I DO NOT OWN THE VAMPIRE DIAIRES OR ITS CHARACTERS, JUST MY FAN STORY…
"That's your problem, you shouldn't be" Elena said before instantly snapping her mouth shut. She felt bad for even saying it and the hurt in Damon's eyes was enough to stake her to the ground. He instantly turned cold and Elena could see it.
"Your right" he hissed back before turning to leave.
Elena tried to form a sentence to stop him but to no prevail did it work. She watched him leave and instead tried to find someone who could take her home. She had watched as everyone left including Matt and Caroline. She finally decided to just take her chances and walk home; it really had been that kind of night for her. Just as she was about to leave she felt a soft touch on her shoulder. She turned and found Elijah.
"Elena can I escort you home?" he asked softly.
"Thank you Elijah I would very much appreciate it." She smiled as he guided her to his car.
Elijah was nothing like his other siblings. He somehow managed to keep his humanity and couth even after all the century's he had behind him. Elijah opened the door for Elena and she climbed in tucking her dress around her. Elijah shut the door and made his way to the other side climbing in gracefully. He started the engine and drove to Elena's home. He had been there several times and knew with no words where to go. The drive was to quite even for the shortness of the trip.
"Thank you again for the ride home, I almost considered walking." Elena said in a huff.
"Why would you walk, when all you needed was to ask?" he questioned her.
"It was easier I suppose" she admitted.
"The same can be said for asking as well fair Elena" Elijah pointed out.
"Yes I suppose so" she said admitting defeat.
Elena turned her attention to the road as it flashed by her. She was on the edge of losing her strong exterior and breaking down to cry. She knew Elijah could sense her sadness and she tried to mask it as best as she could. They finally reached the house and Elijah put the car in park before climbing out and opening Elena's door. She took the hand he held out for her as she climbed out. The night had somehow grown colder and to a broken heart it was even colder. Elijah walked beside Elena up to her door. She placed the key inside the lock and turned it. She then turned to Elijah.
"Thank you again, I know I've said it a hundred times" she chuckled softly.
"It was my pleasure." He said before kissing her hand.
She blushed at the thought and smiled sweetly to him. He smiled back and for the first time since Elena had known Elijah did she notice how handsome and kind he was. He was a good guy she thought to herself. He turned on his heal and walked down the steps only to freeze and turn back to Elena.
"Elena?" he asked.
"Yes?" she said.
"Would you like have coffee with me tomorrow morning?" he asked almost nervous.
Elena took a moment before answering him.
"I would like that." She said smiling softly at him. Elijah smiled back.
"Great, shall we say 8 at the Mystic Coffee Shop?" he added.
"Sounds good, I'll see you at 8" she said smiling back.
Elijah nodded and climbed into his car. Elena watched as he drove away. She smiled to herself before going inside and closing the door locking it behind her. She pulled the clip from her hair as she climbed the stairs to her room. She opened the door and flipped on the light. The room looked exactly as she had left it. She sighed as she went to the bathroom to remove the smell of incent and perfume from her skin. She finally emerged and reached her bed shortly after. She rested her head on the pillow as she thought over what had happened with Esther that evening. She had to tell Elijah the truth and find a way to break him of the spell. Bonnie could help her she knew it, but tonight she wanted to sleep and let what she had done disappear if only for the night. She still had the morning to sort it out. She turned the lamp off and snuggled into the covers as her eyes grew heavy and sleep over came her.
