But if you want I'll try to love again

    Three nights and counting. Stefan hadn’t come back to the boarding house and even Damon was getting concerned. Damon didn’t show his emotions often but when he did, you knew it it was real. The worry buried in his eyes was making Elena jittery. She tried calling Stefan’s cell phone a number of times, each one just rang and rang until the voice mail picked up. After a few calls, the voice mail began to pick it up automatically.
    She had to keep going to school though. Jenna could stand her ‘staying at bonnie or Caroline’s’ all the time...

“What happened?” he asked difficult.

“They brought him to a private room, like you asked” Derek answered agitated. “Veronica, you need to call this off. What you’re doing is wrong”
Veronica turned to him. “You’d be very wise to shut up now” she said. She walked through a door at the end of the room, entering another one.
Damon was chained...
