Chapter 1:
Elena's POV:
Have you ever gone through any situation which not only changes your life but also changes your relations with some people you care about and love dearly? This is the story of how one little mistake changed my life forever.
I was here to tell my best friend Damon why I broke up with Liam the jerk. I also had some other news to tell him and just hoped that he would not hate me. I suddenly felt the need to puke. I rushed to the bathroom in his house and emptied the contents of my stomach. "Elena are you alright", Damon called out to me coming into the washroom. I nodded flushing the toilet and rinsed my mouth. "So what happened? You came here looking all depressed and angry and then you suddenly start to throw up. Are you ok? Do you have food poisoning?" Damon asked me concerned. "I am completely fine Damon and no I do not have food poisoning. Let's go to the living room and we can talk there." I told him. He led me to the living room and we both sat down on the couch.
I looked at him and gathered my courage and started my story. "I committed the biggest mistake of my life and slept with Liam because he said that if I really loved I would take the next step in the relationship.
Last week I realized that I was two weeks late for my period and a home pregnancy proved my suspicions to be true but that quite strange as I remember using a condom.
I went to tell Liam that I was pregnant but I found him and the town slut Sybil in bed together. I ran away from there and called Liam and told him to come and meet me at the local coffee shop. He showed up there and I told him about this but he accused me of sleeping with you and I quote "Tell Salvatore to come up and give his kid a name and not be a coward." I don't know what to do now Damon. I sure as hell cannot tell my parents about this as they will disown me. Please just tell me how to deal with this. I am sure you would know what to do."
Damon just sat there shocked and stared at me and I could practically see the wheels turning in his head as he thought hard about something. He suddenly gets up and starts pacing around the room.
After a while he comes to me and sits down again and says, "Elena marry me. We can tell our parents that we have been in a relationship for a while now and I am the reason you broke up with Liam. I will help you support the child and you need not worry about your parents or mine.
We have been friends since forever so I am sure they will not mind. We will go on our honeymoon and then after that tell everyone that we are expecting our first child and when the kid is born they can think it is premature."
I look at him as if he had grown a second head. "Damon that is very generous of you but I cannot destroy your life like this. Just let me think about it and I will talk to you about this later." with that I got up and ran from his house. I left the beautiful and freakishly big house near the stream and went back to my own apartment. I sat there thinking about what Damon had said and I started coming up with excuses to not marry him. I could not ruin his life like that. He was supposed to marry someone he loved not his pregnant best friend. I hated that he thought that he was obliged to do such a thing only for me.
The doorbell rang and brought me out of my thoughts and stopped my ranting. Opening it I found Sybil standing there. She smirked at me and made a move to enter the house but I blocked her at the door and was about to shut the door in her face when she said, "Heard your best friend got you pregnant and you were trying to trick Liam into marrying you and claiming the kid who is not even his. I only came to tell you that you have to stay away from Liam as he is mine and someday I will even have Damon but until then take care and stop whoring around."I slapped her hard across her face and slammed the door shut. How dare she I thought as I went to the kitchen. The doorbell rang again and I opened the door angrily to see Liam standing there.
He entered the house without an invitation and hugged me. I tensed and did not return the hug. He pulled out a ring and blurted, "Elena I trust you. I should not have acted that way when you told me that you were carrying my child. I am sorry. Please let me make up for that mistake. Marry me Elena. Please." I looked at him and mind went to the image of him and Sybil, his reaction when I told him that I was expecting, Damon's proposal and what Sybil just told me about Liam.
I made up my mind then and there and said, "Liam I am sorry. You were right. You are not the father of the child I am expecting. I tried to trick into marrying me but at that time I had not known that you were a big cheater so please forgive me. I cannot marry you and you can get out my house this very instance." He stared at me shocked but before he could say anything I kicked him out the house and slammed the door shut. I went to the kitchen to cook and distract myself from the mess I was in but I was not successful in doing that. An hour later I glanced at the clock and saw that it was 8:30. I sighed and picked up my car keys, locked the house and made my way towards Damon's house for the second time that day with my decision made.
What will Elena do now? How will Damon react to what Elena has in mind? Stay tuned to find out.
