A/N Hi! Thanks those of you who have decided to read this story after reading Secrets of Love! It means a lot that you follow me. In case you haven't read it and you like vampire academy i suggest you go for it! (-:

Chapter 1:

"Elena. I'm sorry. This is just how it has to be." Stefan said and turned away from me.

"Please Stefan, we can make this work. It will all turn out alright. We just have to give it time."

He faced me once again and I saw his soft brown eyes and brown hair that made me want to run my hands through it. I loved him so much. "How? This will never be alright. Katherine won't stop until she hurts you, that is, as long as were together. You know I am right."

"But I love you. And you love me. Two people who love each other should be together."

"No. They shouldn't. Now I think you should leave." Tears began pouring down my face. They dripped onto the floor as I tilted my head down to hide my face.

"Stefan..."

"Go." With that last word he left. Walking out of my life. The man- more or less- I loved. I bolted to the door trying to get out of there as fast as possible. I jumped in my car, started the ignition, and drove away.

The drive was a blur. I didn't know what was going on. I just couldn't process what was happening. Stefan broke up with me. I ran through the house and up the stairs without questions. Jenna had gone out with friends and Jeremy was at the grill. When I walking into my room Damon was waiting for me.

"Damon, Im not in the mood right now."

"Im sorry. Stefan. He's not himself. He didn't know what he was doing."

"Wait, did Damon Salvator just say he's sorry. Step right up ladies and gentlemen to see the vampire have feelings for the first time!"

"Elena." I walked up to him and melted into his arms and cried harder than I had all day while he stroked my hair and whispered, "It's ok."

I pulled back to look at him. His iced blue eyes stared at me with concern. They seemed to have a new found warmness. "Why do you care so much?"

"I don't know. I just had to see if you were alright."

"You've done your job. I'm not planning on throwing myself off a bridge. You can leave."

"Elena." He seemed as if he was contemplating whether to tell me something.

"Yes?" He pulls me to him once again. But instead of holding me he kisses me. His kiss sends shivers down my spine. It felt like electricity was flowing between us, pulling us closer.

He pulled away leaving me gasping for air. We held each others gaze for a moment before he said, "I love you, Elena."

"You l-love me?"

"Yes. Elena Gilbert- I am totally and completely in love with you and I can't deny it anymore no matter how much I want to." I was in complete shock. So instead of responding, I kiss him.

"I love you too Damon."
