.12 | Haunted

I woke up the next morning with sweat all over my body. I had just dreamed that Damon Salvatore killed me. I guess he had the chance to, but I'm still here aren't I? I got out of bed to go brush my teeth, when I opened the bathroom door I saw Jeremy brushing his teeth.

"Oh sorry." I said about to leave.

"No it's okay I'm done." he said spitting in the sink. I open one of the drawers and pull out a new tooth brush.

"Hey, Jer?" I ask before he leaves, he turns around.

"Did you really mean what you said yesterday?" I ask. Jeremy gives me a small smile.

"Yeah." he said. "Put some cloths on you're practically naked." he said while laughing. I look down at my long t-shirt, even though I had shorts on underneath it look like I was practically naked.

"Is this going to be a normal thing?" I ask.

He gives a small shrug with a smile. He walks into his room shutting the door behind him as I brush my teeth. When I was done I decided to get ready even though I decided not to go to school, I knew Jeremy wasn't, not sure about Elena. I was wearing a long sleeved white crop top with ripped jeans. Before I decided to leave for school, I started writing in my diary.

'Dear Diary,

Everything is crazy as usual, Brian hasn't spoke to me since the break. I've had the weird obsession with being around Damon, it's like ever since he drank my blood I feel like wanting to know him more.

Elena told me everything about Katherine, it ripped both Damon and Stefan apart when Katherine died. There's something about both Damon and Stefan that their both hiding, I promise myself that I will figure it out.

S'

"Sophie!" I hear my voice being called by Elena. Before I could say anything my door opened and Elena was shocked to see me, "Good I thought you went to school." she said.

"No I thought I would stay home incase Matt called." I tell her. Elena sighs.

"Vicki is at Stefan's." she said.

"We have to tell Jeremy, he's skipping school to look for Vicki. A whole search party is looking for her." I tell her.

"We can't tell him, she can't see him. We're the only ones who know that Stefan and Damon are vampires. Vicki could hurt him." I nod.

"Are you going to see her?" I ask.

"Yeah, wanna come?" she asks.

"Yeah." I put my diary under my pillow and start to get off of my bed, "Wait what's the catch?" I ask.

"We'll see." she said leaving my room. I shrugged and followed her out of the house and into her car.

When we got to the Salvatore house and we walked up to the front door, Elena knocks on the door and the first thing we see is Damon. Elena gave a loud sighed before she spoke up.

"Is Stefan here?"

"Yeah." Damon answered her.

"Where is he?" I ask.

"And good morning to you to Miss I'm on a mission." he says smiling at me.

"How can you be so arrogant and glib after everything you've done." Elena says crossing her arms.

"Bitchy much." Damon said. "How can you be so stupid and brave to call a vampire arrogant and glib."

"You wanted us dead then we'd be dead." I said.

"Yes you would." Damon agrees.

"But we're not." Elena said.

"Yet." Damon said. Elena went quiet.

"Where's Stefan?" I ask one last time.

"He's upstairs, singing in the rain in Spain. Knock yourselves out." Damon gave a smirk. Elena went in and Damon stared at me.

"I'm surprised you finally stood up to me. No girl has the courage to do that." he said.

"So...?" I ask.

"Wanna go get a drink with me?" he asked. I desperately don't want to, but other part of me says yes.

"Sure." I say. Damon grins.

We were in the Mystic Grill I was drinking a coke. I was anxious to start asking him questions about being a vampire, but I know that it will only bug him so I hold it back. "So why did you ask me here?" I looked over at Damon as he was staring ahead not listening to me. "Damon?" I ask snapping my fingers in his face. He finally looked at me.

"Yeah?"

"What were you doing?" I ask.

"Vampires can listen in on people's conversations and I was listening to Mr and Mrs. Lockwood's." he told me. "What did you say before?" he asked.

"Oh, I just asked why you brought me with you?"

"No reason in particular." he says taking a shot. My eyes looked away from him, I actually thought he wanted to hang out, get to know me, but I guess not. My phone buzzed and I took it out if my pocket, it was Elena.

Where are you? Wanna go to the Halloween Haunted House tonight?

I'll be home soon to get ready.

I looked back at Damon who was staring at me.

"I have to go, but thanks for the drink." I say.

"Wait where are you going?" he asked standing up after me.

"It's clear that you have business of your own to take care of, you just brought me along to-"

I stop myself not realizing what I was saying. Damon looks at me in confusion, but I ignore him and turn around to see Brian walking in, when he saw me he stopped and stared at me. I stared back at him for about two seconds before I put my head down and quickly made my way out of the Grill.

I thought I got far away from the Grill to where I could relax, but I heard my name from behind. I turned around and saw Brain standing there in confusion.

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

"It's a free country." I say. Brian gives a laugh as he walks closer to me.

"Can we talk about what happened?" he asked.

"Can we talk about it later? Elena needs me at home." I ask.

"Yeah of course." he said backing off a little.

"Thanks." I say before I turn away and quickly run to get back to the house. That was the first time I spoke to Brian and I think it actually went okay other than me trying to avoid him.

When I get in the house I see Jeremy going up the stairs and Elena was going to follow him. When she saw me she had a smile on her face.

"Halloween Haunted House?" I ask in disappointment.

"You went with me to the Salvatore house." she said. I groaned as I shut the door and went upstairs to put on my costume.
