The late September sun warmed Elena’s face and she opened her eyes. She saw Damon sitting in what looked like a very uncomfortable chair.
Perhaps Damon felt Elena’s eyes on him because he opened his. When he saw Elena was awake he quickly sat up.
“How are u feeling?” he asked hoarse. “Can’t believe I actually fell asleep”
“Can’t believe u actually fell asleep in that chair” Elena zei with raised eyebrows. “Why didn’t u kom bij me? There’s plenty of room”
“I wasn’t supposed to fall asleep” Damon zei obvious. Elena wanted to commentaar on that when someone knocked and the door went open. They heard clicks and Caroline soon appeared. She walked quickly to the bed and embraced her best friend. “My poor, poor Elena” she said. “Why does everything always happen to you?” She let go of her and sank down on the bed. She heard something squeak and turned around. Damon had gotten out of the chair and rubbed his eyes.
“I’m going to leave u girls alone” he said.
“You don’t have to leave” Caroline said, feeling a little guilty.
“No, it’s fine” Damon waved his hand. “I’m going to grab some coffee” He walked to the bed, leaned vooruit, voorwaarts and kissed Elena. “I’ll be right back”
He walked out of the room and leaned against the door. He went with his fingers through his hair and sighed. A nurse walked door with a medicine car and walked into a room. “Time for your medicines, darling” Damon heard her say.
He raced to the car and kicked it, causing it to roll over and crash. The nurse ran outside and saw all medicines, pills and liquids, spread across the floor. She looked up and shrieked door Damon’s expression. His eyes were wrinkled and red and fangs appeared. The nurse staggered backwards, but when Damon wanted to verplaats closer he was pushed against the wall.
“Pull yourself together” Stefan zei soft. “Elena can’t use u like this”
Damon face turned human again and he let his shoulders hang.
“She’s sick, Stefan” he said.
Stefan nodded. “I know. But they will make her better”
“It’s not fair” Damon zei difficult. “She’s been through so much and now this? What’s up with that? Why do the good ones always get punished?”
“Hey” Stefan zei and he tried to grab his arm, but Damon struggled. “Hey, listen to me” Stefan attempted a seconde time, shaking Damon door the shoulders. “I can’t guarantee that everything is going to be okay, but I need u to believe it. ‘Cause if u don’t, Elena won’t either”
“She doesn’t deserve this” Damon zei angry.
“Who does?” Stefan asked rhetorical.
Damon looked up and pierced his stare in Stefan’s. “I can come up with a few people”
