A Miracle Unexpected

Chapter 22 - The favor

Damon's P.O.V.

"Can you do me a favor and tell Jenna what happened?"

It was the first thing Elena had said to me. I was surprised to hear her break the silence and looked over at her. I cleared my throat and spoke softly. "Why do you want me to tell her?"

"Because I'm going to bed as soon as I get home," she said.

Hearing that caused me to frown. If anything, she needed food. She needed someone to help her relax.

"What about telling her about the baby? I'm sure she'll be happy to hear it's a girl," I said as I turned the corner.

"You can tell her that too."

"Elena, she's your Aunt. She'll want to hear it from you."

"I don't care. I'm going to bed," Elena snapped.

"So that's how it was going to be," I thought in my head. Before, when her and Stefan were talking, I tried my best not to listen into the conversation. I couldn't help it. It could have gone much worse but I know both Elena and Stefan were not in good positions. I was angry with my brother for acting the way he had been acting for the past couple of months, but he was still my little brother. I was worried about him going over the edge. I was worried about Elena. As I looked over at her, I could tell how much the break up took out of her. In the end she would be okay but as of right now, she wasn't. I was worried that she wouldn't eat and hurt herself and the baby. It wasn't a good situation. Now to top it all of, she was trying to push everyone away.

I pulled up to the front of her house. I got out of the car to help her out, but she was already out and moving pretty quickly up the pathway to her house. She pushed the front door open and I heard Jenna greet her almost instantly. I moved inside the house just in time to see Elena move up the stairs and into her room without saying one word to Jenna.

"What the hell did you do?" Jenna growled.

I rolled my eyes and closed the front door behind me. Holding my hands up in the air I said to her, "I did nothing." I moved past her and straight into the kitchen. I knew where Ric hid his bourbon and right now, I needed it. As I took a glass out, Jenna kept asking me questions.

"Then why the hell did she just storm upstairs upset without saying anything to me?"

As if Jenna's questions weren't enough, Jeremy came downstairs as well.

"Why is Elena upstairs crying?" he asked.

I turned to face him, my eyes going soft. I looked up the stairs and as I did, I heard her soft cries. I looked back down at Jenna who was impatiently waiting for me to explain and shook my head. I poured the bourbon into a glass and took a sip before turning back to them.

"I really don't want to be the one explaining this to you, but Elena told me to so here I am," I frowned.

"What is it?" Jeremy muttered.

"Is the baby okay?" Jenna asked nervously.

"The baby is fine," I sighed. "Elena broke up with Stefan."

Jenna gasped and Jeremy looked at me accusingly.

"What now, Jeremy?" I asked in a bored tone.

"What did you do to make her break up with Stefan?"

"Oh give me a break," I shouted. "Really? We're playing the blame game?"

Jenna shook her head and turned to look at Jeremy. "Jer, I don't think he had anything to do with that."
