Elena woke up rubbed her eyes and yawned. She heard her phone vibrate and got a text from Stefan saying, " Damon is looking for you. You weren't answering your phone apparently" Elena sighed and replied back saying, " where is he? Does he have his phone on him?" She was about to put her phone on her diary but she was thinking of all the good memories that she had with Stefan all of those were in her leaf green journal full of thoughts and memories. " yeah he's got his phone" Stefan replied back. Elena dialed Damon's number and waited for an answer. " Why hello, Elena. Sleep well?" Damon asked with a smile. " Jenna is back" He whispered into the phone. Elena walked down the stairs and walked out the door deciding to take a walk. " Jenna is back?" she asked. It was a beautiful morning in Mystic Falls the glistening sun was pouring itself to everything around it. Suddenly, Elena was pushed against her door. She dropped her phone and it was to far for her to reach. " Elena!" Damon called out. " are you there? Hello? Elena?" he yelled again. She heard Damon's voice but she didn't answer back. Her vision became blurry. " hello? Who are you? Stefan if it's you tell me" but there was no answer. Damon decided to hang up and go see what the heck was going on there. When he arrived he saw Elena's door wide open. " Stefan! How can you say that? You broke my heart. Am I suppose to say nothing to you?" Elena yelled. " no but you don't say that to a vampire" Stefan yelled back. " just go I don't want to hear it" Elena replied back with her voice cracking. Damon walked in and glared at Stefan, " Get the hell out! Never see Elena again." Damon advised looking at Stefan. " you can't make me brother" Stefan replied back looking at him. Damon vampire sped to Stefan. " I'm not afraid to kill you" Damon admitted looking at Stefan then at Elena then back at Stefan. " now get out" he said. Stefan walked away and went through the door. " you okay?" Damon asked. Elena lifted her hand to her eyes and felt tears. She couldn't hold them in any longer. Elena eyes began filling up with tears and fell down her face. Damon moved closer and wiped her tears with the tips of his fingers, all he wanted to do now was comfort her. He wrapped his arms around her and said, " It's okay, I'll always protect you. No matter what happens" More tears fell but she returned Damon's hug." You okay?" he asked. " Yeah" she answered back. " Get ready, I'm taking you somewhere. to get you mind off things" Damon spoke and walked out the door. Elena wiped her tears with the back of her hand, she was wondering were they were going. But Elena trusted Damon, so she walked upstairs and got ready. While she was getting ready she heard her phone vibrate. Elena picked it up it was Damon. " You might want to pack extra clothes too." She texted him back saying, " Alright" Elena threw her phone on her bed and got a bag with clothes in it. She picked up her phone and walked downstairs. Elena's hair was normal she was wearing a red blouse and dark blue jeans. Damon knocked on the door with a smile on his face. She opened the door and he was leaning against the door frame. " Ready?" He asked while lifting one of his eye brows. Elena smiled and walked out closing the door behind her. But she never moved yet. I finally get to spend time with Damon, without everyone thinking it was wrong. " You coming?" Damon asked playfully. She really was the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. Elena walked to the car a smiled. He vamp sped to the car and held the door open for you. " After you" Damon advised. Elena got in and he closed the door. He was at the drivers side in seconds. Damon opened the door and got in. Elena was freezing for some reason she shivered and was trying to find her jacket. Damon looked at her and took of his jacket and gave to her. " Are you sure you don't need it?" Elena asked before she received it. Damon laughed. " Dead. Remember? When we get there, you won't be cold anymore. Trust me." Damon notified. Elena took the jacket and put it on. Damon still noticed she was cold, he put the car on quickly and blasted the heat her way. He pulled out of the drive way and started to drive down the road. " Are you still cold?" He asked as he reached a stop sign. " No I'm not anymore" Elena replied. Her soft brown eyes glanced outside, at the beautiful nature of Mystic Falls. Damon looked over to her and couldn't stop starring at her. He shook his head and remained looking at the road. " You will have fun were I'm taking you. I haven't been there for so long. But it's breath taking there." Damon admitted with a smile. Elena was wondering what it could be. She was so curious, probably the most curious she has ever been in her entire life. For some reason. She ran her hand through her chocolate brown hair and smiled at Damon. " It's far, so bare with me" He returned her smile and turned on to the free way and started to go faster. " Do you miss the old Mystic Falls? Without all these supernatural things?" He asked and sped up more. Elena nodded. " Your my favorite part though." She announced and smiled . Elena rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand and yawned. Damon looked at her and chuckled as she yawned. " You look tired. We have a lot of driving to do. Get some rest" He turned the radio on so it played softly in the background. " The old Mystic Falls, the really old Mystic Falls as in 1864 old. It was nice. We were human. You would of liked me a lot better back then" Damon mentioned and smirked looking at her. Elena glanced at his breath taking ocean blue eyes. " I like you, just the way you are. Okay, I'll get some rest" Elena replied and lay her hand back looking at the beautiful mountains as they passed. Her eyes got heavier and she fell asleep in seconds. Damon watched her and smiled. She was just... Amazing on the inside out. Why couldn't she realize that? He drove over the speed limit but not by much. Ever so often Damon would glance at her to see her breath taking features. Elena woke up slowly and rubbed her eyes. Tears started to fall out of her eyes. Damon stopped the car and asked, " Are you okay? Bad dream?" He asked while tucking a piece of hair behind her ear. Damon couldn't take this anymore, she was so beautiful. " I'm fine. It's just when I first wake up my eyes water" She pointed out. One more tear came out of her chocolate brown eyes then they stopped. Elena looked back at Damon, looking into his eyes. Why couldn't she tell him the truth. He exchanged her look and smiled. " You scared me" Damon moved closer and set his lips under her eye which made the last tear disappear. Elena shivered as his lips touched her face. He pulled into the freeway and started to drive again.
"How long have I been sleeping for?" She asked. " Ten hours" Damon answered like he wasn't surprised. " Ten hours?" Elena asked shocked. " How far away is it?" She asked. " Nineteen more hours." He answered and laughed at her expression. " If we really need to stay in a hotel as we get there we can" Elena touched the place under her eye, and could still feel his lips on it. She sighed and smiled at him. He was so extraordinary to look at. Damon was... Perfect.
