Living With Damon and Stefan

Harsh Words

I didn't see Shadow again that night. I think I had been drinking a little too much champagne, because I was stumbling when I walk.

I was laughing at a joke Damon had said and I stepped back and almost fell over, but Damon was there, holding my arm.

"You okay Marni?" he asked, with a concerned expression.

"I'm fantastic!" I said, smiling like a cheshire cat.

"I think you've had a little too much to drink."

"And I think you should get the stick out of your ass and let loose a little." I said, trying my best to sound annoyed. It kind of failed.

"Oh, you just got told." Stefan said.

Damon glared at him.

"Where's Lexi?" I asked.

"She didn't come," Stefan said. "She just wanted to get some rest."

"Why would she want rest? She's had like 500 years to do it." I said.

Elena and Jeremy gave me confused looks. Damon and Stefan gave me warning looks.

"Oh, whoops." I said and started laughing.

"Um, Marni? Lexi's only like 25." Jeremy said.

"Sure she is." I said. Before anyone could reply I skipped away and went to the other side of the room. Bonnie was there.

"Hey Bonnie." I said. Me and Bonnie had become friends in the past few weeks.

"Hey, Marni." she said. "Where's Jeremy?"

"With Damon, Stefan, and Elena." I said.

"Why aren't you with them?"

"I don't know..." I said.

"Well, I'm thirsty." I said. "Bye!"

I walked over to the refreshment table and picked up another drink.

Just as I was going to take a sip, someone took it out of my hands.

"Oh no you don't." I looked up to see Damon holding my drink.

"Hey, that's my drink." I said, trying to get it back. Damon held me away.

"No, no more drinking." Damon said.

"Damon." I said, narrowing my eyes.

"Marni." he said, mocking me.

"Give me my drink." I said.
