Phoenix's Pov:
After a lot of begging and pleading, Eli was coming with me to get a tattoo!! I know?! I didn't expect her to go either. Stefan and Damon were coming with us as well.
I decided to change out of my dress and into jean shorts, a hello kitty tank top that showed a bit of my stomach, the Osiris' Jer got me, and the ring and necklace Klaus got me. I was bring Raiden with me too because I didn't want him to be home alone.
We all piled into my car with me driving, Eli shot gun, Damon and Stefan in the back, and good ole Raiden in my lap. We stopped at Eli's so she could change.
She got dressed in a pair of black leggings, a white tank top with the alphabet on it and the I, O (which looked like a heart), and the U was in pink instead of black, pink vans, and a heart necklace.
After hearing Stefan compliment her, I started driving towards one of my good friends tattoo shop. His name was Eros, his parents had been obsessed with Greek mythology. His full name is even worse, Eros Pan Ajax Greenland. Poor kid. Well guy. Lol. He was born in 1942. Eros is a cool guy. Even with a terrible name lol. He has black hair that is in a small quiff thing and has dark brown eyes. He always had a stubble and was pale. (played by Danny O'Donoghue)
Throughout my mental rant to no one I realized that we were almost there. I turned into his shop. Walked in the door and called, "Love?!" You know because Eros is the god of love? No well now you know.
"Is that Birdy I hear?!" He exclaimed. He's nuts lol. And he calls me Birdy because Phoenix is a mythological bird.
"No its Bob, yes its Birdy. Are you still open?" I asked.
"For a friend and her friends of course!" He said, "Now what do you want to get? And are any of your friends getting one because my girlfriend is still here."
I looked at them and Eli nodded her head while Damon and Stefan said no.
"Ok let me get Angel. One sec. Take a seat Birdy." I rolled my eyes at my nickname. Eli and I sat down in the two leather chairs.
He came back a couple of seconds later with a pretty girl with blonde hair.
"Angel could you do um..."
"Elena." Eli told him.
"Yes Elena's tattoo?"
She nodded and started talking to Eli.
"So what'cha think that you want to get?" Eros asked me.
I whispered what I wanted. An half an hour later Eli's was done. She had gotten a small pink bow behind her left ear.
Stefan and Eli went home after Eros put a small bandage over it and explained to her how to take care of it.
She thanked him and tried to pay him but he refused. Although she did gave Angel a $20 tip. After Eli and Stefan left she followed in there footsteps and left. But not after giving Eros a huge kiss. I rolled my eyes. She thought I was wanted him, um no thanks. I love him like a brother not a boyfriend.
"So it's down to three. Lol" I said trying to easy the awkward silence.
"Birdy? Do you still sing?" Eros asked.
I nodded.
"Will you sing for me?" He asked.
I nodded again, "what do you want me too sing."
"Hmm I don't care pick one."
"White lips, pale face
Breathing in snowflakes
Burnt lungs, sour taste
Light's gone, day's end
Struggling to pay rent
Long nights, strange men
And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
Cause we're just under the upper hand
And go mad for a couple of grams
And she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly
Ripped gloves, raincoat
Tried to swim and stay afloat
Dry house, wet clothes
Loose change, bank notes
Weary-eyed, dry throat
Call girl, no phone
And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
Cause we're just under the upper hand
And go mad for a couple of grams
And she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
An angel will die
Covered in white
Closed eye
And hoping for a better life
This time, we'll fade out tonight
Straight down the line
And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
They scream
The worst things in life come free to us
And we're all under the upper hand
Go mad for a couple of grams
And we don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe we fly to the Motherland
Or sell love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly
To fly, fly
For angels to fly, to fly, to fly
Or angels to die"
"Eli your making me tear up." Love said making me giggle.
"Thank you."
"Phoenix I didn't know that you liked to sing." Damon said. Raiden was sleeping underneath Damon's chair.
"Like? More like loves. I met her family before I came here and all she would do is sing and dance around."
I smiled at the memories. I was singing Lovebug by the Jonas Brothers and Grandpa said that an old friend was visiting. I didn't care at the time. But when came in I knew that he was a cool guy.
Me and him would jam out to some classics and when I left I cried and made him promise to call and text. Of course we would talk every once in a while but you know how it is. People get busy or in my case you are constantly getting kidnapped. Well you got to keep things interesting.
When Eros finished I had Hopeless Romantic on each of my forearms. I had to stack them on top of each other. But it looked beautiful. And I loved it!
My other tattoo was under my collar bone and in small letter it said 'not all who wander are lost.'
I gave Eros the biggest hug and kissed him on the cheek. He really was cute but not my type. I know who my type is. Lol.
I gave him $500 after at least 30 minutes of begging. Damon and I got into my car
"Damon I think that we should still be friends." I said.
"Oh not the I think that we should just be friends talk. Because Phoenix I honestly made a mistake. I don't know what I was thinking because you are the only one I love." Damon said to me, making me already starting to cry.
"DO YOU KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE TO WALK IN ON THE PERSON THAT YOU THOUGHT LOVED YOU CHEATING ON YOU?!?! DO YOU?!" I screamed as we stopped at a red light.
"No." He whispered so quietly that I could barley hear him.
By now I had tears streaming down my face and I could hardly breath.
"Do you want me to drive?" He asked. I responded by pulling the car over and stepping out, holding Raiden in my arms.
Damon sighed and started home. My eyes felt heavy and I could barely stay awake. The last thing I heard was Damon's voice saying, "I love you. Please forgive me."
