Vampire Diaries Meet Their Characters Chapter 12

Damon wandered around the complex, feeling lost and uncertain. They brushed up against him like an annoying cat that just wouldn't go away. He didn't know why, but he felt attracted to Nina. He couldn't explain what it was that drew him to her. Maybe it's because she looks like Elena and Katherine? He didn't know. Besides, she was with Ian, or atleast she was before he died. Now she had no one. 

He felt torn between the three, not knowing which one to choose. Elena was with Stefan, Katherine didn't care about him, and Nina loved Ian but he was dead. "This Is so frustrating."

The door to the boarding house opened and Stefan walked in, back from dropping the cast off at the set. He cast a look at Damon. "How was it between you and Nina?"

Damon shrugged. "It went fine." 

Stefan could tell that there was something else that he wasn't telling him. "Damon, what happened?"

Damon glared at Stefan. "Nothing, ok? Nothing happened. We just talked and that was it!"

Damon went over to the bar and poured himself a drink. He didn't want his brother questioning him, he just wanted to be left alone with his thoughts. Stefan watched his brother from the bar. He knew that something happened between them because as he was coming back to the boarding house he saw Nina running down the sidewalk, looking upset. He had tried to stop her but she snapped at him and continued on her way. 

Damon set his empty glass down harder then he meant to and trudged upstairs, intending to stay as far away from Stefan as possible. Stefan heard the bedroom door slam and went to go sit on the couch. He pulled out a book and started to read. 

A hard knock on the door caused Stefan to look up from his book. He got up and answered it, surprise evident in his face when he saw Nina standing there. "Nina, what are you doing here?" 

"I came here to see Damon. Is he here?"

Stefan opened the door wider and motioned her to come inside. "Damon is upstairs right now. I think it's best if you wait for him."

Nina looked at Stefan with pitiful eyes. "I didn't mean to do what I did to Damon. He hates me."

Stefan slid onto the couch and rubbed Nina's back comforting. "Hey, it's ok. What exactly happened between you two?"

Stefan sat in silence as Nina explained everything to him. He sighed. "My brother is very upset and crippled right now because of Katherine. He's really unstable right now."

Nina nodded, staring at the hard floor of the boarding house. "This is my fault. I made him like this."

Stefan looked at her confused. "What do you mean?" 

"I told him that we weren't meant for each other after we kissed. I knew that Damon felt something between us and that's why I had to push him away. To keep him away from me."

"Why would you want to keep him away from you?"

Nina sighed. "Because I love him too."

Stefan stared at her in shock. "You're what?"

Nina sniffed back tears as she tried to control herself. "Yes, I'm in love with him. But I also love Ian too. He's really sweet and cares alot about me. Even though he's gone I still feel like I shouldn't be with anyone else."

Stefan sighed. "I'm sorry. I know that it is hard choosing between two people." His mind flashed back to Katherine, and how that nearly ripped him and his brother apart.

"I know." replied Nina sullenly. "I know how hard it was for you."

Stefan offered her a sad smile. "I'm sure it will get better."

Nina nodded. "Me too."

The opening of a door was heard followed by footsteps coming down the stairs. Damon appeared at the bottom, looking directly at Nina. "I see you are back."

Stefan quickly stood up. "I have to go check on Elena and make sure that she is safe."

Nina and Damon both stared at each other as the front door clicked shut. "Listen Damon-"

"Save your excuses. I know what you are going to say so don't bother saying it."

Nina glared sternly at Damon. "Listen Damon, I just wanted to say that-that-"

"I said save it!" Damon interrupted, glaring daggers at Nina. "I don't need you to feel sorry about hurting my feelings! I've been through it before and I don't care anymore!" 

Nina stood up and walked towards Damon. "Damon, I'm so sorry." She put wrapped her arms around Damon and hugged him.

Damon reluctantly returned the hug, not in the mood for any human contact right now. They broke apart and looked into each other's eyes. Damon stared at her coldly. "Aren't you cheating on your dead boyfriend?"

Nina looked at him in exasperation. "Ian and I aren't even together! I have feelings for him but he has a girlfriend!"

Damon's face seemed to brighten a little at the news, but he still remained skeptical. "Since he has a girlfriend, what were you going to do?"

"Maybe wait for him or find someone else. His girlfriend is very controlling of him."

Damon nodded. "I know what it's like to have someone that is controlling."

"You mean Katherine?"

Damon nodded. "Yes. She's the most controlling and selfish person you will ever meet."

Nina smiled. "I know exactly how she is. I play her and Elena on the show."

Damon laughed lightly. "I sure hope you're doing it right."

"As right as I'll ever be doing."

Nina looked down at her watch. "Oh snap, I need to be at the set in a few minutes to do the next scene." She grabbed her bag and dashed for the door. "See you later Damon!"

Damon watched as she left, a bad feeling settling in the pit of his stomach.
