Eden raised her eyebrows, wandered over to him. “What exactly do you mean? Everything seems normal here at least.” She wondered.

“Well you walked into the grill, unless someone has decided to start murdering people here or throwing their tantrums in this place in front of all the human, clueless, people then of course it looks normal.” He mumbled looking out at the coupe people scattered around the place. “Doesn’t mean it is normal.”

“No way!” Cristina giggled lowering to her knees to get a closer look at the dog. She stroked her a couple of times and then picked her up, holding her carefully in her arms. “She’s perfect, and so cute.” She grinned looking at the dog. “Hello Khaleesi you beautiful girl.”

“Not if you spend more than a day with her. Then you feel like she’s suffocating because she’ll never leave your side.” He half joked, smiling while watching her talk to the dog. “You should get one though, but i might be bias considering I have like four other dogs at home.”

Blair + Adam

“Yep...you do...like all over. It’s just all there.” He lied, laughing as he did so, then frowning at her threat. “You wouldn’t do that. If you ripped my spine out you’d get sad because you’d miss me.” He almost added in something about how she helped him from Leia but decided against it, smiling instead. “So does that mean we can do whatever since you won’t have Liam?”

“Hey hey hey. Most teens don’t want to go to school after high school and we just decided to take a big step and go to college so yes, a reason to celebrate.” She added with a wink. “Dude. You’re Adam Salvatore. You’re the funny, fun, cute, witty guy. Nathan’s looks will only get him so far… once he opens his mouth it’s like…oh no. Stop.” She shrugged. “But you.” She wiggled her brows. “It’s the shy ones that are the real freaks.”

“I guess you got me there.” He responded, bursting into a laugh after what she said about him and Nathan. “That’s a lie....Nathan opens his mouth all the time and still gets what he wants.” He shrugged. “But my point is I won’t have to deal with that...as much at least.” He stood up walking over to stand in front of her. “So how should we celebrate exactly? I need to do something that reminds me that I am young and stupid. Very stupid.” 

“I don’t know but I’m getting a ton of mixed messages… I can’t figure out if I was a hookup that we shouldn’t talk about or maybe something you still wanted… So, Adam. Answer me this,” she said, taking a deep breath, “was I just a one night stand and nothing more? Or do you think maybe we still have a chance?”

Once the question left her mouth his eyes went a little wide which he quickly tried wiping off the dumbfounded expression. Without knowing how to respond he let his mouth drop open slightly like it would help some kind of word form. “Well--I--” Bringing his hand up he rubbed the back of his neck nervously. “I--I don’t know...” Dropping his hand he looked over at her while his brain scrambled to find the words. “We went as friends...it’s not like I planned for us to sleep together. I mean not that I didn’t want to but--” He sighed out of frustration. “Maybe we do, I don’t know everything’s a little confusing.”

A little trouble never hurt nobody- Nathan || Adam

Hearing most of the conversation when Adam bumped into the girl all he could do was stare at her as she recalled the conversation, blinking a couple times. When she finally walked away he couldn’t help but laugh making his way to Nathan’s room. He looked over at his cousin, shrugging a shoulder. “I heard the whole thing, there wasn’t an exaggeration in anything she said. Which also makes me need to ask if you and Logan are serious because you just turned her down....or are you not anything anymore and that’s why you seem high every time I see you now?” He asked, slightly worried but if he wasn’t ripping peoples heads off it meant he wasn’t totally off.

“I’m glad that you didn’t completely let me who I wanted to be. It was nice to have at least one person who attempted to hold me back. Remind me who I once was.” Rick admitted with a genuine smile. “Have you tried to talk to her? To convince her that she doesn’t need to do all of this? Because part of me wonders if she is trying to prove something.” He added, watching as Adam sat down on the bed, but made no move to move from his spot. “Well, while she wants both of us, I won’t bow down to her wills. She has to make a decision. One that sticks.”

“Well someone had to so it might as well have been me.” He said with a shrug although it felt nice. His actions being noticed and appreciated was different, which was sad considering he only did anything to help people. “I have. She just said it was the natural thing to do because we’re vampires...something along those lines. I just told her she’ll live her life her way and I’ll live mine, my way.” Adam told him, chuckling. “Yeah...okay, we’ll see about that one.”

“Oh, I thought we came to an understanding earlier. Remember when I suggested the idea of being a little more than just friends? Or, did you not actually like that idea, because if you didn’t…Then I just really embarrassed myself.” Erin laughed nervously as she looked towards him. 

“What? I mean...” Bringing his free arm up he scratched the side of his head, shaking it. “No I mean I just, it flew over my head what you meant but I did like your idea.” He smiled a little noticing how she got nervous, tilting his head in the direction he began walking with her once again. “So...Chinese?”

Cristina || Open

“That’s my dog.” Adam chuckled, looking over at where his dog was currently sniffing different plants. Whistling she quickly ran over, first to him, but then she moved over to Cristina sniffing her now. “Her name’s Khaleesi. Super spoiled so she loves being held if you want to pick her up and just squeeze her.”

{open}

“I don’t know about that....” Adam commented taking a sip of his drink smiling over at Eden raising his shoulders in a shrug. “I would say a lot has changed, maybe too much.”

“So what, I’m suppose to carry my siblings actions on my shoulders? Because the truth is I do,  I think about it every freaking day! Our parents aren’t around, there isn’t anyone to help or protect them and I spent nights laying awake wondering if one day one of them is just going to snap and do something so terrible that the only option is–” she stops. “I know I’m a fucking Hypocrite but I didn’t choose to be the daughter of an original or the daughter of a ripper, or have my siblings slowly follow in their fucking footsteps while I stand there and watch because they wont fucking let me help. And yeah I’m always going to be crazy protective, even when their in the wrong. It comes with the territory of being an older sibling. “

Groaning in frustration from the things she was saying, he wanted to bite his tongue. He usually did, but things felt different for him. He wanted to be himself but he was also tired of the way people had been treating him lately and it seemed that his first sign of how tired he was, was coming out on Leia. “Your parents aren’t around, sucks. Your siblings are something you have to worry about, sucks. You feel a responsibility over them because you’re older, sucks.” He spat. “If it weren’t for Jenny I’d be the youngest, I don’t use my parents not being around as any excuse to cry a river. My siblings might be royally screwed up and I might do just about anything for them but I never let them think they can get away with something. I never let their actions be more justified than someone else. I am taking care of my family without throwing some kind of anger towards anyone else for making me deal with the responsibility of keeping them in line. And for the record, I’ve been taking care of your siblings too and I’m still younger than everyone. I mean for gods sake Jenny is suppose to be much younger than she is yet she has more sense than you. So forgive me if I don’t give you some sort of sympathy, you should go to Esther though. I hear she’s very good at lashing out on people who don’t deserve it. So at least you guys will have one thing to bond over.”

“Oh, don’t look at me like that, you know exactly what I’m talking about,” she sighed. “Do the words Miss Mystic Falls ring a bell to you? Because you know… we… and then not only did we barely talk for the rest of the night, but we’ve been going along as if nothing happened… but it did… and… and I can’t just ignore it!”

“Um...” Adam stood there blinking a few times, shutting him up was what people wanted to do saying he talked too much but now he couldn’t think of a single proper sentence. “Okay...yeah...” He mumbled slowly nodding his head while his mind raced for things to say as he walked into the living room with her. “What do you want to know about it? I mean...I just..I don’t really...I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be saying.”

AfterMath - L&A

Looking around for the remote Adam turned the tv off when he heard a knock at the door. Walking over he looked at Lucy a little surprised by her appearance but then his body went slightly tense at her simple words. Feeling like a child being caught doing something he wasn’t suppose to. “Okay...” He breathed out stepping to the side. “What about..exactly?” He asked closing the door once she stepped into the home and although he was asking he had a pretty good guess on what it was.

“You were always a sucker for a pretty face.” Erin nudged him playfully, laughing the entire time. Every minute she spent with Adam she always felt happier. It was probably why she kept him around. “A decent one.” She replied back with a grin. “Eat? Oh right, we’re supposed to get dinner… Unless you would rather go to your place and order Chinese. That way we waste less time.”

“You’re right...can’t even try to deny that statement.” Adam grinned as they continued to walk, thinking of different places they could go to. “Huh?” Stopping in his tracks, making her stop with him. “Waste less time for what? But that sounds like a good idea actually i’ll never not want Chinese food.” 

“You were able to look passed all the crazy shit I did, why can’t you look passed it when it comes to her? She’s just trying to find her way through the world and if this helps her, then should we stop her? Because, if we try and stop her then she will only get worse. By supporting her then we are helping her through this difficult time. Elizabeth is the type of person who lets her emotions control her. She feeds off ours as well. If we show her that we still support her then she’ll slowly go back to who she used to be.” Rick argued though he honestly wondered if he was actually say shit. His brows furrowed when he noticed the envelope in Adam’s hand. The handwriting was familiar and his breath caught when Adam explain what it was. Of course Adam had her do something like this. It was pretty smart if he was being honest with himself. “Thank you.” He replied quietly, taking the paper into his hand. At this moment he wasn’t ready to read it, but one day he would. “I wish she would choose Ben over me. He could give her the life she deserved. One that would be a lot better than what I could provide.”

“I am looking passed them, doesn’t mean I have to like that I am, I wasn’t happy letting you slide by.” He admitted. “Trust me you don’t have to tell me how to handle the situation. Damon Salvatore is my dad and well, you’re my brother. She wants to do damage then it’s up to her, but I don’t agree.” He watched Rick as he took the letter from him and slowly nodded his head taking a couple steps back to sit down on the edge of his bed. “I feel bad for Ben because if there is a choice, I don’t think he’ll have the happy ending but I’ll be the first to admit to the fact that Liz is selfish and wants the both of you even if it isn’t fair.”
