I'M FINE
❛ you're undead to me❜

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

As Rosalie was sleeping her subconscious led her to the Salvatore boarding house. It continued leading her around the house until it led her to the cellar.

Walking towards it she saw a pale Damon. She gasped looking at him, but he couldn't see her, but he could feel someone was here. He looked towards her where she was standing but no one was there.

"I'll get you out of here Dames. I promise," Rosalie whispered as her body started waking up. Soon enough she back in her bed and woke up gasping for breath not understanding how she did that, but that didn't matter what mattered was saving her best friend.

I soon got up and started getting dressed. Tomorrow was the Sexy Suds car wash which both Caroline and I were in charge of.

After getting dressed I walked downstairs to see Care with the flyers I smiled at her as we walked to the door and headed to school.

Getting there we walked to where the cheerleaders were waiting for us to give out the flyers.

"The sexy suds car wash is tomorrow. The football team and the band have committed. Well, not all the band. Just the ones who could pull off the bikini. I want, in your face, sexy. I mean, it's a fundraiser, for god's sake," Caroline said to the girls making me shake my head at her.

After giving the girls their jobs I was walking and overheard Stefan's conversation with Avery.

"He's gone, Avery," Stefan said to her making me freeze. I knew for a fact he wouldn't leave without letting me know. He was also supposed to message me last night.

"When is he coming back?" Avery questioned him.
"He's not coming back. I'm sorry," Stefan said as he walked away from Elena and Avery and over to me.

"Hey Rosie," Stefan said to me as he started walking to me as I gave out flyers.

"Hey Steffie," I told him as I smiled at everyone who walked by.

"Are you okay? You seem upset," Stefan told me making me look towards him. I sighed shaking my head.

"I'm fine Steffie," I told him making him now, but he didn't look convinced.

"You know one thing I learned is that when a woman says she's okay she isn't," Stefan told me making me laugh softly.

"Goodbye Stefan," I told him as I walked away and over to Bonnie who was beside her locker.

"Hey, Bon-Bon have you talked to Grams yet?" I asked her making her shake her head at me.

"Not yet I'm going today if you want to come," she told me making me smile as I nod.

"Definitely!" I told her making her laugh at me as the bell rung and we headed to class and we only had a sub since Tanner was dead.

After school, I followed Bonnie to Gram's house. Getting there I linked arms with Bonnie as we walked into the house.

"Grams!" I yelled into the house as I heard laughing it and saw her walking towards me.

"Rosie," she told me coming over to me and bringing me into a hug making me smile.

"It's been too long. You need to visit more," she told me sternly making me smile at her.

"Sorry I will visit you more often. I promise," I told her making her smile at me.

"Now let's go get you some cookies and hot chocolate," she told me making me squeal as I raced into the kitchen leaving beyond a laughing Bonnie and Grams.

As they talked about Bonnie maybe being a witch, I stayed in the kitchen not wanting to overstep. Soon enough both Bonnie and Grams came into the kitchen.

I smiled at them as Bonnie sat beside me leaning into me.

"You, okay?" I asked her making her smile down at me.

"Yeah, I'm good," she told me making me smile.

"Rosie, are you staying for dinner?" Grams asked me and I smile looking up at her.

"Yes, ma'am if that okay," I told her making her smile at me.

"Of course, you are always welcome here," Grams told me making me smile at her and for the rest of the night, all three of us just talked and laughed forgetting about all the danger that was coming soon.

The next day was the Sexy Suds Car Wash. After getting changed in my bikini I headed to the school. Getting there I headed right to where Caroline was at talking to Elena about the rules.

"No friend discounts. No freebies. No pay ya laters. We are not running a charity here," Caroline says as I shake my head at my twin.

"No, we are not," Elena says with a small smile as Stefan arrives.

"Hi," Stefan said coming to stand beside me. I smile looking at him bringing him into a hug which makes him immediately hug back.

"Hey, Steffie!" I told him making him shake his head at me.

"Hey!" Elena says when we pull away. Stefan smiles at her.

"The event is called sexy suds, you know," Caroline says looking at the three of us that still had clothes on. I shake my head at her as Stefan looks towards me.

"Did we just get scolded?" Stefan asked me making me nod at him.

"And judged, yeah," Elena says as we watch Caroline walk away.

"Well, we need to listen to the boss," I told them as I shim out of my shorts and pull my tank top off showing the red bikini I had on.

"Alright, I am going to go. See you both later," I told them both with a smile as I walked away kissing the glances I got.

As I was helping Stefan wash a car I noticed the ring on his finger. I know that Damon has the same one and that it helps them walk in the sun, but he didn't know that.

"You're getting soap in that," I told him catching Elena's attention.

"Oh, it's fine," he told me with a smile as Elena walks up to him.

"I noticed that Damon has one, too. Is there a story behind it?" Elena asks him making him look down at the ring.

"Yeah, it's the family crest from the Italian renaissance," Stefan told me as I looked up with a beaming smile.

"Hai antenati dall'Italia?" I question him making him look at me with a smile.  (You have ancestors from Italy?)

"Sì, certamente. Tu parli italiano?" He questions me making me nod at him. (Yes I do. You speak Italian?)

"Sì, certamente. Volevo imparare una nuova lingua, quindi ho scelto l'italiano," I told him making him smile at me. (Yes I do. I wanted to learn a new language so I chose Italian.)

"Sai questo significa che un giorno devi farmi italiano, giusto?" I question him with a tensing smile. (You know this means you have to make me italian one day right?

He laughed at me as he nods making me smile even bigger.

"Yes!" I yell out making Elena looks at both of us confused.

"Uhm. What's the stone?" Elena says as she looks at me with a mini glare.

"Ok. I'm gonna get some towels," I told the two making Stefan look at me in a weird way as Elena smiles.

"Are you sure?" Stefan questions me at the same time as Elena speaks.

"Ok," Elena says and I smile looking at Stefan.
"Yeah, I'll see you both later," I told them as I walk over to Caroline.

"Hey, we're out of towels and those shimmy things," I told her making her nod at me.

"I'll go get some more," she told me as she started to get up, but I stop her.

"No, I will," I told her, and she nods at me as I smile, but instead of going inside the school, I head towards my car speed off to the Salvatore boarding house.

Getting there I checked to make sure that Zach wasn't there before heading inside. As I walked inside, I looked around trying to figure out where Damon could be.

"Damon!" I yelled loudly trying to see if I could find him.

"Cupcake," I hear him say but it wasn't that loud, and he sounded weak. I immediately headed to where he heard his voice and ended up in the cellar.

I recognized it immediately and ran over to where Damon was locked up.

"Dames," I say looking at him sadly. He looks up and smiles slightly at me.

"Cupcake," he sighs relieved as I open the door and I head inside.

"Damon are you okay?" I asked him seeing how weak he seemed. He nodded at me, but I wasn't even close to convinced.

"Here," I told him as I gave him my wrist. He immediately shakes his head at me.

"No Rosie. I could lose control. No," Damon told me making me roll my eyes at him.

"Drink you, idiot. It will be fine I promise," I told him, and he looked at me with worried eyes, and I smile at him nodding as he takes my wrist. As he bites, I hissed feeling the pain.

Damon only drinks for about five seconds before pulling away. He looks at me wide-eyed.

"What?" I asked him and he continues to look at me confused.

"That was the best blood I have ever had. Just a little bit of it and I feel completely new," he told me making me look down at my wrist confused.

"Rosalie," Damon called me making me look up at him. I know he is serious seeing his serious expression and how he called me by my full name.

"Never and I mean never let anyone drink from your blood. Okay?" He told me making me nod at him.

"Okay," I told him as he smiles at me and then gets up and helps me up.

"Here," he told me giving me his wrist. I smile at him as he bites and lets me drink only a sip before pulling away.

"Ugh! That is still so disgusting," I told him making him shake his head at me as we walk up into the living room.

As we get there Zach walks in and looks at both Damon and I confused. Damon immediately speeds to him and was about to break his neck.

"No Damon!" I yelled at him making him stop as he looks at me annoyed.

"You can't kill him!" I yell at him making him sigh as he shakes his head at me. He then rips Zach's vervain watch off and stars to compel him.

"You are going to leave Mystic Falls and never return. You aren't going to tell anyone, and you are going to sign everything over to me," Damon compels him making me roll my eyes at him.

"Alright you have fun Damon, but don't do something stupid. Love you, you idiot!" I yelled as I left the boarding house.

"Love you too! Be careful!" Damon yells as I send him a thumbs up as I left the house.

As Stefan was helping everyone clean up Caroline came up to him.

"Hey Stefan, have you seen Rosie?" Caroline asked him as she looked around for her twin.

"No not since she went to go get towels," Stefan told her as Caroline looked concerned.

"Is she with your brother?" Caroline asked making Stefan freeze as he looks at her.

"Why would she be with Damon?" Stefan asked worried clear in his voice and eyes.

"Because their friends," Caroline told him as it was common sense.

"Right," Stefan said trying to figure out what his brother was planning.

"Well, if you hear from her tell her to message me, please," Caroline told him as she starts to walk away.

"Wait, Caroline!" Stefan calls out to her making Caroline look towards him.

"I'm sorry for what I said the first time we meet. That was beyond rude of me," Stefan told her making Caroline smile at him.

"You've been forgiven Stefan ever since you arrived, I actually saw my sister smiling again. So, you, I forgive you," Caroline told him making Stefan smile at her.

Caroline then leaves and heads back home. Getting there she sees her sister's car and immediately runs inside the house.

"Rosalie! Where have you been?!" Caroline yelled as she sees her sister sitting on the couch watching Friends as she eats ice cream.

"Had to save my best friend that was locked up in a cellar," Rosalie told Caroline who glared at her.

"Seriously!" She yells as she goes to sit beside her sister who smiles at her as she heads her the ice cream. They both cuddle under the blankets laughing as they watch Friends.

"He cheated on her!" Rosalie yelled at her sister as they watch friends.

"They were on a break!" Caroline yells as they both glare at each other before laughing.

Meanwhile, Stefan arrives at his house and sees the door wide open. He immediately races to the cellar and sees the door open and no Damon.

"No," Stefan whispered looking wide-eyed.

"Zach!" He yells as he runs up the stores looking for Zach, but he couldn't find him anywhere.

"No," Stefan whispers.
