Candace Hawthorne
We are back in Mystic Falls for like, 3 days now and Damon and I are still in his house, still "planning" on how are we going to find my father.
Still no progress.
And it worries me.
Because I don't know how long.
" Damon? " I said
He poured bourbon on his glass.
" Yeah? "
" Can I ask you something? "
He sat down beside me.
" Sure. "
I sighed.
" Is something bothering you? " he said
" Yes. "
" And it's connected with the question you're going to ask me. "
" Yes. "
" Then ask away. "
" Could we start actually searching tomorrow? "
" Why? "
" What do you mean why? "
" Candace, -"
" Damon, do you even care? "
" About what? "
" Damn it! Damon! I'm freaking dying. "
" I know that-"
" Do you even care? "
" Yes-"
" Are you sure? Because, I haven't dealt with this kind of situation or maybe I had, and I didn't volunteer to help. "
" I did volunteer because I cared. "
Now our voices are racing.
" Are you really sure? "
" Yes. "
" Because you told me that we'd start finding after we went to my freak mother's house, then again before my birthday then again after my birthday. "
" I care. "
" Really? Because I don't think you do. I don't feel it. "
" I care, Candace, I do-"
" But? "
He swallowed.
I walked out of his living room.
Then I saw Stefan in his car.
" Candace? " he said
" You heard? "
" Not if you-"
I looked at him.
" Do you want to go for a drive? " he said
" What? "
" I'll drive. "
" To where? "
He shrugged.
" Is it okay for your girlfriend? "
" We'll just be driving around. Then we'll go back. "
" You sure? "
" Yes. "
" Fine. "
Then Stefan and I are in his red car. And he is driving.
" Damon has a temper. " he said
" I saw. "
" But you also, when you are a vampire, all your emotions gets heightened, so, he does not have a temper. "
" What? "
" Candace, he really cares. He started searching, he's working alongside with the Sheriff. "
Before I could respond, a car hit us hard.
Everything started spinning then I blacked out.
