Love Sucks - The Vampire Diaries - Damon Salvatore

*37*

"Here" Damon took his hands off my eyes and I blinked a few times to get used to the light, or lack of.

I was stood in his bathroom with candles everywhere and a bubble bath. "Oh my god. This is ...." I was speechless. No one had ever done anything like this for me before. It was so sweet and so romantic. I turned around, wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him in for a kiss, standing on my tip toes a little too.

"Maybe I'll do this more often" he smirked as we broke away from the kiss. "I'm going to leave you in peace." He took my hand and led me back to the main part of his bedroom, "here are some new towels, this little tray thing that the girl at Target said was to hold jewellery" he picked up a little pink and gold heart shaped tray and looked at it weirdly, turning it over in his hand a few times before putting it back next to the towels, "I wasn't sure if I was suppose to put this in or you should." He picked up a bath bomb from the top of the towels and looked it over too, "and are you suppose to take this plastic off...." he looked so confused with all the bits in the side. I looked over and saw some coconut shampoo, body wash, some moisturiser, face masks... bless him.

"Thank you Damon." I pushed the bath bomb out of his sight, taking it from his hand and placing it on the towels, "this is amazing."

"Anything for you." He smirked and kissed me gently on the forehead, "As I said, I will leave you in peace. Take as long as you want." He smiled before leaving the room and closing the door behind him.

I grabbed some of the bits and took them into the bathroom, placing them on the side so I could reach them later. I took my earrings, necklace and ring off placing them on that little tray by the bed. I then grabbed my phone and searched through looking for a chill out mix to play.

Once everything was ready, towels next to the bath too, I slowly undressed and got in. The water was perfect for me; hot enough that I could feel my pores opening and sweating everything out.

I sunk into the water and lay there for a few minutes before putting on one of the face masked and relaxing to the music. I closed my eyes and drifted off into my mind.

I had been so relaxed I hadn't noticed that time had flown by so quick. So I washed my hair and body before getting out and drying myself. Wrapping a towel around me, I walked into Damon's room and went over to his wardrobe.

Opening it up I grabbed a shirt and threw it on, going over to my clothes and putting in my panties and shorts I had been wearing before. Don't judge me! I didn't know I was having a bath! I walked over to the desk to the little tray to pick up my jewellery.

"What the hell!?" I shouted, noticing my ring was missing.

I ran out the room and pretty much flew downstairs, screaming Stefan and Damon's names as I did. I ran into the main room where both boys were sat, staring at my ring.

"The hell you take it for!?" I screamed at them, storming across the room to get my ring.

"To get rid of whatever is in it." Damon said, picking up the ring and moving further away from me.

"And how do you propose you do that?!" I shouted, get angrier by the second.

"We're not sure yet. Maybe ask Bonnie..."

"Really? Even though she made it very clear she had no idea what was in it?! Just give me my ring back!!!"

"No! It's dangerous! You could end up killing someone else!" Damon screamed at me, trying to make me listen. But all I cared about was getting my ring back.

"What, like Elena?" I snapped at Damon. His face fell as I said the words. He knew exactly why I said it too. "This is what all that was upstairs? A diversion so you could get my ring? That is MY ring! And I don't want to be without it!"

"You could - " Stefan started but I had no time for his crap.

"I don't give a flying fuck! Now, give me back my ring!!!" I screamed like a spoilt little child.

That ring was everything to me. It made me feel close to my family, the good ones anyway; my uncle, Matt and Vicki. How dare they just take it from me!

I went to grab it off Damon but he moved back and Stefan got between us, "Why can't we put it on? It's as if there's vervain in it. It burns when we place it on a finger."

There was no way I could take them on. Forget the fact I'm not exactly strong, but one tiny human against two vampires? I thought before crossing my arms over my chest, "Why would there when I didn't even know vampires existed before getting here? Or even know what vervain was!"

"Christie did." Damon interjected.

"Let's go ask her then shall we? Oh wait, we can't." I said sarcastically and rolled my eyes.

Damon shouted and dropped the ring, "son of a bitch!" I moved over and grabbed the ring on the floor next to his foot. As I stood back up I saw burns over his hand where the ring had been. "What the hell?"

I'm upset

"You upset it." I blurted out without thinking.

"I....I.... I upset it?" Damon stuttered, his hand slowly loosing the red burn marks.

"Yeah. You upset it. It's my ring, not yours." I slid the ring back on and I felt calmer somehow, "maybe it burns you because it doesn't like either of you."

Damon and Stefan stared at each other, confused. I could see their little brains trying to work it out, ticking away.

They are not friends.
They keep you away from everyone.
You've changed since you met them.

"I've changed since I met you." I spoke, not really listening to what I was saying.

"What? Of course you have. You've became an amazing person..." Stefan said, walking closer to me.

"No. I'm not me any more." I whispered.

Damon suddenly disappeared but was soon behind me and bit into my neck. I screamed out in pain. It wasn't like in bed, this was different. It felt forceful. Like he intended to hurt me.

I fell to the ground but just heard enough...

"I didn't know what else to do." Damon explained, looking at Stefan. They both shrugged and it went black.
