NEED YOU NOW

Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor.

Elena Gilbert was sitting on her floor, looking at all the pictures of her family and friends, before her parents died. Ones of her Bonnie, and
Caroline at the park, in cheerleader uniforms, at partys...Ones of Jeremy before all the drugs, and Vicki...She felt so bad tonight, the
anniversery of her parents death.

Reaching for the phone Cause I can't fight it any more. And I wonder if I ever cross your mind? For me it happens all the time.

Tears in her eyes, she reached for her cell phone. She need to talk to someone who understood. Someone who need the pain of loseing
someone...Elena scrolled down her contact list and found his number. She hit the call button and waited.

'Hey, it's Damon, Leave a message...'

It's a quater after one, I'm all alone and I need you know. Said I wouldn't call but I've lost all control and I need you now. And I don't know how I can do without...I just need you now.

"Hey, It's me. I know it's late, but I need someone now. I need to see you. Come by when you get this. Bye." Elena whispered, hanging up.

Another shot of whiskey, can't quit looking at the door. Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before.

Damon Salvatore sat at the bar, throwing back shots. This wasn't unusual, he did this every night. Because of her. He'd look at the bar door, hopeing that Katherine had chaged her mind.
That she'd come walking into the bar, come back to him.

And I wonder if I ever cross your mind. For me it happens all the time.

He sits there, drowning his sorrows and wondering if she ever thought of him. If she ever regretted leaving him. If she ever really loved him. He thought of those questions everyday and had no answer. He fished his phone out of his pocket and hit her speed dial instantly.

'Hey, It's Elena, sorry I couldn't take your call leave me a message and I'll get back to you.'

It's a quater after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now. Said I wouldn't call but I've lost all control and I need you now. And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now.

"It's Damon...I don't know why I'm calling you. I guess I'm a little wasted. I...I need to talk to you...I guess...Call me back, please..." He hung up, finished his drink, laid some bills on the bar, and left.

Moments later Damon was tapping on the glass of Elena Gilbert's window. She looked up with tear filled eyes and stood. She opened the window.

"What's wrong?" Damon asked sliding inside.

"It's been a year since..." Elena wrapped her arms around Damon's waist and cried into his chest.

Damon, who had never been comforted or given comfort, put his arms around her completely lost.

"Does it get better?" She asked, after the tears slowed. "Does the pain ever stop?"

"I'm not going to lie to you, No, it doesn't. But the pain is the only reminder that it was real."

"Of course it was real. My parents are dead and you're a..."

"Not that. I know they were real, as was she. The love. Your love for them, my love for her..." Elena nodded and rest against him. She yawned.

"It's late. You should sleep." Damon said, unwinding himself from her.

"Will you stay?"

Damon grabbed her desk chair in answer. He positioned it next to her bed side and hung his jacket on the back.

"Good night, Damon." She said.

"Good night, Kitten." Elena tossed a pillow at his face.

"Do not call me that!" She snapped. Damon smiled and kissed her forehead.

"Good night, Elena."

Guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothin' at all
It's a quarter after one I'm all alone and I need you now
And I said I wouldn't call but I'm a little drunk and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
I just need you now (wait)
Ooo, baby, I need you now

I know the ending is a little messed up and doesn't go with the song but I liked it.
