Today will be the day I tell him how I feel. To kiss him and never look back. Driving to the boarding house, excitedly, she ran her hands through her hair.

She knew that his reaction would be surprised. She didn't know why she kept it from him. She knew it would hurt Stefan. But thinking back on all the moments her and Damon had together she knew it was the truth.

She, Elena Gilbert was completely and utterly in love with Damon Salvatore.

Pulling up at the boarding house, she quickly jumped out of the car, closing the door behind her. She literally ran up the boarding house steps and bounded into the boarding house.

Knowing that Damon would be on the couch, most likely drinking at this time of night, she walked to the lounge room to find him sitting down, not facing her.

"Hey, kitten. ", he said, still not looking at her, "Stefan's out hunting bambi. "

She instantly started feeling doubts about this plan. What if he didn't feel the same way? So she decided not to.

"Oh, never mind, tell him to call me when he comes back. ", said Elena, walking back outside, sighing.

She'd chickened out... again for the third time that week. She never even said the first word of the sentence she was going to say. So that was it, huh?

He'll never know.
