They were sitting on the same terrace Elena had had ice cream with Damon when Derek grabbed a chair from the টেবিল পরবর্তি to theirs and invited himself.
“How are আপনি guys doing?” he asked looking from Stefan to Elena. He’d never seen the blonde girl before and thus he didn’t pay much attention to her.
“Did Damon send you?” Elena asked short.
“What? No!” Derek ব্যক্ত desperate. He looked around before he continued. “But it’s because of him I’m here. He’s not doing good, Elena. He’s a total wreck”
“He should’ve thought about that before he attacked the poor girl” Rebekah got in between. Derek looked up and stared at Rebekah.
“Something wrong?” she asked. Derek shook his head. “No, not at all” he rotated his head to Elena. “Elena, can I talk to আপনি in private? It’s important”
Elena looked at Stefan as if asking for permission.
“Eh, Rebekah, we need to go” Stefan said.
“We do?” Rebekah ব্যক্ত with a sharp look at Derek.
“Yes, we do” Stefan ব্যক্ত sharp.
“Okay” Rebekah got up. She grabbed her টাকার থলি and accepted Stefan’s arm. She turned to Elena. “Elena, sweetie, আপনি have my number, call me whenever আপনি need a friend” she ব্যক্ত sweet.
As soon as they were gone Derek turned to Elena. “You can’t trust that girl” he ব্যক্ত agitated.
“What are আপনি talking about? Rebekah’s really nice” Elena ব্যক্ত annoyed.
“That’s acting. She’s evil” Derek insisted. “She and Katherine are the reason আপনি and Damon are fighting”
Elena shook her head. “Damon and I are not fighting. We’re just over”
“No! Katherine attacked you! She compelled আপনি to believe Damon did and Rebekah compelled Damon to believe he did. And she also compelled him to stop drinking blood” Derek said. “You need to convince him to drink blood again. He’ll die if আপনি don’t”
Elena let out a deep sigh. “That” she said. “is a whole load of crap”
Derek grabbed her shoulders. “You have to believe me! I heard everything that night! I’m not making this up and this is not something Damon came up with either. He reacted the same way আপনি do”
Elena pushed Derek away and he fell back on his chair. She got up and shot him a dirty look. “Tell Damon that he has to leave me alone and that includes sending his minions after me”
