" Jacob Black" by Howard shore. (From the Eclipse Score.)

"Waiting for the End" By Linkin Park

"Always Attract" By You Me At Six.

These songs may not relate to this one shot, but gave me this weird idea. Thought it would fit the whole Delena situation. Not that I like their pairing or anything. ¬_¬

Sorry, if it's not amazing wrote it at 1am :L

ENJOY ;DD


Elena's POV

I always would open up to Damon Salvatore, well only lately and weirdly enough without him compelling me. He listened, laughed and advised, eyes glistening with empathy yet I knew his mind was some place else.

We were in the Salvatore boarding house currently. It was late, the fire was fuming and we were on the ground. He was slumped across the glass table glass in hand, drinking some sort of strong alcohol –obviously- and eyes fixated on the fire, then me continuously. I on the other hand, sat there too my legs crossed and at the opposite end of his topless physique. Stefan's diary was flat open in front of me, I read out allowed the dense words from the frayed pages making them come alive. Flicking through, my fingertips set on a page and I breathed out noisily.

Stefan had been locked in the tomb with Katherine for over a month now and I still couldn't come to terms with it. Because, obviously we were apart but also because I knew what he would be doing down there. He thought I was oblivious to what he was capable of, playing the innocent and naïve girlfriend had its pros. It was logical, they were both vampires with temperate highs and lows, minds ringing for blood and intimacy.

"Hmm?"

The distant purr of Damon brought me back to base. With a clear of my throat I answered.

" I was just thinking, I miss him a lot. And what iif he begins to have feelings for Katherine again. Or what if, despite this whole him "being stuck in a tomb" thing, on the outside world one day he stopped loving me and loved a friend of mine and they him?

His eyebrows cocked up an inch first with slight shock and then amusement. His voice was laced with sarcasm and total mockery.

"We are talking about Stefan right?"

A grin emerged widening even more as he downed a sip of the cool succulent liquid he devoured and lived for.

"You do know once those girls look at me they'll be like 'Stefan Who?' Plus, he's the "I love Elena dearly" type frolicking around the place like a love sick mutt."

Damon mimicked Stefan's attitude and visage in such circumstances hoping to lighten the mood but failed.

Elena rolled her eyes stubbornly and then let them drop low ignoring somewhat he had said.

"Be serious for once, I mean it. I'll always put those I love before me, and you know I love Stefan. If he will love another, then I'd sacrifice my love for him, just to see him smile and feel he's worth something. Even for a second."

Elena's tone became emotional and subtle crawling with anxiety and fear. Peering up slightly her gaze locked with Damon's. He was different now, his eyes were too. He seemed agile and closed. The mask he had on just a few minutes ago began to crumble showing an opposing side to him. Lost or numb described it best.

He spoke next with such pain and certainty that the phrase embedded quite deep and literally within her already sore heart. His charismatic pupils fused with hers to make sure she felt every single sound he muttered showing her his own feelings. Hopefully, despite how cruel it sounded."

" I wish, you could sacrifice him for me, just to see me happy … even for a second."
