10. The Turning Point

"Aria relax, I won't leave without saying goodbye to you face to face, now just go to school" Damon said into the phone.

"I swear to god Salvatore if you leave without saying goodbye I'll hunt you down and stake you myself, am I clear?" Aria said.

"Crystal" Damon said smirking, "Now hang up and go find your bestie, I'm sure she's going to want to know where you were all night".

"Ugh don't remind me, I still don't get why I couldn't just skip school and stay with you".

"Because than Elena and Stefan will think I've kidnapped you".

Aria scoffed, "As if you care what they think".

"Your right, I don't" Damon replied, "But you care what they think, and you wouldn't want them to get the wrong impression now would you?".

Aria sighed, "Yeah, yeah".

"Now go to class Aria, and stay assured I won't leave without saying goodbye".

"Promise?".

"I promise Aria".

Aria sighed, "Okay than, bye Damon, see you soon?".

"Bye Aria, see you soon".

After Aria hanged up, Damon went towards the window with a small smile on his face, last night Aria had spent the whole night with Damon in the woods, they talked about everything and anything, Aria helped take Damon's mind off of his failure, she made it her mission to make Damon smile, and she didn't give up till she succeeded. This morning Aria was reluctant to leave Damon, she was scared he was going to leave without saying goodbye, after much promising from Damon, Aria finally left for school but not before threatening Damon to stake him if he didn't say goodbye before leaving.

Just thinking about Aria made a smile form on Damon's face, "You know, for someone who just failed in his mission to free his one true love, you sure seem happy" Stefan said, entering the living room.

Damon rolled his eyes, "What can I say, I had great company last night, who managed to take my mind off of things".

"That reminds me, where is she?" Stefan asked, "You didn't hurt her right?".

Stefan knew Damon will never hurt Aria, after all they were connected, but Stefan didn't want Damon to know he knew everything, about Aria and him being connected, about his and Natalie's love, and specially about his hatred for Katherine, Stefan wanted Damon to tell all that to him himself.

Damon scoffed, "I would never hurt her Stefan".

"I'm just asking, your known to do reckless things when your angry" Stefan justified.

"Well I didn't do anything to her, so chill out" Damon snapped, angry with the fact that Stefan will think he will hurt Aria.

"So any idea of where you'll go?" Stefan asked Damon, after coming home Damon had told Stefan he was leaving Mystic Falls, Stefan let Damon know he was also leaving, too many people got hurt because of them, but truth be told Stefan doubted Damon will be able to leave Aria behind.
