"Fine" Kol said, "Just wait five minutes, let Jeremy give Damon some blood, and then you can go visit him".

"Promise?" Aria asked.

"I promise Ri" Kol assured.

Jeremy entered the cellar, with a cup of vampire blood in his hand, Damon reached his hands out to grab the cup, but Jeremy placed it on the floor, just out of Damon's reach.

"Hilarious" Damon said sarcastically, Jeremy used his foot to bring the cup closer to Damon, "Give me the damn cup" Damon snapped, getting impatient, eventually he managed to reach it and he downed the blood in one go, he then looked at Jeremy and threw the cup at him, which Jeremy easily dodged, "Wipe that smile off your face".

"Hey, you're lucky I'm even helping you" Jeremy snapped, "Considering the last thing you did for me was tell Enzo to strangle me to death and attack my girlfriend".

"Quit crying, you're still around" Damon said.

"Yeah, but Aaron Whitmore isn't" Jeremy said, "And once Aria finds out that you not only killed Aaron, but stood to the side while Enzo attacked me and April, and to top it all, you walked out on her and her kids, she isn't going to be around either Damon".

"Has Kol told her yet?" Damon asked, fearing rising in his heart.

"No" Jeremy replied, "The first thing Aria wanted to do when she woke up was see you, and Kol didn't have it in his heart to tell her everything, knowing how heartbroken she will get, so when she comes down here to see you Damon, for once in your life do the right thing, and tell her the truth".

"I will" Damon snapped, "But if either you or Kol beat me to it, I'll rip your tongue out".

"Damon!" Aria yelled, coming down to the basement, causing Jeremy to smirk.

"Don't you dare" Damon warned.

"Jeremy?" Aria said confused, seeing Jeremy still in the cellar, "I thought you left".

"I was just leaving" Jeremy replied, "How you feeling?".

"Confused, hungry, bored" Aria replied, she stepped forward and hugged Jeremy.

"God, I missed you, the real you" Jeremy said.

"I missed you too, Jer" Aria mumbled.

Jeremy broke the hug and looked between Aria and Damon, "I'm going to leave you two alone with each other" he said, walking out the cellar.

Aria turned and faced Damon, tears in her eyes, "Hey" she whispered, sitting on the chair, Jeremy left behind for her.

"Hey, you" Damon said, taking Aria's presence in, knowing after he told her the truth, she will want nothing to do with him, let alone see his face.

"How you feeling?" Aria asked worried.

"Hungry" Damon replied honestly.

"I'd give you my blood but Kol strictly said that if I want to stay here no giving you blood" Aria said.

"And for once, I agree with Kol" Damon said.
