Author Note: Hey! Here is not a Stefan scene, but instead the scene where Damon explains to Elena that he is NOT Stefan, and how Damon feels throughout this scene (the way I think). So, yeah. That's...about it.
GO!
Damon sat on the floor, leaning on the wall behind him, after getting beaten by Caroline, of all people. Today was just not going his way. He looked at Elena, standing at the door as she spoke up.
"You can't do this anymore, Damon—not in this town, not around me!" He stood up and looked at her, blood running down his chin.
"Why not? Nothing I haven't done before." He glared slightly at her dark, brown eyes.
He slowly started walking toward her, his anger flaring.
"Why is it suddenly so important for everyone to keep me in check?" Elena snapped at him, and he continued to take slow steps toward her.
"Because I don't want you to be what other people think that you are."
His brows furrowed, slightly raising his voice.
"What? A monster?" She pulled back slightly, but he kept going. "Sorry to disappoint you, Elena, but last time I checked, I was still a vampire." She began to raise her voice at him, anger flaring almost as big as his.
"Yes, and I still wish you didn't have to act like one!"
What did she know? She was only eighteen. Damon was a vampire, he'd been alive for over a hundred years. What gave her the right to say something like that to him? He felt his anger getting worse, the fire burning hotter, more dangerous. He'd seen so many people he'd loved die, or leave. Everyone was getting in his face about every little thing he did, especially Elena.
"I am not Stefan." She flinched visibly, but Damon kept going, not able to hold back his tongue. "How about you stop trying to turn me into him?" They both stayed quiet, staring into each other's eyes. Damon had had enough of this. He wasn't going to try and deal with it anymore.
He'd finally snapped.
Damon walked away, Elena watching him as he left.
He couldn't deal with it. Everyone was trying to turn him into Stefan. Why couldn't they see he could never be his brother? He was Damon, not Stefan. He was sure he'd made that clear. When Stefan was still here, everyone still remembered there was a difference between Damon and Stefan Salvatore. So why when Stefan left them they all suddenly tried to make Damon Salvatore be Stefan Salvatore? They wouldn't change him.
The only thing he wanted was his brother back.
