Not to Spoil the Ending, but Everything's Gonna be Okay

First Delena fic! Don't judge too much :)

Prologue

Elena felt her eyes slowly open wide. It was already morning. She sighed and looked at the ceiling. The white blankness of the ceiling was reassuring yet alien like at the same time. She felt someone stirring beside her, and she smiled.

"Damon?" Elena whispered. It was early in the morning and her voice cracked as she said his name. She smiled. She could get used to saying his name first thing in the morning.

Damon's eyes shot open and sat up. He looked at Elena's face, eyes darting everywhere, checking if she was okay. He relaxed when he saw she was fine. He smiled gently and used the back of his index finger and swiped her nose. She loved it when he did that. "Morning sunshine," he said softly. His eyes were heavy from watching her sleep last night but he still tried to keep his eyes open. "What do you want to do today?" Yesterday they went to the beach and he gave her a piggyback ride while strolling along the beach.

"Today I want to read a book," she smiled proudly. "My book."

Damon raised his eyebrow. She had been writing this mysterious book for weeks now, and she never let him take a look at what was inside. "Are you sure you're gonna let me read it this time?"

"Yeah, and I want you to read it out loud for me too!" Elena laughed as much as she could.

Damon sighed. He cupped his hand around her face and stroked her cheekbone with the sole of his thumb. He looked into each of her happy looking eyes and closed his own. He smiled, took a deep breath and opened his eyes. "Okay Lena! Let's read this book of yours." He got out of bed and walked over to her dresser, never letting go of her hand for a second. Today was exactly a week after the 4th month.

He slowly opened the blinds and the sun shone through the window, lighting up Elena's pale looking face. Elena squinted her eyes and blocked the sunlight with her hand. She stuck her tongue out at Damon, and her eyes slowly adjusted to the light. "Come back into bed already, stupid!" She pulled his arm.

"Arg!" he pretended to fall over on top of her, but his elbows were propped up beside her neck, so he could prevent crushing her. She giggled, and he felt his heart warm at the sound of her laughter. As both of them slowly stopped laughing, Damon looked into her eyes carefully. Her eyes showed courage and brightness, and he could see his own face reflected upon them. He kissed her on the forehead and rolled over back to his side of the bed. "Why do you want me to read this book again?"

"Because I want to publish it someday." She held his hand and looked up at the ceiling again. She imagined back in her own room, she had taped pictures of her and Damon all over the ceilings that you couldn't see a spot of white at all.

"Then publish it yourself silly," Damon smiled and reached out to tickle her.

"Stop it!" Elena laughed. She smacked his hand away and nodded towards the book. "I wanted you to read it before I published it." She smiled and turned over to look at him.

Damon looked at the book cover and chuckled to himself. "Is this a story about us?"

"Of course it is," Elena snuggled up against Damon and pouted. "Read it already!"

"Okay, okay already Lena," He smiled. He slowly opened up the cover of the book and flipped through the first blank page. On the second page, the pages were filled with Elena's writing.

"Elena was scared…"
