school today and I don't feel like leaving Elena on her lonesome today. Especially today..." She stared out at he window, sadness appearing on her features.

Damon gulped and nodded. "It's the first day back since..."

She nodded with a harsh swallow. "Yeah. So, i'm gonna have to get there early to talk myself to walk into that classroom." She turned around and gave him a quick peck on the lips before walking towards his closet which had some of her clothes in it.

AFTER MEETING UP with Elena and giving her a much needed bloodbag, they headed down the hall to their first period, and froze outside of Alaric's classroom.

Both of their eyes stung with tears, but Echo forced them back with a heavy sigh, her heart feeling like it was falling apart all over again. She grabbed Elena's hand, sent her a small smile, and they held their heads high before walking through the threshold. They took their seats right beside each other.

Stefan entered the room and sat down behind Elena who was ignoring him. He had yelled at her last nigh because of the fact that he didn't like the idea of her drinking human blood, even if it was from blood bags, and she threw a stake at him which embedded itself in his hand. They haven't really spoke since then, but Echo didn't care, she was proud of Elena.

Echo then froze all of a sudden upon looking at the chalkboard which had Alaric's handwritten notes on it. She swallowed thickly and reached over to Elena who was also saddened by it.

Stefan sighed. "It's the first time we've been back in Alaric's classroom..."

"First period, and I'm ready to bawl my eyes out," Elena cut him off in a sad, but snarky tone. Her emotions are all over the place and he wasn't helping.

Suddenly, Rebekah entered the classroom with flyers in her hands. "Morning, everyone." She smiled at everyone, excluding the Scooby Gang.

"Morning, Bekah," a student across the room greeted her happily.

"Just like that, I'm no longer feeling sentimental," Elena muttered lowly in irritation at the sight of the annoying blonde.
