No real parents, constantly bouncing from home to home and never really feeling settled...some of them took up illegal activities within the muggle community, since I mostly just dated muggles. Most wizard and witches I encountered through schooling and stuff thought I was too rough around the edges, so they generally stayed away from me." Those had been incredibly dark times for Damon. "I guess I just found comfort in being with people that could understand what I went through, but as I got older I decided I didn't want to be a spiteful person who used their crappy childhood as a crutch to not do well in life, or make anything of themselves. So, I ended up cutting off ties with them...I'm not really sure what happened to them but I hope they were able to find the peace that I've found."
"We seem to be pretty perfect for each other to me," Damon said with a smile. "Sure," Damon said, taking hold of her hand and leading her down the little path. Maybe he could find something new for himself...or he wouldn't mind by Alex something. Boyfriends did get their girlfriends gifts after all.
Alex didn't think that he would answer her question since it was a little too personal but..he did. Oh gosh. She wasn't that surprised to hear about his ex-girlfriends..since he was smart and good looking..but changing homes all the time...that's just sad.
"Oh. Honestly, I just can't imagine..that kind of a life." Alex shook her head. She had a huge family..her parents, brother, a lot of relatives who lived nearby..yeah, most of them were annoying..especially her brother and a few of her cousins..but she couldn't imagine a life without them.
"Um..I'm sorry to hear that, Damon." She said, softly.
"I mean, to be able to go through all that..it's just amazing." Alex didn't know what else to say. She wanted to ask about his mum..but well, she wasn't sure if he would want to talk about it. She gave him a smile.
"Anyway, everything has turned out for the best, right?"
Alex smiled.
"You know..if you don't want to go shopping, that's fine with me." She knew that guys usually didn't like to shop..they thought it was just too..girly.
