"I wanna be yours. I wanna be your spring break lover, tonight. Cus, I am yours and you are for me."
Spring Break Lover by Cisco Adler
Tears where falling down my face as the words I never thought I'd hear, came out of Stefan's mouth.
"I'm sorry Elena but you know we are going to different colleges this fall, it would be too hard. It's better this way." We were sitting at the Grill in our spot we sit at everyday. I guess he thought dumping me in public would be better. But he was wrong, I was prepared to make a scene.
"You are lying! There is someone else isn't there?" I sobbed and he sighed, resting back in his chair.
" I didn't want it to come down to this but yes, there is some else."
"I knew it!" I stood up and threw the water I just ordered a minute ago right into his face. He gasped, standing up as water ran down his perfect body. He looked at me furious but I just ignored it and walked right out of the restaurant.
Its been one week since Stefan has broken up with me. My days are spent in bed and going to school. I do my best to stay away from everyone and avoid conversation. I especially avoid any contact with Stefan. I've even skipped a couple classes that we have together. Bonnie and Caroline have been attacking me with text messages but all I do is ignore them. I'd much rather sit in bed and block out the outside world. Jenna is worried and leaves food at my door and doesn't say a word to me every morning I leave for school, she already knows I wont talk back. Jeremy is oblivious as always. I couldn't help but wonder if I was naive to think Stefan and I would last? I keep telling myself that maybe tomorrow things will be better but I can't stop thinking about everything I must of done wrong. Did I say the wrong thing? Was I too much like myself around him? These questions where tearing me up.
It was finally the weekend and spring break was next week. My plans were doing what I do everyday, pity myself. I was in bed and all the lights in my room were off. It was getting dark out but not dark enough so I hid under my covers. I was slowly drifting asleep in till I felt my bundle of warmth being pulled away from me. I blinked a couple times as lights burned my eyes.
" Elena this is getting ridiculous." Bonnie and Caroline were standing at the end of my bed with my blanket. I groaned pulling my sheet over my head and faced away from them.
"Oh no, no, no!" Caroline jumped on top of me prying the blanket from my fingers and bringing it off my face.
"Go away!" I went to grab my pillow but Bonnie got to it first.
"We would not be good friends if we let you sit in your room and slowly rot."
"Seriously Elena whens the last time you took a shower? You can't let a boy destroy you like this!" Caroline got off of me and Bonnie went into my closest.
"If this is your way of making me feel better, you guys really suck at it. Can't you be like normal friends and bring me ice cream or something?" They just ignored me and Caroline started going through my drawers. "What the hell?"
"We are being better then just 'normal friends'." Bonnie came out of my closest with my suit case and threw it on my bed next to me.
" Now all you really need is fifty bikinis and shorts then we are set."
"Bikinis?" Were they crazy? "Caroline I don't know if you have looked outside lately but it is hardly bikini weather." They ignored me again and started throwing random things into my bag.
" I know that, silly. But in Miami it is perfect weather." Woah, woah, woah! I think not.
" Fuck that!" I slammed the suit case closed and they both glared. I didn't even want to get out of bed, let alone go to Florida!
" But it's Spring Break!" Bonnie complained, reopening the suitcase. I quickly shut it again. No way in hell was I going on spring break.
" You are coming Missy! We've been planning this since we were thirteen. I am not going to let stupid Stefan ruin our plans." Caroline yelled at me. I felt my heart flutter and not in the good way. Why did she have to bring up Stefan? Bitch.
" We can go all the next years of college!" I protested. I really did not want this to happen.
"No normal teenager who has the opportunity to go to Florida for Spring Break turns it down because they still have all of college to do it!" Caroline said as she flipped my suit case open again.
"Elena you can't let me go with just Caroline. She will get us lost and we will have to ask random boys to help us, and those boys will probably be bad news, and we will end up missing. So anything bad that would happen to us would be your fault." Bonnie chipped in as she threw a pair of flip flops in the bag.
"She's right! I would flirt with them and then we would end up in a ditch somewhere. But if you came then we would have you to guide us through all the naivety of spring break. We need responsible Elena."
"You guys are just guilt tripping me." There was silence and they just looked at each other then back to me.
"You're right, we are actually hoping old Elena comes back and we party so hard that we wont even remember half of the trip." I sighed and they both started smiling. They knew that was my giving in sigh. "Please, please, please, please." They both took one of my hands and gave me puppy dog eyes.
"I hate you guys so much."
"That's a yes!" Caroline screamed.
"Is that a yes?" Bonnie had to clarify.
"Uh, go pack my stuff." I grabbed my blanket from them and went back to hiding in my bed and they screamed and ran around my room. Why did I agree to this?
"Jenna, she said yes!" Bonnie yelled down the stairs and I heard Jenna yell something back but I missed what she said. Great parental skills Jenna...
"We leave tomorrow." Caroline said while tearing the blanket once again off of me.
"What!"
"Accept it Elena. Accept that we are leaving tomorrow and move on." Bonnie was zipping up my bag and throwing it over by the door.
"Take her advice in all aspects of your life. Accept and move on."
"Subtle, Caroline." I fake smiled at her and she looked at me unfazed.
"Look at it this way Elena, you may find some loven in Miami." I burst out laughing at that. It wasn't even remotely possible. "It could happen." She said innocently.
"No, it will happen!" Bonnie added as she sat down on my bed. She looked awfully excited about this.
The Next day.
"I did not agree to this!" I said as I stood in a line at the airport, waiting for security. They were making me go on a plane. A plane! Oh did I forget to mention I hate flying?
"It's a two hour flight Elena. It's a lot easier then driving." Caroline shuffled in front of me and started taking off her shoes and putting them into the little bin they had.
"It will be fine." Bonnie's calming voice came in from behind me.
"Will I be able to squeeze one of your hands the whole way?" I said while emptying my pockets.
"Actually..."
"What do you mean actually?"
"We didn't think you were going to come so we didn't buy your ticket in till last night and..."
"Go on." I rushed them.
"We aren't sitting by each you're a couple rows in front of us." I froze. This was like my worst nightmare. "Just hope the person next to you in understanding." Caroline smiled and quickly walked through the metal detector. I already regret this trip.
A little while later I was finally boarding the plane. Caroline and Bonnie were already on the plane because there row was so far back. I quickly found my row and saw that there was already a guy sitting in the window seat. I couldn't see what he looked like because he was looking out the window. I quickly shoved my bag I had with me in the cabinet above us and scooted over to the middle seat. I put my seat belt on and tightened it. I was already freaking out and we weren't even moving yet. I was looking around the plane as it was finally filled and the door was being closed. There was nobody on the isle side next to me and I was thankful it wasn't going to be too crowded. The moment the door of the plane finally shut I took in a huge breath. It was official now. I have no way of getting off of this death trap.
It didn't take long in till the flight attendants started giving directions. The next thing I knew I felt the plane slowly start to move. This is it. I squeezed my eyes shut and without realizing it, I grabbed the arm of the guy next to me. The plane lifted off the ground and I squeezed the arm even tighter. A couple minutes later the plane was finally leveled and I opened my eyes. I then noticed my grip on the guys arm didn't loosen. I looked at my arm then up to the guy and froze. I was looking into the eyes of the most beautiful man I've ever seen. I quickly let go, stuttering for words to apologize.
"Sorry. I don't like flying. " I mumbled and looked away from his overly gorgeous eyes. It was just too much. I never would of thought I'd see the day where good looks intimidated me or made shy.
"Or you just wanted to hold on tight to the sexy guy sitting next to you." That snapped me back into the right mind frame. Great, this guy was full of himself. On a normal day I would of laughed but after Stefan, I really didn't think cockiness was that great of a personality trait. I ignored him trying to concentrate on something else. I would get easily annoyed if I gave him too much attention.
We were flying for a while when the seat belt sign finally came off. I looked around as some people started to stand up and walk towards the bathrooms. I was still looking over my shoulder as I moved my arm to the armrest on the side next to the guy. His arm was leaning halfway against it on his side. I pushed it back a bit and got comfortable. Seconds later he pushed my arm away putting his arm fully on the rest. I immediately shoved his out of the way and put mine back on it. He then started to full on push my arm and I did the same. It went on for a couple of minutes in till we were practically hitting each other.
We both froze as both of our arms were raised in the air ready to hit the each other as the old lady flight attendant started yelling at us. We innocently put our arms down and the she gave us a hard looked and walked away.
"That was your fault." I said as she was finally out of hearing range.
"No way. My arm was there first."
"You should at least share. You don't own the plane."
"Listen child." He shifted in his seat, facing my direction. "I'm going to do, whatever I want to do. So if that means I want to put my arm on the armrest beside me." He picked up my arm throwing it onto my lap. "I will." He said while putting his hand on the armrest. My mouth hung open as he casually went back to sitting forward and glancing out the window. I then persistently shoved him away, taking over the armrest all over again. He turned to me and looked me dead in the eye while slowly picking my arm up again and bringing it back down to my sides.I huffed and sat up switching seats to the isle side.
"Happy?" I asked sarcastically.
"No." I was about to say something but the cart came by and smacked into my elbow. I gasped in pain and held my elbow as the guy next to me laughed. "Now I'm satisfied."
"You're such an ass!"
" Nice to meet you too." He said while turning back to the window. I pressed my lips together tightly and looked away from him before I snapped. I wish I was by my friends...
Two hours later, filled with glares and the occasional insult the plane was finally ready to land. I felt it slowly start to descend and I squeezed my eyes shut again and grasped onto my thighs this time.
"Oh no! We are crashing." I opened my eyes to see the annoying dick dramatically holding onto his seat belt with a look of horror on his face.
"You aren't funny!" He smiled at me and instantly relaxed.
The plane swiftly landed and we came to a sudden stop. I guess it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I took a couple of breaths and looked over my shoulder for Bonnie and Caroline. People slowly started standing up. I stood up quickly needing to stretch and went to grab my bag from the cabinet. My bag got shoved into the way back and even on my tippy toes I couldn't reach it. The guy was waiting impatiently in front of me as I jumped trying to reach my bag.
"Do you want to help me?" He stepped forward pushing me out of the way and easily reaching my bag and bringing it to me. "Thanks." I mumbled and he turned around heading for the exit. I looked behind me to see no Caroline or Bonnie so I just followed figuring I'd find them when I got out. I was slowly following the same guy all the way out of the plane. We walked side by side in silence the whole way through the tunnel. The moment we reach the inside of the airport I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.
There was a guy holding a sign with the name Damon on it. I looked over to see the man beside me laughing at him. I didn't realize we were standing so close. I quickly backed up, not wanting people to think we were friends or something. The two of them walked to each other and did there little bro hug thing.
"Elena!" My head turned in the direction of a super excited looking Caroline. "We are in Miami!" She practically screamed. She ran up to me jumping up and down. Bonnie followed looking just as excited. "Woah." She suddenly stopped jumping and looked over my shoulder. "Look at that hottie!" I turned to see who she was talking about and when my eyes landed on him I felt myself gag.
"Ew." She looked at me like I was insane. " Yeah he is hot but he certainly knows it. He's a dick! I had to sit next to him the whole way."
"You do know I am standing right here." The guy turned around looking at us and Caroline blushed looking away.
" Wait, you've been complaining about her this whole time?" The guy that I assumed was his friend pointed in my direction. "Why the hell are you complaining?"
" Oh trust me, She's a bitch!" He said it staring at me.
"I can't say it was nice to meet you." I huffed turning around grabbing Bonnie and Caroline's hands and walking away in the other direction as Caroline waved behind us at them. Once we were finally out of seeing range I let go of them.
"Wont you relax Elena?"
"Yes I can." I said while smiling and pushing all my thoughts of Stefan and that horrible flight aside. "Because we are on SPRING BREAK!"
AN: Just so you know everyone is human and Elena and Damon have never met/heard of each other before.
Please give your opinions. If you want anything special to happen feel free to tell me. I love suggestions.
