NEW STORY! :) I know this story line isn't very original but I hope you like it anyway. Review please!

EPOV

I ran down the stairs, a towel still wrapped around my head. The knocks were getting louder and I shouted "One minute". Where were my keys? I search the table and they were there. I ran back to the door and quickly unlocked and opened it.

As soon as I opened the door I recognised him, I stared open mouthed at him. It was stupid for me to have buried him in my past, I knew, even if they said they wouldn't come back that they would since this is their home. His deep blue eyes stared back at me, capturing me. He hadn't change at all, well of course he hadn't, he is a vampire after all.

I finally found my voice. "You can't be here. Go now please" I said and shut the door just as quickly as I had opened it. I lent against the back of the door.

"Elena, open the door" He said. I turned round and locked the door again and put the latch on. This cannot be happening! I stood facing the door, my head resting against it. After awhile I got the courage to look through the peep hole. He was gone, thank God.

I let out a breath which I didn't realise I was holding. I turned around slowly but wish I hadn't. Damon was stood in my hallway smirking, his hands tucked away in his pockets. He was dressed in his usual black jeans, shirt and leather jacket. "I thought you would have been happier to see me" he said. He waited for my reply but I didn't give him one, I just continued to glare in his direction.

He looked round my house. "Hasn't change a bit has it?" he asked. I hadn't wanted to move out, I didn't want to let go of my memories here. Jenna had moved in with Alaric and Jeremy and bonnie had been living together for awhile now.

"You are not welcome here" I said bluntly. I crossed my arms and stood my ground.

"Well that isn't very nice is it? I thought we were going to have the whole running towards each other and embracing in slow motion kind of reunion" He said and when I didn't laugh his face turned serious. "Oh come on Elena, I'm still invited in the house, I can come in when ever I like" He stated.

"No you can't". I unlocked the door and held open. "Leave now". He raised an eyebrow questioningly. "Please".

He started to walk towards the door. "Okay I'll go, but you know where I'll be if you change your mind" He said and left. I locked the door again even though there was no point. If he wanted to come in, he didn't need me to invite him, Caroline had taken care of that ages ago.

I walked into my living room and fell onto the sofa. I can't believe this is happening, not now. I'd just started to come to terms with everything and now he was going to just walk in here and ruin everything.

Zach didn't need this in his life, he was just getting over the fact that his father had left him and he was going to have to grow up with no father figure. I didn't need this. I was getting over the fact that my boyfriend had left me and I had no one to hold onto when I felt like things were going down hill, even though Alex had never really been there to hold on to anyway.

I had met him a year after Stefan had left me. My life was dull and I need someone to make me feel whole again. Alex had done that for awhile but then I had realised that he wasn't as good as I thought he was. But by that time I was pregnant, and I had stayed with him for Zach's sake, not mine. I suppose after Stefan had left, I just needed to feel alive again. I was never in love with Alex, I was just in love with the idea of being in love. Alex had left me though 6 months ago for another woman which he had met. It had destroyed Zach and me as well I suppose, but I got over him and I think Zach will do soon.

I don't won't Zach growing up around things such as vampires, werewolves and witches. I don't want that life for him. I put a tiny bit of vervain in his drink every morning to keep him safe. I had sworn everyone to secrecy, Zach will never find out that his aunty Bonnie was a witch and that my best friend Caroline was vampire.

What gives Damon the right to come back now after they left me, not giving me a choice of what I wanted or if I wanted them to stay. I had loved Stefan, now I- I don't know. How do I finish that sentence? I didn't hate him but he had gone against my wishes and now all I felt towards him was anger.

A Horn beeped at the front of the house so I got up and looked out the window. It was Caroline dropping off Zach. I walked to the door and opened it, I waved to Caroline in her car and watched Zach run up the driveway. He ran up the steps and into my arms.

"Hello sweetie" I said and held him close to me. I hated leaving him in the morning, and I was so glad when I had him back home where he was safe with me.

"Hey mum" he said innocently. He walked inside and dumped his stuff in the hallway and went to run to the kitchen. I cleared my throat and looked him pointedly and the at his stuff on the floor. "Sorry mum" he said and picked his stuff up and ran up the stairs, taking it to his bedroom.

"I'll start cooking dinner" I shouted to him.

DPOV

I stood in the shadows across from Elena's house, waiting. Waiting for anything, just to see her again would be nice. The look in her eyes when she had told me to leave would of shattered my heart if it was still beating. It had been about 5 years since I had last seen her and to be honest I should of expected that reaction but I just wished she could have been a bit more understanding. When we had left, if was for her own good, not ours.

A car pulled up in front of her house and I stepped back further into the shadows, not wanting to be seen. I looked at the driver and recognised her straight away, it was vampire barbie. Well well, long time no see I thought and smirked. She probably still hated me, like most people. That wouldn't be a very nice reunion either. I was already preparing myself for the migraine I will receive from the witch when I see her, that was something I don't plan on doing for a while. Caroline beeped her horn and I saw the blinds flicker in Elena's window.

She came to the front door and swung it open and grinned. That was when I saw the little legs running up the driveway. A child, a little beating heart. He ran excitedly to the house and straight into Elena's arms and she hugged him tightly, holding him for a few seconds before I heard her say "Hey sweetie" and he replied "Hey mum". That was when my undead heart shattered.

Someone owned her heart and that person would never be me.

Review please :)
