Damon's POV
In the few days that passed after Pennsylvania, Elena was reckless. Stefan and I didn't do anything to piss her off, but that didn't mean we weren't still trying to find a way to make her take the cure. "We can't keep her like this, we have to help her, but she doesn't want the cure." "Well, why don't we just make her want to take it?" Stefan said with such optimism, like it was so easy. "Yeah, that's going to be easy. Alright we'll have to talk about this later, I've got to go get ready for this prom I have to chaperon for." "Oh, right I completely forgot, I'll have to go get ready to." We left the parlor and went our separate ways to our rooms.
Elena's POV
Since I turned my emotions off I was having the most fun I've had in a long time. I don't care how many people I had to kill to get Damon and Stefan to realize I'm not taking this cure. Whatever I couldn't think about this now, I had a prom to get to. Prom. Before I found out about vampires, or became one, I dreamed about my prom night. Ehh who cares now, it's not as important. I quickly did my hair and makeup, and put my dress on. It was a floor length, strapless hot pink dress. It matched my new hot pink strands in my hair. As I left the house to go to my limo, I was greeted by a very dapper looking Damon. "Well, I didn't expect you to be here." I said very coldly. "Well I mean I do live here too, I had to go pick up the limo, I'm your date for tonight." He said as he put a pink corsage on my wrist. "Thanks, it's beautiful."
Damon's POV
"Thanks, it's beautiful." Those words showed me that there was still hope for Elena. No humanity Elena wouldn't have said that ever. "Well shall we?" I said as I held out my arm, she put hers through it and we got into the limo and drove to the high school. As we entered the high school she ran off to god knows where. I finally found Stefan, "come with me, we have something to do" Stefan followed me until I found Elena. I scolded her very bluntly and said "Don't eat the prom queen" That was something I shouldn't have said. She used vampire speed and left the dance. "Oh crap!"
Elena's POV
I just had to get out of that dance, I knew exactly where I was going, the cemetery. Alaric's grave. It was the only place where I could clear my head, and where nobody was going to judge me. As soon as I got there I just started talking to Alaric, and I just wouldn't stop talking.
