"Damon!" I threw a pillow at his chest, trying to suppress my giggles. He gave me his signature smirk, "what?" he purred, his voice laced with pure sex; God, he was so perfect. "get off of me!" I screamed, playfully pushing against his chest. "but I like it here." he complained, giving me a fake pout. I rolled my eyes, but I stopped fighting him and leaned back on his bed, letting him hover on top of me. His bed was so perfect, with it's black satin sheets and it's countless pillows. He smiled down at me before leaning in to place a passionate kiss on my lips.

My cell phone started buzzing, and I groaned, trying to ignore it, not wanting to ruin the moment. He pulled away, eyeing me curiously. "aren't you gonna get that?" he asked, reaching around me to grab my phone out of my back pocket, "...or should I?" I rolled my eyes, "do you have to make everything sexual?"a moment later he had the phone up to his ear, "Elena's phone." he purred, smirking at me. "who is it?" I whispered. When he ignored me I stood up from the bed and walked towards the bathroom to fix my hair.

Suddenly Damon was behind me; he grabbed my shoulder as I approached the door, and I jumped at least 3 feet into the air, "don't do that!" I snapped in fake annoyance, but when I turned to face him the smile fell from my face. He had a stony expression on his face and his eyes were dark and stormy; He looked like he had just witnessed the holocaust. "what's wrong?" I asked, worry evident in my voice. His face wrinkled in pain, and I reached out to stroke his cheek, to reassure him. "It's your family, Elena" he spoke, voice barely audible. I gasped in shock as tears began to creep out of my eyes and down my face. "what happened?" I asked, through the tears. "they're..." he hesitated, but I knew what he was going to say. "dead?" I whispered, and he noddd solomly. I slowly crumpled down the wall and into a little ball in the floor. He knelt down beside me, "your going to be okay Lena, we're going to get through this, it's going to be okay" he soothed, stroking my hair as I buried my head into his chest, struggling to regain my composure. My family was gone, forever.

We sat there for what seemed like an eternity before either of us spoke. He just held me and let me mourn my parents and Jeremy. "how?" I asked, although I wasn't really sure I wanted to know. He pulled back, looking at me before answering. "they drove off the Wickery Bridge." he said before bring me back into a tight embrace. I didn't say anything after that, I didn't know what to say, there was nothing anyone could say to make this better, nothing.


That was three years ago, before I moved to Florida. A few weeks after my family's car accident I had found out that Damon had cheated on me with Katherine Pierce, and I had gone off of the rails. Sure it had only been a few times, and I knew that he was sorry, but I couldn't find it in me to forgive him. In all honesty, if it had happened any other time I would have forgiven him for it, it wouldn't have been easy, but I would have done it for him, for us. He had tried to make it right, he really had, but it was just to much, I couldn't handle it. He had begged me not to move to Florida, begged me to work through this, but I couldn't stay in Mystic Falls, the town where my family had died, the town where the person I thought I would be able to count on forever betrayed me.

Now I had to go back, I had to face everyone and everything I had left behind so long ago. Caroline was getting married, and I was the maid of honor...unfortunately. I loved Caroline, I truly did, she was one of my best friends, one of the few people I had kept in touch with after I moved, but I really didn't want to be in her wedding. To make everything a billion times worse she was marrying Stefan Salvatore, Damon's younger brother, and Damon was the best man. This was going to be the shittiest 2 weeks of my life, No question about that.
