"I told Damon I would get Kathrine back. I lied, I don't want to help him." I put my hand to my mouth as I tried to be as quiet as possible so Stefan couldn't sense me.
"I help you, I'll do whatever it takes." I slowly make my way to my room, making sure I closed the door as quietly as possible. I debated with myself, I knew Kathrine wasn't good if Stefan didn't want her back, but Damon deserves love, everyone does. I slowly sit on my bed as I put my hands to my face, rubbing in irritation, He was my friend and Stefan and Elena were going to betray him.
"What up Lizzie?" I pull my head up and look over to Damon
"Nothing Day, just been a long day is all." He nods his head as he agrees, he looks over to my TV in amusement, studying it as Sam and Dean killed another Vampire. "Funny you show up when they kill all the vampires." I laugh as Damon sits on my bed next to me, I was dying to tell him.
"You're being serious, you're never serious. What's wrong?"
"You staying for awhile?" I ask avoiding the question
"Yep doing my daily patrols." He says rolling his eyes and gesturing to the walls as as he slips off his shoes and lays down on my bed, and continues watching TV." Where are you going to go Day?" I ask as I turn my body and pull my legs up.
"Paris maybe, I'm thinking of going back to Italy for a while." I shake my head with a sad smile.
"I've always wanted to go to Europe. I dream of visiting The streets of Berlin. Dad used to say he wanted my name to be unique because of the hell raiser I was already kicking the hell out of mom, so he picked up a book of names under the German section closed his eyes and chose randomly, mother was furious said if grandma was alive she'd beat him halfway to hell." I chuckle as the reminder while some somberness made its way into my voice.
"Maybe I can take you there."
"You won't." I state as a sad smile befalls my face. He gives me a look and sits up
"You will marry a nice quarterback and have little brown-haired babies and live a normal happy human life." I laugh at the notion.
"Before I could have never imagined marrying someone like Mattie, having the notion that I wasn't going to meet the man I wanted to settle down, had the idea that I would marry the man that would at least make me laugh, but now I'm not sure I want the normal life. Considering a pair of brothers waltzed back into our quite town and shook both mine and Elena's lives." I shrug my shoulders and lay next to him
"Don't forget to say goodbye, and send postcards when you can? It would make me happy knowing you're still out there kicking. Making jokes, killing and chilling." I make a small snort, I look up at Damon with sad eyes," is this goodbye Day?" He looks down at me and pulls me up, I lay my head on his chest listening to the steady thump. You would have the idea that ideology behind a vampire would point that there was no way a real vampire would have a beating heart, but it assures me that no matter the image that Damon betrays he's still a person, was a living breathing man who has suffered.
"No, not tonight." I shake my head as I nod off, I always felt safe when he was around, but he'd be gone soon and I'd end up with another empty place in my heart.
"Jeremy!" I yell as I run downstairs and jump on his back. He stumbles a little as he adjusts my legs
"Fat ass." My mouth pops open as Jeremy lets me go.
"So am I ever going to meet this infamous Anna?" Jeremy's smile grows as I mention her
"She was at the dance last night, you didn't see her?" I shake my head in confusion, I didn't spot a girl I didn't recognize, but then again I was fighting for my life. I lift my shirt up as I study my brace, it was very tight and was making it harder to breathe
"Oh ya thanks for telling Jenna I pushed you down the stairs." I snicker as I make my way to the couch
"The sad thing is, is that she believed it." I start laughing, but end up in a coughing fit from my rib
"Karma's a bitch!" Jeremy yells as he makes his way out of the door.
"So are you!" I yell back as Matt walks in going straight for the fridge, I roll my eyes as he raided the kitchen after hearing multiple thumps, moving and clanking Matt finally quiets down. After about ten minutes he makes his way to the couch.
"How are you and your slut your cheating on me with?" He smirks sarcastically throwing a hand up as if he was brushing away non existent hair over his shoulder
"Oh, way better than you in bed." My mouth pops open
"You wish you little shit."
"What happened the other night?" Matt asks as he glances down at my hand covering the dark blue brace that not only hides the bruises but my deflated ego. I get a devilish smile
"I got into a bar fight and the bitch threw me, you should have seen her though!" I snicker at The made-up story.
"Mattie I heard you ran over a lady the other day?" Mattie's cheeks redden
"I didn't see her Okay! She jumped out of nowhere, I thought she was you and I did a happy dance before the cop came and shoved me." I gasp
"You'd run me over Mattie?"
"Yes." My mouth pops open.
"Damon?" I ask as Damon makes his way in through the door, forgetting for a second that he casually openers and walked through the door like he normally does.
"who is this?" Jenna asks as she looks Damon over, she yanks me towards her.
"You've been hiding him?" I shake my head with a sad smile.
"It doesn't matter Jen he's leaving soon." She gives me a knowing face and a reassuring pat on the shoulder, Damon starts helping with dinner, pulling his leather jacket from his shoulders with Grace while rolling up his blacken sleeves of his dress shirt while shooting me his classical smirk that tilts his left side of his face while setting his eyes ablaze with heat. Jenna was drinking wine from the family wine glass set while joking around that how such handsome just randomly made their way to our small town within months of each other, it was honestly relaxing working with him, he was a great cook as opposed to me, who had set soup on fire just last week.
I run into Damon as I was going to set the table he gave me the small smile he reserved for me as he places his hands on my hips gently while booping his nose with mine, he smiles at me as he looks over to Elena just beside me.
"Can I trust him?" I glared over at Elena knowing she was going to lie to him, I had to stop this, I grab Damon's hand before Elena could lie to him.
"I'm not going to let you lie to him." I whispered harshly to Elena, and a glare filters across her face at me.
"What are you doing?" She asks panicking as I take my necklace off showing Damon while gently bring the two sides of the chain together while grabbing Damon's right hand and setting it gently into his palm. Wanting the necklace to show that the truth was all he was going to get out of me, even if he would be reluctant to ask.
"You can't trust him." Damon tilts his head to the right, his air falls to the right side of his face framing it as contained anger starts to fill is blue irises.
"They lied to you, I listened in to their conversation last night, they don't trust you and they aren't going to help you get Kathrine back and the fact that they had this conversation without me shows that they didn't trust me with the information as well." I explain as Damon glares over at Elena while his shoulders tense as he places his hands on the table while rising out of his chair.
"Is Liz telling the truth Elena?" Asking mockingly as barely contained content washes over his face as his jaw tenses with the truth. I pull Damon's face towards me gently moving my fingers gently back and forth to coax him from his anger slightly while diverting his attention to me.
"You can trust me because I'm your friend and I trust you." His eyes go soft as he looks me in the eyes, he leans towards me as he grabs my necklace from the counter in which he had set it down one . I watch as he pulls it over me and clips it together, I close my eyes as he kisses my head.
"Thank you, Lizzie."
"You deserve to be happy." He nods his head as he walks out of the kitchen.
"Eliza!" I turn at Elena's tone and glare at her
"You're the one that wanted to lie to him, you're the one that tried to trick him! All he wants is Kathrine back and he's gone just like you wanted!" Elena steps closer to me.
"He's a monster and does not deserve happiness." I cross my arms
"I'm sorry and Stefan isn't? He's killed people too Elena he's not the Easter bunny! He's got you! He's happy and would I take that away from you? No because I'm not selfish and a hypocrite!" I yell as I was shaking from my anger. She shakes her head in shame and walks out of the kitchen leaving me alone, I shake my head in disgust.
Damon and I make our way to the grave, I could see a light in the distance. As we get closer I realize it's Elena and Stefan, they had beat us first. I look over to Damon as he speaks.
"Well What do you know? This is an interesting turn of events."
"Liz?" I look over to Stefan
"Sorry Stef I ruined the surprise."
"I can't let you bring her back. I'm sorry." I roll my eyes Damon's happiness gets shattered because Saint Stefan doesn't want his ex back.
"So am I. For thinking for one second I could trust you."
"Oh you're not capable of trust." Damon looks down at me, with vulnerability shining through.
"I trust her and that's all that matters. Give me the book."
"No."
"If you don't ill snap her neck." I watch as Damon speeds over to Elena and grabs her.
"Damon?"I question as I step closer to him, He gives me a look, and I knew he wouldn't hurt her.
"How do I know you won't do it the second I give you the book?"
"He won't," I say as Stefan looks towards me, I knew him, but he wouldn't.
"Meet in the middle." Damon starts pushing Elena toward Stefan as Stefan edges towards Damon with the book. In a blink of an eye, Damon had the book and Stefan had Elena, I was happy that my prediction was right, he wouldn't turn her. In a second Stefan took Elena and they were gone I put my hand on his shoulder as I approach him, Damon then grabbed my hand as he walks past me, we had some reading to do.
Writers note: Sorry this one is a little short and is more serious I didn't think to put many jokes in as Damon leaving is very saddening towards Liz but she'll get back into the grove.
All love ❤️
