WHO: Brooke and Damon; idontbottom WHEN: After this WHERE: A hotel bar WHAT: Brooke and Damon drown their sorrows over irritating boyfriends RATING: HIGH STATUS: In progress
Brooke really needed something to drink. She understood that Damon was a vampire and had spent a long time being cruel and mean to everyone, but she really had believed he'd changed. Still, what he'd been planning to do to that girl was terrible, even if she was a snob. Brooke knew from first-hand experience what it was like to be attacked by a vampire. Damon had made her life hell in those first few weeks and Klaus had nearly killed her only a month ago. That the man who claimed to love her would inflict that on someone else made her feel sick to her stomach. She couldn't stand being around him right now, or his brother. They were as bad as each other. Not for the first time, she wondered what she'd gotten herself into.
Brooke thought she could put up with another Damon's company. She felt sorry for the one she was going to meet. She could understand boyfriend troubles, even if she didn't get the whole incest thing. She was an only child so she supposed it had never really been put to the test, but she didn't think she'd be down with that kind of thing. She supposed it was different for vampires. Normalcy must get a little boring. Perhaps more people should just follow their hearts.
Brooke made her way into the hotel bar, clutching the strap of her oversized orange, leather handbag. She spotted Damon immediately at the polished wood bar and took a deep breath before making her way over. "Hey..." she said, a little hesitantly. "I'm Brooke. We talked."
